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

[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.

[hellpyre]

Me either. You know how bad I crashed and burned the last time I even tried to do... anythin' like this.

A-and it's not like we're in any kinda normal situation here.

[Dating at the end of several worlds and the beginning of a new one. Sounds like a recipe for disaster if ever there was one.

Rin sighs and rubs the back of her neck, a few strands of blue-black falling loose.]

I mean... I guess normally we'd like... go on a few dates, and figure it out from there, but here...

[kyotoprincess]

Yeah, going out on the Skyway doesn't sound like a good date.

[Then again, who knows? Maybe kicking ass and taking names would make for an awesome date after all.]

[hellpyre]

[Oddly enough that would almost be normal for them.]

Not unless we find some place that isn't infested with monsters. It can... kinda be pretty out there. For like. Five seconds.

[They are the best at conversation]

[kyotoprincess]

Maybe we could find a spot out there and make it safe from the monsters.

[Totally the best.]

[hellpyre]

And how are we gonna do that, oh great and wise monk? You got a plan for this or what?

[At least she can still make horrible jokes]

[kyotoprincess]

Yeah, let's chase 'em off and make Crona into a scarecrow.

[Whoops he can joke too.]

[hellpyre]

Pfft--! Hahaha!

[That got Rin laughing, harder than she'd laughed in a while. Granted her chest still hurt, but it didn't really bother her. It felt better to laugh like that, then to dwell on whatever leftover pain was there.]

I-I think... Crona would protest that... and not know how to deal with bein' a scarecrow.

[kyotoprincess]

Come on, all he has to do is stand there in a straw hat.

[It's good to hear Rin laugh like that. It's way better than having her cry.]

[hellpyre]

They'd still be like "I don't know how to deal with being a scarecrow!"

[She's calmed down in to giggles now.]

Maybe we should stick to somethin' simple? There's always dinner together...

[Oops there go her cheeks again]

[kyotoprincess]

[Blushing seems to be a common thing with them.]

I guess we could do dinner, yeah.

[hellpyre]

[Adorable awkward teenagers]

Alright.

Uhm... I can figure out what we got. Probably not gonna be anythin' gourmet but I can make it decent at least.

[kyotoprincess]

Maybe we should get someone else to cook it, to make it more date-like.

[hellpyre]

... oh. Right. Sometimes I forget I'm not the only cook here.

[Rin. Please.]

[kyotoprincess]

Yeah, we didn't starve while you were sleeping.
