Murasaki | Nice | 057

[secondplaced]

[Living the sort of life they do, growing accustomed to shocks and struggles is only natural. There are only so many things, after a time, that can really give them pause, and being in danger is just such a constant part of life that that's hardly reason for concern either.

And yet, Murasaki is pretty sure that when he grasped that sight of Nice bleeding on the floor, Art above him with his gun pointed--well, he's pretty sure that at that moment, his heart stopped.

Of course, they got out of that scrape, as they always do (somehow, and honestly, someday that utter faith of Nice's is going to get him killed, but Murasaki doesn't want to think about that), but sitting in a visitor's chair (it's uncomfortable, a foldable chair, and he doesn't like it) in the hospital, it doesn't really feel like they succeeded at all.

He sighs, shoulders slumping a little, and even if he's talking to himself--]

Honestly... you're always going to leave me with the jobs you don't want to do, huh...

[Honestly... what would he have done if he'd been too late?]

[Nice fights back another sigh when he sees that cue that Murasaki's on his way out. It's not that he normally cared whether he was alone or not, but he doesn't know who he'll whine at talk to now if he's by himself. The walls?

Or he'll just drive himself crazy about the reason why he's here in the first place.

But he doesn't show whatever he's thinking this time, because he doesn't!! care!! that much or anything!!!]

You better. I'm gonna die of boredom in here if you guys don't think of something to bring me.

[Instead he'll just keep acting like a huffy brat.]

[Wow Nice, tsun harder. He's rather not alienate the hospital staff by going way over the visiting limit when they (hope) want to have Nice in there for awhile longer.

So he just waves a hand over his shoulder as he heads to the door. Huff away, of course he'll be back.]

If you get too bored, try counting the cracks in the ceiling.

[Don't be a dick, Murasaki.

At least he'll remember to tell the nurse that he's hungry, though. And to tell Three to bring his most Shoujo manga possible.

But that might just be him being a dick again.]

[He'll take that as a challenge, Murasaki. He'll tell you just how many cracks there are the next time you come in here.

But as Murasaki heads to the door, and his back is turned to him, Nice's expression falls and he shifts in the bed as best as he could. He bites his lower lip in an effort not to make a noise and bring Murasaki back, and when the pain passes (somewhat), he exhales quietly. Back to his thoughts, he supposes...

...This really wasn't going to be easy to deal with, was it?]
