The Giant

Chapter 6

Dempsey stormed off as you turned your back to him to face Takeo.
You were pissed off to say the least. First he interrupts an awesomely intimate moment that you and Takeo were having and then he has the audacity to start a fight with him! And not only that but he claims that you're his girl... 'I'm sorry but when did I ever agree to this?! Sure he's absolutely gorgeous and we got along well but he has no right to make my decisions for me.' Grr. Ok, mental rant over, need to see if Tak's ok...

You walked over to a groaning Takeo on the floor next to the Pack-a-Punch door. The closer you got to his injured body the worse his nose looked. You also noticed that he also had red hand marks on his neck from when The American Psycho first got a hold of him. 'Oh Tak I hope you're ok...' You weren't completely sure why you were so worried about Tak, seeing as he was the reason your head was now bleeding... Maybe it's coz he's shown actual affection to you instead of just staring at you *cough Richtofen cough* or maybe it's coz you shared your first ever kiss with him not too long ago... Either way you were worried about him and how much agony he appears to be in, especially for a samurai warrior.

You knelt down beside him and put a reassuring hand on his arm as an attempt to calm him down. He tensed up slightly as you did this, probably because he's not sure if the hand is from you being reassuring or if Dempsey had come back to finish him off. He slowly turned his head to see the perfect face he had longed to see ever since you first met a couple of hours ago. He tried to force a smile to hint that he's ok, but it failed as his nose shot pain through his face at any facial movement. You frowned, you never liked seeing people suffer, especially ones you had suddenly grown feelings for. "We'll take you back to Richtofen to see if he can do anything about your nose... Now don't give me that look! I know he's slightly insane but he's a doctor and you're his ally so there is no reason why he shouldn't at least try and help." You stated the last part firmly to emphasize your point that the Doc will help, whether he likes it or not. Takeo groaned and tried to get up, only to have your hand gripping his arm as a form of support. He gladly took this offer and slowly used your arm to stand up, careful not to put too much weight on you as he feared you would shatter like glass if he squeezed too tight.

You both eventually arrived back at Teleporter B where the others were waiting. Upon your arrival you got a full on death stare from Dempsey, a worried look from Nikolai and a weird face from Richtofen. It was like a mixture of rage and worry. You shrugged it off as he didn't seem to want to talk to you for most of the time you had been with him. You helped Takeo to a nearby table that he sat on and turned around to talk to the German Doctor. He was still staring at you with his unusual mixture of emotions evident on his face as you walked up to him. "E-er Doc... I was er wondering I-if you would p-possibly check out T-Takeo's nose?... A-and maybe see I-if you can f-fix it?..." You hated being stared at, especially by a handsomely intimidating individual. 'Wait what?! No (Y/N)! Snap out of it!' The Doctor just looked down at your significantly smaller form and nodded. He then proceeded to stride over to where Takeo was sitting, still holding his nose in pain. You suddenly heard a gasp from behind you and spun yourself around to see what the problem was, only to see Nikolai's worried expression had somehow increased and he was now covering his mouth with one hand. You were confused until you felt the warm and slow trickle of blood descending from where you had hit your head. He had obviously seen the cut. Without hesitation Nikolai sped over to you and wrapped you in a tight embrace as he blabbered on in Russian in a hushed voice. "Er Nikolai? I don't really know what you're saying or why you're squeezing me to death... Could you please let up a little?..." You said through a strained voice as the lack of oxygen was now becoming a problem. "I'm s-sorry, I was just w-worried..." He managed to stutter out nervously as he loosened his grip on you, although he still refuses to let you leave the embrace. 'Wait... Nikolai's worried about me?! What?!' You thought to yourself after your mind finally processed what the Russian had just said. 'So now 3 out of the 4 guys I'm allied with have admitted to caring or having feelings for me... This could end badly...'
