When Shun awoke, he found himself laying in a familiar bed, or at least it felt familiar. Without opening his eyes, he waited there, wondering if he had even left it in the first place. Everything that happened.. was it all some insane dream? Or nightmare rather.
No.
That wasn't something he could point at now that he had learned to become lucid. Slowly, he opened his eyes, finding that the world around him was still rather dark. Silence was all around. Perhaps.. he had just awaken in the middle of the night, where it was likely to be rather dark and quiet.
This wasn't too likely either. Carefully, he began to sit up, wincing as he still found it difficult to move. Looking around, he found he was able to see shapes a little better.. or was it just his imagination? While he had improved slightly, he was having trouble distinguishing if he really did. He closed his eyes again and ran his hand through his hair, recalling the final events of the previous day. Perhaps his folly did cost him greatly, which put a great weight onto his mind and heart as he thought of it.
He had failed to do anything of real use during a critical moment, and just got himself in trouble as a result.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he shifted off his bed to see how well he could stand and well. At least, he figured it was his bed. The rough layout he was picking up on seemed like his room. He was a little unsteady as he stood, but some of his strength had returned with the night's rest. As he took a step forward, his foot caught onto something soft and warm, causing him to crash down to the ground with a thud.
Groaning, he tried to see what he had tripped over but couldn't. And for now, there went his strength. The Reaper didn't feel like getting up again right now.

The field trip had left Mitsu ragged but that hadn't kept her from looking over Shun. After they had rested she had been sure to get the reaper back to his dorm though it wasn't entirely without help. Once he was in bed she had been afraid to leave him alone and, instead of going back to her own dorm, had decided to camp out on his floor.
There really was no rest to be had. The events that had happened continued to play out in her head. Each scene kept circling over and over and Mitsu was left to wonder if there was anything else she could have done. There had to have been something....
Her eyes had actually managed to close at some point realizing that Shun was asleep. Tired she had curled up on the floor, trying her best to think of something else. It was possible she had started to drift, the trace of a dream at the corner of her mind, but that was all interrupted when a foot caught her side.
It wasn't anything swift and hard like a kick but it still made Mitsu yelp curling up for a moment as her injuries began to make themselves known. She hadn't bothered to go to the other tent...she was paying for it now. Slowly she uncurled herself seeing that Shun had landed and hadn't budged. Was...he okay?
One arm wrapped around her middle, Mitsu scooted her way across the floor until she was sitting beside the reaper. A hand came to rest on his head as she leaned down to look at his face. Maybe....he wasn't getting better. She had been the one to charge in and no doubt Shun had followed to make sure she would be okay. If she hadn't been so reckless...he wouldn't have paid the price. Biting back the tears Mitsu leaned down a bit to rest her head next to Shun's, her tired mind never at rest. She had really failed him.

Quite frankly, Shun didn't expect there to be anyone else in his room so when he suddenly felt someone touch his head, he tensed. He looked up towards the source, seeing the vague outline of a girl with doggish (or were the catish?) ears. The realization that this was Mitsu had him relax, but.. what was she doing on the floor? After their time in the medic tents, his memory was a little fuzzy. He assumed that she helped him to his room before he more or less passed out. But.. why had she stayed?
Feeling her head up against his, the Reaper's expression softened as he slowly reached up to lightly place onto her.
"Mitsu.. what are you doing here?" he asked, soon realizing that he couldn't really hear himself. Right. His hearing was damaged too. Letting out a sigh, he turned his head to the side, feeling a cold feeling set in.
Would he never be able to see her face or speak normally with her again?

Closing her eyes as Shun's hand touched the side of her face, Mitsu tried to take what comfort there was knowing he was there. At least they had made it back right? Though perhaps a little damaged and worse for wear. Okay...so pretty badly damaged and Shun couldn't see or hear. It was stressful and not the easiest to handle when she felt responsible.
His question was met with a puzzled look, though Mitsu was still fairly certain he couldn't see it. How to answer? Yes or no questions were easy but he wanted an explanation. Slowly she moved closer her lips touching his lightly. Hopefully that would be enough.

There was a slight sense of surprise as he felt a pair of lips touching his, if only because he literally couldn't see it coming. Gently, Shun placed his hands around her and kissed her tenderly in return. His heart felt heavy, causing the motion to be fairly weak. Moving his head down, he slowly shook it.
"How someone as pathetic as myself managed to gain your love will always be beyond me," he said quietly, "You really deserve someone who isn't a waste of FEAR.."

The kiss was tender but short and as Mitsu pulled away she watched Shun shake his head, the action making a look of confusion cross her face. The words he said about himself...well....quite frankly they hurt. She didn't want him to think that way. He had looked out for her, comforted her, and if it hadn't been for him she very well could have been killed. He had taken the abuse of Cael's wrath even if she had gotten in the first bite.
Her lips drawing into a tight line Mitsu unwrapped her arm from around her torso as she settled in to lay next to the reaper. There were a few cuts that had broken open but she ignored them as she cuddled close, the first of a few tears filling her eyes and streaking down her cheeks. Don't think that way about yourself.....please.

If she said anything in response, Shun didn't know. He couldn't really tell what the state of his hearing was exactly since there wasn't much noise that he was aware of around. Instead, he felt her lay be him to cuddle close. Lightly, weakly, he brushed his fingers against her cheeks, pausing as he felt something wet there.
Carefully, he moved to caress her face, feeling a tear brush against his hand.
She was crying. Was it something he said? It was even harder to tell now.
He wanted to be able to communicate with her, but it was virtually impossible when he couldn't see or hear her for the most part. Feeling frustration taking over, he closed his eyes. The feeling was soon overwhelmed by a sense of defeat.
"I really don't deserve you.." he whispered, though it was more to himself.

The tears really hadn't stopped as Shun's hand lightly touched her cheek. Mitsu tried to move away enough to wipe her face but it really required too much energy. She could feel the fatigue setting in as a hand came up to touch Shun's. The hand that touched his was slightly wet as well, though it wasn't from tears but from blood. The feel of it wouldn't be much different though. Wet and warm.
She wanted to convey her thoughts, tell him there wasn't anything else they could have done, but then...she didn't believe that herself. Not that he could hear her at the moment. Instead she nuzzled her head under his chin before her eyes started to grow heavy. She would just rest a moment and then help Shun back to bed. Then maybe she would take a shower and put more on than just sleeping on the floor in her bra and panties. Yes.....that had been the plan but within moments Mitsu was fast asleep. Exhaustion had won this round.

Despite how he felt regarding himself, having her nuzzle into him was still a comforting gesture.
Enough that he ended up passing out again, though his exhaustion certainly helped.
There was one problem of being semi-lucid when it came to dreaming. He was more aware of things, which made things all the worse when the dream spiraled out of his control. A few hours later, he jerked awake as a result of a nightmare, induced from their field trip.
When he realized he still had Mitsu in his arms, Shun relaxed. His heart soon sank as he recalled the situation once more.
Heaving a sigh, he started to push himself to his feet. How much time had passed? He really couldn't tell. The Reaper wanted to walk or something, but his body felt heavy still. Stumbling, he tried to make his way towards the door... only went the wrong way and essentially walked right into the wall.

Mitsu hadn't woken right away when Shun had stirred despite him jerking awake. No, she was rather lost in her own dream having yet to really work on lucid dreaming. She was stuck in a continuous loop that kept retelling the story they had just seen unfold.
It wasn't until the reaper ran into a wall that Mitsu was startled awake, at first realizing she was alone on the floor. As the world settled into place her eyes drifted over to Shun still trying to move about and really getting no where.
Starting to push herself off the floor Mitsu immediately cringed doubling over. There was still a great deal of pain in her side and looking down it seemed there was a large patch of dried blood. At least it had stopped bleeding right?
Gritting her teeth Mitsu slowly and stiffly rose to her feet. She staggered in place for a moment, unsteady, before she moved to the nightstand beside Shun's bed. That's where she had placed the cup with the medicine. The lycan needed to make sure the reaper got another dose.
Cup retrieved and held firmly in her grasp Mitsu made her way to Shun before gently placing her hand on his shoulder. She needed him to turn searching for his hand so that she could place the cup in it so he would know he needed to drink. Ms. Cricket said he would show improvements by the end of the day but Mitsu was starting to wonder if that would be true.

Groaning again, Shun rubbed his head while stepping back. Seeing vague shapes didn't really help him navigate too much. At least it didn't when he wasn't taking the time to look.
Turning around as he felt a hand at his shoulder, he soon also felt the cup being placed into his hand. Looking down, he stared at the object for a moment before bringing it up to his lips, drinking down the liquid. It was the same as the one he received before going to his room, he noticed.
"You don't need to stay here.." he uttered to her quietly while trying to feel for a flat surface he could place his cup onto. There weren't any near him.
"I'm sure you'd like to be in your own room.."

After the reaper had drank the contents of the cup he only struggled to find somewhere to set it for a moment before Mitsu reached out to take it from him. Once she had the cup Mitsu found somewhere to place it before Moving back to Shun and taking hold of his arm to lead him away from the wall. Her own steps were staggering and a little unsteady as she led him to the bed.
She only held on more tightly when he gave her cause to leave. Mitsu could go back to her room...but that wasn't where she wanted to be. She didn't want to be by herself. That and she would worry the entire time about how Shun was doing. No, she would stay here until he was better.
Nearly to the bed Mitsu paused in her steps her legs starting to feel weak as a dizzy spell hit her hard. The bed was close only a couple of more steps but she had already begun to fall.

Allowing himself to be led along, Shun slowly moved on along. However, he noticed there was something slightly strange as he moved. Perhaps it was just his imagination, but it seemed like Mitsu's steps were unsteady as well. Furrowing his brow as they moved along, he suddenly felt her begin to drop.
He tried to reach out and catch her, but his body just wasn't quite up to it. Instead, he just ended up toppling over with her, landing on this arm that had been bitten.
Hissing in pain, he gritted his teeth and reached out to try and feel if Mitsu was alright. Granted, he couldn't really tell much by touch, but he was trying to pick up on whatever he could.

The fall wasn't without a jolt of pain as Mitsu landed, the lycan crying out. Her body was so sore, much more so than she realized. She could hear Shun hiss in pain from the contact as well but it was so hard for her to move. Shifting slightly took so much effort and it jarred every injury in her body that was now screaming at her to just lay where she was and be still.
Ignoring her body's protests Mitsu moved so that she was facing Shun. She knew he was injured, he needed to get back to bed to rest. Her hand started to reach toward him but it stopped as soon as she felt a hand grabbing for her chest. There was a long moment of pause, a look on Mitsu's face that said she didn't know how to react. Finally the feeling settled in and Mitsu's face turned scarlet as she laid there as still as a statue. Should she move away? He no doubt didn't know what he was doing.
....
She continued to do nothing but stare at the reaper.

While Shun had aimed to reach for an arm or perhaps her side, he found that he had grabbed something round and soft instead. Furrowing his brow for a moment, he lightly squeezed before realizing that this was likely one of Mitsu's breasts that he had just grabbed.
....
He was having trouble deciding if he wanted to move his hand away right now. Perhaps she'd move him.
