Fuda # 4 [Action/video] Failure is the only option
[OOC: Pretend I posted this days ago! D: Tsuzuki had a little run-in with River earlier. Being him, he thought he'd limp stagger walk the injuries off on the way home. He's still kind of dazed about all of it, really. It might just be the blood-loss speaking.]
[The feed comes on by accident, showing a very quiet shinigami. He's carrying one wing under his arm as if it was a newspaper, and his shirt is no longer white. Tsuzuki winces as he bends down to untie his shoes, but he'd determined to be as quiet as he can about going inside.]

Sir Tsuzuki, what happened? You're wounded...
[Voice]
It's nothing to worry about. I just... uhm.

[OOC: Here is the link to that doujinshi I made the icons from! It's only the first twelve pages of it (the actual doujinshi is 24 pages but I'm too lazy to scan my copy XD), but you can see how gorgeous the art is. ♥]
[Voice]
[ooc: sadjdfgj THANK YOU. ♥ It really is pretty.]
[Voice]
[There's a slightly stern note to his voice now.]
[OOC: You're welcome! amarans has such gorgeous art that I had to buy that one as soon as I saw it.]
[Voice]
[ooc: Lucky you. :D I would've bought it myself, if I had found it. Am such a fan of good art.]

[Action] ahaha THOSE TAGS ilu <3
Tsuzuki-- TSUZUKI what the hell did you get yourself into?? [Brb being a spazz and forgetting everything he knows about healing charms.]
[Action] ilu too <3 The world needs more knife-jokes
I -Hisoka, calm down. Nothing seriously bad happened. [He'd put his hands on Hisoka's shoulder, but suddenly remembers the wing he's carrying.]
[Action] They were knife PUNS. I love you more.
[Action] Never. :|
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Tsuzuki complies, resting slightly more on Hisoka as they walk back. It was more necessary than he'd like to admit, since by walking home with a amputee wound made him bleed like a champion. It gives Tsuzuki time to think.] ...I wonder why she attacked.
[Action]
[Action] when do you have to leave for work?
Hisoka, I'm sorry.
[Action] I need to leave in 5 minutes to get there on time, BUT that's not going to happen. XD
[Action] Haha, just checking. XD
[Action] Maaan I totally should've just stayed home. XD
[Action] You work too much! *ties you to a chair*
[Still, he can't shake the feeling that everything that happened is his fault. Tsuzuki's mind plays a rerun of it, starting with his worry that River was a bloody victim, not a perpetrator, and stopping when he notices River's eyes being blank instead of filled with murderous intent.] Hisoka, I don't think she was completely sane. Maybe you should try to avoid her.
[Action] Nah, it was just an intensely bad day. XD
Sane or not, she's going to pay for what she did. [He says it naturally, without much fury at all. Nobody did this to Tsuzuki without retribution.]
[Action] Oh no, why? What happened, Jess? *hugs*
[The tone of voice is enough to make Tsuzuki try to look Hisoka in the eye. If she's indeed not well in the head, his protective instinct reels at the idea of having Hisoka near her.] Hisoka--
[Action] Oh, nothing big! Just grumbly. XD I have all my limbs intact!
[He avoids eye contact, primarily because he's trying not to hear Tsuzuki's thoughts more loudly than he has to.] No. She won't get away with it.
[Action] Grumbly over what? Having all your limbs is a great way to start/end the day!
[Tsuzuki's fingers touch his partner's tenderly, as he gives up on making eye contact. He still thinks Hisoka's too young to focus on revenge. Still, he understands why, and is slightly touched by it.] Don't go out tonight, please.
[Action] Just the usual workstress was a little magnified yesterday. No big, I promise!
[But Hisoka's been focused on revenge for years now! This is nothing unusual.] If not tonight, then soon.
[Action] awww. Poor Jess. *glomps and bakes cookies*
[True, but Tsuzuki is bracing himself for the inevitable time when Hisoka's had his final revenge.] We really should look for the other victims.
[Action] :O I LOVE COOKIES.
[When that time comes, Tsuzuki will be there to pick up the broken pieces Hisoka will invariably shatter into. :D] ...You shouldn't be moving yet. [Selfish empath is selfish. He'll have time to regret his decisions later.]
[Action] I LOVE -BAKING- COOKIES: :D
[He definitely will be. :D Taking care of someone else is so selfish. ♥ Sadly, Tsuzuki knows how to screw up sweet moments.] Er, Hisoka. I think I got blood on your sheets. But if you want, you can sleep in my bed tonight.
[Action] WE ARE PERFECT FOR ONE ANOTHER.
[He's picking Tsuzuki over people who are potentially hurt worse, and who most likely need more help than Tsuzuki had required. That's plenty selfish.] ..It's just sheets. [There's a "you're more important" implied in that.]
[Action] LET'S GET MARRIED
[Tsuzuki notices, but like he'll he'd call Hisoka out on it. Instead he calms down further, a ghost of blush on his cheeks. He's grateful he gets to see this side of Hisoka occasionally. It makes it all worth it.]
[Action] ...I think you might have to fight a couple of people for that. :( I'm sharing custody.
[Action] I'm not surprised. XD Can I adopt instead? *ponders*
[With Hisoka's attention now off his wings, he tries to sit up, slowly. He's being completely honest for once, so his voice is hesitant.] Then why does it feel like I did something wrong?
[Action] Um... I'll ask Tai and Ty! :D also YOUR ICON IS BLINKING AT ME.
[Action] Yay! :D Ffff First time I saw it it did that I freaked.
I'm glad you weren't one of those she cut down. [With that said, Tsuzuki pulls back from the unconventional caress, and moves to lie down again.]
[Action] SO DID I. :O
[Action] Glad I wasn't the only one. :D
...Can we stay like this? Just for a little while.
[Action] Never! <33
[Action] <33
[Action] <33
[Action] <33 finding icons for this convo has been so HARD.
[Action] <33 RIGHT? I need to go back and cap like all of the Kyoto arc. xD
Hisoka leaves a hand interlaced with Tsuzuki's while the other returns to the good wing, stroking his fingers through the feathers and carefully straightening them. Tsuzuki needed someone to take a comb to his wings or something anyway.]
[Action] <33 haha, if you do, share. :P
His good wing arches up into Hisoka's touch as Tsuzuki's eyelids slide shut. He can understand why Hisoka likes having his wings touched, if it feels like this. That is the last real thought he forms before falling into a slumber in Hisoka's lap.
If he had paid more attention, he would have noticed that his other wing had stopped itching, but that would mean having to tell his partner and get up.]
[Action] <33 Like I need an excuse to buy that DVD set and finally ditch my VHSes
It's just that having Tsuzuki there, so close and so relaxed and so open, is starting to subtly affect Hisoka's pace. His petting slows significantly under the weight of Tsuzuki's drowsiness.]
[Action] <33 wouldn't you have to watch them in english dub to get good screenshots?
Still not entirely asleep, Tsuzuki's hand squeezes Hisoka's. He feels like home, and belonging, and everything would be okay if-
A door closes loudly in the building and Tsuzuki jolts awake. It takes him a few seconds to realize where he is, since it's not his bed, nor on the desk during lunch.]
Ah... 'Soka?
[Action] <33 Thus the need for DVDs! Multilanguage audio! :D Also the DA post got big, but you know-
[whssfhjkhgkldgiovWHAT'SGOINGON?? Hisoka jumps a half-second after Tsuzuki, frightened and jumpy without a clear source behind it.] --What?? Did something happen?
[Action] <33 but the English version makes me whimper.
[Tsuzuki rubs his eyes to wake up fully, then offers Hisoka a crooked smile. He feels much better already.] Not sure. I can go and take a look. [It's his knee-jerk reaction to offer comfort when his partner isn't calm, after all.]
[Action] <33 That's just because it's terrible. *patpat*
[Action] <33 Hisoka with a valley accent. I just. No.
I'm sorry. I'm better now, here!
[Tsuzuki offers Hisoka his hand, so he can feel his emotions. The hard shove was apparently forgotten as soon as he regained his balance again.]
[Action] <33 Ugh, agreed. >.<
[Action] <33 Now I want to watch it again. :3
[Action] <33 DO IT. :O
[Action] <33 I might end up quoting it and then you'll be sorry. :D
[Action] <33 You can't quote bad acting over text! I WIN. :D
[Action] <33 My flawless plan is ruined! :0
[So once Tsuzuki's checked the front door to make sure Mute Violent Girl wasn't coming to finish the job, he returns upstairs again. With a laundry basket, mind. He doesn't like the idea of leaving Hisoka to clean up alone.]
Knock, knock.
[Action]
[He sets down the bread he'd been cutting and goes to set a hand on Tsuzuki's shoulder to try and steer him to the bathroom. Sheik'll not have you bleeding all over the house.]
[Action]
Sorry, Sheik.
[Action]
far too muchpersonal experience that when those wings are damaged, they bleed a lot. So unless Tsuzuki objects, that's what Sheik will be tending to.][Action]
[Nevertheless, the remaining wing tucks close to his body with nervousness. Tsuzuki doesn't know what Sheik's thinking about doing. The result is that he's as quiet as Sheik.]
[Action]
[Action]
Are you a healer?
[Action]
Re: [Action]
[Tsuzuki, who previously has stroked the feathers on his cut off wing, offered the feathered lump to Sheik.] Is there anything to be done with this?
[Action]
[Off with the shirt, now. He should get that cleaned up and bandaged now.]
[Action]
That was my favorite tie. [He says it offhandedly and indignantly, taking off his black tie that's been cut cleanly in half. He puts it down on the sink, before taking off his shirt.]
[Action]
[Action]
[He sits as still as he can, while Sheik takes care of him. It's not easy. Tsuzuki wants to help, somehow, but he's run out of ideas. He bows his head.]
Thank you for doing this, Sheik.
[Action]
[There, all done. Any other things he can help patch up?]
[Action]
Can I have that roll of bandages?

[Action]
Hijiri, you are not going to do anything stupid. [Tsuzuki gently ushers him towards the door.]
[Action]
[is pushed] I'm not going to do anything stupid.
[Action]
[Getting Hijiri inside without getting blood on him is kind of hard. Tsuzuki ends up using the hand holding his wing in to push him in the door.] I know you're not. I'm just making sure I know where everyone is.
[Action]
[he just wants to kill this girl, whoever she is. That's not stupid at all, anyway he lets himself be ushered back inside]
[Action]
[If Tsuzuki knew that was what Hijiri thought, he'd be touched. -Before he'd worry that Hijiri would try to find her. In any case, the closest sink is in the kitchen, so that's where Tsuzuki's heading.
He pulls his ruined tie loose.]
Do you know if there are mind-controllers in the city?
[Action]
[Action]
Hijiri? Can you do me a favor?
[Action]
Anything.
[Action]
[There is no way to say this in a polite manner, so Tsuzuki simply tries to say it quickly.] Could you please hold my wing in place, so it can heal against the wound?
[Action]
Huh? Oh, sure. [holds out his hand for the wing]
[Action] (1/2)
[Action] (2/2)
[He picks up the wing and hands it to Hijiri. Tsuzuki almost pulls it back to dust the dirt and dust off of it, but he resists, turning his back to the teenager.]
Sorry about the blood. I'll clean it up once I've showered.
[Action]
Ah, don't worry about the blood. [holds the wing against where it's been torn off] Is this alright? And... doesn't it hurt? Mine hurt like hell when I broke them!
[Action]
Maybe I can ask her why she did it once I healed.
[Action]
Maybe...
[Action]
Maybe?
[Action]
I still don't think it'll be safe. There are a lot of psychos here.
[Action]
That's probably true. I don't know, I just want to make sure.
[Action]
well, I don't want you going to look for her alone... bring Hisoka with you or something.
[Action]
I'll ask him. Though, when we have to deal with violent people it always makes me worry about him.
[Action]
Hmm... that could be a problem... take Duo with you instead?
[Action]
If I did, I'd make sure he was shielded at all times.
[Action]
Well, I'm sure Duo can take care of himself just fine.
[Action]
Most likely, but... I don't want to put your boyfriend in any danger, Hijiri.
Re: [Action]
He's used to danger. He's always boasting about it anyway.
[Action]
He seems like a great boy. I don't want to introduce him to anything that would make his less extroverted.
[Action]
There's no need to worry about him. He'll be fine.
[Action]
That won't stop me from worrying about him. He won't heal as quickly as I do, if something happens.
[Action]
I guess... well, thank you for looking out for him, Tsuzuki!
[Action]
You're welcome. It's the least I could hypothetically do.
