Chapter Text
letter 0. Starting Point.
Soft breathing was the only sound that filled the cleaners infirmary, there on one of the medical beds lay a 17 year old Zanka Nijiku, his blonde - brown hair fanning out shortly across the pillow his tassel earrings gently clicking together with each breath, his turquoise eyes fluttering as if having a dream.
His system was still filled with the toxic poison inflicted by his rival, a certain dreadhead named Jabber Wonger. Zanka had been sound asleep in the infirmary for two days since the raiders and the cleaners clashed, being cared for by August's younger sister as he slowly recovered.
God, how Zanka hated...? jabber, this wasn't the first time jabber had put Zanka in the infirmary with his sharp, dangerous, poison filled claws, every time zanka came into contact with him he'd always end up suffering at Jabbers full fledged glee, Jabber always seemed to love watching zanka suffer, jabber also seemed to love to suffer alongside of zanka, the pain making jabber ecstatic with happiness as the masochistic piece of shit he was.
Zankas eyes slowly opened, his head still felt heavy even after two days of sleep but it was at least better than the seering pain he felt when he was brought in. He slowly raised his hand as if to try and grasp at something, just making sure this wasn't a dream, his gaze shifted to the worn door across the room as it slowly opened as if to not wake the sleeping Zanka up. The young fifteen year old Rudo entered the room clutching a bouquet of flowers in his right hand, as soon as Rudo saw Zanka's turquoise eyes staring at him he jumped and let out a small yelp of suprise "GAH...Oh hey zanka your up, how're you feelin?" Zanka saw as Rudo tried to give him a comforting smile that ended up being creepily crooked, that did not make zanka feel any better.
Zanka smiled softly and replied "m feelin ok, heads a bit janky but it's cool" he said as he figeted with his earrings, Rudo nodded silently and called out for enjin to come.
