Sleep [Cloud]

[Ri]

It was the first time Ri waited in front of the infirmary office to ask for something that had never crossed her mind once. In new clothes--white shirt and shorts--she rocked her head from side to side as she waited for the doctor's appearance. And after a few minutes of patience burning, Ri went away happily back to her room where surprisingly, Cloud was.

Yes, she requested to personally take care of Cloud and to place him in her room.

Risha was smiling as she held roll of bandages in her arms. Her ashen hair swayed with the air as she turned to a corner and went to her room where she expected to see Tetsuya lying on her bed.

"How are you, Cloud-kun?" She beamed as she placed the bandages on the table. It was already night and so she turned the lamp on as she prepared a towel soaked in warm water. After squeezing enough water out, she cleaned Cloud's neck before placing a bandage.

OOC: block.

[Cloud Tetsuya]

Cloud was fast asleep in Ri's bed. It felt like he was sleeping on clouds. Just then his fox ears twitches and he whinches slighty as he turns and faces Ri enter the room. He felt bad having her take care of him. But its not like he had any choise. It was either her or having Mr. Morte and he always likes standing over people while they sleep. That kinda freaked out Cloud a bit. He smiles slighty and he says "I'm good. Im sorry that im a bother for you. But next time I will protect you. " He smiles and he whinches from pain as you clean his neck. The bite marks where still there and he just smiles trying not to make Ri feel bad for what happend eariler.

He looks out the window and he closes his eyes as he uses his sence of smell and he smells kindness in the room. he turns back to Ri after she finishes cleaning his neck and he says.
"Im sorry. For not being able to protect you..." He closes his eyees and sighs as he remembers you screaming his name.

"I'm good. Im sorry that im a bother for you. But next time I will protect you. "

Risha continued dabbing Cloud's neck with the towel, squeezing it above the pan of water when it got too much blood. Her grimace was slightly lightened because of his smile that feigned perfect condition. She knew better--it somehow hurt.

"Im sorry. For not being able to protect you..."

Risha stopped, her arm making a nice torniquet move of the towel. She froze in the spot, reminded of the thugs and the bloody mess both of them went through. For some reason, she didn't like hearing him say "protect you". It was sad.

Protection was sweet, kind and all positive, all right. However, the fact that the survival of one meant the existence of pain for the other hurt her more than physical injuries did. It was quite childish to think that the world was in balance and anyone musn't suffer but she wished it anyway. But she knew it was not reality.

"Cloud-kun," she started, dabbing his arm now with another towel, "I don't want anyone dying for me." She wrapped his arm with bandages maneuvered by delicate white fingers. "But thank you." She smiled anyway, finishing with the roll. She paused, her gray eyes boring sadly into Cloud's. "Thank you."

Ri continued wrapping her other arm before crossing her arms over his stomach with tenderness. She placed her chin on her arms and then asked, "you wish for anything?"

[Cloud Tetsuya]

Cloud feels Ri resting on his stomich and he blushes a bit and he smiles and moves one arm over to pet her head. And he listens to what she says and he rests his head back looking at her cieling and he says.
"I wish for a large ice cream sunday with bananas and penuts. " He laughs a bit and he whinces from pain and he says " Just kidding. No I wish for nothing right now....Because at my current moment in life I am complete and happy...and you shouldnt be thanking me. Because I should be thanking you because you saved my life. " He smiles countines petting her head. He wants to hug her but he cant because it was hard for him to move. So he closes his eyes and ask "What do you wish for?"

[Ri]

It was an ironic sight that a fox was apparently petting a girl's head. However, it mattered not. There was a sweet contact even if Risha called it friendship in her head.

"I wish for a large ice cream sunday with bananas and peanuts." Ri tried memorizing the words. She was so childlike in believing his treat wishes. She wanted to stand to rush to the canteen before it closes but then Tetsuya laughed so lightly and charmingly that she stopped.

"Just kidding. No I wish for nothing right now....Because at my current moment in life I am complete and happy...and you shouldn't be thanking me. Because I should be thanking you because you saved my life. "

Debating about who saed who was not appropriate at the moment, she thought. She'd let Cloud have his way tonight.

"What do you wish for?"

In thought, Ri sat up on the bed and looked at the wall with no clear emotion in her eyes. Her gray eyes looked black in the darkness. The lamp made Cloud's blonde hair shine orange.

Only one thing crossed her mind at the moment she laid her eyes on her friend. "I wish to lose my Alice." She was serious and it dawned on her seconds after that she should be actually making Cloud happier, not sadder.

"Don't mind me, Cloud-kun." She beamed. "I wish for you to sleep here beside me." It was as innocent as it was and the vampire in her that was born of lust could only laugh.

[Cloud Tetsuya]

Cloud blushed a bit, but it was kinda intesting because that was something he wished for in his head. But was to ashamed to say anything to her about it. He moves over slighty and whincing and he sits up and holds her hand. And he says "Remember before I said anything you want I would do it. " He smiles and his ears purk up and he pulls her over and he says in a soft kind voice "Your wish is my command." He pulls her over and hugs gently. His warm arms brining her in his kind embrace.

His tail was long enough where it wrapped around her leg and held them close together. And he just lays down with her and hugs letting his fox ears listen to her heart beat.

OoC: XD must resist perverted inpulse

[Ri]

Finally, she could get rid of the nostalgia torturing her. She had a friend with her, finally.

Cloud sat up and took her hand. "Remember before I said anything you want I would do it. " Cloud-kun's too good to me. Risha thought.

"Your wish is my command."

Something different was with the feeling of having a man hold her and embrace her. She blushed hard, suddenly astonished with the warmness of the friction of their skin. When her head hit Cloud's chest, she felt his tail cover her legs and it brought them closer that when she shifted her head, she felt his warm breath against her supple flesh. She repositioned herself so that Cloud's ears were against her chest--that she wasn't aware of until she felt them twitch.

Being held close hit something in her head. She was getting older and the innocence of having the opposite sex breathing incredibly close to her was wavering.

"...no." She whispered, flushing the thoughts behind her head as she closed her eyes and embraced Cloud back.

Is this thread finished? LOL.
