✚ - Bandaging their wound (fireflycrow)
“Where’s your first aid?” he asked her.
“In the bathroom in the cupboard... you know, you don’t have to do this. I’ll be fine, this is n-nothing.”
“Just sit down, or else we will have to go to the hospital.”
And sit down, she did. The last thing she needed was another visit to the hospital citing a run-in with a scumbag.
“I don’t want to hear any crap from you, okay? You can leave once I’m bandaged.”
The thief watched as the young man attentively cleansed the cut.
While on her way home, as luck would always have it, Alice overheard something disturbing coming from an alleyway across the street. And goddammit, of course, it would be Tsukishima... again! Pinned against the side wall of a shop with some punk holding him at knifepoint as he demanded the young man hand over his bag and wallet.
“Hey, asshole, look here!” the young woman shouted as her body twirled, delivering a roundhouse kick right in the man’s face. Nose bloodied, the man refused to back off without a fight. Sure, Alice didn’t walk away unscathed, but the other guy was much worse. Tsukishima, always looking and sounding inconvenienced by people’s mere existence, insisted they continue their walk together... just in case the mugger came back... and to help Alice get patched up.
Since she lived closer, Alice leads Tsukishima to her tiny apartment, and there the two found themselves.
