Celestine scrambled up onto his hands quickly and scurried back away from the bed until the light came on. Once the light was on and he was able to at least see he stopped moving, though his emerald eyes were still frozen wide in fear and he was gasping as if he'd just been suffocated again. It took him a few moments of just staring wide eyed at Yoichi before his breathing started to slow and his head nodded weakly after he finally registered his question. His face was very flushed, though not entirely from embarrassment, and tiny beads of sweat were running down his forehead. He was trembling as he tried to hold himself up by his arms. He wasn't cold anymore, or he didn't think he was, but he was still clearly freaked out by the way he had woken up. Shortly after his breathing started to slow he raised one fist in front of his face to cover his mouth while he coughed again. He was coughing a little harder than he had been earlier and had a little more trouble stopping since he was still trying to catch his breath and breathing deeply seemed to be what was triggering it. Finally he just sighed and laid back in the floor, closing his eyes again. He just lay there taking a few deep breaths before he finally spoke quietly. "...I...I'm sorry...." he whispered quietly. This was exactly why he hated sharing a room with anyone else. He seemed to tend to wake up like this a lot, especially when something had happened to freak him out any time recently. He felt like an idiot and knew that was a very unpleasant way to wake someone up in the middle of the night. He still felt exhausted and now he couldn't even decide if he was hot or not. He felt really hot to the touch but at the same time he kept having cold chills that made him want to curl back up under the blanket again. He didn't really feel like getting back up right this second, he was still just trying to calm himself down again and get his breathing back under control again before he got up.
|
Yoichi stared over at Celestine for a moment after his eyes had focused better and couldn't believe the way Celestine was staring back at him. He shook his head lightly and lowered himself completely onto the bed with his head hanging partially off the mattress. "C'mon, it can't be that bad waking up in a bed next to me." He was only cracking a joke of course, or at the very least he hoped so. He didn't want to think that he was the cause of the look of fright in Celestine's eyes. He continued to lay where he was on the bed until he heard him start coughing and obviously having a helluva time trying to stop. He pushed himself up a little and then began sitting himself up. He shook his head lightly when he heard Celestine say that he was sorry. "I don't see why." He responded to him as he started to stand up from the bed and move closer to him. He had seen how flushed his face was before he laid back on the floor and he couldn't help wondering if that meant he was feeling worse than before. He stepped over and crouched down to the side of Celestine and without so much as a pause he reached over and set the back of his hand to his cheek gently and then to his forehead. "You're quite warm..." He murmured. It didn't take a rocket scientist to deduce that he was running a fever. He was hot to the touch, sweating and shivering. If he asked he wouldn't be surprised to hear that he had a headache, no appetite whatsoever and felt weak. He let his hand rest against his leg after he pulled it back and continued to look down at Celestine. "You need to get back into bed, no ifs, ands, or buts about it."
|
Celestine didn't even respond to Yoichi's joke, mostly because he'd began coughing before he had the chance. After Yoichi got up and came to sit beside him he turned his head away from him a little, obviously aware that he was there though he hadn't opened his eyes to look at him. He heard him approaching. He made a face when Yoichi put his hand to his cheek and then turned his head back slightly while he felt his forehead. He cracked his eyed open a little to look at Yoichi before he closed them again. As much as Yoichi weirded him out, he wasn't complaining a bit about him touching his head. His cold hands felt pretty good right about now. "...I was apologizing...for waking you up...like that..." he said quietly. He groaned softly after being told that he needed to get back into bed. He didn't feel like moving again but he had a feeling Yoichi wasn't going to let him stay there one way or another. After a minute he moved his arms and propped himself back up on his elbows again before sitting up. He shut ups eyes tightly and leaned his head forward before pressing his fingers to his forehead for a moment. It hurt a little to move his head too much and he was a little light headed at the moment. After he regained his bearings he started to stand up slowly, staggering to the side a little before he caught his balance and moved forward to sit down on the edge of the bed. He sighed and leaned forward, closing his eyes again while he propped his arm on his knee and let his head rest in his hand. "...You can go back to bed...I can't sleep," he said simply. He didn't want to keep Yoichi up. He knew it was late and there was no telling what time it was right now. He just knew he didn't want to lay back down and risk going to sleep and repeating this little incident.
|
Yoichi shook his head lightly. "Don't worry about it. No harm done." He told him quietly. He wasn't upset or anything that he'd been woken up the way that he had. It was a bit startling but other than that he was fine and he was just kind of glad that nothing seemed to be wrong, or rather he hadn't been told of anything that could possibly be wrong. He kept an eye on Celestine while he started to sit up. Once he had begun getting to his feet, so did he. He stood up straight and watched Celestine while he crept over to the bed. He was fully prepared to help him to the bed if need be so he wasn't but a short arms length away from him until he sat down on the bed. He was glad that Celestine had gotten up on his own and gotten to the bed. Had he not gotten up himself he was more than willing to lug him up off the floor and onto the bed. "I'll get back to bed soon enough." He told him before he turned and headed towards the door. He paused when he reached the door and looked back at him. "Oh... and just because you're sitting on the bed..." He paused and smirked slightly. "That doesn't mean you're in bed. You really do need to lay down." He told him before he stepped into the hall and headed for the kitchen. He didn't know a whole ton about getting rid of fevers but he did know you needed to stay hydrated when you had one, especially if you were a water dragon like he was. Fevers could be a lot worse in his opinion for water dragons and thankfully Celestine was a wind dragon. He got down a glass from the cupboard once he had reached the kitchen and filled it with water before heading back to the bedroom. He paused briefly and grabbed a small folding table along the way. Once he returned to the bedroom he flipped the small table open with his one hand and set it beside Celestine's side of the bed before he set the glass of water down on it. "I do expect you to drink all of that, whether you're thirsty or not." He told him. "...You need to stay hydrated." He added lastly so that maybe he didn't sound like too much of an ass for saying what he had.
|
Celestine just sighed when Yoichi said that he would get back in bed soon enough. He heard him going toward the door, but half assumed he was going to the bathroom or something. He glanced up to him again when he told him that he needed to lay down and then sighed again. He still didn't want to lay down, even if Yoichi thought he needed to. He didn't know what the difference was between sitting or laying, he was more or less at rest either way. He continued to sit there just the way he was after Yoichi left the room, though a few minuets later he finally sighed and leaned over sideways with his legs still hanging off of the side of the bed and his head resting back on the pillow. That was about as good as it was going to get as far as he was concerned. He closed his eyes again, only because it hurt his head a little to keep them open with the light on. His ear twitched a little when he heard Yoichi come back and set up the table. When he spoke he opened his eyes and looked at the glass of water before he groaned. He started to sit up a little to take a few sips just to make Yoichi happy, but his head made him change his made and lay back down again."...I'm fine, Yoichi... I don't want it right now..." He really didn't feel like sitting back up to drink it. Water was tasteless anyway and something about it always seemed to leave an aftertaste in his mouth that he really didn't like. He drank water more than anything else but only when he was really thirsty which was maybe once or twice a day. Of course he hadn't had anything recently except for the juice that Levana had given him this morning, but still he was pretty sure he was fine on liquids. "...Thanks anyway..." he said quietly as he closed his yes again and sighed softly. He really just wanted Yoichi to go back to sleep and leave him be.
|
Yoichi glanced over at Celestine and watched as it looked like he was going to sit up but decided against it. He gave a heavy sigh after he heard him say that he didn't want it right now; of course not. Everything seemed to be going pretty easily thus far and he finally had to hit a snag. He stood there for a moment and gave another sigh. He stared over at his face when he heard him say 'thanks anyway' and nodded weakly. After a moment he reached down and scooped up Celestine's legs and set them down on the bed, rather than letting them hang off the side. "You really do need to drink that water, Celestine. Even if you don't want it." He told him while gathering the blanket so that he could cover him up a little. "As I said before, you need to stay hydrated and being out in the rain doesn't count." He paused and sighed quietly. "...Don't make me have to force you to drink it." He said as he started to round the bed so that he could sit on his side. He wasted very little time climbing onto his side of the bed and sitting down with his back pressed up against the headboard while glancing down at Celestine. He really did kind of feel bad for him since he wasn't feeling well and wished that there was something more that he could do for him but as of right now he wasn't sure what more he could do.
|
Celestine startled a little when Yoichi scooped up his legs and put him back in the bed fully. He sighed again when he told him again that he needed to drink it again and then cracked his eyes open to look at him while he covered him back up. He would have really loved to complain about being covered up as well, but he knew it wouldn't do him a whole lot of good to fuss over too much...especially since Yoichi was threatening to force him to drink the water. He gave him a rather annoyed look when he said that and then sighed again and closed his eyes again. He felt Yoichi climb back onto his side of the bed and then cracked his eyes open again, not wanting to keep them closed for too long for fear of falling asleep again. Finally he sighed and started to sit himself up slowly again, though again his head complained about raising up too much, but this time he ignored it. He reached over to the glass and picked it up, though for some reason it felt a little heavier than he thought it should have, and so long as he was holding it on only one hand the water was sloshing around in the glass since his hand was so unsteady. He pulled it closer to him and then raised his other hand to hold onto it before he tipped it up to his lips. He really didn't want it, but he didn't want to have Yoichi pour it all over him trying to make him drink it. He started to drink it quickly, making as face as the liquid ran over his tongue, bringing out that rather disgusting taste again. He drank as much as he could stomach and then sat the glass back down on the table with only about one-third of the liquid missing, if even that much. He sighed and then laid back down again, not bothering to pull the cover back up from were it had fallen to his lap. "There..." he said simply, obviously finished. He was only drinking some of it just to satisfy him, he had no intention of choking down the rest, at least not tonight. Like when he ate, he usually only drank a little at a time.
|
Yoichi was at least glad to see Celestine pick up the glass. He didn't really want to sit here and tell him repeatedly that he needed to drink the water and if at all possible he kind of wanted to avoid forcing him to drink it. Though, that was only because he wasn't exactly sure how to successfully go about doing that. He continued to sit there and watch Celestine while he tipped the glass back and started drinking the water. He was a bit dissatisfied when Celestine decided that he'd had enough and put the glass back on the small table before laying back down. "You make that sound like it was difficult for you to do... and you didn't even finish it like I told you to." He commented as he eyed the glass to see just how much he had left in there. He sighed quietly when he saw so much water was left. He was pretty sure that it was going to be like pulling teeth to get Celestine to pick that up again right away, especially since he seemed to have a distaste for it on top of seriously not wanting it. If he was forcing him to drink it he really wanted to do it in a manner that got more of the water into Celestine's mouth than on him or the bed. He thought about it for a few moments and finally came up with an idea that he couldn't help but smirk at. He glanced back over at Celestine for a moment and then eyed the glass. He gave a sigh easily mistaken for a defeated one. He shifted a bit so that he was mostly on his side facing Celestine. Then he lifted himself up a little and purposely reached across him so that he could get to the glass. The way that he had moved his chest was partially over Celestine. He took hold of the glass and brought it over to his own lips so that he could take a drink, making sure to swallow it. His second drink from the glass he kept in his mouth then set the glass down, leaving it just a tad past half full. He started to let himself back down onto his side of the bed but slowed slightly through the process as he neared Celestine's face. He set his left hand to the side of his face and ran his hand down his jawline until he could use his thumb to part his lips then lowered his head the rest of the way so that he could press his lips to Celestine's and force him to take the water from him. He pulled away once he'd lost the water and sat back the rest of the way. He did that mostly to make sure that Celestine got more of the water but he couldn't resist getting an indirect kiss out of the exchange.
|
Celestine groaned softly when Yoichi said that he made it seem difficult. "...I can't drink a lot at once..." he said simply before he closed his eyes. He cracked them open again just long enough to see Yoichi lean over him to get the glass though and then stared at his chest with a mildly uncomfortable and annoyed expression. After he got the glass he eyed him suspiciously until he saw him take a drink. He sighed and then closed his eyes again. "Don't make yourself sick..." he said quietly. He didn't know if he had anything that was contagious or not, but he didn't really want to be the cause for Yoichi getting sick. He kept his eyes closed when he felt Yoichi lean over him again though he started to open them again when he felt the cold hand on his face. His eyes widened slightly when he saw how close Yoichi was to his face, though just as he was got his hand in the air to shove him away Yoichi's lips connected with his. His eyes widened and he froze completely solid as his face turned even more red. I AM GOING TO MURDER HIM!!! He remained frozen like that, every muscle in his body tensing until the water flooded his mouth. He choked a little on the water but then swallowed quickly to keep any more from running down his wind pipe instead of his throat. As soon as Yoichi pulled back he sat upright again, far too quickly, and started coughing again. He got it under control quickly, but held his hand pressed tightly over his mouth while his face turned about six shades of red. He closed his eyes tightly for a moment, his ears laying back about as far as they could go. Bastard! Bastard! BASTARD! he thought as he sat there. Finally he opened his eyes again and glared daggers at Yoichi...if looks could kill he would most certainly be dead. He growled and then before he even thought about it he drew his other hand back and slapped it across Yoichi's face as hard as he possibly could in his condition. "You bastard!" he hissed before he threw the covers off of his legs and swung them over the side of the bed before he stood up again. He staggered again, even worse than before considering that being worked up like that did nothing for his headache and all of the blood rushing to his face was only making him feel even more light headed. He didn't even care if he was sick or if it was still raining, he had absolutely no intention of staying the night here after that. Unfortunately with the way he was stumbling toward the door like a drunk he wasn't getting anywhere fast.
|
Yoichi sat there and stared over at Celestine after he head sat upright. He continued to look over at him, keeping quiet for now. He actually wasn't too surprised to see him glare at him like he did. He was a little surprised however when he felt Celestine's hand connect with his face. He'd felt quiet a few slaps before so it wasn't exactly anything new and he barely moved after his hand had made contact. He was likely to have a little of a red mark though, but he wasn't worried about it. He shook his head lightly. "You hit like a girl." He told him as he watched him trying to get towards the door. Seeing as Celestine was having as much trouble as he was getting anywhere he wasn't worried about him getting away. He couldn't very well let him leave even if he wanted to. He had a fever and it was still raining outside for all he knew. He shifted and threw his legs over the side of the bed before getting to his feet. "I told you I didn't want to force you to drink the water." He commented as if that was any excuse for what he'd done. He obviously had ulterior motives but in all honesty he was just using the most successful way of transferring water from one mouth to another. It barely took any time at all before he'd caught up to Celestine and his attempt at escape quickly. Rather than giving him a chance to retaliate he slipped head of him and grabbed hold of his arms just below the shoulders. "Where do you think you're going, you're sick ya' know?"
|
Once Celestine was off of the bed all of Yoichi's comments fell on dear ears. He heard him,but he didn't care to listen to a single word he said, he just wanted out of here. He was nearly to the door when Yoichi caught him, and he glared up at him with that same hateful stare when he grabbed onto him. "Let go of me!" he snapped at him, trying to jerk his arms free to no avail. Yoichi was probably physically stronger than Celestine even without him being weakened by sickness so Celestine wasn't making very much progress at all. He jerked back and then tried shoving forward again. "I said LET GO!" he hissed again, "I am not staying here or anywhere else near you!" He struggled for a another few seconds, though his struggles only made him start to couch again. After a moment he gritted his teeth together tightly and lowered his head before he glowered back up to Yoichi darkly. Celestine wasn't exactly in the most rational state at the moment and he was about ready to try anything to get away from Yoichi right now. All at once a wind picked up around them, though it seemed to center mostly around Celestine, whipping his hair out in all directions, though it caught Yoichi as well considering his close proximity. Within another second there was a sort of small explosion of what almost looked like pale green dust, though it dissipated as it fell toward the floor, leaving nothing there except for a pile of Yoichi's clothes on the floor where Celestine had been. For a moment it appeared as if Celestine had just disappeared, though a moment later the sweater started to move and a tiny jade head poked out of the neck hole of the sweater, coughing in tiny squeaks. The tiny little dragon shook his head to get the sweater off of his horn and then raised his head up to look at Yoichi again. His head was shaped with a very graceful curve to his snout, which almost resembled the head of a wolf more than a dragon, and two flowing whisker-like additions, one on each side of his face where the whiskers would have been on a dog. His two pointed ears laid back flat and then hissed at him like an angry cat, revealing his tiny sharp teeth and forked tongue before slithering as fast as he could between his legs. Celestine had been trying to transform into his true form, in spite of the lack of room in there, though he hadn't really thought about that at the time. Unfortunately...considering his current condition and how pissed off and embarrassed that he was, this was all he ended up with. Right now, he was really no bigger than your average garden snake, certainly no longer than a foot and a half in length and about an inch in diameter at best. He had no limbs at all save for the two much smaller feathery wings that adorned his back a couple of inches behind his head. His golden horn was so tiny that it was almost no longer than a large thorn. Short pale green, almost silver fur the same color as his hair covered his entire head, save his little dark green nose and then ran in a longer strands from the area just behind his horn and all the way down the center of his back to his tail where it gathered at the tip in a slightly curling mass. The rest of his body was covered in those pale green scales, save for his underbelly which was colored a shade of ivory. This was more or less a much smaller and non-poisonous version of his true form. Had he succeeded in changing entirely, he would have been a much larger version of this tinny little thing. He didn't really look threatening at all in his dragon form and most girls tended to fawn over how 'pretty' he was, even in that form, though...when he ended up shrunk down like this he did tend to get more 'awww...how cute' comments than anything. Aside from his feathery wings he did still have his other distinguishing marks. In the center of his forehead under his horn there remained three green green dots arranged in a triangle where they were in his humanoid form, and over his left eye was a single bald spot, the scar that he usually covered with his bangs, that took on a sort of star-burst shape.
|
Yoichi had no intention of letting Celestine go no matter how much he had fought or complained. He was still sick after all and there was seriously no way in hell that he was getting out of this house in his condition. He didn't actually let go of Celestine until the explosion of green dust. By that point he really had no idea what was going on and he instinctively pulled his arms back along with drawing his whole body back slightly. After a moment he glanced around rather curiously wondering where Celestine had gotten to. It too him a moment to even think to look down and once he had he stared practically dumbfounded at the pile of clothes that Celestine had been wearing. He bent over slightly when he noticed the little jade head working it's way out of the sweater and then shook his head lightly. "...That's ...a surprise..." He mumbled quietly after having gathered that was Celestine. He'd never ever known a dragon to be able to do that. Could you even call that size a dragon? He couldn't help but laugh quietly when he heard him hiss at him. He couldn't help thinking 'Ohhh so scary!' upon hearing that. His eyes widened slightly when he saw him slither quickly between his legs. "Crap! ...Where the hell do you think you're going!?" He called as he turned around and started after him. He didn't think Celestine could really get anywhere since the doors and windows to outside were all shut and with no limbs it'd be kind of hard to open anything. But still, he didn't need that little snake of a dragon slithering around the house. Knowing his father he'd probably try to kill it upon seeing because he'd assume that it was some sort of mutated snake that had infested his house.
|
Celestine wasn't phased at all by Yoichi's voice behind him, and he didn't slow at all as he made a mad dash for the kitchen so he could get back to the living room. He kept his wings folded tightly against his back as he darted across the floor. Flying would have been a lot faster and easier for him, but it also probably would have been a lot easier to catch him, too. As of now he would be a little hard to pick up even if you did get catch up to him with the way his body was moving. He was putting every obstacle that he could between him and Yoichi, sliding under all of the furniture he could manage to get under before he made it back to the living room. As soon as he was in there he was halfway through the room he opened his wings and flew straight at the door, looking for a moment as if he was going to head butt it, though at the last second he stopped, hovering in midair while he coiled around the door handle, trying his best to make it open, though he was quite obviously having difficulties. Given enough time he could get it open like this, but he almost certainly wasn't going to have the time before Yoichi got to him. He could have changed back and opened it that way, but he...really didn't want to go running out of the house naked. Unlike when he changed into his true form this smaller one didn't exactly maintain his clothing. As soon as he heard Yoichi getting closer he tightened his grip on the door handle and looked back to him again, hissing at him again and then again before he broke into those tiny, squeaking coughs again, though he was still trying to hiss at him between coughs. 'Damn it! Damn it! I told you to stay away from me! Leave me alone! I'm leaving! Pervert!' He really would have loved to be screaming all of that right about now, but if Yoichi could even understand a bit of what he was saying it probably wasn't all that clear. Quite obviously his 'voice' was nowhere near as distinguished in this form.
|
Yoichi hurried after Celestine, keeping an eye on his while he was chasing him towards the living room. He didn't even want to try and pick him up while he was moving like he was. It would almost be pointless to try because once he'd get close enough to attempt to pick him up, Celestine would likely get away and then he would have to catch up to him all over again. He huffed quietly in mild annoyance every time that Celestine had managed to slither under a piece of furniture. This was already starting to be a pain in the ass and he really did need to do something with Celestine before his father got up. If his father didn't try to kill Celestine in this snaky form than he'd probably let him outside just to get rid of him. His eyes widened again briefly when he caught sight of him actually flying and headed for the door. "Give me a break already, you can't go outside." He muttered as he neared the door. Once he was close enough he ignored Celestine's pathetic excuse for hissing that continually broke into squeaky coughing fits and placed his hand on the door, pushing it shut completely on the off chance that Celestine had tugged it free at all. "Get off the door handle." He paused. "I wouldn't let you go anywhere before what makes you think you're going anywhere now?" He shook his head lightly. "If you don't get off and go back to my room I'll just pull you off." He told him quietly. He really couldn't understand Celestine other than his hissing but it didn't take a whole lot to gather that he didn't want to be in this house any longer. It was still raining, but not as heavily as before. It sounded like it was probably a little heavier than a sprinkle. Either way he still didn't think that Celestine needed to be going outside when he had a fever like he did.
|
Celestine growled when Yoichi pushed against the door that he'd only barely gotten open. Had he not been latched onto the door handle right now he probably would have bitten him given half the chance. After all the only difference in this form was that he was lacking the glands that made him poisonous, or at least the longer fangs that injected the poison. So he could bite in this form to his little heart's content and not really hurt anyone. He hissed at him again when he told him to get off of the door handle. He didn't want to get off, he wanted to get the hell out of here and as far away from him as was physically possible at the time. He growled again when Yoichi gave him the ultimatum of get off the door or get pulled off the door. He knew well enough that Yoichi could pretty easily overpower him like this, but he was a stubborn little guy if nothing else. He tightened his grip on the handle again and tried turning it once more before looking around the living room for another escape option. Unfortunately...he didn't see one and he was getting too tired to keep this up. He looked back to Yoichi again and hissed one more time before he slowly started to uncoil from the door knob though before he realized it he had already unwound himself enough that he slipped right off and was heading straight for the floor. It seemed all he'd really accomplished on this little escape attempt was wearing himself out completely and annoying Yoichi. He really didn't care how annoyed Yoichi got with him, that was absolutely nothing compared to how humiliated he felt. One thing was for certain...Yoichi wasn't getting a bed buddy again for the remainder of the night and he had no intention of leaving this form. At least like this Yoichi couldn't kiss him.
|
Yoichi continued to stand there and wait for Celestine to get his little body unwrapped from the door handle. He sighed heavily when it didn't look like he was going to budge and he'd taken up hissing at him some more. He shook his head a little when he caught Celestine looking around the living room. "I assure you there is no where for you to go." He said as he stared down at him. The front door really was the main escape route. The only other way out that he'd probably have an easy time with was the window in his sister's old room. That just had to be unlatched and pushed open and then you were free of the house. He doubted Celestine would figure that out though. He hadn't even had a good look at the room to begin with, so he probably didn't notice the large window. Other than that window there was a back door past the kitchen but that was pretty well hidden in the room back there, again, it was doubtful that he'd find that. He glanced away for a brief moment and once he'd looked back he noticed Celestine headed straight for the floor. He moved his hand from the door and reached to grab hold of Celestine's little dragon tail and stop him from hitting the floor. He hadn't really thought about it before hand, it was just his first reaction to keep Celestine from hitting the floor. He kept his grip on his tail and started to lift his hand up above his head so that he could a better look at Celestine. "Wore yourself out, didn't you?" He paused. "...That's what you get for freaking out and trying to run away when you're sick..."
|
Celestine yipped when Yoichi grabbed onto his tail and left him dangling in the air. He twisted his body upward a little to look at Yoichi and then ruffled his feathers angrily when he told him that was what he got for freaking out. What in the hell did he expect him to do after that? As soon as he felt himself being lifted he fell back down again so that he was hanging vertically in the air with only his head facing upward. He hissed at him again and then without much warning he struck out at his nose and clamped on tightly. His teeth weren't all that long, though they were sharp. Unfortunately for him, they weren't even enough to break the skin so at best Yoichi was probably just feeling a very uncomfortable pinch. He growled again quietly while he held on and seemed pretty willing to clamp down harder if need be. The only problem with this little set up was that he wasn't really hurting Yoichi all that much and Yoichi could get away easily...but he'd probably hurt Celestine more in the process. His teeth weren't all that strong in this form, just like everything else, and it wouldn't take a whole lot of force to just yank them out on his mouth.
|
Yoichi flinched a little at first when Celestine had clamped down on his nose. He had expected it to hurt and was pleasantly surprised to feel nothing more than an annoying pinch. He gave a relieved sigh and stared down at Celestine at the end of his nose for a moment. He didn't bother saying anything, mostly because this little action from Celestine was enough to tell him that speaking to the little dragon was a bit pointless. He didn't even bother trying to remove Celestine from his nose instead he kept a hold of his tail and then started walking through the living room, into the kitchen and then down the hall to his room again. Once he was back inside his room he made a point to close the door this time. He had a sneaking suspicion that Celestine could probably get that open if he really wanted but at least it would slow him down a little. Now that he was back in his room with the door securely shut he released Celestine's tail. "...Okay ...you're wasting your time, that doesn't hurt. It's just annoying. Now let go of my nose." He told him before staring down his nose at him for a moment.
|
Celestine was not thrilled at all with being carried back to Yoichi's room, and he was trying his damnedest to let him know it. The hole way he was tightening his grip and growling quietly at him, even up until the door was closed. Once he finally released his tail he opened his wings, flapping them rapidly so that he could hover in the air rather than hang by his teeth, though he was tired and hovering was a lot of work. Finally he let go, though not because Yoichi had told him to. He growled again and then started to descend back to the floor again slowly. As soon as he touched he floor he just coiled around himself and laid his head on his side, coughing again quietly. He really had worn himself out, quite obviously. He wanted to leave, but he was too tired to go through all of this again, and his head was hurting more now than it had been before. So long as Yoichi didn't touch him again he was too tired to put up any more of a fight to get out of the room, though he wasn't against biting Yoichi again if he got too close. He really hadn't helped himself out at all on this one. Now he was sick, exhausted, and stuck in a tiny helpless form in a place that he really didn't want to be on top of all of that. What could possibly happen next?

Yoichi lifted his hand up to rub his nose gently once Celestine had finally let go. He continued to rub it while glancing down at Celestine on the floor. Seeing as he curled in on himself as soon as he made it to the floor it was pretty obvious how tired he was. At least that made him feel a little better. If he was tired then he didn't think he had to worry about him trying to escape the room right away. He thought about going and getting back in bed now that things seemed to have calmed down but before that he wanted to pick up the clothes that Celestine had been so nice as to leave on the floor after changing into this kind of cute looking little dragon form. He stepped over to the pile of clothes and knelt down to pick them up. If anything he didn't care for too much of a mess in his room and if Celestine wasn't going to use the clothes right now then there was no need for them to be laying on the floor. Now that he was thinking about it he needed to do something with the stuff Celestine had left on the floor in the living room. His things weren't taking up very much room against the wall near the door but they still weren't supposed to be there. He sighed softly and moved over to the door, placing his hand on the knob before glancing back at Celestine. "...I'll be back. Don't go anywhere." He told him before slipping out into the hall and closing the door tightly behind him. He proceeded to head straight to the living room and over to the front door. He scooped up Celestine's clothes and grabbed the belt with the blades while he was at it. No need for his father to go messing with those. They were kind of interesting and he wouldn't be surprised for them to go missing once his father spotted them. After he had everything picked up he started back to the kitchen, walking straight across it to an easily over looked door that looked like a pair of shutters that folded open. He opened the door and stepped inside to a small room with a door that lead out to the back of the house. They mostly used this room to wash clothes and whatnot. For now he moved over to the shelf that was in the room and reached up to an open area almost near the top and set Celestine's clothes and the blades down before turning and tossing the other clothes in the hamper. If Celestine needed something to wear again he'd just have to ask. Now that he was finished taking care of that he left the small room making sure to close the door behind him and then returned to the bedroom. He slipped inside, keeping an eye on the floor as he entered on the off chance that Celestine had moved and was looking for an opening to escape.

Celestine huffed and glanced up to Yoichi again when he told him that he would be right back. 'By all means...take your bloody time...' he thought as he looked away from him again. He wasn't in any hurry to do anything, though he would love to make a break for it while Yoichi was out of the room. He didn't like having the door closed, but he had kind of gathered that Yoichi either wasn't listening to or didn't understand a word he said, so he didn't bother saying anything. It was just before he started to close the door that he realized that he was taking the clothes that he'd been wearing before with him. His eyes widened and he looked up quickly, calling after him in a shrill whine. 'Hey! Don't take those, I need something to put back on later! Hey! HEY! ....Oh deceitful deities...you moron!' He growled quietly at the closed door and then finally just laid back down again and curled up again. He closed his eyes again while trying to suppress another small coughing fit. He glanced up again when he heard the door opening again, but he didn't bother to move other than to curl in on himself a little more. As much as he would love to cause Yoichi hell and try to find another way out of here, he was far too tired after the first run. Even if he could get outside he would still be stuck in this form for a while and he honestly couldn't even say for certain that he could make it back to the other island like this with as tired as he was. He glared at Yoichi for a minute and then sneezed again before he rubbed his nose against his side as if trying to scratch it. After a moment he just went right back to resting his head on his side with a huff.

Yoichi looked down at Celestine for a moment once he was back in the room, not entirely surprised to see that he hadn't moved since he left the room. He was more than ready to get back in bed for a little while. He hadn't expected to be awake this long but he guessed he couldn't really complain. He started over to the bed, though he didn't get in it just yet. Instead he snatched the pillow that Celestine had been using off of the bed and headed back to where Celestine was laying. He tossed the pillow down on the floor just ahead of Celestine. He figured since the guy was going to rest on the floor he may as well lay on a pillow. That was at least more comfortable than the floor. He stood there for a moment thinking that Celestine may not bother to get on the pillow. He sighed and then reached down as quickly as he possibly could and grabbed hold of Celestine right behind his head, so he couldn't bite his hand and then picked him up and set him on the pillow before releasing him. It didn't hurt when Celestine bit him while he was in this form but it was still annoying and a little uncomfortable so he didn't really want to be bitten if it could be avoided. "...Try and get some sleep." He told him quietly before he turned and headed back towards his bed so that he could get in it and hopefully go back to sleep for a little while.

Celestine cracked one eye open when the pillow landed in front of him and then sighed quietly. He didn't feel like moving right this minute, though he would probably get on it a little later. So long as he wasn't in the bed with Yoichi, he didn't care where he slept. He had just closed his eye again when Yoichi decided to pick him up again. As soon as Yoichi touched him, both eyes snapped open and he flailed slickly, hissing at him again. He really would have bitten him again if he had been able to get a hold of him. He did at least stop flailing once he was laying on the pillow, though he did give Yoichi another disgruntled hiss after he let him go. Obviously there was going to be no playing nice with him after that, at least not for a while. He was almost too embarrassed to even look at Yoichi and the thought of him pressed his lips against his just made him shudder. Fever or not he was ready to go home and put up with Kanone or Marius over this. Finally he did curl up again on top of the pillow, laying again with his head rested on his side while Yoichi went back to bed, though he wasn't really trying to go to sleep. He didn't plan to move, but if he fell asleep again it was more than likely going to be an accident.

Yoichi didn't bother looking over at Celestine again once he'd gotten back to the bed. After all the fuss that Celestine was putting up he really wanted nothing more than go to back to sleep for awhile. He wasted very little time fluffing up his pillow and getting under the blanket once he was on the bed. He laid down on his side and snuggled into his pillow. It really didn't take very long for him to fall back asleep, even with all the commotion before he returned to bed. He was asleep for a couple hours more at least. He didn't really want to wake up but he knew he needed to get up. He did still have to go into the training building today or else Hisako was liable to show up here and complain about him being late and or still being in bed. He rolled over so that he was facing the edge of the bed and started to sit himself up but caved half way through the motion and got comfortable again on the bed. He managed to lay there for maybe another fifteen minutes before he finally talked himself into getting out of the bed. He sat up and tossed his legs over the edge of the bed before climbing to his feet and then looked over at the floor where the pillow was to see if Celestine was still there.

Celestine lay there silently through the rest of the night, falling in and out of sleep. He really was still tired and not really getting to feel much better as the night went on, though thankfully he didn't really fell much worse either. He had debated on trying to get out of the house a few times, but he didn't really have anything in here to put on and he wasn't about to go streaking through the house naked to get to his clothes in the living room. By the time Yoichi woke up he was still curled up on the pillow where he had been left with his eyes closed, though his ears were perked up and turned in his direction. He wasn't asleep and he knew that Yoichi was getting up again. After a moment he raised his head and looked at him before laying it back down again. It would be easier to just wait until the door was open to get out there and look for his clothes...then maybe he could drag them back there or something to put them back on. It had to be morning by now and he honestly didn't think Yoichi had the right to keep him here any longer since it was now morning and it sounded like it had stopped raining, or at least come down to a light drizzle.
