Down, but Not Out

[colony_brat]

[Duo's been quiet for a while. He's been minding his own business and sitting in the clinic. He's been too tired and weak to do much besides healing and eating very small amounts of bland food. At least the clinic is full of nice people who help him. He's also been sticking close to the blinded Hijiri. He's worried about his lover and doing everything he can to watches out for him.

Still, it's time for him to return to their house. He's sick of being in the clinic. His hands are too sore to write.]

[Voice]

Can someone help Hijiri and I get back to our house? I'm sick a bein' here, nice as Kam and everyone is. Just don't like clinics.

Also, I need to talk to the followin' people 'fore somethin' else happens to me. Don't know if ya guys are still 'round.

Allen, Haine, Leto, Sasarai, Uriko, and Val. Also, can you come check on me, Kam? Need ta talk to ya too.

Mmmm... I don't know 'bout that~ Touchin' you's way better than just lookin'~ [There's rustling as Duo gets dressed himself.]

[akumanotrill]

[starts figuring out this shirt, is successful so far but the buttoning part is kind of tricky...] But once you start touching, you get bad, bad ideas~

[colony_brat]

[Duo's not sure if he should help, but maybe a clue would be alright.] Start at either end, find the bottom and do the buttons up or start with the collar. Ya should be able ta feel both button and hole. And what's wrong with my bad, bad ideas~? Ya seem to like 'em.

[akumanotrill]

The bottom? [and does as Duo's suggests and does better with the buttoning even if he still ends up getting one wrong] Well, you're in no condition to be thinking of bad, bad ideas right now~

[colony_brat]

[Duo looks him over.] Ya missed 5. Go back down 'til ya feel the one ya missed. But if thinkin's all I can do, why shouldn't I think 'bout naughty things with my devil? They make such great dreams after all.

[akumanotrill]

I did? [runs his hands over the front of his own chest slowly, searching] Ah. I did. [and fixes it] Hm... I guess I can't stop you from thinking or dreaming.

[colony_brat]

[Duo nods, even if it can't be seen. It's mostly for himself as a way of noting that Hijiri got it right.] All handsome and dressed again. What a shame~

[Duo sits down on the bed. The change in the direction of his voice, the slight rustle of clothes, and the creak of the bed.]

[akumanotrill]

Mn? My being handsome is a shame~?

[walks slowly back over to the bed, counting the steps then bends down a bit to feel it when his leg bumps against the side of the bed and sits down] Everything is all set then?

[colony_brat]

Yeah~ It's a shame it's hidden up by those clothes now~ Ah well, I can still see you're handsome face so it's not so bad.

Didn't really come here with much so yeah, should all be good. [Duo puts an arm around Hijiri's waist, needing the contact.] Just gotta wait for Sheik.

[akumanotrill]

It doesn't really get hidden by clothes for too long~

[leans against Duo, reaches out to hold his hand]

[colony_brat]

Not when I have anythin' ta say 'bout it~

[Duo curls his fingers happily with Hijiri's. They might both be beaten and a little broken, but he's happy just to have Hijiri back.]

[akumanotrill]

True~ True~

[and stays happily like this as they wait for Sheik]
