whoops wanted some hurt-comfort

[paladaddy]

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?

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.

Going with 1, and I can start it \o/

[It had been a damn Pincushion. There had been several in the location they had headed to, but they were easy enough for Bon to take out with long ranged shots. Rin had taken care of the Squirts, and the one Giant Gasfella had been a team effort to take down. Rin dealt it the final blow, and she had been so proud of the fact that she had finally gotten one over on those bastards she had so much trouble with that she couldn't help but stand and give her friends a dopey grin and a thumbs up.

But they had missed a Pincushion, tucked away in a corner, blocked by some boxes they had yet to go through. It's range was blocked by the boxes as well, but that only lasted until Rin had landed herself right in it's one narrow field of view with her back to it..

It had been such a moment of victory for her... until the faint ptchoo! sounded from it. There was no time to move, and the spike went right through from her back to her chest.

She couldn't scream. She couldn't even cry out. There was just a moment of dead silence as she felt warm, sticky blood rush out from her wounds and down her skin, down her chin from her mouth, staining her clothing and dripping on the ground. She couldn't pull in a breath, air suddenly blocked from getting to her lungs. She stumbled forward, one step, two steps, and her knees buckled. The sky above tilted and spun, and strong arms caught her. There were cries then, people shrieking her name, barking orders, but anything after that just became a faded mess of memories hazed by pain like she had never felt before. Words didn't make sense, though lips moved on the faces above her.

Bon was touching her face. Was he saying to hang on? She couldn't tell. He looked angry. He always looked angry. But there was something in his eyes that betrayed just how truly frightened he was for her.

From then on it was like the lights in her mind were being turned on and off - black, then vision, black, then vision, too many jumbled pictures to make sense of it all. She was being taken back, that much she understood, but beyond that...

She had been through a lot of things, sustained a lot of injuries, but she always came back from them. She healed faster than a human, recovered from fights and battles in record time even when she still sometimes had to be patched up, but this... could she come back from this... ?

At some point she blacked out entirely, and unbeknownst to her she had been taken care of back in the Bastion. It was a waiting game from there. Body bandaged, she lay in her bed, chest rising and falling with some struggle to her breaths. She would wake up, it was just a matter of when.]

BEING AONO IS SUFFERING

[kyotoprincess]

[Three days.

Rin had been out of it for three long, long days. And during that time, Bon had barely left her side. Sleep rarely came, and it had taken Marie to finally get him to eat a decent meal.

It was hard to stop watching over Rin, simply because he didn't know what was going to happen to her. She had accelerated healing, thanks to her demon side, but she had also taken a big-ass spike right to her chest. Even with healing, there was no guarantee that she would survive such a serious wound, especially without a doctor there to take care of her. All they could do was sit and wait.

While Bon sat there, leaning his chair back against the wall next to Rin's bed, all he could do was think about that day. There had to have been something he could have done differently. They could have been watching more carefully, or even have shouted out a warning to her. Something, anything different could have saved her. But he hadn't acted, and here she was, somewhere between life and death.

She better pull through. Bon wouldn't be able to live with himself if she didn't.]

at least we aren't meduca? =D;

[hellpyre]

[Time was an ill described concept for her. Sometimes she was simply hovering in nothingness, but there were other moments where it was closer to lying on her back floating in an inky black ocean, adrift, lost and so far from shore but without the strength needed to swim in any given direction.

But those three long days passed and, just as what would have been considered evening had it not been for the constant light on the Bastion, her fingers twitched. Her tail followed suit, slipping off the edge of the bed and curling. There was no groan, no noise as she opened her eyes, blinking slowly as if uncertain that what she was seeing was really there in front of her.]

They COULD be meduca

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon had been drifting off to sleep despite his best efforts, so he doesn't notice Rin waking up at first. His arms are crossed in front of him, and his head hangs low, partially obscuring his face. If Rin looks over, though, she can easily see that his eyes are closed.

Whoops he had totally meant to be awake when Rin woke up.]

I have a feeling that would horrible

[hellpyre]

[Sitting up takes more effort than she was expecting it to, and with it plenty of wincing and hitching breath. Once in something of an upward position, she touches a hand to her chest, looking down at the loose too-big shirt she was put in. Pulling the collar down found her bandaged up, from collar bone down nearly to her hips.

Her lips moved in a swear, but no voice came out, throat dry and scratchy from three days without speaking. Her hand released the shirt only to dig in to her hair, head shaking harshly as she mentally berated herself for such a sloppy move. She should have known better, to let her guard down so easily...

It was done and over with, but she had a feeling there would be more than one person who was going to fuss at her, or yell, or make some big deal over it.

I should go let them know I'm alright...

With that thought she started to get up, swinging her legs over the edge of the bed, every move slow and achy. It was then that she finally spotted Bon. She had been so wrapped up in her thoughts and waking presence that she hadn't even heard him breathing, but it made her stop and stare, lips slightly parted in a faint expression of surprise.

How long had he been there... ?]

Bon... ?

[Hesitantly, a hand reached out, fingers tapping his knee.]

It would be

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon wakes with a start, going from asleep to wide-awake in no time at all. He sees the hand on his knee first, and his eyes follow along it up to where Rin is.

For a moment, he doesn't know what to say. She's awake, and it doesn't look like she's in pain, which is good. He wants to yell at her for not paying attention, but he feels too relieved to be angry.

Plus she might not be fully healed yet. Fast healing or no, she just had a huge hole in her chest. He really should check on that first.]

How are you feeling?

[He tries to sound neutral as he says that, but his voice cracks near the end, betraying his feelings. For a while he had really thought she wasn't going to pull through.]

[hellpyre]

[She would accept the yelling. She knows she deserves some sort of reprimanding for what happened.

Her hand moved back to rub at her chest about where the bandage starts, making a face. She's healed, yes, but it still feels strange. Tender, almost. Bruised maybe? She can't tell, she's never had an injury that extensive before.]

Sore. ... how... long have you-- ... how long was I out?

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon looks away.]

Three days.

[Technically that answers both questions.

Though really, it might be a little more or less than that, since they don't really have any way of keeping track of time here. Even sleeping isn't reliable, since everyone sleeps at different times.]

[hellpyre]

[It did answer both questions, but she has a moment of doubt.]

... you've been here that whole time?

[kyotoprincess]

[Whoops. He didn't mean to admit to that.]

Well someone had to watch over you, so I figured I was the best choice for the job.

[It's not like he actually wanted to stay there or anything!]

[hellpyre]

[Sorry, Bon, your tsun is going to be ignored. She's actually touched. She really hadn't expected him to do something like that.]

Ryuuji...

[Oh shit, she did not mean to say that. She slaps a hand over her mouth, face going a very interesting shade of red all the way to her ears.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Wait.

What?]

What's this all of a sudden?!

[Seriously Rin, it's not like they're on a first-name basis or anything. Way to make him embarrassed, he looks up at her in shock and then goes beet-red.]

[hellpyre]

I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry I was just surprised--! I won't say it again!

[You know how male Rin's voice can sometimes go up an octave and sound oddly squeaky? Girl Rin is doing that right now, only about two ranges up from that. Complete with flailing her hands before covering her face completely with both of them and hunching over. God why did she do that?!]

PART 2 MUCH LATER

[kyotoprincess]

[Much later, after awkward times and Rin heals up, Bon will go bother Rin.]

Yo, let's go out to the Skyway today.

[Yeah it's pretty much business as usual, even if they're dating.]

[hellpyre]

[Yup. But Business as usual works for them.

She was in the middle of mending a shirt (poorly, but at least she's trying) when Bon popped up to say that.]

... oh thank God I thought I was gonna go insane from boredom. Yes. Please.

[kyotoprincess]

It's been a week, you're bound to be all healed up by now, right?

[He's still going, though. Now that he's being truthful about his feelings, he has even more of a vested interest in Rin's safety.]

[hellpyre]

Yup! No more pain or anythin'!

[She's not going to argue against the company. They don't get time to themselves often, so even if it's the Skyway it's still a break from being around the others.]

[kyotoprincess]

Then get ready, and let's go.

[He may already have his stuff to go oops.]

[hellpyre]

'kay! Lemmie get dressed!

[She went bouncing off, and returning about ten minutes later, hair pulled back and dressed in the outfit she used mostly when she was going to be out on the Skyway. Not the most comfortable thing she owned but it had layers for protection, which was better than running around in a skirt and blouse.]

Ready!

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon nods, and off to the Skyway they goooooo!

Their explorations take them to a swamp this time, though. They must've got turned around at some point.]

If there ends up being giant killer bugs here I am going to be pissed.

[hellpyre]

[Rin has stopped to look up at the sky, but it all looks even more unfamiliar than the places they usually go.]

... I'm a little more worried about where the fuck we are.

[kyotoprincess]

In a swamp, from the looks of it.

[They haven't strayed too far from the usual areas yet, so he's not so concerned. They can always backtrack if it gets too difficult to move on.]

...watch out for pincushions.

[hellpyre]

[It's almost dark, though, with the canopy of the weird, thick-leaved trees above casting shadows like she hasn't seen in months. It's disorienting, to say the least.]

Yeah...

... pretty quiet for a swamp.

[kyotoprincess]

A little too quiet-

[He stops suddenly, both in words and in body. He also holds a hand up to stop Rin.

Up ahead, there's a strange plant. It looks kind of like a Pincushion, but it doesn't have any needles sticking out of it.]

What's that?

[hellpyre]

Eh-- ?

[Rin runs in to Bon's back when he stops, peeking around his arm to get a look at what he's staring at.]

... w... what the fuck is that? It's like... a flower with a face...
