Servant's Quarters, room 4, Tuesday Evening, 9-25-07

[fumoffu_fmp]

Sousuke stood with his cellphone in hand, looking out the window of his dorm room as he made his report to his superiors at Mithril. Due to the state of his shoulder, he'd been unable to type, and was thus forced to deliver the information over their secure line.

Comments

[whisperedblue]

"Right," she rolled her eyes, giving him a worried look, and helped him into the room from the other thread.

[fumoffu_fmp]

"It's nothing you need to worry about, Kaname," he replied in an attempt to be reassuring.

[whisperedblue]

Her response was to practically force him to sit down on the bed dig out the first aid kit for him. "Too bad. I'm worried," she said with an air of finality.

[fumoffu_fmp]

"I suppose it can't be helped, then." He really wasn't going to argue with her tonight. She probably could have announced her intention to hang him upside-down from the flag pole, and he would have agreed.

[whisperedblue]

While the flag pole thing was tempting...

She would settle for him taking the recommended dose of painkillers for the moment and set about measuring those out while he changed the bandage.

When she was satisfied with her efforts she padded back over to the bed, pills in one hand, bottle of water in the other. "Painkillers. Take them. Now."

[fumoffu_fmp]

He finished taping the bandage into place and looked at what she had brought him. "I really don't need that much." Okay, maybe there was a little protest left in him.

[whisperedblue]

She glared at him. "Either you take them or I drag you off to the clinic. Your choice."

[fumoffu_fmp]

"All right." He sighed inwardly and took the pills from her, swallowing them down with a mouthful of water.

[whisperedblue]

Kaname sighed outwardly. "Good." She gave him a gentle but firm push towards lying down on the bed. "Just relax, okay? I'm not going anywhere and you could use the rest."

[fumoffu_fmp]

Normally, he would have protested that his cot was fine, but he didn't think she'd let him get away with it, so he decided it was better to just do what she said.

[whisperedblue]

Kaname waited a couple minutes until she was sure he intended on following her orders advice and then plodded over to her desk to poke around mindlessly on her laptop for a bit. Truth be told, after all of that, she was exhausted.

[fumoffu_fmp]

He closed his eyes, listening to her moving around the room. While most people would probably have drifted off completely, Sousuke was a tad more stubborn, even subconsciously. So, while he wasn't asleep, he was loosing track of where he was very quickly, and muttering to himself in Persian as all attempts at coherency failed him utterly.

[whisperedblue]

Sousuke muttering to himself in what she could only perceive as gibberish made Kaname glance over her should once or twice. When he showed no signs of stopping, it was eventually even enough to get the tired girl on her feet and over to the bed to peer down at him curiously.

Idiot. Kind of cute lying there all sacked out like that. Still an idiot though. Her idiot.

[fumoffu_fmp]

He opened his eyes, looked up at her for a moment, and then fixed her with what could only be described as an incredibly dopey smile.

And then he grabbed hold of her arm and tugged at it in an insistent manner.

[whisperedblue]

"Sousuke! What the-?!" Kaname never got the chance to finish that sentence as she yelped, then tumbled rather ungracefully onto the bed and on top of the boy. Somehow she managed to avoid landing on his wounded shoulder. Thank god for small miracles.

[fumoffu_fmp]

Apparently, that was what he wanted, because he stopped talking and started hugging.

Affectionate... who knew?
