( THE MINOR INJURIES MEME )

pinched from here!

You or your meme partner has been hurt, but don't worry! This time around it's not that bad. You can still limp your way out of this mess.

→ WHAT HAPPENED.
1. Sprain/strain. How did you screw up walking?
2. Broken bones. Simple fractures still hurt!
3. Cuts. Hopefully one of you has a sewing kit.
4. Burns. Location, location, location. Let's pray this one isn't on your ass.
5. Concussion. No, they're most likely not holding up fifteen fingers.
6. Other. I'm not a doctor.

→ HOW'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Stupidity. You did this to yourself.
2. Accident. Is an unintentional attack still an attack?
3. Attack. Don't lie, you deserved it.
4. Other. It's probably still your own fault.

→ WHERE'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Home. Did you remember to invest in a first aid kit?
2. School/Work. This should be excellent for getting you out of doing stuff!
3. Outdoors. Predators like the smell of blood. Clean up asap.
4. In the water. Hopefully there aren't any sharks!
5. Other. Like a hospital. That'd be handy.

[ Blue raises a brow, giving Gansey a sort of assessing look. She then looks away as well, perhaps because she's realized what she said or maybe because she's trying to be kind to him. Or maybe it's neither. ] If you're not going to take both, then I'll have "ridiculous" back, please.

[ She blindly holds out a hand between them, like she's going to accept the word from him. ]

[ he looks down at her hand, then at his, as if he was actually holding the word. ]

They come as a set?

Yes, in this instance. [ She holds out her hand more insistently. ] Well?

Compromise: I'll take both if you take delightful and one of a kind. [ what was that about tip toeing? wha? ]

[ First, she blushes. Then, she adopts a thoughtful expression. ] I suppose I could, but only if I can add another to my side. Because 'ridiculous' isn't worth 'one-of-a-kind.'

Depends on the other. [ and he raises his eyebrows, like, let's see what you've got, nurse jane. ]

Let me think. [ She furrows her brow, clearly intent on coming up with something appropriate. ] Would you accept 'charming?'

[ thoughtful for a second, pressing fingers to his temple. better that than let it be obvious he's pretty pleased she thinks 'charming' applies. ] Hm. I'll take it if you take mine.

Just the two! My three for your two. Fair's fair. [ She sticks out her hand, like she wants to shake. Thankfully she's remembered which of his hands is hurt and has compensated. ]

You've got yourself a deal. [ and he shakes her hand, and looks at her, and really ideally would like to pull her in so he can kiss her, but alas. he gives her hand a squeeze instead and hopes she gets a sense of the sentiment. ]

[ She apparently does, because her cheeks turn just a bit red. How she'd like for things to be less complicated. How she'd like to just do what her heart urges. ] I'm glad we could come to an agreement.

Difficult not to, with such an incredible, one of a kind creature like you. [ bah, who needs to tip toe. ]

[ Not these two would-be lovebirds, that's for certain. Blue looks like she's going to protest, but she has to stop herself. She traded those words away, fair and square, after all! ] Says you, the ridiculous, wonderful, charming one.

[ he makes a tiny face at that, embarrassed, thinking that sounds like too many adjectives at once. ] Maybe stick to one or two at a time.

I don't think I signed a contract saying how the words would be used, did I? [ She hums interrogatively, giving him a look. ]

I briefly thought of that, but since we didn't have a lawyer on hand... [ this face. ] Words have power, don't they, Nurse Jane?

Names, too. [ She takes the bag of peas, brandishing them at him a bit. ] And titles.

Is that a comment on your new found title? [ reaching for the peas! ]

[ She tries to pull them out of reach, but alas, small arms! ] I'm still deciding how I feel about it.

Let me help: it's a fine title and you like it. [ yeah, good luck, blue! but he's not trying too hard to grab them. giving her a chance. ]

[ Holding them directly above her head now then. She lowers it slightly when he speaks though, huffing. ] Are you deciding how I feel for me?

[ oh jeez! he's reaching over her, hand on the back of the couch to brace himself as he does, but stops when she says that. hand still reaching for the peas, though. ] That is not what I... If you really hate it, I'll stop using it.

[ And she's leaning back a little, but maybe not enough, staring straight up at him. Close enough to- ] No, I don't think I do. [ She sounds extremely distracted. ]

[ suddenly, so does he. extremely distracted. ] It's not so bad, is it? [ his hand lowers. maybe his fingers touch her cheek, very lightly. ]

[ Blue knows that she should keep her eyes open, but she doesn't. She knows she should move in any direction other than toward Gansey.

But she doesn't. ]

No, it's not so bad. [ She isn't really sure what she's talking about now. ]
