#{dramatic much?}

No more white tee

Surprisingly, not a lot changed for Danny after the portal incident.

He came back relatively healthy, something extremely surprising given his halfa status.

The little, small detail that was really a mild inconvenience was… the nosebleeds.

Heavy ones, where the blood would come down his throat, making him swallow continuously while trying to stop the liquid from pouring out or going into his lungs.

Frostbite explained it was like when people get nosebleeds due to the change in temperature, his ghost side being too cold and reacting to his human side being too warm.

Nothing he couldn’t endure, since it wasn’t something that happened on a daily basis.

What, on the other hand, was an inconvenience was the sheer amount of blood and the dramatic look of it.

The liquid would suddenly start dripping, staining his teeth and making him spit up the blood that would make its way into his mouth. He would often double over, trying not to make anything drip on his shirt, but that would make the blood run faster…

It was a mess.

There's this constant longing for someone who cares, some older, wiser being who listens & takes care of me.

This longing scares me. I try to write about it but there are no words for it.

@wizzardclown 's 6x5 Rammstein challenge - Day 21 part 2

The journey continues.

After his comfy looks I tried to think about Richard's most normal looks. And I still couldn't decide.

He looks so gorgeous dressed all elegant for photoshoots

Or dressed nicely but also inconsistently for various public apparitions

Or simple and neat for recorded interviews.

KAEYA : Master Diluc, don't worry *hic* even with all those scars all over your body you are still sexy.

Diluc coughs, rolling his eyes, and takes another sip of champagne.

KAEYA : They're signs of survival. This eye though, no *hic* no matter how much I'll cover it, it will be ugly. And I will be ugly.

DILUC : Kaeya, how MUCH wine did you have already? That's enough now-!

Diluc tries to take away the bottle from Kaeya, but falls over him instead. The bottle rolls away.

KAEYA : R- *hic* right, go. Unleash your anger on me. I am a traitor. I should have had my other eye removed too ... so you don't have to be on your guard about *hic* letting a glimpse of dissapointment seep to your eyes. But you know, p- part of me is glad you hate me, I cannot imagine a world where you pretended I didn't exist.

Kaeya cries, taking Diluc aback.

KAEYA : Master Diluc, I'm sorry you have to look at my face ... I'm sorry ...

Diluc sighs.

DILUC : (Didn't we discuss this before? Oh Kaeya, insecurity doesn't fit you in the slightest.) Don't worry, you have been forgiven, forever ago ...

He hugs the crying blue-haired young man, as they both still lay on the ground.

Next morning...

KAEYA : Greetings, master Diluc!

DILUC : Ah, Kaeya.

Diluc ponders for a moment as he drinks his morning herbal tea, while Kaeya prances down the stairs.

DILUC : ... Can I see beneath your eyepatch?

KAEYA : What ... what, why??

DILUC : No particular reason, I just want to look at it in daylight. You showed it to me yesterday without hesitation.

Kaeya : (The only time I can't handle wine, I do something like this???)

Diluc stares, making Kaeya bashfully comply.

KAEYA : Sorry, it's kind of horrifying, isn't it?

Diluc's thumb strokes the cheek under the eyeball-less socket. He smiles, bringing Kaeya some confort.

DILUC : No, it isn't.

The red-haired young man didn't look away, nor was uncomfortable, when the gaping hole on Kaeya's face was uncovered.

DILUC : (Damn, I am never bringing him this imported brand again, or else he might lose more than his composure.)
