Pairing: Established Kezuru x Cratch.
Summary:
Kezuru's sensitive injury earns Cratch's insensitive indifference.
"Do they still hurt?"
Kezuru wagged his head up and down against his loft bed, looking more like he was ironing the plaid sheets with his face. He thought he'd given himself the necessary time to recover, but as he was experiencing belatedly, the aftereffects from a dancing disco ball hitting him in the balls hit back twice as hard.
This must've been how it felt to be in the way of Balloonya's Gigant Cat Punch.
The stretches Kezuru did had offset the throbbing…right up to when he returned home after wrapping things up with Tento64.
Cratch found Kezuru in his room, stooped over a bag of ice at the most hilarious of declines.
It stung so bad Kezuru didn't care how awkward it looked.
A good boyfriend would get involved.
A good boyfriend would dote on him until he was better.
Cratch was good at a lot of things in Kezuru's opinion. Just not about this.
"You injure your butt. You injure your 'nads. God, really, Kezuru! One more injury and you're officially not a man!"
He wasn't showing Kezuru the sympathy you'd hope a friend would show a friend in pain. Cratch's comments featured dashes of poison, a rude disconnect for the dude who looked how blue cotton candy would look if blue cotton candy were a person.
Unless you're Kezuru, don't trust the poofy bird on the water's surface! It was standing on a deadly croc!
"Can you grab me a new bag of ice out of the fridge, Cratch?"
"I rather watch you grab it, hm-hm-hm!"
"Ughhh…I can't move…"
"Tell me where you got those Mazica, and I'll be open to grabbing you your ice."
Apart from everything else, Cratch wanted to know where Kezuru got Balloonya and Fukulock! He'd been interested (try jealous) ever since he saw them in Kezuru's Mazica Book!
Mazin he'd never read about? Unbelievable!
"What, what, what? Seriously? You're bribing me?" Kezuru gasped.
He couldn't well expose to Cratch he was a wizard! And Balloonya and Fukulock were right there! Though Cratch couldn't see them…
Cratch drew an M on Kezuru's arm with Kezuru's Mazica Gear.
"That or admit I'm the best MAZICA PARTY player and you have no odds of beating me."
"N-n-n-no way!"
