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.

Comments

[hellpyre]

N... no, I'm fine! Really!

[Rin if you're going to say that at least take your hand away from your chest.]

[kyotoprincess]

Then why are you holding your chest like it hurts?

[hellpyre]

... cause it... hurts...

[Rin you suck at lying]

[kyotoprincess]

...then you should go lay down.

[Don't refuse, Rin. You're talking to the gorilla here, remember what he did to Izumo on the beach?]

[hellpyre]

Mnn...

[grumble mutter

She'd rather not go alone, but there's no way she's saying that out loud, not after the talk they had.]

Fine...

[kyotoprincess]

[Speaking of going alone...]

...

And if you're going to have nightmares again, you might as well just share my bed from the start, so you don't wake me up in the middle of the night.

[He's trying really hard to sound cool about it, but he is a bit pink in the face as he says it. There's nothing wrong with two friends sharing a bed, but he likes Rin and that makes it awkward.]

[hellpyre]

[Well then.]

...

[How does I words.]

U... uhm... you're-- o... okay... thanks...

[At least you managed a coherent sentence, Bon. That's far cooler than her reaction to it.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Wow Rin you sure are flustered! And that looks kind of adorable and Bon can't believe he just thought that.]

...Right.

[And he stands up and dusts himself off, so they can walk back.]

[hellpyre]

[Flustered Rin is adorable, you're allowed to think so, Bon.

She's just going to... hide her face with her hair once she's standing, because her face is still very red.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon would make a comment except he is walking ahead to hide his own red face.

Why are friendships complicated?]

[hellpyre]

[Because you have the hots for her--

I mean.

Because.]

... oh uhm. Lemmie... lemmie go get changed...

[Because like hell she's sleeping in her day clothes. That would be horribly uncomfortable.]

[kyotoprincess]

Oh. Right.

[Yeah, he should do that too. Jeans do not make for good jammies.

By the time Rin comes back, Bon will be in shorts and a t-shirt, because sleeping shirtless with a girl in his bed is not a good idea.]

[hellpyre]

[That's perfectly acceptable, considering Rin's nightgown is practically floor length. It's way too big for her, and not even really a nightgown in the conventional sense, but they found it during one of the supply runs at random a couple of weeks back and she's been using it to sleep in since it's way more comfortable than anything else she has currently.

She forgoes dragging her own blanket with her this time, though, unsure if she's going to be alright without it. It's not like her room is far though, if she has to go get it.]

[kyotoprincess]

[See, this is the first time Bon really notices what Rin is wearing. And it actually helps with the whole 'oh noooo feelings' thing, because it's pretty much the unsexiest nightgown ever.]

That looks like something my grandma would wear, if she were alive.

[hellpyre]

[Probably for the best because anything else she has to sleep in would only make things worse.

She fidgets with it at the comment, turning faintly red once more.]

I found it before you showed up. Clothes ain't exactly easy to find here and no one else wanted it, so I figured I could at least sleep in it.

[She tugs at the bottom of it, lifting the hem off the ground. It really is too big for her. Whoever wore it before her must have been a pretty tall, fuller-figured woman.]

I think this is one'a those things that go under those old dresses with big skirts that people in like... England or wherever would wear.

[kyotoprincess]

[See, a normal boy would be thinking lewd thoughts about how easily that nightgown could be slipped off. But Bon is not a normal boy at all. Hearing the comment about gowns just makes him think about the people he's seen on the Skyway.]

Now that you mention it, all of the clothes I've seen on the statues looked like they belonged in a foreign country.

[hellpyre]

Hey yeah! I noticed that, too! Like... another country or another time or somethin'. Hell, even the clothes I got after my uniform got trashed look like somethin' out of an old west movie or whatever.

[She flops on the bed, letting the fabric fall back down with her movements. Luckily even though it's too big for her, it doesn't seem to be slipping off too much right now.]

They don't talk about the people that were here before much, do they... ?

[Meaning the other people that were around when the Calamity happened.]

[kyotoprincess]

[He sits down on the edge of the bed as well.]

Yeah, they don't. Maybe it's too painful for them.

[hellpyre]

Maybe... can't say I blame 'em.

[Even the ones they lost after the other survivors arrived don't come up in conversation much anymore. Everyone seems to think that moving on and not looking back is the best path.

She rubs at her chest again, letting out a tired sigh.]

[kyotoprincess]

[It certainly is the least painful path, to move on.]

I don't think they've forgotten, they just grieve in their own way. Everyone lost someone.

[hellpyre]

I hope not. I worry... about forgettin', I mean. The longer I'm here the more I get used to 'this is how it is' and I've had moments where I forget I was ever a student at the academy.

[kyotoprincess]

[Now that is a little worrying. Sure, Rin has been here for longer than most people, but it hasn't been that long compared to her time at the academy. He regards her carefully before speaking.]

Why do you think that's happening? Is it because everyone's been so busy here?

[hellpyre]

I think... 'cause we all try not to think about it. Our homes are gone. It's not like we can get 'em back.

[She's always said "all I can do is keep moving forward" but in this situation it's almost literal. There is no going back. The past is a place and people that she'll probably never see again.

She doesn't want to forget, but remembering is almost as painful as anything else they've had to deal with.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Well, Rin's right there. Bon had been trying to avoid thinking about home as well, though he hadn't gone so far as to forget about things yet. Moving forward in a place like this was almost impossible.]

...I guess we have to make new memories, then.

[hellpyre]

[Rin also has a finite level of brainpower she can dedicate to any one thing, and unfortunately being either a depressive lump of demon or falling in to neurotic tenancies because the entire fucking world exploded and she keeps almost dying tends to be both physically and emotionally taxing.

Bon's comment does make her stop, though. They had a lot of good memories, sure, but make things hurt a lot less. It would still hurt, but anything to dull the pain of all their losses.

She smiled then, sitting up with her tail wagging under her nightgown.

Sorry, Bon. You're getting hugged.]
