4th Goal

[whatpenguin]

Characters: Genda and anyone who stumbles across him
Setting: Infirmary and beyond!!
Format: Action is preferred
Summary: Genda finally revives after a sad and gruesome death.
Warnings: Mentions of death, mostly. Will add if there's more.

[Genda can hardly register the fact that he's awake, having never been told about the tower's non permanent death - and once he's able to move, he shoots up and hops right off the bed, despite being a little woozy.
... The infirmary. He had passed out, last he remembers... They probably found him and healed him up, huh? Not that he knows that's not the case; he's actually far from aware of his own death.
But that means - is Feferi okay...? She was covered in burns, and when the monsters picked her up, they --

No, he has to sit back down. He feels sick to his stomach, remembering it all. Now would probably be the best time to find him, though - he needs it!]

Comments

[whatpenguin]

Shh - it's okay. I'm all right -- we're all right, and that's what matters now.

[He'll hold her as close as she needs then, one arm holding her tight and the other hand being used to brush a little hair from her face.]

Let's... never do something like that again, okay? I don't think I'd be able to do that a second time, I really don't.

... But I'm so glad you're all right. I was so worried - I woke up here, and you weren't around. I thought they had found me and resuscitated me, but you -

[No, he can't continue that sentence. He just shakes his head a bit.]

... I'm just so relieved you're okay.

[cullscuttlefish]

You're right. We're okay, and that's what matters. That's all that matters.

[She looks up when he brushes her hair off her face. It's then she realizes her goggles aren't on. Feferi can't say she minds, though. It just means they're a little closer.]

No. I - I don't ever want to go through anything like that again. During that moment where I was awake but I couldn't move, all I could think of was what might have happened to you, whether you would even be here, and I...

[She swallows hard, making a little glubbing noise as she does.]

I was so scared you wouldn't be, I'm so relieved you are, I...

[Feferi looks up, her eyes meeting his, and she blushes. It feels like she's moving through some kind of dream as her chin tilts up, her eyes close, and she lightly kisses him on the lips.

Maybe it's not an ideal situation for a first kiss, being in the infirmary like this. But for all her idealism, more often than not, she lets her heart lead, and her heart is telling her this is the right time.]

[whatpenguin]

[The kiss takes him by surprise - he's never been kissed before, like this - but he tries his hardest not to show it; just blinking once or twice, before... trying to return it.
He's hardly ever seen kisses in movies, so she'll have to be okay with a light, innocent little kiss in return.

But, the one good thing about his naivete in this, is he doesn't realize this is an awkward place for a first kiss -]

... I... love you, Feferi.
I really, really do.

[cullscuttlefish]

[She's more than okay with it. When she pulls back, there's a bright smile on her face. Her eyes still look a little dreamy, but not in a bad way; Feferi's clearly happy.]

I love you, too, Koujirou.

[Feferi's not going to get into the complicated mess that is troll romance. This is flushed on both sides, that much is clear, so why get into the rest?]

I love you so much.

[whatpenguin]

[Hopefully she doesn't mind him pulling her close once more - because at this point, he feels they both definitely need it.

After a moment, though, he does realize there's a bit of seriousness he needs to bring up;]

Now that we're here with everyone else, let's try not to get too far from the group, okay?

At least until we're sure everything's safe again.

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi is more than happy to be pulled close, and she settles into that place she's found she likes the best, between his neck and shoulder.]

No, I agree. I don't want to get too far from anyone else right now. Not till we're absolutely sure it's - well, as safe as this place can be.
