Blood Love

Healing Bruises

Pairing: Nanami/Tsumiki
Warning: Injury (nonserious)

"W- wait!" I yell, pulling Chiaki away from the edge of the pool, trying to keep her from falling in. She's playing video games as always, not looking where she's going. But instead of just pulling her away from the pool, I made her fall on top of me.

"I- I'm sorry!! Please forgive me, Nanami!" I squeal, my face turning redder than a tomato. "It's okay," she says, setting her game down for once and helping me up, "And please, call me Chiaki." She bends down to pick up her game.

"Oh!" I exclaim, "S- sorry Nanam- Chiaki." I clasp my hands together. She laughs sweetly, "You don't have to apologize so much, Mikan." "O- oh. Sorr- Oh," I stutter, not knowing what to say. I notice her sleeve had been pushed up and the fall had caused her arm to get scratched. "Oh! Chiaki!" I exclaim.

She looks up again, looking at the injury, and wincing slightly, "Ouch." "D- does it hurt?" I ask in a panic. "Not too much," she says. "W- we need to get you to the hospital!" I say, becoming more confident. I pick her up bridal style, going as fast as I can without dropping her. I almost didn't notice her face getting flushed when I picked her up.

"You don't need to carry me, Mikan," she says as we cross the bridge to the island with the hospital. "You're injured!" I say confidently. "It's just my arm," she mutters. We finally get to the entrance of the hospital. I carry Chiaki into the first room and set her down on the bed.

"H- hold out your arm," I say, my confidence going down now that we aren't in an urgent situation. Chiaki pushes up her sleeve all the way and holds out her arm for me to treat. The scrape isn't that bad, but without proper medical treatment, it could get infected. Good thing I'm a nurse.

I disinfect the wound, which she winces a bit at, and wrap her arm with a white bandage from the cabinet. "There! All done!" I say, giggling. Chiaki smiles at me sweetly. "D- does it feel better?" I ask.

"Yeah!" she says, pulling her sleeve back down, "Thank you for healing me!" She leans forwards and kisses me on the cheek. I gasp, my face turning red. "You can give me a kiss on the cheek too if you want," she says, her face a bit pink. "R- really?" I ask. She nods, and I lean forward to kiss her cheek.

Chiaki smiles, blushing, "We should probably go back for my console. I think I dropped it back there."

"Oh, s- sorry," I say. "It's okay," she said, "There's no need to apologize. You were just trying to take care of me."

She takes my hand, and we both start walking
back to the pool area.
