[Day 190] I work until it's late [CLOSED]

[hellpyre]

Who: A dumbass teenage couple Bon and Rinchan
Open: Closed
When: Day 190
Where: Tower Apartments
What: So Bon went a little trigger happy yesterday with a Bazooka courtesy of the other Okumura. Guess who gets frequent migraines even without repeated concussive explosions? Guess who has a migraine today? And guess who gets to take care of him?
Format: Action
Warnings: Again, Rin is a warning unto herself. Also for Yukio's sake: likely chance of non violent face contact.

[Rin getting up before Bon was a fairly common thing anymore, if only because her duties at the kitchen usually required some degree of "being awake before most everyone else". She hadn't quite mastered Yukio's skill at only functioning on four hours of sleep, but she had managed to drop down from her usual 11-12 to something closer to 6. Zulf had been busy with mapping with Zayna (and probably dealing with a good deal of his own grief given what was happening with those locations) and Mireielle was spending most of her time with her newborn, so Rin had silently taken up the slack in the kitchen.

Not exactly the best way to spend a whole lot of time with one's boyfriend, but she justified it by saying that it "kept her out of trouble".

Ironic, considering just the day before Bon and Yukio had decided target practice with high explosives in the Dragonfield was a good idea.

Rin had let them go about it after a bit of yelling, but as she was about to find out, Bon wound up paying for it not in injury but in a massive migraine.

Of course Rin didn't know this when she had gotten up before him and gone to work. It wasn't until later when she realized he hadn't come down for breakfast that she hurried back to the apartment after cleaning up.

The apartment was quiet, as quiet as if no one was home, but she hadn't seen him anywhere else on her way there. Moving towards the slightly cracked door of the bedroom, she peeked her head in and called out.]

Ryuuji?

Comments

[Bon was pretty smart, and if he weren't hurting in the head he would have said a smart response there. Something about how it looks horrible because of the pain it represented, not because of how it physically looked.

But he wasn't quite as smart when he was in pain like this, so his answer is not quite so smart either.]

A little? But not like...unbearably horrible. It's more of a reminder, and that's the horrible part.

[hellpyre]

[Maybe not the most eloquent thing for him to say, but she gets what he's trying to say and even smiles sadly back at him for it.]

It is... I hate lookin' at it. I won't even wear my tanktops anymore 'cause it shows so much...

[kyotoprincess]

That's a shame, I like seeing you in tanktops, scars or not.

[That's a little more eloquent on his part, and a lot more honest and truthful.]

[hellpyre]

[Uwhoh, Rin's tail is thumping against the bed at that.]

Oh? Do you?

[kyotoprincess]

[ He'said smiling a bit more now. ]

Yep. They make you look cute.

[hellpyre]

[Geez Bon get her tail wagging more.]

Well if that's the case, I could wear them more. If you really want me to.

[kyotoprincess]

[He likes it when she does that, it's a genuine show of emotion from her. ]

Only if you're comfortable with it.

[hellpyre]

[A noisy one, though. It's thudding against the bed pretty hard.]

Well... I don't like the scar, but I can't hide from it forever, right? And you like it...

[kyotoprincess]

And given our chosen field of work, I bet we're both going to end up with a lot of scars eventually.

[Even if they're in the Bastion, and demons are few and far between, they're still exorcists.]

[hellpyre]

[Skyway creatures seem to be taking the place of demons just fine. Even to the extent that some of them aren't nearly as bad as others...]

Yeah, but guys look sexy with scars. ... not that you... need any to--... I'm just gonna shut up now.

[kyotoprincess]

[...that compliment.

It's a little embarrassing, and it's making Bon blush, because being called 'sexy' by the girl he likes makes him both happy and awkward.

The rest, though, he can comment on.]

Why can't girls be sexy with scars?

[hellpyre]

[YES SHE JUST CALLED YOU SEXY BON god take the compliment.]

Have you ever seen a girl with scars that looked good? Or wasn't like... totally some evil chick in a movie or manga or whatever?

[kyotoprincess]

[HE'S TRYING he's just never seen himself as 'sexy' before.]

Of course I have. She's sharing a bed with me right now.

[And that's his way of calling Rin 'sexy' in return. Because he is not to great at actually saying what he means, when it comes to lovey-dovey stuff.]

[hellpyre]

[Boy have you seen your abs? C'mon.

But now it's her turn to blush brightly, and after a second of staring at him (because did he really just say that? Ohgod he did) she just lets out a squeak and shoves her face in to Bon's chest, tail thudding against the bed even louder now.]

[kyotoprincess]

[Now that is just adorable, and Bon can't help but chuckle at it, though it probably sounds like a low rumble to Rin, since her face is right up against his chest.]

What? It's true.

[hellpyre]

[It does, but some how that's better than hearing him laugh out right.]

D-don't say things like that so bluntly!

[Wow Rin you're actually behaving like a girl holy crap.

She gets over it in about three seconds, though her face stays right where it is because wow she's still blushing a lot.]

I... mean... i-it's not like anyone can hear you in here, but... no one's ever said anythin' like that to me before.

I kinda like it...

[kyotoprincess]

What, so you can call me sexy, but I can't call you beautiful?

[He's still got that light, teasing tone to his voice. He's clearly not upset by this, he's just rolling with what Rin is saying right now.]

[hellpyre]

[She's actually making that "hnnnnnn!" noise against his chest. God, Bon, you broke the poor girl.]

I-I didn't say that--!

[kyotoprincess]

You implied it.

[Oh god he broke Rin, why is it so adorable? He'll just pet her hair some, trying to calm her down.]

And you're nothing if not honest with your words.

[hellpyre]

[whoops she might be purring again.

It gets her tail to calm down at least, even if her face is still horribly red.]

Mnnn... I know that! I just-- ... I don't know what to say to it...

[She wasn't kidding when no one had ever said that to her. So many saw her as a troubled teen, a "violent punk" who was more likely to crack you in the face over actually talking to you.

It was the cram school class that brought out the side of her that wasn't so rough and terrible, if only because like them, she was "different" and she had found kindred spirits in them.

Having some one legitimately find her attractive was overloading her poor brain.]

Y'could... maybe... say it more... ?

[kyotoprincess]

You mean, say that you're beautiful, you're kind, and you're one of the most amazing people I know?

[He might be stating it again because he likes seeing Rin all embarrassed like this. It makes her seem like a girl, rather than 'tough survivor who has to survive the Skyway and be tough all the time'. It's something normal, which is what Bon has been missing from his life.

Maybe it's the pain meds that Yukio gave him which are making him more loose with his words too. Normally he wouldn't be able to say this without sounding angry or frustrated, because he really is a strange guy like that.]

Yeah, I think I can do that.

[hellpyre]

[They're both strange.

But Rin likes hearing it just as much as he's liking saying it apparently. Her tail goes again, and she's back to making embarrassed noises that aren't entirely embarrassed because damn it she actually wants to hear things like that!

Just as it makes her seem more like a normal girl to Bon, it makes her feel like one, too. And that's a rare treat for her indeed.

It takes her a second to get some semblance of calm back long enough to mutter something back in return.]

W-well... I think you're really amazin', too. And pretty damn hot...

[kyotoprincess]

[He had a feeling she was going to say that, but he still feels a bit warm in the face when he hears it. Compliments like that are not ones he usually gets, so it's new to him too.

But he likes it. He likes how normal it is, to care about someone and be cared for in return.]

Yeah, well, I guess we go together pretty well then, huh?

[hellpyre]

[That pulled her out of hiding, face still red but a big dopey smile to go with it.]

Yeah. I think we do.

[Perfect moment to cuddle up more and drape her tail over him.]

Y'feelin' any better?

[kyotoprincess]

Much better, thank you.

[It still hurts, but it's a manageable pain. He's learned to work with small levels of pain, since headaches and migraines are a constant problem for him.]

...I'm not so sure I want to get up, though. The light might make it come back.

[His hand might be moving down a bit to play with the fur on Rin's tail. That always seems to make her content.]
