@clanoftwoweek Day 5: Healing Together. Blurb by Azertyrobaz!
“I’m fine,” grumbled Din for the third time, but the kid was still not having it.
He’d removed his armor, and just wanted to lie down and sleep already.
“It can wait until tomorrow,” he added, seeing the little one climbing on top of the crates that he knew from experience held the medical supplies.
The cut on his face was still bleeding, and he’d stupidly burned his right hand as well, but this was nothing unusual and clearly not a matter of life and death.
“Grogu, come on, let’s go to bed,” he sighed. The kid was not budging, looking at him expectantly from his perch.
He lumbered towards him with a slow exhale.
“Alright,” he caved, getting the disinfectant and plasters. Sleep would come faster if he did what the child wanted him to do.
Grogu cooed in contentment and watched him work. When he was done with the cut on his face, he held out his own cheek, and Din placed a plaster there.
“Bah,” he approved.
“Your hand, too?” Din asked, his nerves finally settling after the recent fight.
Grogu’s eyes were full of warmth and affection as he held out his tiny arm. Din carefully wrapped gauze around his wrist.
“Now we’re both healed,” he said, and the child beamed with pride.
