LITTLE FELIS
Consequence
"Ouw!"
"Hold it for a moment."
"Ouw, ouw… OUW!"
Ven pulled his hand back swiftly, cringing at the sensation of ethanol making contact with freshly-opened flesh.
"Wait," Namine said, "I still need to put some band-aids to those cuts. It'll be bad if we don't treat them. Come here. Give me your hand."
Ven looked at the girl in front of him for a moment, frowning childishly as he searched for any kinds of hidden threat on her face. When he found any, he sighed and let her treated his wounds silently.
"Sorry about that."
Ven looked up. "About what?"
"About Roxas scratching you," she said as she applied band-aids to his cuts. "I know it's not very nice of him, but Roxas isn't usually like that."
"Oh, yeah," he said, scratching his head in remembrance at how the cat had attacked him unannounced as soon as he saw him. "He does seem to not like me very much. Did I do something?"
Namine shook her head. "No, it's not that. Roxas is just quite protective toward me. That's all." Applying another band-aid to her boyfriend's arm, she continued, "It's not that I dislike it, but I wish he wouldn't hurt you."
Ven didn't say anything and instead of answering, he only looked at her, letting the silence stepped in between them. It was him who broke the silence not long after.
"You don't need to worry about me, Namine. I'm feeling just fine, see? It's no big deal," he assured. "And anyway," he lifted a hand and put it on Namine's cheek, "these scratches might be hurt, but it's worth the while because I can be with you."
After saying that with a smile, Ven leaned his head closer, touched his lips to hers, and ki—
"HISSS!"
… … ….
"Nam."
"Yeah?"
"Please remind me not to kiss you in front of Roxas because he's chomping my butt right now."
