you talk tough to me...
Day: 21
Characters: Doumeki [ghostrepellent] and Watanuki [isthis_hitsuzen]
Summary: Watanuki has a history of pretending he's fine when he's not, and Doumeki isn't falling for it. They meet in the showers so Doumeki can make sure his boyfriend friend object of protective instincts is alright.
DAY/NIGHT & Time: Shower time!
Status: Closed/Incomplete
After their conversations over the intercoms, Doumeki felt a small bit settled, though still rather unnerved. As much as he claimed to not think Watanuki was lying to him about how hurt he was, he knew that, though it wasn't lying, it was distinctly underestimating, downplaying so no one would bother to show concern, a move that generally convinced Doumeki that he had to pay attention. And so he had arranged to see the boy in the showers, because he wasn't sure if he was allowed to go from his new room to the boy's room, no matter how concerned he was. It was in a completely different area of the building.
The showers, however, seemed communal enough, and perhaps they could go somewhere...not to the rec room, he'd heard the announcement about what was there, but some other place that they could sit and talk. He was so on edge, had seen and heard so much suffering since he arrived, that he just wanted to be around the other boy for a while, even if they argued. He would know then, that Watanuki was safe, that he was normal. It would be a small taste of home. He was so hungry and tired, and felt filthy, blood on his clothing, his feet freezing against the cement of the floor.
He left his room when the doors unlocked so he could go to the showers, and walked there with his head low, his arms around his aching belly. He slipped into the communal shower area, familiar from when he'd helped Nami get cleaned up, and looked around, anticipating Watanuki's arrival. The boy had promised.
