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]

Here--

[Rin makes her way over, wading through the water to get the other end and help tug it out.]

It would be. Did ya know Cores can charge electrical things? I held my mobile up to one and the battery was back in a few minutes. Not that it does anythin' here...

[kyotoprincess]

You could still take pictures with it, I bet. And you never know, the next Core might get us a cell phone tower.

[Phones would definitely be useful out on the Skyway.]

[hellpyre]

That's true! Though a cell tower here would be really outta place.

[Rin grunted as she tugged at the log, finding it a lot harder to move than she usually did.]

Nn--... damn this thing is heavier than it looks!

[kyotoprincess]

It's probably stuck on something.

[He stops tugging on it and wanders over to the other end to see where it goes. Surprise surprise, it's part of a larger tree that's still stuck in the ground.]

...I guess we'll have to cut it off, or leave it there.

[hellpyre]

[Rin followed, leaning around Bon to see where it was attached at. She frowned, wondering if she had any chance at all of uprooting it by sheer strength.

... probably not. At least not in her current state. She'd just hurt herself more.]

Samuel might have a saw.

[kyotoprincess]

[Why would a small child have a saw?]

We can leave this one here for now, and take care of the rest. Then we can grab one from someone on our way back after we drag the brush to the burn pile.

[hellpyre]

[Whoops she meant Stuart. Shut up she's bad with names. She can barely remember her own sisters names on a good day.]

Alright.

[Back to work then!]

[kyotoprincess]

[Rin you need to be better at names 8|

But whatever Bon is still working. And eventually he leans over to grab a stick out of the water, except it's stuck tighter than he expected and he slips in the mud and he'll go tumbling into the river.

But not before wildly trying to grab something to stop himself from falling, which may or may not be Rin.]

[hellpyre]

[Or Rin's tail.

That shriek may have very well been at a pitch only dogs can ear, but it was still a shriek of pain. One that was cut short when, by utter lack of balance and sheer agony dropping her like a sack of bricks, she winds up face planting in to the river next to Bon.

Should he get up, he'll find a very limp Rin, face down in the water, bubbles gurgling out next to her.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Whoops. Sorry Rin.

It takes him a moment to notice, but as soon as he's sitting up and aware of Rin drowning next to him, he'll hurry to grab her and pull her out of the water.]

Don't just lay there like that, you'll drown!

[hellpyre]

[Rin is dragged up coughing, sputtering and groaning, hanging like a limp rag doll in Bon's grip.

Sorry, you kind of almost ripped her spine out. Don't expect her to be okay right away.]

[kyotoprincess]

[omg you drama queen don't make him drag your ass out of the river.]

...Rin. You can't just sit on me in a river.

[hellpyre]

[Might just have to]

You have... no idea... how much that fuckin' hurts.

[kyotoprincess]

Well excuse me, it was a reflex.

[He does not sound sorry at all. But he will still try to drag Rin out of the river, and at least place her on the shore.]

[hellpyre]

Nnn... whatever...

[Just... leave her there until she can find the strength in her legs to move again. Never mind that she's completely soaked through and is wearing an off-white shirt.]

Don't expect you to understand...

[Another groan, and she rolls on to her side, holding a hand to her back where her skin has turned a nice shade of angry red where it meets her tail]

[kyotoprincess]

[Whoops he may have noticed that. And he may have turned away really damn quickly to look away.

And a few seconds later he's stripped off his (much darker) shirt and tossed it to Rin.]

Here.

[hellpyre]

Erf--... was'is for?

[The question came muffled, from under the shirt that had so gracefully landed on her head]

[kyotoprincess]

It's my fault you got all wet, so...

[So cover yourself up before anyone else realizes what happens when there's a wet white shirt.]

[hellpyre]

... oh.

[Right. That.

Rin is just... going to huddle up under that shirt now. And try not to look as mortified as she feels.

Maybe she should have stayed in bed.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Goddamn why is it always so awkward?

And Bon being shirtless now probably doesn't help.]

...

I think we're doomed to mess this crap up no matter what we do.

[hellpyre]

By 'this crap' d'you mean tryin' to work or...

["or us"?

Even though... there was nothing between them. Right?]

[kyotoprincess]

[Oh good Rin added that as well, because Bon was totally mentally adding that at the end too.

Except he can't bring himself to admit it, and instead he sighs and keeps looking away.]

I don't know what I mean anymore.

[hellpyre]

[God she hated this. She hated how she had just said 'Okay' to him telling her there wasn't anything between them, that they were "just friends". She had just rolled over and ignored - no, squashed any feelings of her own because why the hell should she be allowed to have happiness that extended beyond fractions of a minute?

She couldn't force him to make a decision. She wouldn't force him to make a decision. But his inability to do so was finally nudging up against her irritation and frustration over the whole thing.]

Maybe you should figure it out...

[She got up then, slipping the shirt off of her and holding it out at arm's length, refusing to look at him as she did so. She was shivering, and exposed, but she wasn't going to take it with her.]

[kyotoprincess]

[He hates that it's become like this. He just wants to get angry and yell at Rin for being an idiot, but now he actually feels guilty about it and all of his anger drains from him before he can get one word out.

Instead of focusing on what he should have been focusing on, he just frowns and says something else.]

Come on, you're soaking wet. Just wear it until you get back to the apartment building, so you don't get cold.

[Because clearly that was the most important thing right then.]

[hellpyre]

I'm fine. Just take it.

[Her teeth are clenched, and the words come out nearly a hiss, anger boiling to the surface and blurring the rest of her feelings in to a mess she couldn't sort out.

She didn't even want to be angry at him, but she had reached a point of not knowing how to deal with her feelings any more than he did.]
