♟:Patching up a wound
"Honestly, Shadow, what am I going to do with you?" she asked, wiping her brow with the back of her hand. He had been bitten pretty badly in his fight, the wound not being to her as she tried to clean it and patch it up before infection could strike.
"You're doing a great job so far..." he teased, wincing as she applied more alcohol to the marks. "Damn."
Rolling her eyes, Tifa cast some restorative magic in order to dull the pain enough for her to continue her work. "Sometimes, I wonder if you get yourself hurt on purpose so I can nurse you back to health," she retorted, trying her best not to have her gaze linger on his bare chest anymore than necessary.
"What can I say, Tifa? You're the best nurse around," he said with a knowing smirk. Tifa could only blush and lightly smack his bruised arm arm, grinning to herself as she cursed under his breath.
"Smartass," the barmaid teased as she finished her handiwork. "There you go, all patched up. Now take it easy for the next couple of days, will you?"
"What, no required bed rest?" Shadow asked, pouting. Tifa leaned over and kissed his cheek, chuckling. "Come on...I'm wounded and may need more help..." He waggled his brows, making her all out laugh now.
"Please. You're just fine." She said, getting on her feet. "But if you promise not to go off into another fight...maybe I'll help you with a bath later."
"Best. Nurse. Ever," he replied, reaching over to grab her waist, his lips kissing her stomach through her shirt. Tifa could only sigh, ruffling his hair. At least he was alright.
