3- Patching each other up
This one took a while...I hope you like it! Thank you for reviewing!
Nya grunted as she pushed the needle through the tear in her shirt. Sewing wasn't really her forte, but Misako wasn't here and Nya wanted her favorite shirt back. Now.
When she finally pushed the tiny, metal stick through the fabric, she used one finger to push it up, unaware that her other finger was right under the surface of where the needle would push up.
"Ow!" She yelled, throwing the needle on the shirt, and inspecting her finger. It was bleeding a little bit. Rolling her eyes at her own clumsiness, she went to get a bandage. She placed it on her finger and gave it a small pat.
She forgot about her injury when Cole came stumbling in, cursing and bleeding. His arm was covered in blood, and he had a large gash on his bicep. Nya was immediately at his side and asking him what happened.
"Ummf...we...we were training, then Kai shoved me and I fell onto a pointy rock."
Nya scowled as she guided Cole to her room. She made him sit on her bed, and he watched her as she gathered a few materials. Once she found what she needed, she dumped everything onto the bed, then she went to grab some clean towels. She hopped on the bed next to him and then inspected his wound. Her fingers gently curled around his elbow, moving it towards her.
"it's pretty deep," she stated, digging a flashlight out from the pile. She clicked it on, then peered inside the gash. She bit her lip. "It looks like there's still pieces of rock in there. I'm gonna have to get them out before I sterilize the wound." She found a pair of metal tweezers and rubbed them with an antiseptic wipe.
"This is going to hurt, but you're gonna have to stay still."
Cole sighed as Nya set the tweezers onto a paper towel and put her hand on his good bicep. He looked at her.
"Do it." He said.
She nodded and moved the supplies to her desk, instructing Cole to lie down. He obeyed, then he extended his wounded arm on the bed. Nya came over, holding the tweezers.
"i'll hold your arm down." She said, positioning her hand with the tweezers over his wound, then she planted her other arm over his, and pressed her weight onto his arm. She took a deep breath.
"Don't watch this." She said. Cole glued his eyes on her face, but the scoop neck tank top she was wearing forced his gaze on her chest.
Nya rolled her eyes, and blushed at where his gaze had settled. He only smiled.
Nya seized his distraction as an opportunity, then she gently lowered the tweezers into his bicep. He hissed, and his arm tensed, but he didn't move. Carefully and slowly, she picked out the small chunks of rock and set them on the paper towel.
When she finished, she dropped the tweezers onto the paper towel. Cole sighed in relief along with Nya.
"Now, I'm going to sterilize it." She found a bottle of clear liquid, then poured a tiny bit into the wound. It sizzled in his flesh, then it settled into his tissue.
"Okay, now to stitch it closed." She grabbed a needle and began stitching.
Cole managed to pry his gaze off of her chest and on her face.
"Do you do this often?" He asked.
"Yeah. You'd be surprised how many times I've had to do this in my lifetime." A small smile tugged on her lips, like she was reliving an old memory.
His gaze shifted to her hands, which were moving fluidly along the length of his arm. Her soft fingertips danced along his skin as she stitched.
"There," she said, petting his arm, "all better."
Cole looked up at her with lazy eyes. "Thank you, Nurse Nya. Do I get a lollipop?"
Nya giggled. "No. But you do get this," she pecked him on the cheek,
"That's even better than a lollipop!" Cole said mischievously.
She placed her hands on his neck and titled his chin up with her thumbs.
"You are beautiful." Cole whispered.
She bit her lip and smiled. "You are, too."
He lifted her hand off of his neck and inspected the tiny bandage on her finger. He looked up at her, eyes laced with concern.
"I pricked myself when i was sewing."
She giggled when he gave her sad puppy eyes. He gently kissed the tip of her finger.
"All better?" He asked, holding her hand to his chest.
She nodded and leaned in for another kiss.
