wake up, show appreciation [Closed]
Characters: Asch and Sheba
Setting: Sheba's dorm, backdate to the morning of the 20th
Format: why is this even here CLOSED
Summary: Sheba takes a while to get back to the party. Asch is a worrywart.
Warnings: Typical Animus warnings for talk of death and dead people. Possible Asch zappings.
[The day after she died, people started coming back. At first he was relieved, until he realized that she wasn't among them.
And the next day, too - he ducks into her room in the morning, but there's nothing, only her name on the door as the promise that she would return, someday.
The third day she's there. It's impossible to tell if she's awake or not, so he stands there for a long moment, just watching, feeling like something inside him got wrung out and drained. His shoulders are slumped, and he drops to his knees next to her bed.]
Took you long enough.
[And he leans forward and, briefly, squeezes his arms around her shoulders. And even knowing that she can probably read his mind - it's saying things that make them true, and he did promise, in an unspoken way, to always give her truth.]
I don't know what I would have done, if you hadn't come back.
[And with that whisper, he lets go, turning around and sinking down, until he's sitting on the floor with his back against the bed. He'll wait there - he can wait for a long, long time.]

Well, she could always ask Alex. But she's not sure she wants to open up that particular can of worms. Asking Alex for a favor was a surefire way to get a headache, and then the both of them would be in his debt, and that's not something she wants to subject Asch too, either.]
Of course, sorry. I just thought... [Her voice trails off and she sighs before continuing.] Without Felix here, she's one of the few people I can trust that knows how to heal. I wouldn't want someone I know to be a traitorous snake to be doing that... [She thinks about it for a few moments.] Maybe you could ask Xion or Yu?
no subject
[Well, she already knew about Tear, from the Tear before. He shrugs the shoulder that isn't damaged.]
It's fine. Either it'll heal, or I'll die before it matters.
[Morbid but true. A new body wouldn't have any trace of the injury.]
no subject
[Her voice is firm and her eyes are narrowed - not in a glare, just enough to show that she's serious.]
As soon as you can.
[She's not going to dignify the "I'll die before it matters" with a response. Just because death wasn't permanent didn't mean it wasn't traumatic, and given that she knows the time spent unable to move gets longer and longer with each death - and she knows what that sort of thing does to Asch - she won't just let him die.]
no subject
[He's godawful stubborn, though. At least the scars will be matching.]
no subject
[Honestly. Sheba just doesn't understand why he's content to leave the wound as it is, when it's possible to get it fixed up.]
You came here because you were worried about me, didn't you? ...I worry about you too. So, please... have someone fix it.
