I don't spare him a response until I finally have him sitting on the bench. I kneel in front of him, nudging his hand enough until I can catch a glimpse of the sickening gash. Only then I look up at him with pursed lips. I lean towards his ear to get my words across the rumble of the rain.

"Scratches don't make you keel over." I say offhandedly, and the man can only assume the urgency of the situation has locked my focus as my hands shrug off my soaked jacket to tie it roughly around his middle. We're drenched from the rain, and I can only haphazardly comb my hair back from my face even when his blood still sit on my palms. I grab his arms to force him to pay attention.

"You have someone to call?" I make my voice firm. "Else, I'm bringing you to a hospital myself. No questions."

He didn't sense any cursed energy on her to begin with and the mention of a basic public hospital confirmed his theory that she's just a normal civilian who doesn't know shit. Toji practically pushes past her to rise to his feet again. "No hospitals." He takes a few unsteady steps, grabbing on to the jacket tied around him and yanks it off, gripping it tightly before he threw it back at her. "Get lost."

[invisiblemanfushiguro]

By the time you wake, stitched up and shirtless, he's already digging in your fridge looking for something to eat as if he wasn't just bleeding out literally hours ago.

[her-invertedspear]

I find myself wake on the couch instead, blinking the sleep out of my eyes as I try to squint at him. I guess he had some heart at all, adjusting for me to sleep better after he woke. I think of fussing over him casually walking all over without resting, but something tells me near-death experiences don't phase him anymore.

"Morning to you, too," I yawn, stretching as I swing my legs over to sit up. "Thought you would've bolted out the door before I woke. There's some stew in the pot on the stove if you haven't had it yet. Heat it up and help yourself."

[🌙 anon has been me! :)]

I purse my lips at his dismissal. With one hand gripping my jacket and the other snatching his wrist, the extent of the damage only becomes more obvious when he can only wince as he attempts to stalk off.

His stubbornness makes me want to roll my eyes with the urgency of it all. While I'm not necessarily mad--only concerned--I decide to match his energy to get my point across.

"Hey, you fuck," I snap. "Listen here. It's real clear you're in some shady shit, but leaving you out to probably die isn't a good plan on my end either. So God help me; tell me what your plan is so I can at least help you, if not bring you to the hospital."

He snaps his head back at her with a sharp glare. She's crossing lines. "For starters brat. To get out of the damn rain. And secondly, kick my feet up while this inconveniently heals." He yanks his wrist back from her weak grip. Even in his condition she's no match to his strength. Toji starts walking again, silently wincing with each step, cause yeah it damn hurts. "Doesn't concern you. Go home." He doesn't necessary look back hearing the click of her heels on the pavement trail behind him shortly after.

[her-invertedspear]

I blink roughly through the rain as I trail behind him.

"Just—!" I splutter and run fast enough in front of him to stop his tracks. My hands cover my head so I can meet his eyes without my sight blurring over. His gash only looks worse—there's more blood seeping through, so much so the rain doesn't seem to dilute it fast enough. His whole hand is stained red as pools of the stuff gushes, and it looks a mess. He already looks ten times more exhausted.

"Fine! No hospitals, I'm sorry! Just– Just wait a bit!" I yell. "The bus driver that comes by this hour usually just drives me to where I need since no one else is at this hour. I'll ask him to get us back to my place—seriously, it's like five minutes away!—and I'll patch you up the best I can. I live alone and everything! Okay? Come on..."

[invisiblemanfushiguro]

He stops instead of bulldozing right through her and hears her out as his soaked hair clings down to his face. He weighs his options; five minutes is a rather shorter distance than across town where he usually crashes. Toji huffs unamused but survival instincts are kicked in. "Tch. If you got somewhere that's only five minutes then fine. I'll play nice for now." He continues walking with a bad limp. If it were anyone else they'd be unconscious on the ground by now. "Lead the way."

[her-invertedspear]

I'm about to argue about the bus again, before I think about having to explain a mystery man bleeding out to my usual driver. I grapple with myself for a second, before giving up.

After re-wrapping my jacket around his gash, he slings an arm around me as we hobble in the finally-dying rain. I lead him the way.

In the quiet of the night, with only the remaining patters of what's left of the weather, I peer up at him curiously as we trudge. He's rugged with sharp features, a scar on his lip. He's handsome, really; so it jolts me when he suddenly turns his green eyes to stare back. I look back forward.

I sigh, regaining myself as we near my apartment building. "What's your name?"

[invisiblemanfushiguro]

'This brat for wanting to get all formal'. "Toji."

Inside the apartment he pulls away from you and moves across the living space as though he owned the place himself. Shoes on still and not giving a damn about the possibility of getting blood on anything he slumps down on your couch. A low pained groan escapes him getting comfortable on his back. "This'll do." Toji's body is wearing thin; the only thing keeping him awake is the sheer will of not wanting to fall asleep in front of some stranger and show that kind of vulnerability. He looks up at her. "What's yours? Your name," he finally asks since he didn't bother before.

[her-invertedspear]

I don't seem to mind his blood and rainwater soaking my couch. It's a little run-down apartment, enough for a barely surviving fresh graduate. I fuss to the kitchen, grabbing water in a pail, several towels, and a first-aid kit all while ignoring my own soaked trail as I walk.

I get on my knees in front of him. "Luna," I murmur, hands untying the jacket before I toss it aside. He lazily observes me as I lift his shirt—my own blood drains from my face. It's nasty; too deep for me to settle with my conscious by just wrapping it alone.

My hands shake a little before I make them into fists. "I'll... do some stitches, Toji. Okay?" I mutter, meeting his eyes. He doesn't respond, simply staring. I furrow my brows before I look down to where his gaze lands.

I smack his knee, face warming. I tug my soaked blouse away from my chest. In all the panic, the way how my white blouse exposes me was the last thing on my mind. "Hey, stranger!" I yell, looking away. "Trying to save your life here! Eyes up!"

[invisiblemanfushiguro]

Toji tilts his head back against the armrest of the couch, closing his eyes as his vision begins to disorients and darken from the blood loss. "I ain't focusing on shit.." he slurs. "Do what you must." His battle on fighting consciousness is a losing one. Your tits are the last thing on his mind although you do smell rather nice. Fuck that sorcerer that did this number on him this time, but at least he got his bounty. It was worth the millions in the end.

[her-invertedspear]

My eyes soften, and I sigh. "Don't die on me here."

I turn back to his wound and gag. I don't do easy with blood and gore, and a part of me curses myself for trying to play the hero. I slap my own cheek harshly to get myself out of my head; I know no part of me would have been at ease anyway.

I cut his shirt off--it was ruined anyway. The stitching took a while, and Toji had long been passed out for the most part. It's 2am when I'm done; the work slightly messy but good enough. After painstakingly wrapping his middle, the reality of it all hit, and I puked for a good 15 minutes in my bathroom.

Even with shaky hands and watery eyes, my mind wouldn't rest.

I cleaned Toji the best I could, wiping him down with a warm cloth, then moving him to lay on my couch and covering him with a blanket. After showering myself, I even cooked--cleaned out the few leafy vegetables and beans I had to make a stew for Toji to eat later, because the internet said it would be good after losing blood. But what do I know?

It's nearing 4am when my mind finally kills its overdrive, with nothing left to do. My body aches with exhaustion, and my feet take me to the couch instead of the bed. My knees give out and I'm kneeling on the floor, head resting on my arm on the couch by his face. As I fall asleep studying his face, my mind swirls tiredly--it really has been long since I've been this motivated to do anything. The dull fear and anxiety of letting a stranger likely involved in shady business into my house makes my stomach churn, but oddly enough, I welcome it. Even if he bolts when he wakes, he gave me a quick jolt of purpose in this hollow life of mine. I guess for that, I'm thankful.

I welcome sleep with open arms instead of dread, for the first time in a while.
