Let Me
Drabble 6: Slippery Walk
By: Kigen
Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare, version 2.0. RenLyserg. Fluffy angst romance.
And Hao was supposed to be Itachi in the past chapter. Sorry. I make typos people, I make them a lot.
Disclaimer: Ren does rescue Lyserg a lot. Carries him about quite a bit too. And that adorable scene where Ren is holding Lyserg's unconscious body bridal style… Still not enough saving and such for Shaman King to be mine.
:-:-:-:-:
The walkway was slick with ice, making it hard for Lyserg to keep his balance. He had already fallen painfully onto his rear a few times already.
Finally, he got to the steep steps that lead up to the back porch of his and Ren's shared house. The front door was broken, and couldn't be opened from the outside. And Lyserg didn't want to bother Ren by making him come let him in when Ren didn't want him to go out in this weather anyways.
He clung to the rail as he gingerly made his way up the steps. His gloved hand reached out to turn the knob and open the door, when his foot slipped out from under him.
With a surprised cry, Lyserg tumbled down the slick steps and landed in the snow. His body throbbing slightly, he sat up and figured he wasn't too hurt.
Until he tried to stand once again.
Lyserg let out a sharp cry as his ankle gave out. The joint throbbed and hurt.
The dowser was aware of the thudding of hurried footsteps. The back door was thrown open, and light was cast upon him.
Lyserg looked up. Seeing Ren's face, he looked down at the snow, ashamed with himself.
The dowser gasped softly with surprise when he was lifted and carried up the stairs.
Something that Ren did easily, without falling.
"Idiot" Ren muttered as he set Lyserg down on the couch. "Why didn't you just knock on the front door and have me answer?"
"I didn't want to bother you." Lyserg said softly, helping Ren strip him of his damp sweater.
Ren sighed, muttering in Chinese. Cursing his stupidity, Lyserg supposed.
He didn't fight when Ren pulled off his socks, and rolled up his pant leg to examine the damage. He only squirmed a bit when Ren bandaged it, because he was very ticklish.
"Stupid." Ren muttered again, brushing his lips against Lyserg's forehead.
"I'm sorry." Lyserg whispered, not meeting Ren's eyes.
Ren sighed, and took Lyserg to bed.
"I know."
:-:-:-:-:
Sad fluff. The next drabble has to do with fluff and Ren and tails. Be warned, for the next few drabbles, Lyserg shall be a happy, normal boy, and not the angst little uke boy we all know and love… I think the lack of caffeine and sugar is getting to me.
Thank you for reading, and review please.
Ja min'na-san!
