The Shield

‘night mother is a play by marsha norman. tw : suicide and guns.

‘ you hear me, honey? ’

‘ somebody should have them. ’

‘ don’t worry. ’

‘ it must be time for your medicine. ’

‘ very funny. very funny. ’

‘ i found the bullets. they were in an old milkcan. ’

‘ there’s just no point in fighting me over it, that’s all. ’

‘ so quiet i don’t know it’s quiet. so nobody can get me. ’

‘ you can’t do it. i won’t let you. ’

‘ and that’s all. ’

‘ well you can have it if you want. ’

‘ i’m going to kill myself, __. ’

‘ took it already. ’

‘ you don’t mean that. ’

‘ it’s mine too ’

‘ shoot myself. in a couple of hours. ’

‘ oh come on. ’

‘ where did you get those? ’

‘ that gun’s no good, you know. ’

‘ don’t you want to know what we got you? ’

‘ well, you didn’t look good enough, then. ’

‘ i’m careful. ’

‘ if you call him, i’ll just have to do it before he gets here. ’

‘ how am i supposed to act? ’

‘ dead is dead quiet. ’

‘ not in my house! ’

‘ just you and me. ’

‘ then what’s the matter with you? ’

‘ i said no. this is private. ’

‘ i’m cold all the time anyway. ’

‘ soon as you hang up the phone, i’ll just walk in the bedroom and lock the door. ’ 

‘ i said don’t make a mess. ’

‘ did i say that already? ’

‘ the floor’s not very steady. ’ 

‘ i’ll be right back. ’  

Gladio pressed his lips as his leg was moved. That hurt like a son of a bitch and the woman knew it. “Okay, okay. You win.” He rumbled out as he watched her sit beside him. The man rolled his lips as she patted his hand, in turn forcing himself to scratch at it.

“I know… I just hate being still for so long. Hell, it’s not what I’m use to.” Gladiolus admitted as he turned his gaze towards the woman. “I know that I need to rest and heal but damn it. Fine…” The man did his best not to pout but the exhaustion was quite there.

He didn’t exactly have it in himself to fight her.

"I know Gladio. I know, "she said with a voice a little softer, compassionate. Since all these years, she began to know well his friend and it was sometimes necessary to push around him to admit him certain things. She did not like doing this because every time she had to do it with her older brother, it ended in a violent quarrel.

"Honestly, with you being here. It's just a little better." The man admitted as he briefly chewed at the inside of his lips. "I am just loathing the recovery is all." he let his voice lower just an octave. "I'm not use to being bedridden."

     ❛ what’re you reading this time? ❜

“I’m fine.” He isn’t. Gladio was going fucking insane. Even post battle with the Daemons and the titan… He was in pain. His left leg pulsed with the full pain of a broken bone.

He fiddled with the cast that was on his left thigh. How long had that fight been brewing? 10 years? Roughly. He was the Shield of the king and yet he was currently bedridden. Gladio had let his guard down.

“Oh really? In this case … "Aurora said arching an eyebrow as she lifted his leg to adjust the cushion that raised it.

She had come to visit Gladiolus as she did almost daily. The medical staff was still small despite the recent retaking of Insomnia and although she was very busy with the coordination of different teams in charge of the rehabilitation of the city, she wanted to help and made a point of honor to take care of her friends. After all, they were all she had left.

"I know... I just hate being still for so long. Hell, it's not what I'm use to." Gladiolus admitted as he turned his gaze towards the woman. "I know that I need to rest and heal but damn it. Fine..." The man did his best not to pout but the exhaustion was quite there.

“We have an issue!” He said. he had a worried/scared look on his face. “They found us. I don’t know how but they found us” He said pointing outside of the tent. “This was supposed to be a relaxing trip this time around!” he pouted.

@kcngsshield

“Who found us?” The man asked as he sat up and rubbed at his face, his hair standing up and a bit messy. Exhausted eyes took in the man’s worried expression, making his own morph into worry.

Gladio carefully got to his knees and released a quiet breath, listening for any sort of movement outside of the tent. “Easy Noct. Are the others safe?” The man questioned in a hushed tone, a hand reaching out to settle on the others shoulder in a comforting gesture.

Gladio looked down at the paper, giving an apprehensive roll of his lips. "We don't need to draw anymore attention to ourselves. If we could slip out and away before they spotted us. That'd be ideal." Already a plan was forming in the others mind, his gaze rising. Taking note of how nervous Noctis looked.

So, Like this for a starter for Gladio. Feel free to message me if you want to plot with him.

“Don’t you hurt a single hair on his/her/their head.”

“Hands off!”

“I’ll never let you go.” / “Don’t ever let me go.”

“Don’t ever leave my sight again.”

“I got your back.”

“Where are you going? It’s not safe out there!”

“Do you trust me?”

“Be more careful next time. I don’t want to bandage you up again.”

“Hey, it’s cold outside. At least wear a jacket.”

“I’d die for you.”

“You’ll back off if you know what’s good for you.”

“Get behind me NOW.”

“Here, I have an extra weapon.”

“Duck, you idiot!”

“Go on without me.”

“Well what did you expect would happen while you’re walking alone at night? Come on, let’s get you away from that creep.”

“Hey. Pal. I’ve got a gun/knife/fist/weapon and I’m not afraid to use it.”

“You can stop hugging me now.”

“You scared the shit out of me. I’m never going to stop hugging you.”

“Quit babying me! I can protect myself.”

“I’ll always be there to save you.” / “I know you’ll always be there to save me.”

“If you even THINK about touching him/her/them, I’ll kill you.”
