wound : my muse patches and bandages a wound your muse has gotten. // from sakura ( in her 'warrior' verse ) !!
a frown . a small hiss of discontent . a tension of sinew at the gentle touches . the wound along his shoulder blade WEEPS RED &. reveals STARK WHITE beneath torn ligaments . he didn’t want to show her . he still doesn’t . hands curl into fists &. teeth clench with the rising FEELINGS OF FAILURE . a cool cloth presses against sliced flesh . he grumbles lowly , “ o u c h ! —— are you purposely making it hurt more ? ”
his ears buzz from weariness &. dehydration . green eyes begin to glaze over as trauma sets in . he misses shirohana’s response . he doesn’t miss the tip of a needle being pushed into already aching skin , however . reality returns as the FOG OF NEARING UNCONSCIOUSNESS dissipates . he hangs his head with another groan . this time he bites back a sharp response ; his tongue aches from the way his teeth clamp over it . it’s enough of a distraction . by the end , the soldier is left PANTING SHALLOWLY as pain ripples sharply from the freshly sewn wound . yuichiro hates , hates , hates this !
the press of the young woman’s forehead against his shoulder not wounded from the skirmish draws his attention from the aching flesh . TEARS . her tears . guilt gnaws at his heart . his fault . it’s his fault for being reckless , &. his fault for being hurt . it doesn’t matter that he saved one of their comrades . he still made her cry . cool fingers seek out the warmth of her hand ; he presses her’s against HIS HEART , &. murmurs more roughly than he intends “ i’m still alive . see ? you don’t have to cry . . . i’m sorry for scaring you again . ”
