Alpheratz - Sleep After Injury.

Alpheratz - Sleep after injury.

First writing ^^

He noticed it. The way you were subtly limping after the mission, your hands faintly trembling, and your eyes occasionally squinting and wincing in pain. Alpheratz looks over at you, your pale skin an obvious, blazing red flag. Before he could say anything, you were stumbling, about to sprawl onto the ground. Shutting your eyes and bracing for impact, you surprisingly didn't feel the rough dirt. He swiftly moved, catching you with one arm. "I got you… Shit, you're bleeding." He notices the wound on the side of your back and grumbles before pulling you against him and lowering you to the ground. "Stay still." Alpheratz murmurs, his voice softer now as he makes sure you're awake and conscious. He looks at the severity of the wound- it isn't too bad, but it looks like it's a pain in the ass to move with. "Just.. damn.." He starts, but his thoughts wander, looking up at the sky. It's turning dark, and while you aren't far from Contell, you aren't exactly close either. He grumbles again, taking off his coat and draping it on you, wrapping it around you for comfort while he pulls out his book. Purple magic filled the air, sparkly and glittery but faint enough to see the oncoming night sky. beginning to cast a healing spell on your injury. While the two of you waited for the spell to mend the wound, he was frowning, his mind obviously somewhere else. When you called out his name, Alpheratz looks back down at you and sighs. "You're so stubborn. I told you to stay behind me.." He frowns, a faint look of guilt on his face as if he regrets allowing you to get hurt. You quickly comfort him, telling him it's not his fault. He inhales and exhales, finishing the spell. Once it's complete, he lifts you up onto your feet. "Does it feel any better?" He asks, and when you nod, he hesitates for a moment before picking you up bridal style. When you try to bashfully protest he quickly cuts you off with a small smile, looking ahead. "I cant risk you getting yourself any more hurt, Summoner. Spica would have my head.." He huffs the last part as he continues to walk down the path as the sun sets, keeping you firmly in his arms. ~ Once the two of you got back to Contell, instead of taking you to your room, Alpheratz took you back to his. It'd be easier to see if the injury had any side effects, since it was a rift on a bigger scale than they'd faced before. The time wasn't so late that sorcerers were starting to come back yet, so it wasn't an issue having to explain to anyone why he was carrying you, wrapped up in his jacket. It would've been a pain if they had been. Approaching the door, he bends over a little, fumbling with the doorknob and trying to not to drop or jostle you from your dozed off state. Using his foot, he pushes open the door, then once he's in he shuts it with his back. Once he's in the room, you're carefully set down on the bed and covered with a blanket. It felt nicely heavy and soft- it was definitely one of his special napping blankets. Before you try to tell him you're okay, he quickly plopped down onto the bed with a sigh, ruffling your hair. "Hm? What's the harm in taking a rest for a bit. You got injured after all- a nap won't hurt." His tired face slowly contorts into a soft smile as he looks down at you, just before you drift off to sleep. "Goodnight, Summoner."
