FUCKING HELL— I'M going to batter Neo the next time I get my hands on him.
"Fuck me." The groan barely had a chance to leave my mouth before I clutched my nose.
The pain thrumming over the site had me clenching my eyes shut. I bent over as if it would ease the pangs jumping over my face ( it didn't ).
"Shit! Kaede you alright?"
I sensed, more than heard, Neo rush over to me. I couldn't even voice my dissent as something warm and wet poured on the palm I had against my nose. The sensation confirmed whatever had happened to be pretty bad and pushed me to speak.
"What does it look like, you knob?" The words left me void of anger, the pain from breathing through my nose causing me whisper.
It hurts so much.
"I'm sorry." I wasn't in the right headspeace to register him fiddling with his locket. "Let me have a look at it?"
I was about to give in when I noticed the silence that had descended over the room. The others had stopped practicing quick passes too to watch.
This is not how I wanted our first practice to go.
I felt like I only had a few seconds to reassure them before they all headed over. Despite the urge to crawl up into a ball and wait the pain out, I straightened up and lowered my hand. It soon formed into a fist as a distraction from the stabbing spreading over my face.
"I'm fine, Neo." The lie slipped through gritted teeth.
He didn't listen to me regardless and stepped closer. "Your nose is bleeding."
Now he pointed it out, I couldn't ignore the prickling to my eyes or the taste of iron on the back of my tongue. All I wanted to do was keel over till the ache subsided. But I couldn't, I was captain.
"That's why we don't pass balls at people who say don't." Each sentence worsened the pain in my head but maybe that was because of how hard I was clenching my jaw.
He had the decency to look sheepish and I was glad he'd stopped looking at my face so closely.
"Are you okay Captain?"
I had to turn my head slowly in Liam's direction to overcome a dizzy spell. By it alone, I knew I couldn't carry on practice in this state. Inwardly, I groaned as I pressed my hand to my nose to hide the blood I could feel trickling down my lip.
"Just a nosebleed. I'll head up to the Hospital Wing to get it checked out. You guys carry on practicing alright? I should be back soon, it shouldn't take long."
Clearly Liam didn't believe me as his gaze skimmed the bloody cracks between my fingers. I threw a sharp look at Neo.
He got the hint to speak up. "Yeah, K isn't a newb to nosebleeds, he can handle it."
