[Roleplay] The Aftermath 2.5 - A Cushion For Our Hearts

[Naiad]

"G- Gio...?" I run over to him and start mumbling. ".... Lia, help me out here..."

You called? It's been a while since I've woken up. Feels kind of... eugh...

"Vitals." I begin healing Gio. .. Well, he lost a lot of goddamn blood, that's one thing.

 

[Myst]

I blink my eyes a few times to make sure it's really true.

I open my mouth then immediately close it due to a lack of words.

 

[Naiad]

I glance up and sigh when the doorbell rings. "... Just what I needed." I mutter as I finish healing Gio.

I stand up and open the door, taking care to block Gio's body from the nanny's view. "Thanks for taking care of them." I nudge Scott and Catherine inside before shutting the door.

 

[Myst]

I glance over at our children and my heart warms up a bit. They've taken after their mother well...

I scratch the back of my head and say, "I'm going to go wash up..." I start walking towards the stairs. This time, leaving Luna behind.

 

[Naiad]

I nod. "... Gio, what exactly happened while I was in the kitchen?"

"Things." I stare up at the ceiling.

I sigh. "How about you two play with Luna for a bit? Uncle Gio will play with you, won't he?"

I groan. "I'll try."

 

[Myst]

I dash up the stairs and into the bathroom.

I start to scrub my fists really hard in an attempt to wipe off the blood. Damnit... I hope she's not mad...

 

[Naiad]

I watch as everyone heads to the play room.

"... The hell was up with Blaze..? He's never this violent.."

 

[Myst]

After a while of persistent scrubbing, the blood still won't come out. I decide to give up and start to go downstairs. I sigh. How will I clean this off...?

 

[Naiad]

I sigh and undo my ponytail.

I glance over at Blaze when I see him walk down the stairs. "Blaze? Can I talk to you?"

 

[Myst]

I bite my lip. "S-sure." She knows... Damnit...

 

[Naiad]

I walk past him and head into the kitchen as the timer dings.

"Are you alright?"

 

[Myst]

I follow her with my eyes. "I'm fine."

 

[Naiad]

I smile with relief. "Good."

"Now, onto the second order of business." I set the timer once again.

 

[Myst]

"Which is...?" I ask, playing dumb.

 

[Naiad]

"... Gio."

I glance at the door when I hear squealing. "...? They seem to be having fun."

 

[Myst]

"What about Gio?" I ask, suddenly defensive.

 

[Naiad]

"bro u rekt him"

"... Somehow, blood got onto the carpet. I want to know why." I sigh and grab Blaze's hands. "C'mon, tell me." I look up at him, my eyes pleading.

 

[Myst]

I close my eyes and sigh. "I may or may not have... um... tried to beat him to a pulp..."

 

[Naiad]

I nod slowly. "... I was afraid of that. More importantly," I reach up and touch his face. ".... You've finally closed your eyes..."
