And we smile, but never say too much; The moment always vanishing// [OPEN]

Who: Ichigo ([personal profile] suppressthedark)and YOU!
What: After his Hollow's little rampage, Ichigo finally wakes up and has to face what he's done.
When: Day 146.
Where: The hospital in Sigyn.
Rating: Uhhhh pg13?



[When he finally joined the rest of the living world, three days had slipped by. Three whole days and nights, laying silent and prone in the hospital room given to him, his body attempting to heal from the extremely traumatic ordeal it had been put through. The hollow hadn't given a damn about sleeping or eating, and the last fight that had made him stop...

...It had almost killed him, and he fears his life was bought with someone else's.

But for now, there's no one else in the room, at least no one he can see. Trying to turn his head only makes his still healing muscles complain, and when he lifts a hand (after accidentally trying to use the one with the ripped shoulder) to his neck, he can feel the new scar that's spread across his throat. No stitches, but then it hadn't needed it-it had been healed shut, anyway, but there was still tissue that needed to be regrown.

To that matter, he honestly would look like he'd been hit by a truck to anyone that actually saw him right now. That new scar at his neck, the blotchy purple bruising around his now mostly healed nose-and all over his back as well-the obvious stitches on his shoulder wound and the one near his neck, the wound running down all the way down and stopping just in front of his hips, and the myriad small wounds, cuts, and stabs he'd suffered. Add pale skin and large, heavy bags under his eyes to all of that, and you could say for certain that he feels as bad as he looks. Even worse, actually, since he was still weary to the bone and feeling no small amount of pain. But he doesn't feel like asking for anything to stop the pain, or even care that his body is going to be scarred up to all hell.

I deserve it, he thinks to himself.

Looking around the room, he can see some evidence of someone-or multiple someones-having been in his room at some point in time, although he'd be hard pressed to guess when. It's difficult even moving his eyes around in his head, and he'd really like nothing more than to go back to sleep and escape all of this, especially the guilt that's practically choking him, but it doesn't seem like he'll be able to go back to sleep so easily for a while. So-what else can he do?-he decides to just wait, closing his eyes with a sigh before opening them again miserably.

Patience never was his strong point.]

[ 'Your chart says you haven't been conscious that long.'

'I wasn't around for you to see.'

'I'm not staying.'

Perfectly good answers to a perfectly wrong situation. He nods, taking entirely too long with an otherwise peace-loving mobile table, before setting it up on Ichigo's lap and abandoning the trey there. ]


Rice gruel.

[ Because the very unfortunate white mass in that one bowl apparently had to be introduced as if it were his firstborn.

...a pathetic, family-shaming, tasteless firstborn.

Nervous laughter - ]


...it's fine if you don't eat most of it.

[ Somehow, he can't help staring from the little bowl, its spoon, and Ichigo's bounty in bandages. Surely... the patient'll manage... somehow... ]

Actually... actually, they know you probably can't stomach it yet. But most people find soup too depressing.
extradite: (sweet dreams)

[ There is only so far he can discreetly turn his head, so long he can pretend not to notice when this overly redhaired fellow is very much in motion and very much there. It's nothing to do with Shinji. Nothing at all. Embarrassing. This is all very -

Very likely to have him mutter, in an end. ]


...the bowl. Pick up the bowl instead.

[ But personal experience isn't the most transferable commodity, and soon enough he finds himself on the left side of the bed, open hand hovering near Ichigo's with an almost paranoid precaution to avoid brushing fingers when beckoning for the spoon. ]

It's usually a mother who does this sort of thing.
extradite: (oh oh oh snack?)

sooooobbbbbbbb they're like water and oil, with a lot of shifty-eyeing.

[ Feeding another human being is - difficult. Much, much more difficult than he'd thought, with too many gestures needed in sync: the fall of the spoon to recover more gruel and the slow tilts of Ichigo's back; the rise of the spoon and the opening of Ichigo's mouth; the pulling of the spoon and Ichigo's teeth clamping down; the lowering of the spoon and Shinji's reward of a heavy breath of air for surviving another stage in the process.

...so many small steps to overthink. So little time. Thank everything he seems to be actually decent enough at it to avoid spills. ]


Don't thank me. I'm feeding you - gruel. Thank the persons who'll be making you a nice curry, or... teriyaki... tofu stews...

[ ...and now his stomach growls. ]

The persons waiting for you will ready a better lunch.

You're my first.

[ And people do always remember their firsts.

Though, in all fairness, everything today ranked as a 'first' of some kind. ]


You're my last, too. I don't work here. [ And now to look away almost cautiously. ] You should learn how to do it on your own. I don't know who'll have you after.
extradite: (emergency)

[ Wince. ]

...sorry.

[ Here, have the flying spoon deliver more questionable goodiness in compensation. ]

It's fine. Your chart doesn't say anything about crippling damage.

[ So you're only meant for horrifying pain in the meanwhile, Ichigo! ]
extradite: (please pet me)

[ He whiles a moment, looking at the bowl as if he actually has the medical capacity to say whether the amount gone eaten sufficed. Then he nods, removing the spoon, the trey with it.

He somehow finds the sense not to stare at the throat scar for more than a few minutes. ]


It's bothersome when people ask about it, isn't it? Whether it hurts.

[ Have a ~ reassuring ~ smile. ]

You're in luck. The cold season's starting. You can hide it with a turtleneck.
extradite: (razzle...dazzle... me.)

[personal profile] extradite 2012-09-27 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And mumbled forever - ]

...that's the annoying part.

[ But enough personal experience. Now is the far better time for a good deal of friendly staring. ]

Do you need anything? I suppose I should - more medicine, or...? Sorry. I should know what to ask you.
extradite: (boombox)

[personal profile] extradite 2012-09-28 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ And a little bit of blinking - ]

Do you know the names of all your carers?


[ No bite to it, strangely. He doesn't know the names of all of his. ]
extradite: (collar)

I. Although my heart is tender and frail, I shall find it in me to. To forgive you.

[personal profile] extradite 2012-09-28 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The people here actually adapt to using that little device consistently. It startles him enough to stare at Ichigo's bracelet for a few seconds, then, nodding slowly - ]

...it's fine. Ikari. Shinji. How do you d - not well. You don't do well.
extradite: (wait wait wait)

[personal profile] extradite 2012-09-29 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Why would you be used to it?

[ A wide-eyed, stricken look, and this time the gawking calls on enough of his resources that he even casts the trey aside completely. ]

You're not... terminally ill, are you? It didn't say that you - it was your chart, wasn't it? Kurosaki Ichigo?
extradite: (so about that)

[personal profile] extradite 2012-10-02 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, son.

Oh, snap. ]



...you don't start them. Any of them.
extradite: (stand up comedy?!)

[personal profile] extradite 2012-10-04 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Will the staring ever end. ]

Like... a fairy tale hero. You're a fairy tale hero.
extradite: (denied)

[personal profile] extradite 2012-10-09 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...just so they're clear - ]

That's exactly what a fairytale hero would say, isn't it? Selfless... kind... that's how they are.
