3rd Smoke ☢ [Audio to Video]

Oct 25, 2011 20:01

Y'know, I've done a lot of dumbfuck ideas in my twenty-sumthin' years, but this? This is startin' to feel like one of the most retarded. Someone remind me again why the hell I'm doin' this?

[The audio was short, Badou sounded fine, other than being a little annoyed with himself. A few hours later the audio cuts back in to the sound of rustling ( Read more... )

[BADOU WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE NAOTO A FUCKING HEART ATTACK?]

[She was wondering where he was today. Not that she kept tabs on him. They (read as Badou, Heine, Nill, and herself) were settling into the new place. Without their possession entirely filling the space, it was pretty much empty. So if someone wasn't around, well, it just felt emptier than usual. Nill was there, yeah, but--]

[Something didn't feel right.]

[She was about to put up an inquiry on the network when she came across Badou's... whatever the hell he was doing. She only saw the video part and he was just laying there on the ground, bleeding, hurt...]

[They were supposed to look out for each other but this--]

[Did this mean she failed to protect him before anything started?]

[She heard something come from him, so on instinct, she called out his name. Please please reply. All Naoto could do was look at his form, bleeding, not moving and no... he couldn't die here. No... They were supposed to look out for each other, keep each other alive. Just--]

[Panic set in when he didn't reply fast enough. She rushed out the door, case slung over her shoulder (the recovered one this time), and ran off to his location. Naoto was just going to do a lot of guessing, not knowing the underworld's layout too well.]

[Twenty minutes later (which felt like twenty hours and not quick enough), Naoto finally reached him. When he was in her sights, she dropped her case and pulled out her sword, just in case she needed to fight. But everything was silent and there was no impending danger, she knelt down next to him.]

[Her expressions were mixed with fear and panic. She couldn't lose him, not him too.]

Badou... Answer me!

[It took him a moment, a good long moment before he moved or even attempted to talk. To the sound of her voice he cracked a misty teal eye open, his eye patch was half way around the back of his head and that deep scar lay flush over his right closed eyelid.]

U-Ugh~...N-

[Raising his head, puffing out a breath then letting it flop back down to the asphalt. He coughed, moving a hand over his chest and pushing that spider limb aside. Trying to raise his hand to his face, to bring his cigarette to his lips.]

N-Naoto, no need to... shout, ugh..ow~

Badou! Don't--

[She leaned over him and oh gosh please be okay.]

What are you doing... What are you trying to do to me!?

What the hell is wrong with you??

[She took the cig from his fingers]

This isn't the time to be smoking!

[Closing that eye of his now. Geeze Naoto, personal space, you ever heard of it?]

H-hey! what's gotten into you all of a sudden? I'm not tryin' to do shit to you...

[Groaning and letting his hand fall back to his side, not even seeming too bothered that she took his cigarette from him.]

...I fucked up huh?

[A worn out smile was offered to her over bloodied lips and a bust nose.]

[Shut up. You don't understand how worried she is. She is trying to regain her composure, trying not to cry in front of him.]

Why did you go off on your own? I swear you're--

['trying to drive her crazy']

How badly are you hurt?

[Sure, he gets that she's worried, the promised to look out for one another, so of course she's going to be concerned. What he might struggle to understand though, is the extent of her worry and why.]

On my own? ... I- Ugh... I didn't think it would be sucha big deal. Huh, what?

[Finish your words Naoto :/ ...out loud would be helpful.]

Ah, I think its jus' my back.

[Sniffing up heavily through his nose, turning his head aside and spitting out some blood and dust.]

Superficial elsewhere, just knocked me funny for a moment, musta hit my face when I fell.

[No. She's not going to finish that.]

Let me see your back.

[Groaning, he rolled over, managed to pull himself up and leant forwards, showing his back to her.

There was a few deep gashes there, clearly from whatever he'd encountered in that forest. More than likely the pissed over oversized spider he'd taken the leg off of. A few bite marks where its fangs had tried to get a good munch on him. But other than that, and the few long bloody scratches that went from his shoulders down past the waist of his jeans where blood seeped through the back of his legs, there was nothing else.]

Howsit lookin'? Am I gonna live?

[Of course he passed a slight joke, he wouldn't have been Badou if he didn't. Clearly in pain still he winced and tried to push himself to his feet.]

[She smacked the back of his head. This wasn't the time to be joking!!]

[His own shirt was going to prove to be useless so Naoto tore off the bottom half of her shirt and pressed it against his back to stop the blood flow. Thankfully it wasn't like her gun shot wound, so applying pressure would help here.]

O-OI!! What the FUCK Naoto!!

[Ducking down, the movement only made his wounds bleed out a little more. Hands rubbing his head where she'd whacked him. Sure, she didn't do it all that hard, but he was still tender okay.]

Way to go and look after a possible concussion Florence!

[He froze as he heard the tearing of fabric and felt her press something against his back. It smarted a bit. Turning his head around over his shoulder to look at her.]

Its not too bad, is it?

[Tone serious this time.]

I don't understand that reference. Stop talking.

[She kept the pressure on as he spoke again]

You'll be fine...I hope.

Don't scare me like that...

Nightingale?... Florence Nightingale, no? Ah, she was some British chick, believed God told her to be a nurse or some shit..

[So in other words, he was either mocking you or still making jokes after you'd told him not to.]

I...

[Nah, not gonna talk, she said to stop so he will.]

[She let up in the pressure to check his wounds and thankfully the blood flow stopped. She released a sigh she didn't realize she was holding before she rested her forehead on his shoulder.]

Don't do that again... I can't lose anyone else.

[Her voice was quiet and barely above a whisper.]

[Badou only just heard her from how close she was sitting all up behind him, otherwise he would have missed her words for sure.

He blinked, then once more as he felt her slight weight press up against his back.]

Naoto?

[Shuffling around, just enough to wrap his arm around her middle, a small wince at how twisting like that was pulling on his wounds. He managed to get himself side on to her, bringing his other hand up, rubbing the blood off of it onto his jeans before patting her back softly in an awkward kind of side-on-hug.]

I'm sorry, I didn't think.
