Comment with your character, preferences, preferred role, and any information you'd like to include.
Your character has either been injured/sick and had to be taken in (possibly against their will) or has been the one to help somebody like the former. Through the mending process, the two characters in a thread have fallen in love - or at least grown closer and more affectionate.
Mostly because 'this' was a gaping wound along his side that was bleeding more than he really could spare, especially given all that had leaked out of his knees and one of his arms and even the gash on his head from falling onto the pavement seemed to be eeking out a decent amount of the stuff. It was almost entrancing, really, watching it flow out of him, spreading slick and dark on the pavement.
It was still a problem, though. He was reasonably certain he was going to die, in fact. And a part of him, a significant part of him, was annoyed at that if only because he definitely had more work to do. There were still Withered out there, Withered he knew the names of but hadn't found yet. Withered who would harm people, had harmed people for thousand of years. And here he was, breaking his rules, dying and letting that continue.
It was almost enough to help him push himself up. Almost. Not quite.
His fingers were going numb, numb enough that the support cane he'd used as both a defense and an offensive weapon during the fight with the Withered he'd just managed to send to
Well, wherever they went. If they went anywhere but the sewer, the sludge of their soulstuff still bubbling a little in the dark of the alley behind the hospital.
Honestly, he'd thought he was done with dealing with hospital dwellers. After that one disease vector that'd been such a damn hassle, he'd really been prepared to never get near a hospital his entire life, especially considering that the US Government was hunting him (among others). But this one had needed pain, had needed suffering in order to be even moderately normal, and that had led them both to this strange little town and this strangely well equipped hospital.
Why was he thinking about all of these things? Because he was dying and it was better to think of all those things than about Brook or Marcie or Clayton or anything else. Maybe it would be all right to let himself break the rules just one time...
(Probably the one nursing, all things considered, but I wouldn't be against a goddess somehow being harmed and healed. Open to gen, shippy, or smutty threads.)
