Orange Healing - Ginta Hakkaku

Day 9: Part 2 - Orange/Healing (Ginta/Hakkaku)


Ginta winced as Hakkaku cleaned the wound on his arm. It wasn't anything too serious, the gokurakuchou that grabbed him hadn't been focused on hurting him as it was on taking him bad to get eaten. Still, the injury had hurt, and with the healers so focused on others that were worse off - especially their stubborn leader who tried to get them to focus on everyone else first - Hakkaku had taken it upon himself to help patch up the other wolf.

It wasn't too common that they'd end up in this position. To be fair, the gokurakuchou hadn't been too dangerous until recently, so that was one reason. But they usually always stuck beside one another, and Kouga's leadership had usually kept everyone safe. Both of them trust Kouga and would have put their lives on the line for him if needed. They'd even put their lives on the line for Kagome, since she was definitely one of them now. But they hadn't realized something. Something that became painfully clear.

They both were willing to do that.

Ginta and Hakkaky knew how pack worked, and they knew that everyone was willing to protect each other. But neither of them liked the idea that the other would be willing to throw away their life for someone else. Of course both of them had the words they wanted to say stuck in their throat, because the other would just accuse them of hypocrisy for telling them to value their life over someone else's. But that was something that they understood as well.

For wolves, those that you loved meant more to you than anything.

Especially when it was those you loved in a romantic way.
