# 27- Blood
It had been such a nice day. Not a cloud in the sky and the breeze had been light. She thought it would be one of those days that she could truly enjoy and just relax with her companions. She hated how with every good event came a nightmare not too far behind.
It all had happened so fast. She didn't even have time to think. Why couldn't he just be careful? Why could he just consider the dangers and consequences before jumping in head first? Didn't he know that bad things could always happen?
She was trying so hard, fighting with all her might. She didn't think she had ever been this passionate about something in her life, but now she was. She was never going to let it end like this. She just couldn't.
He looked vulnerable, but even now his cockiness was showing through just as bright as ever. He had always been so strong. He was invincible in her eyes. Yet, his blood soaking her hands was proof enough that he wasn't some superhuman with incredible powers. He was mortal just like everyone else and that was the hardest thing for her to accept.
She was angry and scared. She was trembling and crying. He only snorted at her even though the act caused him to wince.
"Stop crying! I'm not…gonna die over some tiny wound a… cowardly worm gave me."
She trembled even more as blood dripped down the side of his cheek from within his mouth. Why was he so stubborn?
"J-just be q-quiet!" Her choked sob was hardly intimidating. He could tell that she was struggling as she fought desperately to keep him there. Why? What had he ever done for her to deserve such devotion? He would never understand her.
He groaned out in pain, his blood spilling continuously on the graveled floor. The agony that came with the result of his stupidity was laughable. She had been right yet again about being cautious. How he hated it when she was right. Carefully her hands pressed against his wound as she tried even harder to return his body to normal.
He watched her tears fall and made a mental note that he didn't like it. If he lived through this, he would make sure she never cried again. At least not over him like this. He smirked with his regular scowl. Her face was so much prettier with a smile.
A/N: Ah, so that's all. So short and sloppy. Too OOC? Well I don't care. I like it anyways, but your comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Enjoy.
