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?
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.

[hellpyre]

Wh-what's with the look, it was just a question?!

[Bon, she likes you, but god can you be scary sometimes.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Right, the scary face thing. He needs to work on that.

He sighs and rubs at his face before speaking again.]

It was all just really stupid and even remembering it makes me mad. School festivals are pointless, and I wouldn't have even agreed to go if she hadn't started crying when I said no the first time.

[hellpyre]

[He really does.]

... I really wish we had some damn manga here, you need lessons in like... everythin' teenager.

Of course she was gonna cry. She got her hopes up and you said no, that's hard on anyone. And, school festivals aren't pointless. Everyone needs to have a night off to have fun once in a while, even study-focused monks who can't figure that out on their own.

[kyotoprincess]

Did you forget the part where the exorcist exams are only a couple months away?

[Not that it matters anymore, but he's hoping girl!Rin is at least slightly more studious than the Rin that Bon knew back home.]

It's a waste of time to plan out a booth for a festival and participate.

[hellpyre]

One night off isn't gonna make you fail.

[Says the perpetually failing half-demon. She does try, but only slightly more than her male counterpart.]

[kyotoprincess]

It's not just one night, it's a whole week. A whole week of classtime spent making the crap for this festival, a whole week of time after school preparing, a whole week of studying missed for one night that isn't even that fun.

[Whoops he doesn't like festivals.]

[hellpyre]

G-geez, okay, okay...

[Except that she really would have liked to go. It was like the camping trip - something that she could participate in that she had missed out on before coming to the academy, that would have made her feel normal, even if it was just for a little while.]

[kyotoprincess]

Why do you care anyway? It's not like they can happen here.

[He'd not even thinking about how Rin might enjoy something normal like that.]

[hellpyre]

'cause... it's somethin' teenagers do, isn't it? I meant what I said earlier - I didn't have any friends before I came to True Cross.

[kyotoprincess]

...I never did it.

[He wasn't exactly the best at participating in things like that in middle school, and now in high school he's not in any clubs or special things besides the cram school. It never bugged him before, but now that Rin is talking about it, he's thinking about it more.]

[hellpyre]

Yeah but you had something I didn't.

[Friends. Childhood friends at that.]

Your life is still a helluva lot more normal than mine ever was.

[kyotoprincess]

Don't give me that crap. You've met my family, you know they're anything but normal.

[Growing up as the only son of the head of a failing temple was not easy. It wasn't the same as Rin's life, but it was still difficult.]

[hellpyre]

You had friends. You didn't make an entire classroom of kids and teachers terrified of you at six years old! Do you realize how lonely I was?! And if he was anythin' like me then he probably felt the same damn way!

That campin' trip was the first time I actually felt like I belonged some where! Is it so wrong to want more of that?!

[kyotoprincess]

You think you're the only one who had a tough time growing up?!

[Whoops yelling time again.]

What about growing up with your old man's reputation overshadowing everything you do? Where everyone looks down on you and says 'oh, what a poor boy, to grow up in a household like that.' And then no kids want to be your friend, because they hear their parents talking about your family and they start talking about your family too! And even if you wanted to participate in any festivals, everyone would shove you off on some shitty duty apart from everyone else because they think you're cursed and will bring misfortune to the festival!

[hellpyre]

[His yelling doesn't actually get her to yell back for once, because hearing that makes her realize...]

... we're not that different, are we?

[But she's not happy realizing that. It hurts, actually, to know that some one she cares about went through some of the same things she did.]

... kids are jerks, aren't they?

[kyotoprincess]

[With Rin not yelling back, it's easier for Bon to let his anger blow away and calm down a bit.]

No, we're plenty different.

[And not just in the 'I have a dick and you don't!' way.]

You actually want to go do that social stuff, and I don't.

[They deal with crappy childhoods in different ways, basically.]

[hellpyre]

[Bon pls.]

Well excuse me, Princess. Maybe I like bein' around people even if I have been treated like shit. And I like my humanity so I ain't gonna give in to some anti-social desire to hide away from everythin'.

Besides, you hang out with us plenty so don't try to tell me you ain't social.

[kyotoprincess]

[no u.]

Don't call me princess! And I didn't say I wasn't social, I just said I don't like festivals!

[hellpyre]

[Snickering at you, Bon.]

You said if I want to be social that's fine. Even I ain't dumb enough not to take that as 'better you than me'.

[kyotoprincess]

[Curse youuuuuuuuu!

He just huffs and stops there. He's clearly lost this argument.]

...We're just a couple of idiots, aren't we?

[hellpyre]

Mmn... yeah, but at least we can be idiots together.

[Rin goes quiet for a minute, though it doesn't last long.]

So yeah I might be wrong but that whole... thing you're tryin' to figure out... usually it means you're attracted to some one.

Usually...

[She actually doesn't want to be wrong, though.]

[kyotoprincess]

[...

Damnit.]

I'm not attracted to you. You're my friend.

[As if that would stop any attraction.]

[hellpyre]

You can still be attracted to your friends.

[Rin yawns and stretches her arms over her head, rolling her shoulders about. Okay, she can deal with that. It's not like she was hinging everything on him admitting he was in to her like that.

It would have been nice, sure, but she wasn't emotional enough to break down like the girl he had rejected back home.]

But okay. Like I said, I could be wrong. Maybe you're just over thinkin' things? I'unno.

[kyotoprincess]

Maybe it just means we're better friends than before.

[Levels of friendships ahoy! But that's way better to imagine than being attracted to her. Friendships he can handle.]

We still argue all the damn time though.

[hellpyre]

[Clearly these two just need to get drunk--

A shrug came up as her arms went back to her sides.]

I'd be worried if I didn't argue with my friends.
