Leave a “Nurse Me” in my ask, and I’ll write a drabble about my character healing yours.
Ever since Winnie swore off talking, she’d learned to scold people through looks. Raises of the eyebrows, quirk of the lips, squinting of the eyes— she’d mastered expressions over time.
And Shanta was well aware of what the look she was receiving now meant.
More frowning as the shorter of the two tugs as a bandage around Shanta’s arm to make sure it’s secure. Of course, Shanta was sitting down so Winnie could reach better, still in her Chemibomb uniform.
"Yes, I know, it was a dumb move, but Price wasn’t moving his dumb butt like he was told to, and—”
Winnie cleared her throat loudly, which was honestly the first noise Shanta had heard the girl make in a while, which stopped her mid-rant to glance over in her direction.
Part of her had been hoping Winnie would say something, but all she got was a shake of the head and another band-aid taped across a small cut. She had five other band-aids on, each with a different superhero on them. They were the only kind Winnie bought.
"Y’know, one of these days I’ll get you to talk, m’dear," Shanta hummed, and Winnie glanced at her hesitantly, as though she were really hoping to prove that statement wrong. "Just wait, I’ll do something so dumb that you’ll have no choice but to march right over and—”
Shanta never got a chance to finish her declaration, because the next thing she knew there was a cookie in her mouth, and had a puppy in her lap.
She'd get around to it, though.
