Work Text:
You are enjoying a nice cup of coffee when you hear a rapid knocking coming from your door. You make your way over, making sure to grab one of your bone steel knives while you're moving.
You're treated to a grisly sight on the other side. A young orange-haired girl stands covered in blood, a fist raised to continue knocking. In her arms lies another girl, about the same age, with a sickening set of gashes covering her torso and stomach.
"Are-Are you the demigod?" the redhead asks desperately.
"I am." you quickly reply, "Bring her inside and place her carefully on the floor."
As you finish your instruction you turn and rush for your first aid kit. While running, you drain the rest of your coffee, already mourning the loss of your day off.
You make your way back to where you saw the girl placing her friend down. As you do, you hear her say "It'll be okay, Lavender. You'll survive this. We made it somewhere safe."
You return with the first aid kit in hand, and rip it open to start treating Lavender. Starting with the disinfectant, you can hear a pained moan tear itself out of her lips when it touches her wounds.
"Rosa-AH!" The girl tries to say something, only to cut herself off as you treat a particularly deep injury.
"Please just focus on breathing Lavender," Rosa asks of her "I'm here, we're both safe."
After thoroughly disinfecting the wounds on the poor girl, you begin the process of stitching and bandaging her. At some point Lavender has grabbed Rosa's hand, and seems to be squeezing it every time the needle enters her.
After several grueling minutes of patching the purple-haired girl up, you tie off the final bandage and close the first aid kit.
"She should make it." you tell the pair. "Good thinking bringing her here."
Rosa wraps the injured girl up in a massive hug, ecstatic to hear that she'll survive her wounds. In what seems to be an impulsive decision, she plants a kiss on the other girl's lips.
Rosa reels back as she realizes what she just did. "Lavender, I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me to-"
"Again…" She gets cut off by Lavender speaking. "Kiss me again…"
You take that as your queue to leave, heading to the kitchen to start making breakfast. You doubted either of the girls had gotten anything to eat today. You grab some bacon and eggs before getting to work on making some pancakes. Lavender would need the protein and fats to jumpstart her recovery.
After finishing cooking the food and setting the table, you return to the room where you left them. The red-head is peppering the purple-haired girl's face with kisses. You awkwardly clear your throat to get their attention.
"Breakfast's ready." You tell the pair, and turn to head to the dining room, the pair rising to follow you.
"What are we, Rosa?" you hear Lavender ask weakly behind you.
Rosa laughs out a reply of "We'll figure it out when you're not almost dead."
