home.

home.

Before this, you had nowhere to go. Nowhere but your own aching body, most likely injured, or your tussled thoughts. You may not even know where to go, your identity stripped from you in whatever hurricane of an action that lead you to be so down and out. But then, someone came along and offered you somewhere to stay. You can't turn that down, no matter how loathe you may be to deal with anyone or owe anyone something.

Or that's how it all begins. As you two stay close together and they nurse you back to full strength - despite your potential complaints - things between you change. You grow closer and more used to each other; then, slowly, what used to be thankfulness and generosity turns into love...or something like it. Affection. Deep adoration.

And somewhere along the line, that itself turns physical.

You're thanking them. You're trying to show them how much you care. You want them to love you more than anyone, because they gave you a chance and a home. You need to seal the deal and do more than just "play house" with them. No matter the case, they've opened their bed to you now, as well. This could be the first time, the last time, or the millionth time, but you'll gladly take their offer.

  1. ғɪɴᴅɪɴɢ — Who's that? They're no ordinary passersby! Were they in an accident? Are they foreign? ...should you approach them?

  2. ʀᴀɪɴ, ʀᴀɪɴ, ɢᴏ ᴀᴡᴀʏ — The elements make this night no time to sleep out of doors.

  3. ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ — Cuts, broken bones, injuries all of sorts...you have to stitch them back up, then make sure they don't get any

  4. ɢᴏᴏᴅ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ — It's all you can do to show gratitude to the person who took you in. Fix them a meal, care for their house, whatever you can do once you're able.

  5. ʙᴀᴅ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ — FUCK THIS PERSON AND FUCK THEIR COUCH. You didn't ask to be brought here. Let them clean up after you, you don't even care.

  6. ᴡʜᴏ ᴀᴍ ɪ? — How you got into this situation is a mystery. Even more of a mystery is your identity, and why the person you were would be so displaced.

  7. ʟᴇᴀʀɴɪɴɢ — If you've been injured badly enough or can't remember all too well, you might have to relearn a good deal. Luckily, you have a helping hand.

  8. sᴄᴀʀs — Scars from the encounter that lead you here or scars from prior, you don't want them to see either. You still have your secrets to keep.

  9. sᴛᴜʙʙᴏʀɴ — Ugh, your house guest is so stubborn! They always get up when they should be resting, have the worst habits, and completely disrespect your home! You'll get to them, one way or another. Or you'll throw them out. You don't want to, but you will.

  10. ᴄᴏᴍғᴏʀᴛ — Bad memories or nightmares wreck you; your host and nurse comes to your side unexpectedly.

  11. ᴄᴜʟᴛᴜʀᴇ ᴄʟᴀsʜ — The person who's taken you in is from a different culture or lifestyle than you, and adapting is harder than you thought.

  12. ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ ғᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ — Think learning about a new culture is hard? Try being a different species. Can you keep your little eccentricities at bay for the good of your station?

  13. ᴊᴇᴀʟᴏᴜsʏ — Now that your emotions towards your caretaker/host/jailer are softening, you're finding yourself unusually jealous of those in their life who were close to them before.

  14. ɴᴇᴡ ᴀᴄᴛɪᴠɪᴛɪᴇs — You never thought you'd have fun after all that's happened, yet such simple gestures as a picnic or a movie make all the difference.

  15. ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ — You love them, this person who's taken you in or this person you've found. It's not a pity or a thankfulness, it's love, and you know that now. What you choose to do with this information is

  16. ʜɪsᴛᴏʀʏ — Suddenly, the person who's been so nice to you finds out that the two of you have a history. You killed their loved ones or caused something terrible. How can they forgive you?

  17. ᴘʀᴏᴛᴇᴄᴛ — So much has been done for you. The least you can do in return for the one who helped you at your lowest is make sure they never have such a low point.

  18. ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴇs ᴋɴᴏᴄᴋɪɴɢ — Anyone in the way of getting to you will be destroyed, and that includes the person you're staying with.

  19. ʟɪᴠᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇᴍ — You've been given a home, maybe which you've never had before. You don't want to leave.

  20. ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ — Not only are you living with them, but you're starting a proper life with them.

  21. ʀᴇᴠᴇᴀʟ — All secrets are laid out on the table. You've decided to tell about your past and what lead you here.

  22. ʀᴇᴠᴜʟsɪᴏɴ — What you've done and who you are is so heinous, they want nothing more to do. You're to leave their home and leave them alone.

  23. ᴀᴄᴄᴇᴘᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ — It doesn't matter what they've done. You've opened your home and your heart to them, and nothing's changed.

  24. ᴘᴀʀᴛɪɴɢ — All things must come to an end. No matter what you feel for each other, it's time to leave. Hopefully, you'll see each other again.

  25. ʜᴀᴘᴘɪʟʏ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴀғᴛᴇʀ — Come what may, you've decided to stay at your new home with the person you love. Now, it's safe enough to do so.

  26. ᴡɪʟᴅᴄᴀʀᴅ

[ He's been offworld a bit longer than usual. Of necessity; things had gotten hectic around here while Leia had been recovering, and even now they're all run a little ragged. She'd worried a little when they last spoke, but things had been easier between them for a while.

So she's more than a little concerned when he turns up at the door to their bedroom on Chandrila looking entirely wrecked. She doesn't even say anything, just takes his hand and leads him over to their bed. He'll talk about it if he wants to talk about it. ]

[ When Tomura brushes the rain out of his eyes, his fingers come away red with blood. His head is ringing, and his vision swims. The ruined street looks fuzzy, but he can't tell if it's rain or if it's just him. Concussed, maybe.

He needs to get out of here. Backup will get here soon, but not too soon. The fight had been just slow enough for witnesses to scatter, for one of the pros to land a blow, but not much more. He has a small window of time to make himself scare, and he'll need it; the transmitter in his ear is noisy with static. Maybe it got damaged, or maybe one of those infuriating heroes destroyed it. Either way, there'll be no help coming from the Doctor.

He just needs to hide somewhere, only as long as it will take to reach an ally. Somewhere close, somewhere safe. Where...?

His feet move before he even makes a decision. Like it's second nature. They take a familiar, well-worn path—one that Tomura had stayed away from for awhile out of- out of precaution. Just giving some space (or perhaps delaying the inevitable, whispers an obscene voice), but it's the only place that occurs to him might be safe.

Before he knows it, he finds himself knocking on Natsuo's door. His other hand keeps brushing the rain-blood out of his eyes, and in between trying to clear his vision, it trembles down to his neck, scratching to match the uneasiness clawing its way up his spine. Will Natsuo answer the door? Fuck—what time, what day is it? Does he have class? Or maybe he's inside, waiting... Waiting for Tomura to leave.

The thought doesn't make him angry. It's hard to be angry at something so predictable. Natsuo's still just a civilian after all; he isn't part of all this killing and maiming and terror. He's just a student. And he loves his family.

Tomura couldn't have expected him to accept it in the first place.

This had all been obvious, results he thought through and was prepared to live with, so why does he feel so desperate? Like he needs that door to open? Like it's the end of everything if it doesn't. Like he may as well walk into the open and let the heroes finish their jobs.

It's pathetic. He's pathetic. Sensei would be disappointed in him too.

He clenches his fist against the door, fighting the urge to bring down this entire wall—maybe the whole building, why not?—but he just bangs it against the wood one last time, then lets his hand drop.

On leaden feet, he turns to go. ]
