Battling seriously hurt.

Powering down from Quail's Eye, Kazuo crawled into his boyfriend's apartment because it was closer than his own and turned the AC back to something decent. Apparently Kraven liked to live in a freaking sauna. Not going to fly, tall, pale, and freaky. He rubbed a hand over his eyes as he headed for the bathroom to see what damage had been done. Oh, he hurt. Why did he think that was anywhere near a good idea?

Slowly he hauled up his hoodie and shirt to see a bruise forming from a glow stick of all the things. "Okay..." How could he cover that up with a lie? Bumped into a counter. That was a good one, right? Hopefully Kraven bought it.

"New relationship, already lying. Great start, Kazuo," he was muttering to himself in Japanese because he really didn't want to think about the English translation of whatever he was saying. Sometimes he missed speaking his native tongue. He needed to find a friend where they could just rapid fire talk back and forth without having to really think. Either way, he poked the bruise gingerly and then moved on to the next. His hands and knees were scraped and busted from landing from his falls.

"At least he didn't get me too badly." Maybe that Negaverse person was really all that powerful. Considering he was a giant. This... was probably a wrong thought, but he got away with a single bruise and some scrapes. All things considered it wasn't too bad. He hissed and just pulled his clothes down again before wandering to Kraven's closet. He pulled out one of his boyfriend's hoodies and then stripped himself down, climbed into it and then climbed into bed to wait for the tall brute. He hoped this wasn't going to get him into too much trouble with him.

It wasn't easy for Kazuo to open himself up to someone, so if he got in trouble for something like bruises or something... well.. God I don't want to ******** this up. The boyish man curled up in a tighter ball and just sighed again. "Shouldn't sleep," he mumbled to himself. "Need to wait for Kraven..."

If this was going to lead for a fight, Kazuo had a long, long relationship ahead of him. With his powered side, he was no doubt going to end up fighting a lot more than usual. Well, any physical fighting was more than usual, but this was definitely leading to bruises and what not. Yawning once more, he felt sleep closing in on him, and honestly? Kazuo didn't have the energy at all to fight it. So he let himself drift off into a blissful sleep, no doubt going to feel the bruise in the morning.
