Undeniably Lost [Open]

[rajani]

Rajani watched Kuma and Kogitsune she didn't miss how they seemed uncomfortable around one another nor the blushing that was going on between the two of them. She thought about Kuma's question.

"Im not sure but he seems to be having these episodes every so often, She said as she kneeled there watching Kuma and Kogitsune. Rajani was not sure what to make of their reactions other then maybe it being uncomfortable treating and being treated by someone of the same gender.

She noticed the blood on the ground and felt her eyes shifting to gather data on Kogitsune. She didn't like him being like this. She hated to see him in such pain. It reminded her that she didn't have the means of protecting everyone from pain or trouble. She watched Kuma and Ko-chan. She just hoped her new friend would be alright.

“I…see,” came the quiet reply, the medic’s eyes focused on the prone form below him. He had seen Kogitsune’s eyes flutter open, and the accompanying gaze had froze him in his place. It was as if the other’s deep chocolate eyes were staring past him, past the façade that he was projecting, and he flushed uncomfortably, captivated and unable to look away. He could feel himself being analyzed, and suddenly there was a flash of hurt within those eyes, and he was momentarily startled, caught off guard by the raw emotion.

Just as soon as it came though, it was gone, and the Hoshi-nin turned his head away, closing his eyes slowly. Kuma was at a loss for what to do, because obviously something monumentous had just happened, but he wasn’t able to deduce what it was. The air was thick with tension and he was powerless to diffuse it, which made him feel all the more helpless. The medic within him was crying out to fix whatever was wrong, to heal the pain that he had seen laid bare before him, but the more sensible half of his mind had no idea how. It wasn’t as if he had had that type of encounter before, so perhaps he had done something wrong? His head hurt from trying to figure things out.

There was blood still staining the pale skin at the edge of Kogitsune’s mouth, and Kuma unconsciously reached up to his neck, fingers skimming over bare flesh instead of the cloth that normally encircled it. Well, that was inconvienient, to say the least, and instead he let his hand fall, tracing the side of the ill man’s face with the tips of his fingers for a moment before using the cuff of his sleeve to wipe the blood away. It stained the blue fabric something awful, but he only felt a small twinge of regret at the action. It was an expensive jacket, but…well, he was a bit more worried about the other’s well-being then he was about finances at that point in time. Freaking out about money would have to come later.

With a gentle touch, he slipped his fingers between the man’s cheek and the ground, applying a light pressure so that he could nudge Kogitsune back into facing him. There was a distinct feeling of water upon skin as he accomplished the act, which was even more worrying. Obviously something was wrong beyond the physical condition, and as a doctor he needed to figure out what it was. “Can…can you h-hear me?”

[Kogitsune]

So stupid, so stupid... It was like trying to figure out if Kuma wanted him all over again - but this time, in a different sense. Instead of the lusty hour before, now he was faced with a half-romantic, half-forced open-air scene in front of his own apartment, and instead of being alone where they could talk quietly between themselves, now his acquaintance Ryuu Rajani was there with them to add even more tension... and he wasn't about to slip up and unveil that Kuma and he had met before in an odd way, or in any way at all. Kuma himself didn't seem to want to tell her, so Kogitusne would play along... for the time being. But once they got a moment together, he thought to himself, he would question the one-night love partner about his actions.

But when he felt the familiar stiff jacket of Kuma, Kogitsune drew in a quick, sharp breath and opened his eyes in shock. Was this display... alright? Or even normal in this village? He was certain that it wasn't nearly as accepted in Hoshigakure no Sato, but then again, the nuke-nin may have studied before coming, so he trusted his judgement.

Before Kogitsune could react, he felt a warm hand brush tenderly across and gently press against his cheek, making him face Kuma as the tears spilled over when he opened his almond eyes. A dark blush crossed his countenance, and he glanced up at his medic once again through his thick eyelashes. Trying to think of a simple way to thank him without words, Kogitsune lightly bit his bottom lip and averted his eyes to the ground and saw the blurred fingers touching his cheek, which gave him the idea.

Kogitsune slowly turned his head and tenderly kissed Kuma's palm before returning his gaze to the other for his reaction.
