Nobody thought anything of it when he requested to leave for a few weeks after Cerise. They were all tired, exhausted from saving the world once again, and Yellow was glad to keep Pika, just a little longer.
No one knew where he went, either.
gYou shouldnft be here.h Lance hissed, as Red pressed the bandages against his bleeding wounds. gYou really shouldnftch
gShh.h Red soothed. gI know it hurts, but you canft use it on yourself. Never again, Lance. You know what happens every time you try to use Viridianfs Power on a humanc itfs what got you into this mess in the first place.h
Lance laughed bitterly. gThe empathy doesnft go both ways. Youfre right of course, but itfs still my fault, even if I was possessedch
His Kairyuu gave a cry, and Lance tried to sit up, but Red pushed him down again.
gI wish I could take you home with me.h
gIfm sure that would turn out real well, especially with your friends.h Lance coughed, wincing at the pain.
Red lifted a cup of tea to his lips, supporting him as he drank. gI wish I could stay with you forever.h
gWishing is for fools.h
gPerhaps Ifm a fool then, but that wonft stop me.h Red tucked the blankets around his lover, pausing to kiss him quickly. gIfll be here for a few more days, and hopefully, by then, the worse will be over.h
gRedch
gI donft hate you.h Red murmured. gI love you, and nothing you do will ever change it, and you now – itfs Pikafs fault your like this, so I should feel guiltych
Lance did not say more, and Red slipped into bed with him moments later; winding arms around his waist with a contented sigh.
As long as they were together, he could carry onc he could continue to lie, and pretend, because it was worth it.
