Waiting for a distant moment of return...

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith really was not in the mood to play right at that moment. Without the painkiller he was hurting far too much and with it he was just feeling like his whole body was numb and slow, and that was fine, really, but still. It was a little bit weird and it did not help if he wanted to do anything more than just sit there and talk with the other man. Well, that was his opinion.

"... not now, Ciel..."

He did not say that of a mean tone, he just gently pushed the other man's head away and he turned so that he could rest on his back, having the other man ontop of him.. just where he liked him to be.

"..give it a few days... after we can go back to that..." He smiled warmly and blushed at the though of what they had done the previous week.

[Ciel De El Aram]

Being very gently, he rested back against the other man’s chest, snuggling in against him and just taking it easy, his ear resting over the other man’s heart he looked utterly content. “Mmmh alright.” He could wait, he would wait for as long as it took for Berith to feel better, his fingers pressing flat across the broad chest.

“You really are so nice and warm.” Ciel smiled against the other man’s skin, his slender body sprawled over the big one, enjoying a chance to just be there with him. It really was something special between them. “Hopefully you can still come to the zoo exhibit opening…” He really had been looking forwards to taking the other man to see the different animals that the zoo had recently acquired.

“Its not for a few days yet…” He however would make sure that Berith had enough food and things that he needed until the large man was working again. Ciel was just a little overprotective sometimes.

[Nakai Beritu]

"I'll be fine by then...." The taller man smiled softly. he was wuite confident od that, and her eally did think that he could manage to be on his feet agian. For the moment he was still pained but in a few days he would be alright. Or that was what he liked to think.

"...Anyways.... I'm glad that you're here with me..."

Really, he was. He di dnot want to think of that too much. He closed his eyes and he tilte dhis head back. "...I don'T know... if I'll be really hyper, and I hope that I'll manage to go without having to take any of those drugs."

[Ciel De El Aram]

"Its alright. If you need me to take some time off to be there, its not trouble." Considering the boy didn't take sick leave! Or well he hadn't in like forever and most of his assassin's work had been done during the night hours. "I'll be here whenever you need me."

He wanted the other man to know he really was very special. Brushing a hand down over his cheek softly, he smiled gently and just took a mometn to enjoy the feeling of being there wtih him.

Tipping his head upwards, he snuggled up against the other man and was content to remain wehre he was.

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith sighed deeply and he finally pulled away. It was comfortable tob e like that but he was already starting to feel small tingles of pain through his body and it certainly was not the most interesting thing to feel. He just needed a bath, he thought that this would help hima t least a little bit, and oddly enough he had a lot of things to do.

"I'll go take a bath...."

And the other man could do whatever he wanted for as long as he did not really step in his room. "...and I'll go off to clean my room.. you can do what you want meanwhile... or you can go back home..." He was not too tired and he thought it would be a lot better to do his stuff right away.

[Ciel De El Aram]

Ciel nodded slightly, his mauze eyes following teh other man before shifting to go pick up the puppy. He tipped his head towards the doorway, before just taking the puppy for a walk, considerign teh poor thing needed it... Picking up some things to make dinner on his way. He took his time to return to the other man's house, ducking into the kitchen on his return.

Fixing up dinner, he just stared at the door to the other man's bedroom, knowing to keep out...

Before he knocked on it calling the other man to dinner and also because hte phone was ringing.

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith had spent most of the day in his room. He could not fix most of it and he had broken really precious things. Now that he had all of his mind he could see that he just had lost a lot of money and that he would have to throw away some precious thigns.. but it was not like he could keep the ripped painting or the broken vase.

Pain had gotten to Berith before the toehr man made it back and he was in his room for the rest of the day, curled on his bed and breathing slowly. He could focus enough not to feel that kind of pain at least for a moment but it wa shard to keep that focus and the knock on the door sort of pulled him out of his thoughts.

"....what...?" He obviously hadn't had the chance to get to his morphine...

[Ciel De El Aram]

"Dinner... And the phone..." He just took down the number and name and said Berith would get back to them... He leaned against the wall beside the door, not sure if he should even go in there. Still holdign teh trey, he just stood there for a long moment. "Do you need another shot?"

He didn't know what to do, but all he wanted was hte other man to be feeling better, and he was there still to try and help. Though he would just have to know when to stay out of the way.

"I didn't know if you would be hungry..."

[Nakai Beritu]

The taller man shifted a little on the bed. He was trying to get up on his own and to go over outside so that Ciel did not really have to step in his room but it seemed that thigns did nto work that way. He really weas a little dizzy because of the pain and his legs seemed that they would give in if he tried to stand up.

"....yeah...."

He sighed and he let himself crash on hsi bed. He closed his eyes for a moment. It was not like Ciel had not been in this room before so he did not really see what the problem was.

"...you can come in..c areful though.. its still quite a mess...."

[Ciel De El Aram]

Opening the door, he shifted slightly, keeping the lights off though the light was enough to keep from treading on something fragile. Avoiding stepping on the pieces of broken wood and pottery, Ciel reached hte bed and set the tray down on the damaged shelf beside the bed.

"Where is it?" He asked softly, if he was going to be giving the other man morphine he might as well use what was there, he respect the toehr man's privacy and wount' do anything to the stash. He just give the other man a shot of the stuff to at least ease his pain.

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith aws resting on hisb ack again, over the sheets this time. He was archign hsi back in pain and it seemed to be coming and going. It wa snot all focused at the same place at the same time so it aws just hard to keep up with it. He was sweatinga lot too, his clothes were almost drenched with it but he did nto seem to mind, nor did he mind his red hair being plastered to hsi forehead.

"...it's in the bathroom..."

His voice was throaty, it seemed that he should have been drinking too.. but the heavy breathing had not helped him at all.

"....under the sink... there is a black box beneath cleaning shit..."

[Ciel De El Aram]

GAzing straight at the man for a moment before almost wincing at seeing him in such pain, he vanished into the bathroom, rummaging around in there for a few moments to find the black box.

Picking up a vial of morphine and a clean needle, he returned to the other man' sside. His small hands gripped the heavy shoulder, pinnign the other man's arm down as best he could, though he could easily be dislodged and injected hte toher man giving him a fair does but being careful.

"There." He pressed a tissue over it, trying to keep the other man still to let the pain killer work in his body.

[Nakai Beritu]

The big advantage of morphine was that it did not take too long to kick in so tiw as not so bad. The taller man squirmed for a moment but when he felt it run through his veins he relaxed a little. And soon the pain was almsot jsut a bad memory and he could just focus on what was going on. Luckily Ciel had been careful and he had not fallen asleep with the dose.

"...I hate this..." He whispered very softly. No oen would like to have to go through that, but he just had to deal with it for a little while longer. "...I think.. tomorrow the worse will be over with.. that's what Abel said anyways.... Thank you..."

[Ciel De El Aram]

"Your welcome." He sat quietly on the edge of the bed, carefully desposing of the needle in a small case in him medical pack he had wiht him, so that he could despose of it properly. "Now please eat." Considering hte ther man hadn't eaten in about 24hrs he was not going to take no for an answer...

Even if he had to spoon feed the other man he would eat!

"You haven't for a long time." Well he was a doctor!

Handing the tray over to the other man when he finally managed to pull the other man up to a sitting position, he gave him a slight smile. "I'll be here for as long as you need me."

[Nakai Beritu]

"...wait.. I really feel filthy..." It was sad but he really was with the sweat and everything. He pushed the tray aside and he stood up, fighting the now casual dizzy spell. He closed hise yes for a momenta nd he finally removed his clothes and went looking for new one. It seemed that he did not erally mind the other man's presence.

He picked osme new clothes... another of his loose sweaters and a pair of jeans. He looked casual and kind of cute in those. When he was done he did come back to his bed and he picke dht tray again.

It was a little ahrd to eat, not because he was weak but because his stomach was saying no but he knew that it was important for his health as well. He wa sjust eating slowly, not saying a word as he did.
