[RL with Yuan: Merry Christmas~]

Dec 26, 2008 23:39

Overall, Jacky had been to Grand Chokmah a few times in the past to visit. But ever since Yuan had wound up in the hospital, first for miasma poisoning and then for his attempted suicide, Jacky had come more frequently. Not so much since he had awoken, though. Yuan had made it painfully clear that he wanted little to do with her or Kratos. Not that ( Read more... )

The past several days had been exceedingly stressful for Yuan, what with the rescue mission and everything else that had happened to Tieria and the others. As much as he'd tried to deny it, he'd been worried about them. Tieria had aided him on more than one occasion in the past and proven himself to be a trustworthy, intelligent person-- something that was all too rare around this community, at least in Yuan's mind. That was why, when Yuan had received that note with the portion addressed to him, it had been like a punch to the gut.

The ensuing rescue mission (which he had assisted with) had taken a lot out of him. Though he hadn't said a word to anyone about where he had gone, it was clear that it had affected his health greatly. Most of the time since he returned had been spent sleeping... which was what he was currently doing while he awaited Jacky's visit.

He hadn't meant to fall asleep, really. He'd simply shut his eyes to rest them for a few moments. But the nest he'd made for himself in the blankets was so warm, and he ( ... )

When Jacky got no response from Yuan she suspected he might be sleeping. To confirm her suspicions she gently pushed the door open and peeked inside. There he was, curled up inside his blankets sleeping so peacefully. She prayed he was having good dreams for once, though she suspected otherwise after what he had posted about. She wasn't the only one with troubled sleep. None of them were. None of them could sleep well anymore, it seemed ( ... )

Somewhere deep in Yuan's mind, beyond the nightmares that constantly haunted his sleep, the soft touch on his cheek registered and his eyes slowly fluttered open to see a slim figure standing beside his bed.

Jacky. So she'd come to see him after all. A part of him had had his doubts as to whether she would actually visit after everything that had happened between the three of them lately; things certainly hadn't been all sunshine and roses and Yuan knew quite well that most of that was his fault. He'd done that on purpose, after all. It was for their own good... or so he'd convinced himself.

"You could at least say hello," he remarked, pushing himself up to a sitting position and brushing his hair out of his face. It wouldn't do to look tired in front of her; she'd just start worrying over him, which would annoy him, which would anger her, and then things would likely escalate to a fight.

At the sound of Yuan's voice, Jacky stopped in the door. She turned and offered him a gentle smile as she leaned against the frame of the door. She was ready to leave should he choose to be rid of her again. She wouldn't protest this time. She was tired of fighting with him all the time anymore... she missed him the way he used to be ( ... )

"Not when I have visitors." He kept his voice and face neutral to avoid giving her the wrong idea... it wasn't that he wanted her to be there. Of course not. Being around her and Kratos was still far too painful for him at this point, and there was little doubt that it was awkward for them as well. He hadn't planned on being alive after they had read that letter ( ... )

Yuan didn't sound agitated or upset, yet, and Jacky could tell he was at least trying. She didn't let the comment bother her. She wouldn't have anyways... it was only around Yuan that she got so defensive. The pair had been fighting since the first time they met, almost literally. Jacky vaguely remembered when Kratos brought her to the base after her battle. Even then she had snapped at Yuan. She wondered why they fought so much when she could get along with others so nicely? Hell... Shuraiya was her brother now, and he wanted to kill all pirates in general. Where did she go so wrong with Yuan ( ... )
