Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Accident Prone Krijio

Krijio had been warned by the other techs around the place about the doctor of the place and all of the different things they had heard and told the others. He didn't know what to believe what he was hearing as he didn't even know who to trust as he kept to himself for the most part as Krijio wasn't into the same things as the other techs as he just love the genetics parts and wanted to figure out how each spawn got there looks from there donors.

But today he had been very stupid when he was talking with Enki and had gotten so excited to be taking with the demon and said something that had gotten Enki mad and swiped at him for the insult that Krijio didn't know he had done. Realizing now that he was bleeding from the swipe and picked up the end of his lab coat to the wound and walked towards the medical ward not knowing what to think of Aden as he just wanted to get what he needed and to get out as he didn't want to be in the way of that man.

Aden was doing what Aden did best, the man was napping. His feet were up on his desk, his arms were crossed over his chest, and he was snoring away as though he were in the safest place in the world. The man really did appear as though he had no cares in the world from the look of him and how easily he was snoozing. Off to the side was his son who had spaced out the cots that were set up in the room just at the right distance away from each other to effectively turn them into hurdles, racing along and jumping over them, trying to burn off what seemed to be endless energy that his mix of DNA had given him. Not to mention the fact that he'd stolen a tray of donuts earlier which only helped to fuel the fire so to speak. A glowing spawn jumping hurdles and Aden napping would be what met Krijio first thing when the man came into the medical ward...

Krijio stopped just in front of the doorway that led into the Medical ward as he was just a little scared to what he would find in there as he didn't know what to think from all of what he had heard. Taking in a deep breath as he check to make sure that he wasn't leaving a blood trail and seeing that he wasn't as he held onto his injured arm and walked in. But to what he saw inside he was completely shocked that it wasn't to what he had heard about Aden as he looked around to see the man napping at his desk and he thought that he would just sneak to get what he needed and not to interrupt the sleeping mans nap and even Krijio thought he was good looking too. But walking in more he spotted the glowing spawn jumping over the cots and was just intrigued by the spawn as he had forgotten to why he was here and walked a little closer to the spawn to were he could watch as Krijio hadn't met any spawn of his mix and he tried to look harmless as he could as he watched too as he forgot to keep a good hold over his injured arm.

Beryl gave pause when he heard someone come into the medical ward, looking over at the new comer before he walked toward him, tail swishing behind him. This person was new he thought to himself, taking in his look. A tech from the looks of it... not a mean one though since he wasn't yelling, glaring, or trying to steal back Beryl's stolen treats... so that meant he couldn't be all bad, right? He gave a toothy grin at the man, "Hello." He said before he moved closer, sniffing at the guy. He could smell it, that familiar, coppery scent of blood. Something Beryl was used to hanging out in the medical ward and something he found himself interested in, wondering why the guy was bloody.

Krijio just squeeed inside when the spawn stopped his jumping and came over to him as he had total now forgotten that he was bleeding at all at his excitement over the spawn as he was very interesting to look at. As he looked him over one more time quick to make sure that he had gotten his mix in his mind right before he spoke. "Heya, I take it your a glutton and I think diligence," he asked as Krijio couldn't figure out his angel side by just looking at him but with him jumping around had told him that. "By the way too I'm Krijio," he added as he didn't want to seam rude at the fact that he was so excited.

Beryl gave a nod of his little head when the man guessed what he was, quite impressed that he could figure out what his angel was since he really didn't show much of it like some of the other spawn he'd met did. He lifted up on his tip toes, hands reaching out toward the source of the blood, "My Daddy can fix you." He told him then tilted his head to one side when the man told him his name, "Krijio-o! I'm Beryl, Daddy is over there sleeping but we can wake him up." He told the tech before he hurried over to where Aden was dozing peacefully, tail lashing happily in a manner that said the man wouldn't be peaceful for long.

Giving a quick smile that he had been right about his angel and he was giddy to himself as well. But when Beryl had lifted his hand to where he was bleeding did he remember to why he was here in the first place and then was shocked that Aden was Beryl's dad and was now scared as for as good looking Aden looked sleeping Krijio was still scared of the man from what he heard and didn't want his wrath. As he found that being alone or taking with some of the demons were better to talk with than the other techs most of the time. "Well its nice to meet you Beryl," he replied as he didn't want the spawn knowing that he feared Aden wrath as he was just a mere tech in this place. "No don't wake him as that isn't necessary just help me find what I need, please," he said as he was a timid man most of the time and hated confrontation.

Beryl didn't seem to hear the man or if he did he wasn't really paying attention as he leapt up from the ground and onto Aden's lap, nearly giving the man a heart attack if the sound he made and the way he clutched at his chest were any indication, "Augh... Beryl! I was trying to nap and that is now how you wake a guy up." He said, giving a little pout before asking, "Are you hungry?" It was normally why the boy woke him up after all.

The little spawn shook his head, "Naw... you have company." He said, tail swishing behind him.

Aden jerked his head to the side, half hoping to find Aludra standing there... and instead he found someone else, a tech from the looks of him. He was a touch disappointed but it was a passing feeling. He had been apart from Aludra for a while now and it didn't hurt quite as much now as it had before. Rising to his feet, one arm around Beryl to keep him from falling, the Doctor walked toward the tech in a somewhat curious manner, "What do you need?" He asked, inspecting the other man from head to toe before spotting the blood on his sleeve.

Krijio cringed in fear that Beryl hadn't heard what he had said as he was hoping to get in and out without Aden had known that he was there. But he just froze on the spot to where he was like a deer in the headlights as he didn't know what to say as every thought left him leaving him speechless in his fear. Krijio watched get up from where Aden had been sitting with Beryl in one of his arms as he just thought to how much more nice looking Aden was standing up and then he thought to why he was thinking this when he was paralyzed with fear. "I...I...I just n-n-need some band-d-dagges for my arm, Sir," Krijio finally said clearly very nervous.

"Sir, huh?" He asked, before shrugging and motioned to the cots that he realized were in an odd pattern before deciding it didn't matter since they hadn't been tipped over, "Go sit over there and I will get everything we need to get you patched up." He said, moving over to his cabinets to get a whole manner of various item, laying them all out on a rolling cart and then brought it and his rolling chair over to the cots with him.

"Yes," he said as he didn't want this man's wrath. "I c-c-can take care of it myself, I just need stuff to treat as I didn't want to be a bother," he stammered as he was told to sit when he still clearly that his fear had rooted him to the spot from what he was told and he didn't even know how bad he had gotten injured from Enki. As he thought to how it had all happened as he tried to figure that one out as he didn't want it to happen again and found that he was now standing in front of the indicated cot and was now a little wide eyed to how he had done that, but now he just really wanted to get what he need and bolt from the room.

Aden watched the guy closely and found himself wondering if he were always so high strung or if it were caused by his injuries, to much stress from the pain he was in perhaps? He gave a shrug as he settled down in his seat then patted the cot that was in front of him, "Come on now, I said sit." He told the young man again, seeing the way that he was standing front of the cot and looking like a wild animal about to bolt from the room. Aden gave a little side, reaching over to catch hold of him by his uninjured arm, giving it a gentle tug, "Sit down now, Cutie. I don't want you to lose to much blood and pass out, then where would we both be?" He asked.

Well for the most part he wasn't but fear tended to make him way high strung and for the fact that he didn't interact with many because of his own choice to the fact that he didn't like any of the other techs and would get out of there way when ever he could to retreat to somewhere were he could be along to work if he could. Watching Aden as he didn't want to be a bother at all. "No, no, I don't want..." he said as he was caught off guard by having Aden tug him down and to the fact that he was called a cutey as that was something completely new to him as he was still very in the closet and blushed. "Oh, ok," he answered meekly as he sat down and blushed even more as he thought to how cute Aden was looking and then looked to the ground not knowing what else to say now.

"There we go, good boy." He said, his tone a gentle one as he reached over to get some plastic gloves, pulling them on so as not to risk any germs getting into Krijio's wound as he turned back to it, "This might sting a little." He said, peeling back what Krijio had been using to cover the wound, looking it over closely, "Mmm, I've seen this pattern before... Enki, huh?" He asked, turning to get a thick towel, lying it over the tech's lap then rested his arm on it. Once that was all set up he got a bottle of peroxide, "And this might feel weird but I am sure you know what it feels like." He said a moment before the cold liquid was poured over the wounds, bubbling up instantly as it went to work.

Krijio cocked his head to his confusion as he had heard from the others that Aden wasn't so nice to techs and here he was being nice to him and now he was confused. He just nodded as he knew it would sting and now he felt stupid when Aden had guessed to who had given him the injuries. "Yep, tho I don't know what I said to have Enki do that as I have yet to figure that one out as we were just having a chat and then I got injured and then Enki left in a huff," he answered not really intending for all of that to come out but to confirm what had been guessed. Watching Aden put the towel down on his lap and then his arm down on it as he took a deep breath before the peroxide hit the wounds. Once it had done be pored on he shut his eyes to the stinging and only opened them again once it had stopped stinging to watch the bubbling action of the peroxide and the weird feeling that came with it. Every now and then Krijio would look up to Aden and then quickly back to the wound as not to get caught staring at the other man.

"Well despite the fact that he is normally friendly one does have to remember that he is also a demon." Aden reminded the tech, waiting until the bubbling started to die down before pouring fresh peroxide over the wounds, "I am sure that there are likely things that people say that upset him just as there are likely many things he says that upset people around." He gave a smile as he watched the wounds, cleaning them out twice more before he seemed satisfied, setting the bottle aside and got some fresh gauze to gentle dab dry the wounds, some antibiotic was smeared across them before he set to work gently wrapping them up, "Ahhh, there we go." He murmured after tapping them ends down securely with medical tape.

Aden reached over to the tray getting two gel caps, "Here you go, take these with this." He held out a bottle of water, "It will help with the pain I am sure that your in."

"That is true, but I still find demons and Angels so fascinating to what I have done in the past," Krijio answered as he find the human genetics boring as there wasn't too many more new things that he thought there could be found but a new genome was just so exciting to him that he did literally lose himself to his excitement. Wincing again when more peroxide was poured on, but he knew it was all for the better. "I think that you are right, I will just have to be careful next time," he said and knew that it just might not work as he knew himself as this was one way he didn't keep friends especially when talking about things he liked, he seamed to say the wrong thing without meaning too. "Thanks," he stammered as he blushed a little as he thought to how nice looking Aden was and starred at the ground some more not knowing what else to say.

Krijio took the gel caps and the water and took them both with one swig of the water. "Thanks," Krijio stammered again as he tried to hide the pain he was in and thought to heck with what other techs said and sorta brave Aden's wrath to look at the beautiful man.

"Its not a problem, its what I am here for." He said, taking the damp towel from Krijio's lap and set to work cleaning up his area, looking over at the tech. It was odd, he didn't seem a lot like the techs that Aden was used to dealing with and ordering around he thought to himself before giving a smile, "Feel free to lay back and rest for a bit, I know that its tough to get time to laze about when your a Tech at this place." Where as Aden found plenty of time to sneak naps in between emergencies.

Krijio thought for a little that maybe the other tech were just telling him lies to prejudge him against Aden as to him he thought that Aden wasn't all that bad and gave Aden a nice smile in return as Aden when about cleaning up. "I think that I will for a little before I'm missed and thanks," he answered as he really wasn't going to nap as he needed a good place to think on things and wrap his thought around how he was starting to feel about Aden as it was a new feeling for him as he had never cared about females as they had always annoyed him tho he never showed it and he had never found anyone that he liked like how he was finding out about Aden. Laying down on the cot as he watched Aden do things when he thought that Aden wouldn't know and to thinking things over too.

Aden gave a little smile when the other laid down, he watched him for a moment before he grinned going to get a blanket for the guy out of one of the cabinets, giving it a little shake before he laid it over him, "There you are, you rest for as long as you need." He murmured as he leaned in, daring as always as he stole a quick kiss from Krijio, "There we go, payment for the work I did." He said in a rather playful tone before he winked at the Tech and returned to his cleaning, whistling as he did so.

Krijio was lost in his thought right this second that he didn't hear at first Aden coming over and laid a blanket over him. "Thanks..." he started to say as Aden had give him a quick kiss as he went wide eyed with shock to what had happened and it had rob him of what else he was going to say and talking in general as he blushed deeply as his heart gave a little flutter of excitement over what happened. 'Am I having a crush over Aden' he thought to himself as he watched Aden going about his cleaning and Krijio to muse more over his feelings as Krijio liked what had happened and now he had to think of more ways later on to see Aden to were the older man didn't find out that he was starting to crush on him.

Third Times the Charm

Krijio paced around his room to help him think, as he couldn't keep his thoughts on his work today. He had thought going for a little walk would help clear his thought as he was scheduled for his turn to go into town and that is what he had done. Getting supplies that he needed and found that he was also getting things that he thought that Aden would like. As now those gifts were now sitting on a table that Kri was pacing by. He had been successful for a while with bring gift for Aden without him knowing and mostly when he knew the older man was out taking a smoke. Krijio knew it was a matter of time that he would get caught and would have to admit it was him as he wasn't good at getting himself out of those type of situations and he had also been confused by how he felt about Aden as he had never felt this way and thought it might be a crush that he would get over but those feeling only strengthened ever time he saw and visited with Aden. But he didn't know how Aden would take it and was a little scared about it all and for now he would just keep it a secret for as long as he could as Krijio didn't know how rejection would feel and he thought it wouldn't feel so good and for everyone he would keep it to himself.

After he had stopped pacing around his room he wrapped up a few of the gifts that he had gotten and put them in his pockets to where other techs wouldn't know what he was doing except for think that again he was going to talk with Aden as he didn't care what the others thought as long as they didn't make him mad or get in his way. Once he had gotten closer to the medical ward he walked as quiet as he could as he didn't want to be heard and just in case Aden was in he could make an excuse for being here. Getting to the main door that led into the medical ward, Kri carefully took quick look around and didn't see anything as it was a little dark inside and Krijio hoped that Aden was taking a smoke break.

Aden was in fact out on a smoke break, something he slipped off to do when he had a chance and didn't have various appointments holding him back from such a terrible habit. His son was with him as always, having had a lot of fun racing around through the snow... though despite all of the running and the resistance the snow gave he was still just as energetic as per usual... he had been taking notes on him, watching him, and had really been noticing how much like a hummingbird his son was. He ran high, constantly, and seemed to always be eating. He would inhale everything he could get his hands on, sugary foods most often, and it helped him continue to run. He wondered what would happen if he took on a normal diet, would he slow down? Or would that be bad for him? He might need all the sugar to keep him running... he wouldn't risk his health in a manner.

He was heading back to the medical ward when he saw that the door to it was open, making him lift an eyebrow, "Hrm?" He wondered if he were needed, if someone was injured, "Hello?" He called as he walked in, looking from side to side.

Krijio was in a good mood that after walking in for a little to find that Aden was indeed out as he careful walked around to his desk to put the gifts onto the desk, now he was also indecisive if he should put both gifts down or just one this time he thought to himself and not paying too much attention to the door that he had left open. Kri had only put one gift down on the desk and was holding onto the second one when he heard foot steps, he swore under is breath and he started to panic as he didn't want to get caught especially with what he had in his hands. So slowly he started to back away from the desk not watching to were he was walking and when Aden called out he truly panicked even more as he was going to see if he could run out of the medical ward without being know who. But Kri wasn't watching to where he was going in his panic and ran straight into one of the cots. Meeping when balked his shin on it as he then toppled over the cot with a loud bang with his face on the ground and with one of the gifts in front of him that he had once in his hands. He groaned a little at him falling and his dignity a little bruised at his stupidity as he didn't want to move because he felt embarrassed as he knew he would be found out and was going to see if he could lie and hope it maybe might work, as he was a horrible liar.

"You really are the most graceful thing, aren't you?" Aden said as he looked over toward where Krijio was, giving him a smile before he walked over toward him, unable to help finding amusement in what he was doing. he was a cute little thing, wasn't he? Not terribly graceful but super cute. He paused in front of the younger technician and held a hand out to him, "Come on, take my hand and I will help you up."

Krijio groaned again to what Aden had said as he hid his face as he knew his was blushing very deeply as he knew he wasn't graceful at all. "Well if I was more graceful I wouldn't have landed on my face," Kri said a little muffled as he was still hiding his face as this too was something that he didn't want Aden to know that he was a klutz. Now looking up at Aden when he ask to take his hand to help him up he had to fight again not to blush more as he took Aden's hand and just then Krijio saw the present that he was holding near to where Aden was and when to reach for it to hide it, but failed as it was out of his reach since he had taking Aden's hand to help him stand back up.

Aden helped the young man to his feet and then turned his hands over to check them over, "Just a bit scrapped up." He said before giving him a smile, "I was a little worried that you might have hurt them." He was glad to see otherwise. He found himself glancing down at the gift then back up again, giving Krijio a curious look, "Presents?" He wondered who was getting presents from the cute tech, maybe it was something for Beryl? Or better yet maybe the cutie was bringing him something? That would be a nice change of pace since normally Krijio came to him needing his wounds tended to.

"Well that is good," he said quietly tho his dignity was in a lot worse shape as he couldn't believed himself that he had panicked enough to trip over one of the cot. "Well you don't have to worry about me," Kri said quickly as he didn't want to trouble Aden with worry. Kri watched Aden glance at the present and asked his question in which Krijio yet again colored deeply over it being found. "Yes...."he squeaked. "it is for you and for your help," he said really quietly as maybe he would think it was the first time he had done this as a thank you for helping him. But Krijio wasn't too bright when it came to wrapping the gifts, as all the gifts that he had give before this point anonymously left on Aden's desk were all wrapped in the same paper.

"Ahhh, a thank you gift, huh?" Interesting, so this was the one that was leaving him all the presents like some sort of secret admirer he thought to himself as he leaned over and scooped up the present off the ground, looking it over, "So what did you get for me this time?" He asked as he instantly set to unwrapping the item, quite curious to see what it was that Krijio had brought for him, looking almost like a child who had received a gift.

"Your welcome," Krijio said as he was thinking that he was going to get away with it until he was asked to what he had gotten the doctor. Then he sighed and smacked his hand on his forehead as Kri had just realized that he had been using the same paper to wrap all the gifts, now he felt retarded. His thought frozen as he didn't know what to think to get out of admitting and seeing none, but he didn't have to say that he had strong feelings for the older man as gifts are always nice to get. "Ummmmmm, you will have to see," Krijio said as that was all he could say as he was now very flushed and embarrassed to being found out and he felt his own heart start to race as he watched Aden opening up the gift as it was just so cute. Krijio had in this one gotten Aden a few packs of very nice cigs as he thought that he would enjoy them even if they were bad for him.

Aden set to unwrapping the gift before he looked it over, giving a chuckle, "Feeding my bad habits I see." He said, giving a grin as he tucked the pack of rather expensive smokes into the pocket of his lab coat before he nodded, "I thank you, its always nice to receive a useful gift." He knew that smoking was a terrible habit, even worse for a doctor, but it was his vice and he was a man that enjoyed two of them smoking and flirting.

He lifted a hand to brush his fingers along Krijio's cheek, "You have my thanks, cutie. For this gift and all of the others as well." It was rather nice to receive such things, it helped to get his mind off of the things that were bothering him most, the biggest of those things being his break up with Aludra. He wants something that had gone terribly well and he still missed the pink haired spawn but he knew that it was over between them, long over, and that his ex had long since moved on, "Its helped a lot in easing my broken heart."

Krijio smiled a little as he was glad the older man like his gifts. "Well yes I am but I thought it would be a good gift none the less," he replied a little sheepishly. "Your welcome," he said as he flushed again at being thanks as it was something different to be thanked as hardly any of the techs did it.

A shiver went down Kri's back when Aden bushed his fingers on his cheek and they would have felt very warm to all the blushing he was doing as he didn't know what to think as his heart thudded in his heart more at the touch. But from the touch and the comment and being thanks again all Krijio could do was squeak as he didn't think he could talk properly as his feeling were being overwhelmed, something that he had never felt before and was excited over the feelings. "Oh well that is good," he did finally managed to say a touch sad as he was glad to help ease a broken heart but a little sad that Aden might not feel the same about him as he felt so now he would have to keep those feeling in check if he could and he didn't know even if he could for long.

"Its nice to see that there are some other people here that are good people. Its hard to find them among us." He said, moving to fix the cot that was tipped over by Krijio. Once it was stood back up and the pillow and blanket were placed aside to be washed his attention went back to the other man, "How have you been feeling? Recovered from your wounds from the last time you visited me?" He asked of his guest, reaching into his pocket to dig out some gum that he carried around for when he wasn't able to get out to smoke, popping a couple pieces into his mouth before offering some to Krijio.

"That is very true. I thought that I was always going to be surrounded by others that were full of themselves and not caring for other and I'm glad to have found one of those nice people, "he replied finding more of his voice and watched Aden fix the cot that he had toppled over and was still embarrassed over what he had done and not really watching to what he was saying as well. Oh well no harm had come from Aden finding out that he was the gift giver and he had slightly calmed down as he tried to squish his feeling down about the doctor. Krijio smiled a little at Aden asking how he was healing up. "Well don't worry too much about me, as I have been feeling better and yes I have. All the bruises have just finally healed along with any of the cuts and such," he replied as he scratched his face as he thought.

"Tho a good part of the tech have been leaving me along to do my work and when they have to work with me are doing it as fast as they can to get out," he added as he didn't know if it was because of the fight or the fact that some had seen him going to see Aden, but he really didn't care as they were people he didn't want to get to know anyway as some were very stuck on themselves. "So how have you been and thanks," he asked as he took some of the gum that was offered him and popped them into his mouth.

"They have spent far to much time at their jobs, creating beings out of the angels and demons who live here... really its something that has given many of them an undeserved complex about how powerful they are. Something often shattered when something bad happens here." In fact that exact sort of thing happened a few times over, various, dangerous things attacking the place for reasons all their own.

He gave a bit of a smile when Krijio took the offering of gum before replacing it in his pocket, "If you can just do your best to ignore them, its what I do." He didn't know how often they tried to bother him when he first started to become useful to Vampy. It would seem that a lot of them were prone to bouts of jealousy, wanting the Boss of this place to look upon them as useful but instead the only ones that seemed to really get Vampy's attention were Aden of course and more importantly Almas... the latter of which annoyed them most, after all Almas was a Fallen and as such not useful to the Labs when it came to DNA.

"That is so very true," he replied as that was one fact that he hated about most of the techs and why some hated him as he didn't think the same way that they did.

"I have seen some that a very big complexes and I find those people annoying. They don't show respect to what they are doing as I see its an honor to be doing it as the human DNA is limited but it seams that demons and angels DNA is so very different and I find that fascinating," he rambled on as it wasn't hard to get Kri going to talk about what he like about his job and he had seen some of those tragedies that have happened and stayed away from that type of trouble as he could as he knew his value wasn't much and he respected to what he did and knew his place at the bottom and that suited him just fine. "That is good advice but there are times it hard to do that when they want to provoke you. But I do try to stay out of trouble as love to see how the spawns come out especial of those that have the same mix. As I know that in this place is I'm worth very little, but I love what I do," he said as he didn't mind all that much as he wanted to learn and be challenged at what he did.

Tending to Leander
