♨ 1 Apple Pie + Five Apples and Cinnamon - Action ♨

[crytearsofjoy]

[Everyone seemed so down by the draft, but Winry just couldn't be. You have to have faith in your fellow Lucetians, right? Surely they are skilled enough. They have to be. She believes in them. Honestly her bright outlook comes from the understanding that Haruhi and she have come to about their relationship. Everything seem to fit. Everything

[i_speak_softly]

[It's Donatello who answers the door, with a look of exhaustion and dread on his face. His expression clears a little when he sees who it is, though.]

[He speaks very quietly:] Hi. What's up?

HUZZAH

[crytearsofjoy]

[She's concerned about that look on his face, but she tries to give him a smile.]

Hey, Don. Is Raph here?

[i_speak_softly]

[He puts a finger to his lips, then gestures her inside.]

[crytearsofjoy]

[She keeps quiet, and slips inside. She tries to keep her footsteps light as she enters. Is someone sleeping?]

[meanandgreen]

[Raph was sleeping until the knock on the door. And he planned to just ignore it until he realized it was Winry. He's headachey, sore, and nauseous, but he manages to sit up and peer at her over the back of the couch.]

What're you doin' here?

[His own voice makes him wince, but he'll deal with it.]

[crytearsofjoy]

[The blond walks over so that she can face him. When she speaks it's a whisper.] I came to apologize.

[meanandgreen]

[Raph stays seated in his nest of blankets, rubbing at his aching head. He's pale, his eyes are bloodshot, and there may or may not be vomit in that garbage can on the floor.]

For what?

[crytearsofjoy]

[She wonders if he has a could... or maybe he's been drinking again. Moron.] I over reacted the other day. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.

[meanandgreen]

[He has to think a moment. His brain is too fried to remember that far back today. When it comes to him, he just shakes his head.]

You didn't do anything.

[crytearsofjoy]

Yes I did. And what happened to you? [You look horrible.]

[meanandgreen]

No, you didn't. It was a stupid event.

[He frowns and pulls the thick blanket around him tighter.]

I'm hungover as shit.

[crytearsofjoy]

That doesn't mean I shouldn't take responsibility for my actions.

Don't they have medicine for that? [Or at least remedies?]

[meanandgreen]

No. You're supposed to drink water, but I keep pukin' it up.

[He'll get back to the event crud later. They're not done talking about that.]

[crytearsofjoy]

Have you tried small amounts at a time? [Winry finds herself a spot on the couch with him by his feet. She doesn't take up much room.]

[meanandgreen]

[He nods, then falls quiet for a moment. That small gesture, that familiar, reassuring weight, her warmth when his foot accidentally brushes her hip makes his chest clench. He can't look at her.]

I don't care that you yelled at me. Really. Ain't like I haven't heard it before.

[crytearsofjoy]

But it was wrong of me, and you didn't deserve it. Don't try to argue this with me, Raph. You have my apology whether you accept it or not.
