[Atsushi hurries on over, just like he promised. He was prepared for Diva being injured and bandaged, of course, but it still hurts him to see it. Fortunately he's pretty sure he can help, one way or the other.]

Diva-chan! How are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot?

[He is so full of concern right now.]

_{[It doesn't take long for Atsushi to find her, which honestly she finds impressive. Sure, she had told him where she was (a general location but a location none the less) and the station was only so big, but still here he is, hurrying her way, concerned about her.

He's sweet.

She's currently lounging on one of the couches, lazily sucking a straw that's stuck in a fake blood Capris Sun-esque pouch. Out the straw comes with a soft, wet sound as she stares up at him quietly. She's looking pretty simple today, nothing elegant, her hair down and a white cotton gown hanging off her shoulders. What sticks out though are the bandages that wrap her limbs, like a mummy.]}

Hey Atsushi...I'm tired and hungry.

_{[Which shouldn't be surprising, since her body has gone into overdrive to heal her.]}

They're sore, more than anything.

[After hearing what happened to her, he's happy to see her up and about, but seeing her hurt, no matter how minor or major it is, feels like a stab through his heart. It's not even that she seems to be in pain, but she's so... dim? Compared to her usual, bright self, it almost seems like she's a black-and-white copy.

But his feelings aren't what's important here. He takes a breath to focus.]

Then, should I try healing you? Or would you prefer to just eat?

_{[She does look pretty pathetic, especially with the way she's slumped on the lounge sofa. At least she sits up straighter when he approaches. Finished with her blood pack she moves to toss it into a nearby trashcan from where she's sitting and actually makes the shot. Nice.]}

Maybe try your magic spell first? If I eat right away I might fall asleep again.

_{[Everyone gets a little tired after they eat and Diva's no exception.]}

[As expected of Diva-chan. Always so impressive.]

All right.

[Atsushi gives her a gentle smile at that plan of action, and takes a seat next to her. He probably doesn't have to hover his hands over all the affected areas, but that does make it easier to focus, so that's what he does, light shining dimly from his palms as he moves them down along Diva's arms.]

_{[It's incredibly strange, to suddenly see Atsushi's palms glow as they hover over her limbs. She can already feel a difference as the flesh beneath the bandages begins to heal, cells regenerating and forming new skin that had been eaten away by the dragon's curse. It doesn't hurt but there is a certain heat that comes from it. The light feels warm, like concentrated sunlight.]}

I think it's working...

[For what it's worth: it's still strange for him, as well. He's gotten used to getting the healing magic going, at least, so it's pretty smooth these days.

He also kinda just resurrected someone before being beamed up, so this is no big deal by comparison.

At a certain point, there's a feeling of not accomplishing more, and he can only presume he's either done, or he's made enough progress to be close enough to that.]

There. Shall we check how far we got?

[Time to get rid of the bandages!]

_{[She just watches in awe as he continues to heal her, somewhat mesmerized by the light that he keeps emitting. It's only when he pulls his hands away that she seems to snap out of her daze, suddenly nervous at the prospect of having her bandages peeled off.]}

...What if it's gross still? You'll be disgusted.

_[Yep.]

[Just grabbing hold of the end of the bandages on one of her arms, he stops and looks up at her.]

Why would I be disgusted? An injury is an injury, right?

If anything, I'm more worried about it being painful.

But it's ugly.

_{[Okay, so maybe she's being a bit dramatic and living up to her name right now, but her concern is real and shows on her face. She's scared of being rejected, even though the rational side of her knows Atsushi never would over something like this.]}

We won't know that until we see it, right?

Besides, you could never be ugly.

I think others would disagree.

_{[She was pretty ugly planetside, when she was slaughtering people left and right, hair and nails caked with blood and bits of unfortunate individuals.

But she relents, letting him peel without stopping him. What he'll see when he pulls off the bandages is skin that's red and tender. It still looks uncomfortable, much like a sunburn would, but the rotting has disappeared, flesh has filled out and it's clear to see that her own regenerative abilities have been given the boost they need to work their magic.]}

Oh...! It looks a lot better.

Then they need to invest in a pair of glasses~

[Oh look, he made a funny. (Somebody please stop him from trying to be funny, he is the actual worst....)

Her skin definitely doesn't look as bad as she described it, but it's still painful-looking, and Atsushi's expression turns uncomfortable as he sees it.]

Better or not, it's not good yet, is it? Maybe I should give it another go...?

_{[She doesn't like seeing him wear that sort of expression, especially when she knows she's responsible for it. It makes her feel self conscious and it shows as she moves to stick her unbandaged arm between her legs.

No one said Diva wasn't a little vain.]}

It's okay...you've done enough. I think I'll be able to heal the rest.

[If she'd rather heal herself from then on, that's her decision, and he's going to accept it.]

At least have something to eat, then, okay? You're going to need your energy.

[He offers her his neck without a second thought.]

_{[Even though this isn't the first time he's offered himself to her to feed on she suddenly feels a little weird about it. He's always so ready to help her, isn't he? That's a good thing...so why does she feel uncomfortable about it?

That discomfort doesn't last for long, however, as her hunger grows exponentially at the sight of his bared neck. Clumsily she climbs into his lap, wanting to be close as she first nuzzles into the crook of his neck before sinking her teeth into his flesh. It's a fluid, swift movement, the taste of fresh blood making her sigh with relief. After having drunk the shitty fake stuff that was provided on the station there's no comparison.

It's hard not to get carried away, to get lost in the physicality of the act itself. Atsushi's more than just some faceless dinner, after all. She can't get too carried away...but god is it hard to not be.]}

[He should have really been prepared for her climbing into his lap, but it's still a little weird - more so now than before, somehow. But, even if it's weird, he does it willingly and gladly. He's just happy to help out in any way he can.

He should probably hold her, but this does feel kind of weird, so he fists his hands in his pants instead, trying not to do anything weird. What if she hurts him and he squeezes back hard by accident? He definitely can't risk that.]

_{[If he did hold her instead of keeping his hands to himself it'd probably soothe her into slowing her feeding to something less voracious. A little voice in her head after a few moments says she probably should pull back and so she does so, extracting her fangs with a small sigh. He's still bleeding and so she gives him an apologetic lick, a silent apology, much like an animal would.

There's blood still around her mouth, some of it smeared on her cheek when she looks at him, hands settled on his shoulders, eyes half lidded. Atsushi probably won't appreciate the taste of his own blood but that's what he's going to get as she leans in to kiss him softly, lips pliant.]}

[It's probably best that she stops when she does. Atsushi isn't that great about realizing his limits, let alone sticking to them, so he wouldn't have said anything until he was about to pass out.

He's not afraid of her, and yet... he's still a little relieved when she pulls back, no matter how willingly he'd give her anything he has. Maybe he's just worried about her hurting him for her sake.

Any kiss is amazing, but his heart still skips a beat when she starts kissing him like that, and he tastes himself on her lips. It seems like it should be a bad thing, and yet kissing her is only ever a good thing, which is why his heart keeps racing even after that initial freak-out, surely in spite of rather than because of tasting his own blood.]

_{[He had tasted so good in comparison to the synthetic garbage she'd been consuming it had been incredibly difficult to pull away. She had managed to do so in the end, but had taken a lot of restraint on her part not to simply drink him dry.

If she could read his mind and knew just how worried he was about hurting her she'd scold him for being, in her opinion, ridiculous. She may look delicate, her frame thin and petite, but she's far more resilient than most. The racing beat of Atsushi's heart reaches her ears, the sound exciting in its own way as she relaxes into the kiss. He's so eager to accept anything she gives him...but she can't help but wonder if he'd ever want anything from her himself.

There's a lick she gives his lips once she pulls back, to clean off whatever blood she might have transferred. She could eat more (she always could eat more) but for now this is enough. He's done a lot for her. More than most would.]}

You're so good to me.

[This is what he wants for himself, though: what he wants is to be able to help others, and give them what he can that way. It's what makes him happy, or at least keeps him from being unhappy.

Wanting anything for himself has long since been beaten out of him.

His eyes are a little glassy when the kiss breaks, which is probably just the effect that kissing has on him, though the blood loss almost certainly doesn't help. Ah... She's so pretty.]

I'm really not doing that much, you know. If anything, I'd like to do more.

_{[Just how much of one's self could a person give away to another until there was nothing left? It's a thought that always seems to creep into her mind whenever she spends time with Atsushi. He always aimed to please, more so than most. For someone that was human he was pretty willing to give her whatever she asked for, which struck her as odd in of itself. Not that she's complaining - she likes getting her way - but even she isn't so selfish that she can't think that he may have wants or desires too.

Reaching down she finds where he's dug his fingers into his pants, prying them free with her own, only to lift his hands to place them on her hips instead. Right now she wants to be coddled and held. She's vulnerable right now, after all, but that's okay. He'd seen her at her lowest not that long ago. As far as she's concerned she has nothing to hide from him.

Once she's settled his hands against her she sets her own back against his shoulders, letting her chest rest easily on his own. She can feel the rhythm of his heart against hers like this, as sensitive as she is, and it soothes her.]}

What would you like to do more of, exactly?

[Oh, right... That does feel better. He enjoys holding her, and after the more intense moments of, well, being eaten, he can relax just fine, even if he needs this reminder.

She's soft and warm, with a scent all her own. (He's ignoring the blood, okay?!) Holding her gently in his arms is its own reward. Connecting with another person this way - this equally, no matter how you look at it - is still very new to him.]

Helping you.. I guess?

[Is that the right answer? It feels like a trick question, somehow.]

Like I said, I know I'm not doing much, but if there's anything else I can help with, then definitely -...

Edited 2018-07-21 10:22 (UTC)

_{[Anything else he can help with, huh?

When Atsushi trails off Diva doesn't bother to fill the silence that follows and settles between them. She's too busy studying his features, the slope of his nose and the two-toned color of his irises. He's cute, desirable in his own way. If he was a normal human being she'd have turned him by now and made him hers forever.

But Atsushi isn't normal by any means, which makes him all the more charming as far as she's concerned. His mortality is a bit annoying to consider, but who knows? Maybe there'd be a fix to that in the future...]}

You're quite helpful, Atsushi, but I mean it more like...

_{[She shifts a bit in his lap, making herself more comfortable.]}

What do you want to do? What do you want to experience? _{[Her hand slips down from his shoulder, only so she can press a finger against his chest.]}

For you. It's okay to be greedy, you know!

[Maybe it makes sense for her to tell him this... No - it definitely makes sense; even he can only acknowledge that. But believing it? That's something else - and without believing it, there's only so much he can do.

He can be stubborn, and that's daring enough. Being selfish? That's borderline impossible, beyond the occasional childish insistence.]

Even if you say that... I'm really happy like this!

[He looks at her with slightly wide eyes, his hands now comfortably resting on her hips.]

What I want is to help people in any way I can. On top of that: I really enjoy spending time with you.
