Kiara just smiled faintly. "It's the thought that counts, right? And if you'd just let me rest my head on your shoulder, we can call it even." Her voice was faint as she tried to keep from fading. Without a reply, her head gently rested on his shoulder, her eyes closed. She was fighting the pain and the nausea. The food had been good but it didn't help anything. There was a faint thought that crossed her mind, like a whisper of the wind. She couldn't believe she actually had said that and was now resting on him. She mumbled before her mouth could catch what she was saying, "Your comfortably soft."
|
Acheron smiled a little as he let her lie on his shoulder. He didn't move too much, in fear of hurting her some more. At her comment about him being soft, he chuckled lightly. "Thank you. But, you can use my lap. It's much more comfortable." he offered, leaning his head back a little to rest it as well. They really needed to get her to a hospital. He remembered having some sort of painkillers in his bags. Maybe that would be able to help her more than the medicine here. It did seem outdated.
|
Without even opening her eyes, she adjusted to where she was comfortably laying with her head on his lap, the rest of her body curled to fit the rest of the couch, less painful than fully stretching out. She was close to passing out even though she had only just woken up half an hour or so before. Her voice was so quiet, almost like she was in a different world as she faded in and out. "Would you tell me a story? Maybe bout how everyone met or we met? Your voice is comforting." Again, her mouth was quicker than her though to keep her words from forming.
|
Acheron looked down at her and he smirked softly. "You better still be alive when you wake up. Else you'll have to face a horrible kiss and see if that works to wake you." he said, teasing, though he was afraid that she suddenly became so tired. Brushing her hair away from her face gently he thought about the first time they met. "Hm.. That's a pretty interesting one. The first time I met miss Kiara. You hit me because I was in your spot on the tree about six years back." he started, a slight playful tone in his voice.
|
Kiara managed a smile that was very small. "Yeah. Yeah, I remember. I'm sorry about that." She snuggled closer to his torso, ignoring the flares of pain that made her twitch faintly. He was so incredibly comfortable. Soft, comforting...Kiara was now more asleep then awake, though she still come to at moments. She wondered once if he would keep talking, his voice as soothing as it ever was.
|
He chuckled, continuing with the story "It's fine. Though, I had gotten slightly peeved since I had no idea it was your spot, seeing as I moved in just the other day. So, the first person I meet that was around my age was a pretty girl that punched me for, seemingly no reason. First impression of the neighborhood: Dangerous." he said, smiling a little as he closed his eyes as well, remembering. "Of course, after we settled our differences, we started to hang out and you showed me around the place." he said, tilting his head, searching through his mind as he thought of what else he could tell her.
|
Kiara only managed to mumble something incomprehensible, though a couple words could be made out. "...silly....boys...entertaining...me happy..." She was speaking as the memories were like a movie flashing through in her mind.
|
He smirked a little, looking down at her in amusement. "Next memory with you, first time we entered high school. The uniform given to you was a bit too short and too small, so you forced me to give you a pair of my uniform pants instead. Thus you got in trouble and I had to speak for your defense. Saved you from detention, and found out your size was close to mine that year, making shopping sort of easy. Though, I still had to translate sizes to girls." he said, tilting his head and chuckling. That year had been funny, since he had to try the pants for the girls to get it right the first time.
|
A faint smile graced Kiara's lips, pants and skirts flashing threw her head. This time it was very clear what she had to say. "Fucking school uniforms." The nausea was going away now, replaced by a warm fuzzy feeling as she remembered that incident, when he defended her. She would have defended herself but she usually did it in an...opinionated manner and usually made it worse.
|
Acheron raised an eyebrow but grinned. "I liked the uniforms. You looked good in them. And also, it made it easier for me to not have to dig around for clothes." he commented. "You know how late I get up, since you forced me to wake up countless times." he said, remembering how if not for her help, he would have not even shown up to class in the morning. And it would have ruined it since he was an AP student, amazingly.
|
Kiara actually managed to open sleep glazed eyes and looked at him blurily. "You said I looked good. Did I really?" She had always thought that the plaid skirts and ties, and the blazer had looked horrible on her. "And you could have managed without me. I'm sure you could've found some adoring fan girl to help you out." She mumbled that last sentence, not sure if she really wanted to say it."
|
He looked surprised but he nodded. "Yeah. You did. You managed to pull it off." he said, smirking before looking up at the ceiling, thinking. "I don't think I would have wanted a fangirl to wake me up. She would have been more willing to stare or something. You threw me off the bed if I didn't wake up." he said, chuckling a little as he glanced back down at her. "Of course, when we met up with Katie in the second year, she also helped you out in waking me up. You two were brutal with me." he said, making a small face.
|
Kiara blinked at him. "Yeah, we were, huh?" She closed her eyes and turned her head to where she wouldn't really be looking at him if she opened them again. A thought had occurred to her that she didn't like at all. What if he likes Katie more than me? If he even likes you, Ky. Her face was blank of emotion for all that she wanted to hide and cry. Crap. I'm getting all girlie and weak again, she thought. This is so stupid! I hate being in pain. She whispered, "I want to get out of here."
|
He nodded as he stuck his tongue out at her. "Oh so cruel with me." he lamented before tilting his head at her sudden change of attitude. "We can't leave yet.." he told her, frowning a little. He was worried about his friends. Katie was the healthiest of them, so that didn't help much. He did want to get out of the house as well. Last nights discoveries were a bit eerie, but also interesting. "Hm, what would you like me to tell you now?" he asked lightly as he glanced over at the door, thinking on a way to get out before the others noticed. It would be a bit silly, but he had to get the bags..
|
Kiara shifted a little, now more awake than she had been. "You dont have to. I...I can just lay here. You probably have other things you need to do, right?" Like go hang out with Katie. She blinked. Wow, I sound jealous. And she didn't want him to leave. She didn't want him to stop talking but she had already taken too much liberty with him. More than she had ever intended.
|
Acheron shook his head a little, raising an eyebrow. "Not really. I have Plenty of time. I can talk." he said, offering her a small smile. He couldn't go out just yet, since it was still raining, so he had to wait until it lessened. He didn't know if said something wrong, with her sudden alertness.
( He's so screwed. XD Has to choose between the two and stuff. ^ ^' ) |
(yeah, I know XD I'm so excited. :P my girls totally head over heels for him too. Katies is too, huh? XD Poor Acheron. I don't envy him at ALL!)
Kiara just tried to shrug, though it stopped before it was done. That was painful. Her head spun a little and she squeezed her eyes more closed, trying to fend off tears that weren't entirely because of the physical pain. "It's up to you, really. I'm probly gonna fall asleep pretty soon if you do keep talking." |
Acheron glanced down at her but then grew startled as he saw a tear escape. "Are those tears??" he asked, shocked. "Are you in that much pain? I can, um.. Aw damn.." he muttered, frowning before looking sad. "I'm so so so sorry." he apologized. "I, could keep talking, if it'd keep the pain away.." he offered looking down at her before wiping her tear away.
( lol I think Katie has a crush on him, but not sure how much she might like him. But yeah, yeah he's screwed. And so freaken Clueless! *smacks him*He's so dense in that sort of way I swear. ^ ^' On the other hand.. It's going to be interesting. :33 ) |
(That's what makes him him thought ^^ He's a fun guy XD And it is going to be interesting.
Kiara hadn't realized that a tear had actually gotten through. She sat up, slowly and just shook her head, also slowly. "It's nothing. I'm fine. Just think maybe I should sleep. And will you stop bloody apologizing? I'll have to hit you again and don't think i can't do it in my...condition." She was acting tough, her usual self, though only because she was hiding behind it. She wished he hadn't touched her. Laying on his lap was one thing but him gently removing a tear, a finger sliding smoothly on her face? That she would not be able to resist if he did it again. |
He looked confused as she sat up. "If you need sleep, lie back down." he said, sounding just as confused before he sighed, shaking his head. "Sor-- Er, so... It's harder than you think." he said, flushed a little since he had to stop himself from apologizing. Even for cutting off. He looked at her though and raised an eyebrow. "Um, I'll sing you a lullaby?" he offered. He never did know why she liked it, but it always put her to sleep whenever she was tired.
( lol Yays. :3 I sometimes don't like it when guys are that clueless. x.x; I feel bad for the girl. ^ ^' ) |
(Yeah, I know what you mean.)
Kiara couldn't help it. She put her head in her hands, hiding. This way he couldn't see whatever tears managed to escape the mental barricade she was setting up. He did always sing to her. And she always fell asleep because she loved his voice, felt safe when he did. It only took a seconds, though to her it was an eternity. She lowered her hands, any trace of crying gone, pretending her almost breakdown hadn't happened. She smiled weakly. "Yeah. I think I'd like that if you don't mind doing that for me again. Its been a while." She slowly lowered herself back to where her head was on his lap and she was curled comfortably, or as comfortably as she could, and closed her eyes, waiting for the very welcome sleep to overtake her while he sang. |
Acheron looked at her as she covered her face. He wasn't sure what to do exactly. He couldn't even touch her to comfort her in fear of hurting her. While he waited for her to answer his question, he just stayed in place, frowning in concern. Once she seemed to gather her wits again and replied to his question, he thought of any song that might do for a lullaby. He stroked her hair a little before smiling. "Think I found one." he said, remembering the song.
Quote:
He finished softly, glancing down at her. The song strangely fit their situation slightly. In some aspects of it. And he had sung it before. If that one didn't work for her, then he'd just have to think of a different song. "Kia?" ( The song's A Stray Child. :) It's from the .Hack// series. <3 ) |
(I really like it!!! I've read the manga but have been wanting to watch the series. I'll have to do so now XD)
The only response he got was her shifting her position a little. She was fast asleep; his lullaby, as always, putting her there. That doesn't mean she didn't hear the whole song. Just that the last little part was in her dream and didn't register as conscious. Sleep was being good to her. Because she was on his lap, she didn't move a whole lot, so pain didn't shoot into the world she was in. And she looked peaceful, asleep. Her dreams were filled with lullabys and a very cute boy feeding her food, not because she was hurt or in pain, but because he wanted to and she wanted him to. |
Acheron smirked a little, brushing her hair away from her face a little as he leaned his head back a little on the couch. "Nighty night." he muttered, glad she was asleep now. It'd be a little relief from her pain. I need new songs that sound like lullabies. he thought. He was still very hungry though, and glanced a the food on the table before glancing back down at her asleep. "Gah, the things I do for you." he said softly, shaking his head since he couldn't grab it. It'd disturb her.
The manga was awesome. <3 And yes! You must, it has a cool soundtrack and is pretty cool. :3 ) |
Katie got up after finishing her food."Good to see your feeling better Kiara.." She stated, giving her a small smile and taking her things into the kitchen. She didn't mind that Archeron had left to hang out with her again, it was of course only normal for a guy to go for a girl. And anyways, she only liked him as a friend. She thought to herself, pulling her hair over her shoulders and sighing a little as she put the plates in the sink. She went over to Claire and Primrose."Thanks for the meal..it was delicious." She said, giving Archeron a nod of 'See, I told you.' But he wasn't a mind reader so he would know that she was upset, anyways, her face was smiling. First things were first, she would find a new shirt.
Prim looked up."In your room theres a drawer full of dresses, you'd look lovely in them..go ahead and try one on." Katie smiled."Thank you.." She said, going upstairs and into the room. The only thing in the drawer that she liked, and would fit her bustiness, was a gorgeous white and black victorian dress, like Primroses and Claires.. She walked back down the steps, feeling very odd..in a dress. She hated dresses. But it was better then Archerons shirt and short shorts. Her skinny jeans had gotten blood on them just like her shirt..so she had no clean clothes."Here Archie." She said, only calling him that when she was joking or upset. She handed him his shirt and then went into the living room where there was a huge window right next to a chair in the corner. She sat in it, running her fingers across the edge of the dress. Primrose smirked."She would've been gorgeous in one of our family photos." She said, starting to wash all the plates."Have you found Alice, Claire?" |
