Diabolik Lovers: Recovery

Chapter 20: Embarassingly Helpless (Shuu, Subaru)

[Warnings: slight NSFW? Sort of? Idk.]

"Miyako... hey... hey... do you think she'll wake up?"

"Her heart is beating steadily, you can hear it just as well as I can. Worry more about when the others wake up. She's still giving off a strong scent."

"W-well... I don't know how to fix that for her without... y-you know."

"Changing her tampon? Were you really thinking of doing that? Nasty pervert."

"N-No!"

"Obviously she needs to do it more frequently, even if you've got to wake her up. Ugh, what a troublesome woman..."

"Shuu, Subaru," I groaned out, my mouth too dry. "Wh-what happened?"

"Finally," Subaru muttered and I felt a hand on my forehead. "She's so hot though... that can't be normal for humans."

"No, but get her up, she needs to fix the problem at hand."

"Right," I muttered, struggling just to open my eyes. They felt so heavy. "I'm going..."

Shuu was laid out beside me on the bed, Subaru sitting up at the edge by my waist. Both were watching me as I unsteadily sat up. All of my body ached and although I was sure that they'd healed me with their saliva, it probably had been a slow process. We appeared to be in Shuu's room. Subaru's coffin probably wasn't the best place to put me after all.

"I-I've brought your stuff over here," Subaru said uncomfortably, but leaned in when I swayed precariously on the spot and grasped my elbow. "Here, I'll get you to the bathroom."

"Subaru, what happened?" I asked, my throat dry.

"We tracked you to Kanato's creepy-ass room then pried him off of you," he said, gritting his teeth. "You were nearly drained by the time we got to you..."

"O-oh," I muttered as Subaru held me uncertainly in the middle of the bathroom.

"S-so... er..."

"I'll figure it out," I said softly, reaching for a wall.

"You're going to get blood on everything," Shuu muttered appearing beside us. "I'll draw up a bath. You help her."

"Oi you can-"

"Shut up and grow up."

"It's embarrassing for me too," I muttered softly, staring at the floor. The weakness of my body made me feel so insecure. All of my limbs felt dry and stick thin as if they couldn't support even a leaf. "I can't even take care of myself."

"L-let's just..."

He held me gingerly as I tended to my womanly needs, his face as crimson as a rose. Delicate little Subaru, but then again, I was just as embarrassed if not more. When I was finished, he ordered me to strip naked, but resolutely refused to look at my body even though he was carrying me. A pool of bloodstained clothes trailed in our wake.

Shuu looked over as we approached, running a hand through my hair then looking into my face with gentle blue eyes. He took me from Subaru and lowered me into the water. It was warm and the bubbles frothed up around my cheeks, swathing me in warmth.

"I'll wash her body," Shuu said, sighing as Subaru grew impossibly more red at the sight of me submerged. "Do her hair since you seem incapable of being mature..."

Shuu removed his shirt, Subaru mirroring him rather uncertainly in the next second. If my eyes weren't so heavy-lidded, they would have widened, but I was able to observe to my heart's content.
