from @slylie: “I’ll kill whoever that did this to you.”
SEBASTIAN GRABS THE DISH TOWEL that hangs from his stove’s handle and hurries it to his nose , trying desperately to avoid dripping blood throughout the apartment . of course loki would be here to see this . of course loki sees him in his worst state , beaten up , staggering home from a bad bar fight . he finds himself reaching for loki , clinging to them a little with his free hand as he tries to navigate through the london flat . ❝ i’m — — i’ll be fine , i promise . ❞ sebastian momentarily removes the towel from his nose and winces when the light grey rag comes away dark with blood . ❝ we . . . christ , we were meeting tonight . ❞ A DATE . ❝ i just went for one drink ; i was trying to get home before you got here . . . ❞ something tightens in his side ; sebastian cringes and feels his body balk at the pain . he grabs for the kitchen counter . ❝ FUCK . . . i’m sorry . ❞ his eyes find theirs , and for a moment he tries to focus his dizzied gaze on the shape of their eyes . something , anything that might calm him down . ❝ it was just some bastard at the bar . . . he was going after someone , and i stepped in . took a fist to the face and his friends jumped to help . ❞ a groan . after a moment , SEBASTIAN STANDS AGAIN . he clings to loki’s arm . ❝ i’m actually relieved you’re here . did — — didn’t you heal one of my wounds once ? COULD YOU DO THAT AGAIN ? ❞ a soft , pleading look . ❝ please ? ❞
