[Mutant x Normal] [Ambiguous Quadrant] [Hospicull Visit] [Sopor Confessions] [Weak Highblood x Strong Midblood] [Yaoi] [ @tonightforever x @corvusternion ]
"Tch, you're always this shy?" Corvus said, his jade-tinted fingers brushing the fuchsiablood's eyepatch.
Raveri could only stutter, sweeps of knowing that his eyes were wrong, and here Corvus was, trying to reveal what has to be hidden. "W-w-w-what? Come on, you know this ship stuff is confusing..." he swallowed his words, trying to put on a braver front. "I'm not shy, I'm trying to stay alive."
The two were quiet for a moment. Corvus looked into Raveri's bright pink orbs, a debilitating mutation yet one that caught the light like vibrant gemstones. Those eyes contained a fear that Corvus could not ever comprehend, but he could help. Corvus knew he had to help this suffering outcast.
"I love you," Raveri said, pathetically, while still breaking the silence. He was looking away bashfully, trying to hide himself from judgement in the sterile, empty room. Living in a sort of delirium, he had only the jadeblood in front of him for comfort. Horrifying, this place was horrifying. He hated hospiculls. He hated the fear and confusion they brought.
The jadeblood, taken aback by the brash confession, couldn't help but laugh. "The sopor's really fucked you up, huh?" But still... Corvus held Raveri's hand. Jade and fuchsia fingers interlocking, even as the seadweller pouted.
"What if I mean it? What if I died here and you never knew..." The tiredness in those grublike eyes was easy to see, now. Soon, he'd probably pass out. The weakness in Raveri's hand made Corvus hold on a little tighter.
So Corvus sat on the side of the hospicull slab, the midblood warmth from his body comforting the seadweller. Raveri rested his head on Corvus' shoulder as the latter spoke. "You won't die, idiot..."
And as Raveri slipped back into that familiar unconsciousness, he swore he could hear a familiar "I love you, too."
