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.

[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.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Okay, fine, he'll take the shirt.

But then he'll try to pick Rin up and toss her back in the river, to cool off her hot head.

He's finally made a decision, and he wants Rin to be paying attention when he says what he's about to say.]

[hellpyre]

[Well. She shrieked again. Luckily it wasn't nearly as high pitched as the last one, but she's certainly good at making a racket.

Getting tossed back in is much less traumatizing than having her tail yanked, though, and after a bit of sputtering from water in her face she turned, absolutely seething, to glare at Bon.]

WHAT. THE FUCK?!

[kyotoprincess]

[He's standing up on the shore with his arms crossed in front of him and a glare stuck on his face. Because being angry about this is the best thing ever.]

You done being pissy now? Because you better listen up, I'm only gonna say this once.

[hellpyre]

Nng--! Fine! just say it!

[She's listening.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Even now he hesitates for a second before saying it.]

The reason I've been weird the last couple days is because...I like you.

[He quickly adds the next part to it as well, talking a little on the fast side.]

And I don't want anything bad to happen to you, which is why I've been all weird about you over-exerting yourself.

[hellpyre]

You like--... ...

[Duh. Rin. Really?

Though in her defense she had been ignoring the more obvious signs in some weak attempt to save her own feelings from getting hurt. Which had backfired anyway.

Her face had gone beet red again, a wet hand coming over her face as she let out a soft whining noise.

What a mess...]

Can I get out of here now... ?

[kyotoprincess]

...Er, yeah.

[He hadn't thought of how weird it must be for Rin to hear these things while sitting in a river. Oops. He'll move to help her out of the river.

But it still feels awkward as hell, and he feels the need to clarify a point.]

If you don't feel the same way, that's fine. I just had to say something.

[It would hurt like hell, especially after he had just opened himself up like that, but he would deal with it. He was good at dealing with things.]

[hellpyre]

[It was pretty awkward, even after she was out of the river. Standing there, shivering even worse, hair hanging in her face and soaked to the bone, she was struggling to find the words she wanted to say without completely screwing up.]

W-what if I d-do... ?

[WELP. So much for being eloquent about it.]

[kyotoprincess]

[See, in all his self-centered thoughts about this, he had never thought about the possibility that Rin might like him back. He had been preparing for the worst.]

Then I guess we both like each other?

[No seriously what do?

Besides heading back to the apartments, they both need to get changed.]

[hellpyre]

... o-okay.

[Dry clothes would be good because really she can't think very well like this.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Yeah that can make things pretty terrible. Notice how Bon is avoiding looking at Rin right now even though they're sorting out feelings.]

Right. We both like each other.

...

What now?

[hellpyre]

[Rin opens her mouth to say something, but pauses, and after a second of that silence Bon will feel the impact of a fist on his shoulder. Not as hard as she normally can punch, but certainly hard enough to feel it.]

That's for throwin' me in the damn river, first.

[But she's smiling even as she stands there shivering, and it's clear she's not doing it out of anger. As violent as she can be, she's not an abusive person by any means, so it can be chalked up to reasonable payback for that stunt.]

... we should probably get changed before we uhm... talk any more, though.

[Because hypothermia would suck for either of them right now.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon flinches and rubs at the spot Rin hit, but he doesn't argue about it because he deserves it. Instead he just grumbles to himself as they reach the apartment building.]

Yeah, I'll come over once I'm dressed.

[They live right next to each other though so it won't take very long anyway.]

[hellpyre]

[It doesn't take long, no, but Rin does spend a little extra time making herself slightly more presentable than the clothes she normally runs around in. Some time back they had stumbled across the remnants of a clothing store that was a little more modern, and while the selection was not only limited in what was salvageable but in what could fit her, she did manage to come away with a few casual things that she wore occasionally.

She figured this was as good of a time as any to drag one out, and when Bon knocks there's a semi-frantic cry of "j-just a second!", followed by her answering the door in a flowy maroon skirt and a brown top, still-damp hair pulled back in to a loose bun.]

Hi. Sorry...

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon didn't dress up, but he immediately wonders if he should have when he sees Rin. They're barely twenty minutes into this 'admitting feelings' thing and already he's messing it up.

There's a moment of hesitation as he wonders if he should run back and change, but he decides that would be more awkward and just goes with it. Stepping in now kthnx.]

It's alright, no worries.

[Whoops look at that pause.]

So. We were talking about feelings.

[hellpyre]

[Nope, no, it's just her being overly conscious of her own state. Especially after getting tossed in a river. For whatever it's worth her hair is still a perpetual mess, but that's sort of a constant anyway.

She shifts as he steps in, moving back so she can close the door. She's not really sure if they should stay in the really small living room or move to the bedroom, but eventually she decides it would probably be less awkward if there was less bed involved in this and goes for the small kitchen table (if it can even be called that) where there's two wooden chairs to take up.]

Y... yeah. We were.

[Awkward turtles. Forever.]

[kyotoprincess]

Right.

[Awkward turtles doesn't even begin to cover it.

After a moment he realizes where Rin is going, so he moves to the other chair to sit down.]

Look, I'm going to be honest with you. I've never liked anyone before, so I have no idea what to do about...

[Liking people? Dating? All of the above?]

...this.
