π₯"Like I said, I-I'm the flame of Togarashi town for a reason, I-I'll be. . . I'll be. . . *sniff* f-fine. . ."
*Yeah no, despite her best attempts to hide it. . . she's not exactly happy about this, looking away from Jason to hide her forming tears.*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
"And we are...done"
After a few moments, he pulls his hand away, taking the stinging sensation with it. Again, he wrapped her arm, with fresh bandages, of course.
"Should heal up in about a week...you sure you're okay?"
*Clearly the negative thoughts plus the unpleasant feelings were starting to get to her. . . though she tries to hide it*
π₯"M-Mmm. . ."
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
"You do that, it's only gonna make it worse."
His thumbs run softly over some of her skin, ensuring her arm is relaxed before he applies whatever mixture of chemicals he believes will help.
It's not nearly as bad as she thought it'd be, but it still by no means a pleasant experience.
π₯"Oh boy. . ."
("I can take it, I can take it, I can take it. . .")
*She closes her eyes and tenses up. . .*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
Before long, they're on his couch. A first aid kit lays open in the space between them, from which several wipes and bottles have been pulled.
He's careful as he unwraps her arm, being sure not to catch or pull any of the sensitive flesh.
"This next part is gonna suck."
π₯"O-Okay. . ."
*She takes his hand, her being practically dragged into the house by him*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
He practically flew out of the driver seat as they stopped. The engine had barely cooled down by the time he was at the passenger side door, opening it for her. His hand appeared almost as quickly, offering to help her up.
"C'mon"
π₯". . ."
*She stayed silent for most of the ride, again lost in thought. . . Though she WAS impressed by how fast they made it to his house*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
"Just making sure."
As he settled into the driver seat, he let out a deep sigh, relaxing just slightly now that Spicy was at least patched up.
After turning the keys in the ignition, he sped out of the lot, shortening the drive to his house by at least five minutes.
π₯". . . N-No, I can do it myself."
*She sits down, buckling herself up.*
*She's. . . still mostly keeping her head down, clearly in thoughts unknown*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
He simply nods, not saying anything as he leads her to his car, opening the passenger side door for her once they're close enough.
"You don't need help getting buckled, do you?"
π₯"I. . . . . . Okay :("
*She's trying to hide something, does she have trust issues with people outside of a certain someone? Regardless, she takes his hand.*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
"It is -absolutely- a big deal. 'flesh wound' or not, it could get infected, or worse."
Rather quickly, he finishes the wrapping, and while the bleeding is stopped, the wound hasn't been properly cleaned.
"Damn...I don't have any of my cleaning stuff with me...can I ask you to come back to mine?"
π₯"I-It's. . . Just a flesh wound. . . I-It really isn't that big of a deal. . ."
*She's stuttering in her sentences, and while she does let them bandage her up, she's keeping her face away from him*
Shade and co. (βπ₯π€ποΏ½Μ·ΜΜ Μ₯ΜΊπΉπ€)
"You do not, look fine. Look at your arm!"
She was bleeding. It wasn't -too- bad, but it was certainly enough to arise significant concern.
Immediately, he moved to wrap it.
"You GOTTA be more careful."
π₯"Your lack of confidence is shocking, I-I knew I'd be fine, I'm the flame of Togarashi, I-I knew what I was doing, i-it wasn't the best executed but. . . I-I'm fine, see?"
*. . . Yeah, I don't think. . . You're fine Spicy. . .*
