Chance and luck tavros x reader chpt 2

You are getting antsy by the time a few nights have passed by, fidgeting about in your recuperacoon and getting bored out of your mind. You are trying to take it easy, for Kanaya's sake, but you just can't handle the quiet. Most of your bruises have already faded from the accident, and without the discomfort of them to keep you still you find yourself constantly shifting from pent up energy, needing a distraction. Kanaya has been witness to nearly every hour of your disquiet, and finally takes pity on you, deciding you are fit enough to move around if you have that much liveliness.

"Perhaps ____ It Is Time To Find You An Instructor To Teach You How Move Around. Before You Harm Yourself Any Further Than The Bruises You Still Have." You look up at her, pulling yourself out of the slime as much as you can with your stiff metal limb.

"And who would that be? No one-" You gasp, comprehending her thoughts before she can speak them aloud. "It's Tavros, isn't it? But he's only just learned how to walk around in his own legs!" Kanaya comes over to help lift you from the slime, and assists in cleaning you off as well.

"Yet He Does Have More Experience Than You Do And He Has The Patient Temperament Ideal For Instructing You."

"Well, I suppose so. If it will get me moving sooner..." She helps you to dress in an unfamiliar outfit, a shirt of your favorite color of soft cloth and a matching skirt. Likely something she snuck in here to dress you up in. Oh, Kanaya, always wanting to play with your wardrobe...

"Excellent. I Will Go Retrieve Him For You Then, And Soon Enough You Will Be Walking As Good As New." She sits you down at your computer desk and you wait until she leaves before curling up on the chair and giving in to your sudden desire for self-pity.

You don't want to be "good as new," you want to be your old self again. As much as you love your moirail she just doesn't understand how difficult it has been for you to adapt to losing your leg. You can still FEEL it. And how weird is that? You have tried explaining multiple times to her just how freaked out you are by the accident, but after seeing how difficult the subject was for her to grasp you stopped trying, putting up your usual stubborn façade and hoping to accept the truth of what had happened to you, and to persuade yourself that you are okay with it.

But you are having an awfully hard time of convincing yourself...

You chance a glance in the mirror across the room, allowing yourself a glimpse of yourself for the first time since the accident. The figure reflected there looks just as she always has, and for a moment you feel as if you are looking at a stranger. Tears well into your eyes, and your reflection gives you an expression of sorrow. You close your eyes against the sympathy in her countenance, not willing to see your emotions so directly displayed yet, and hide your face in your arms...

An hour later you look up from your self-pity as Kanaya walks back in, the brown blooded troll right behind her. He looks at you shyly. Perhaps in empathy for your situation? He would know how it feels, after all, to lose a limb. You wave, looking hopefully at him that he might be someone who you could discuss this with without becoming frustrated and hurt.

"uH, hEY _____, hOW ARE YOU FEELING? i MEAN, wELL, tHAT WAS A STUPID QUESTION, WASN'T IT? sO i GUESS i MEANT, aRE YOU ALRIGHT? aND, uH, yEAH, i'M PROBABLY JUST,,, gOING TO STOP TALKING NOW,,," He looks away, rubbing the back of his neck as a chocolate blush tinges his cheeks.

You give him a small laugh in sympathy. "No, it's alright. I might not feel my best, but I'm better than I could have been."

"wELL i SUPPOSE, uM, tHAT'S TRUE," Tavros laughs back, grateful you are not teasing him for his blunder.

"____," Kanaya interrupts, "I Hate To Leave You Alone So Unexpectedly But I Have Some Important Errands I Must See To Which I Have Neglected For The Past Few Days. Will You Be Alright Here Without Me For A While? I Will Leave Your Husktop Nearby So You Can Contact Me In Case Of An Emergency."
