Took You In

The TOOK YOU IN Shipping Meme
They were on your front door, in your yard, or on the street, confused and clearly in no position to fend for themselves; in a worst case scenario, they were bruised and battered, possibly close to death. Bleeding heart or not, you can't just be so cruel as to let them suffer. They need a place to stay, and you'll open your home to them...long enough to get back on their feet, anyway.
Speaking of feet, the shoe could be on the other one. You're worse for the wear - in a new place, possibly injured, certainly not in the best state of mind. You could not even remember how you got here or who you are to get here, for that matter. You may not want to remember. Whether willing or not so willing, you're in no position to turn down help, especially if said helper won't take no for an answer. No matter how dedicated you are to looking after yourself, there's only so much you can do in your position.
The two of you are staying together, at any rate. Only for a while, the plan is. But after said while, even though strength and confidence is returning to the injured, there's something a little different between you two. It could be the close quarters, the kindness shown, or a number of things, but quietly, softly, feelings have grown. Could more confusion and hurt spring from this? What about when it's time to go? Can the temporary resident leave as easily as they intended? You're so close now, perhaps a little while longer can't do any harm...
...until whatever it was that put them in such a perilous position in the first place comes back, and there could be "justice" for anyone who's dared to help.

[ Reinhardt was always terrible in regards to his own health. His armor had broken down in a charge and he'd dislocated his shoulder and had a comminuted fracture along the humerus as well as a spiral fracture on the ulna, and even having worked on him before, she's never seen anyone wake up mid-surgery and laugh so loudly when she barked at the anesthesiologist to knock him back out before he tried to get up and walk off. The scramble to get a mask on him as well as fumbling for the machines regulating the IV drip was comical in retrospect, once she'd set and secured the bones, muscle tissue, repaired cartilage, and stitched him back up for a cast that spanned his shoulder down to the wrist.
The real challenge was dealing with him when he wasn't all chipper bravado and laughing; the after-effects would leave him groggy and disoriented and she's waiting at his bedside for him to wake so she can soothe him immediately and explain what's happened. Her hand is on that impossibly large chest and she's humming quietly to herself as she goes over the paperwork in her lap, lamp light low. He should be coming to within the next hour, if her estimation was correct after the adjusted anesthetics and morphine drip. ]

Hey, hey, easy. You have a lot of fun stuff pumping through your system right now; you just came out of surgery a few hours ago. Will you lie back down for me?
[ Her work is immediately set aside so she can shift up onto the bed and into his line of sight, patting his chest. ]
You did quite a number on yourself, you know.
no subject
It was worth defending our friends.
no subject
I thought I said easy— you need to be gentle with yourself for a few weeks! [ There's an easy little laugh as she adjusts herself, sitting in the dip by his waist on the bed. ] You always do exceptionally when it comes to keeping us safe; there's no reason you need to over-exert yourself after the fact. It's time to rest, my sweet old lion.
How are you feeling? How's the pain? I can get you some water if you're thirsty.
[ She'll catch his good hand and pull it into her lap, fingers stroking over the scarred back as her other soothes over his sternum, giving him contact to focus on and ground himself. ]
no subject
The pain? Ha. I feel nothing. But I could use a drink. I will get it.
[Though his mouth is uncomfortably dry, he's loath to lose her touch so soon. He moves to sit up again with the assumption that if he stands, she will follow. He gets as far as the first time before landing back in bed.]
In a moment.
no subject
With the weak grip on her thigh, she's already beginning to protest the second he says "I will—" ]
I have some right he— [ A sigh; he isn't listening, and all she can do is try her damnedest to catch him before he flops and jostles his arm, his fresh stitches. The attempt is comical at best, barely getting a hand behind his neck and weight levering her forward, but it's not... as bad as it could have been, she supposes. The hand on his chest never leaves, and she slips into speaking German with him, although it's her more playful upturned version with her Züridüütsch. ]
In a moment indeed. I have a glass for you here already, Augesternli. No need to fetch one yourself.
[ She'll reach for the nightstand with her free hand slipping from beneath his neck to get the glass, fingers catching the straw to hold it steady when she brings it to his lips. ]
Little sips.
no subject
He slips into his own dialect, the perplexing Schwäbisch, to answer. It's remarkable they understand each other so well, but that's the benefit of time and living close to one another. They were able not just to adjust to the other, but to learn.]
Thank you! I feel much better. My throat was like sandpaper. How was the surgery? Did it go well?
[His hand glides up from her leg and gently slides over her hip, inwardly regretting his injury. He can't mirror his touch without inviting pain to interrupt their closeness.]
no subject
I would imagine; it's been quite some time since we first got you on the table. Everything went perfectly. Your arm was broken in multiple places as well as some damage to your shoulder and its cartilage, but provided you heal as well as usual, there should be no residual damage. I stress "heal well". You'll need to be on your best behavior. This is a more delicate injury than usual.
[ She'd repaired everything, is the long and short of it. She always prioritized nerve restoration and spent a tedious amount of time in her surgical loupes to painstakingly suture tissue to heal as cohesively as possible to prevent muscle knotting and tightness of the tendons. Give her one of her loved ones and she'll obsess near to the point of detriment.
His touch slips up her leg to her hip and she'll take the motion as an invitation to lay against his chest, barely able to reach his face where she'll press a little kiss just above a scruffy jawline. ]
You're always my best patient.
Ah, though you did wake up in the middle of surgery this time and laugh when you saw my loupes. You scared my assistants.
no subject
I wish I could remember it! What a story I would have. I'll apologize to your assistants as soon as I am able, but the first apology goes to you. I brought chaos into your surgery and for that, I am sorry.
HOW DID I NOT ANSWER THIS ZOOMS BACK IN
His hand is a heavy warmth on her back and it soothes her even as she frets over him. Really, she's glad he didn't remember; she won't voice it, but he had scared her as well. Clamps on his arteries, skin and muscle pried open to work on his shoulder... one wrong move and he could have injured himself beyond repair. ]
They'll appreciate it, I'm sure. Even moreso if you bring them chocolate and gifts. They're almost as easily swayed as I am.
[ All it took to soothe Angela was his laugh; she'll rest her cheek against his chest where he can see her, though, and smile softly at his apology. ]
You don't need to apologize; nothing came of it and you're taken care of now. That's all that matters.
[ She'll lean up to kiss his cheek again, a little higher, lingering a little longer. She can hear the pain in his voice as clearly as she knows he won't take anything for it. She'll just have to get creative then. ]
Is there anything I can do to help you take your mind off the pain? I'm afraid I'll be keeping you here a few days, but you can come stay with me afterwards.
Don't worry, I'm still here for this!
One long, thoughtful look at her kind face and he forgets the bratwurst and curry ketchup entirely. He lifts his hand from her back, briefly touching her shoulder as he does, and then gingerly brushes his fingers down her cheek. A charming, flirtatious smile accompanies his playful request.]
I would be happy to go home with you! But until then, I think I could use another kiss. They are miracle cures on their own.
BLESS U
When she opens them again it's to his smile, warm and charming and all too convincing as her hand covers his at her cheek. ]
Let me get you a prescription, then.
[ Her fingertips trace nonsense letters in the back of his hand even as she leans in, pressing a kiss to his nose before a chaste one is pressed to his lips, slipping her way up against his side and continuing her massage at his shoulder, the curve of his neck. ]
no subject
I think I feel it working. But-
[He loses a bit of his cool, the additional banter in his head bringing forth a premature rasp of laughter. He clears his throat, collects himself and presses on.]
Maybe you should double the dosage, just to be safe.
GOD HE'S SUCH A PRECIOUS BEEF
Her neck stretches as her head tips beneath his touch, arching up into him like a cat. ]
Is that so? Peculiar; the effect is usually quite potent.
[ She can't contain the grin that flashes her teeth at his laugh, the further suggestion, but she's content enough to oblige and linger longer this time, the tip of her tongue tracing his lip before dragging it in between her teeth in a gentle scrape, nuzzling into him. Her massage persists at his neck, fingertips tracing strong chords of muscle down to his collarbone, over the gown she'd had to cut open to fit his arms through, passing over a nipple before settling on his stomach. ]
WTS Reinhardt/Mercy icons
Because despite his devotion to honor and glory, Reinhardt isn't without his vices. Angela must know his fondness for marking by now. It's rivaled only by his fondness for being marked. The discoloration of skin is a badge worthy of pride, an intimate emblem he prefers to keep hidden. Her throat is tempting but he refrains for a better plan. An obvious one too, as he simultaneously eyes her chest and seeks the hem of her top, then the hooks of her bra, with his good hand.]
Ah, I already feel it kicking in. Amazing!
I HAVE EXACTLY ONE here it is again... I wanna see rein/mercy art period sob
Angela's scarcely started to stroke his stomach when she sees his line of sight settle further down, to the press of her breasts against his chest while thick fingers find the hem of her top and go straight for her bra. The thrill of it races through her and she has to remind herself he's a man just out of surgery hooked up to a heart monitor, and she'll reach over to press the "Do Not Disturb" and "Doctor Present" buttons on the machine before anyone comes racing in. That had been done away with in a very politically correct manner for most areas of the hospital; too many lawsuits over breaches of privacy even for as silly a thing as it had been in the past. Hospitals and clinics are a place of rest and no one should be getting frisky in them, yet here they were, one practiced pinch of strong fingers and her bra loosens, taking a moment to break away from an attentive mouth to shed her wrap-style scrub top and let gravity do the work with her open bra, straps slipping off her shoulders and cups desperately clinging onto her front. One little nudge is all it'll take to remove that final barrier and she'll let him have the honors, reaching to hit the button adjusting the head of the bed up and climbing on with him properly, easing one leg over a thick waist, hands settling back on his stomach and stroking, working up to his chest and kneading heavy muscle until she can lean up into him and press a kiss to his forehead, fingers carding through thick white hair.
Just as Reinhardt has always been an attentive lover, so too has Angela been an affectionate one, cradling his head to her sternum and making all the arrangements to give him what he wants. ]
This miracle cure of ours is impressive, but I think we should further test it before sharing it with the world, don't you think? There must be better application sites, no?
That fanart is so precious. I will throw money at the Internet until it produces more
Reinhardt saves his response and, laughing, gently noses the skin between her breasts. He's tender at first, mouthing at her flesh while holding his grin at bay. The exploratory caresses of his lips turn into calculated bites that pinch and sucking that coaxes blood to the surface. His tongue swipes over each blemish he leaves behind until he's decorated her with three, two on her right and one on her left. He follows the curve of her left breast to her nipple, where his nibbling comes to an end. His attention is merciful but no less self-indulgent as he circles it with his lips and tongue.
He makes time to answer her now, a rascally smile across his face when he draws away.]
Do you have one in mind?
YES GOOD LET ME JOIN U makes it rain with our paychecks
Her brow rests against the top of his head as she watches him leave his mark on her chest over and over again, a breathless little groan slipping out on the third before his teeth skim down to her nipple and she wants nothing more than for him to take it in his mouth, back arching up into his lips when he stops to answer her and she has to steady her breathing. ]
I have a few ideas, but I won't interrupt.
[ She says this and yet she's shifting back to roll her hips down into him, seeking the shape of him beneath her. The gown and thin blankets of the bed did little to create a barrier between them, but it just meant it would be that much easier to get access to him when they're ready. Her hands run through his hair once more, fingers fluttering over the tails curling up at his nape before stroking down over his neck, smoothing over his shoulders, then ghosting along the shape of his cast until she can brush over his bare fingers and move to press kisses to each one, gentle. Her other catches his hand at her hip and guides it up to her chest, pushing one breast up in quiet request for his attentions. ]

yuna | final fantasy x + duodecim
some of her memories had come back to her by now, and although most of the details were still a bit foggy, she knew what she had to do. she had managed to make it to sanctuary without too many problems this time, and as such, looked as though she was one of the first to arrive.
she had only woken a short time ago, perhaps that was true of the others as well...
after awhile the sound of footsteps reached her, causing her to rise again and look out towards the source. )
Is... someone there?
no subject
His memory was fuzzy, more from his head injuries than anything else. His vision spun and blurred, his chest ached. A hacking cough sent him to his knees, his sword having been left behind somewhere by now. His eyelids drooped as consciousness threatened to leave, more of that metallic taste in his mouth and he tried very hard to focus on the voice he thought he heard. It sounded familiar. Why?
He groaned and pushed himself up, only to begin stumbling forward again. Stars and black spots filled his vision even as he saw what appeared to be a woman.]
...ngh...
no subject
It's all right, you're— ( she did her best to support his weight, easing him to the ground gently as she studied his injuries... and his face. another warrior of cosmos, she was sure of it! ) ... You've made it to Sanctuary.
( trying to gently turn him so that she could better assess where exactly he was hurt, she moved to place his head in her lap, hoping he wouldn't fight the motions too much. ) I can help.
no subject
S-Sanct-uary? Y-Y'sure?
[He didn't know if his enemy would have followed him here. He was a warrior of cosmos, he remembered that much. But he didn't know who had battled him so suddenly like that, so viciously and ferociously. Although part of that could have been due to his jumbled memories as they had all just awoken not too long ago.]
no subject
( looking down his poor, battered form, yuna bit her lip — a habit she'd developed somewhere along the way in order to curb the worry that was usually painted plainly on her face. ) Tell me... if it hurts, all right? I'll be as gentle as I can.
( she moved to brush aside the vest that he wore, revealing open cuts and bruises that darkened in colour. as carefully as she could, she placed a hand over one that still actively bled, chanting her cura spell in hopes of sealing it. )
no subject
W-Wa's yer name?
[He knew he didn't have much time before he was going to pass out, he just hoped he remembered what she told him.]
M'Vaan.
so sorry for delay... slight timeskip if that's cool?
I'm Yuna. You can rest easy now, Vaan...
( and with that... she hoped he would find the mercy of unconsciousness.
and while he rested, the summoner got to work. working as swiftly as she could, she dressed his wounds, treating them with what little supplies she had. luckily there was more than enough cloth on her sleeves to tear into bandages for the worst of his cuts and scrapes.
when she was finally done, she found the sweet embrace of sleep as well, sitting in an obviously uncomfortable position by his side, obviously having fallen asleep mid-task... )
That's fine! <3
He groaned as he struggled to sit up, his head on something soft originally. He sighed and gave up, finally opening his eyes and saw a girl asleep above him. His head was in her lap and she didn't look comfortable. He couldn't lift his body, but he could try to shake her a little. His arm felt incredibly stiff but he managed to work it to her arm, giving her a small shake. What was her name... oh!]
Yuna? Hey, Yuna... [Wow, was that his voice? Well, his throat did feel like he was deep in the desert right now.]
no subject
colour rushes to her cheeks as she squirms a little to inch herself away gently. ) H-how are you feeling?
I fail I'm so sorry ._.;
Better, thanks to you.
[It confirmed she had to also be a Warrior of Cosmos.]
What about you? You used a lot of magic.
