backyardbbq | whoops wanted some hurt-comfort

Just say which of mine you want in the subject header o/ If you don't want to make shit up here's the list of prompts form a random h/c meme. Dice-thingy is here.

1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

[In all honesty, Shiro's apparent emotional detachment is a good thing for Stein. He'd rather not have Marie's emotional outbursts right now.]

All right.

... Does anyone else know what happened?

I told them there had been an accident in the basement, and by the time I found you you were already dead.

[No mention of insanity, no mention of Shiro's involvement, nothing.]

If you want anyone to know the truth, that's up to you.

I doubt they believed you.

[He shrugs.]

They didn't ask any questions about it, and they've been staying away from the lab. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, as long as they don't get involved.

I'm sure yours don't care. [Stein's students are more likely to know what's going on, and more likely to worry.]

How'd Marie handle it?

[Stein don't be emo like that, Shiro's kids care! They just aren't in on the loop.]

About as well as you'd expect.

We have another Marie-shaped dent in the living room floor, by the way.

You should probably stop throwing her around.

I will when she stops trying to punch me through walls.

Why would she do that?

To avoid being thrown across the room? That seems like a good enough reason for me.

Why were you going to throw her across the room?

Well, 'throw' isn't quite the right word. Judo uses the attacker's momentum against them, so 'flipping' would be more accurate.

And as for why, I'm not just going to let myself be punched like that.

Why was she trying to punch you?

Because she thought it was my fault you died.

[Which it was, but she didn't know the exact circumstances at the time.]

... wasn't it?

Yes, but not for the reasons she thought. I would have been upset by the words 'how could you just let him die like that' if it really hadn't been my fault.

It sounds like I have some damage control to do.

Don't worry about it so much. This isn't the first time I've had to be the bad guy, I'm used to people hating me.

[It doesn't mean he likes it, but he's not afraid of getting his hands dirty.]

You don't want Marie hating you.

You're right, I don't. But you can't always get what you want, right?

If Marie hates you, there are going to be more problems than just Marie-shaped holes in the floor.

So do you want to tell her the truth?

[Of course he doesn't want to.]

I'll talk to her.

[Because that would be admitting to his own problems, right?]

Alright. She should be at home now, she's been wallowing in your bedroom since you died.

[He hesitates for a moment there, wavering between saying the next part and keeping quiet.]

I would understand, if you hate me too.

[He hates talking about the insanity, pretends that if he ignores it and fights it, it will go away. The ultimate meister's ultimate weakness.]

Why would I hate you? You did what was necessary.

[It's going to kill him eventually. Back home, here, he's not going to be able to fight the insanity forever. Eventually he will die because of it.]
