Collab between Kimono(Pluto) and Lucius(Gren): Part 1
Gren simply smiled and extended his hand towards Pluto.
"Come with me than. I know a place where we can get something good to eat."Pluto smiled warmly and placed his own dainty hand into Grens, looking to him with a sense of affection.
"So...this means we are friends now then?", he asked teasingly.
Gren smirked and nodded, saying no more. With Pluto in hand, Gren pulled him close to Gren's body. He than jumped off the roof, putting his free hand against the wall to slow their decent. It only took them four seconds to reach the ground where Gren landed with a solid but otherwise nondamaing thud. He let Pluto stand on his own feet once the threat of hitting the ground was over.
"So, what is it that you'll like to eat?" Gren asked as he led Pluto off towards the cafeteria.
Pluto's face brightened gleefully when Gren nodded in agreement to his question. Pluto was most definitely somewhat of a wallflower, but was always thrilled to become friends with others. He loved the positive spirit and aura that was brought about by being with friends. But in a sudden moment, Pluto's thoughts were interrupted when he was suddenly taken by suprise as his small frame was abruptly pulled close and pressed against Gren's much larger frame, who had wrapped his strong arms around Pluto's lithe body and held him firm. Pluto briefly turned red in the face and smiled softly, as Gren jumped off the rail of the roof and keenly braced his hand against the wall to balance their descent until they had finally reached the ground with a thud.
Gren slowly released his grip from around Pluto's frame and Pluto slipped down to the ground on his own two feet. He briefly looked back up at the top from which they had just jumped.
"I could never do that..", Pluto said to Gren in a awkward tone, before turning back to him and pacing along with him as they made their way to the cafeteria.
"Hmmm...I don't know. You have free reign. I'll eat what you eat, except fish. I don't eat fish.", he said in a teasing tone, playing to the fact that he himself, was a fish faunus.
"No fish eh? Alright, let's see..."Sometimes later after the two reached the cafeteria, Gren exited with some food.
Pasta.
"Here we go. Just a bit of noodles with tomatoe sauce, sour cream, green stuff. Enjoy."Gren sat down beside Pluto, eating a bit of his noodles with chopsticks.
Pluto chuckled softly...
"I think those are called curry leaves Gren.", he said in a playful tone, as he took his bowl of pasta and sat down at a table, with Gren sitting next to him soon after. Pluto looked to Gren and frowned, frustrated by his feeble attempts to eat the pasta with the chopsticks. but quickly noticed how effortlessly Gren seemed to use them.
"Oh boy, I'm terrible at this Gren. How do you eat slimy noodles with sticks?", he said in a flustered tone, his pale face turning red in the process.
"Practice. Lots of practice." Gren smiled smuggly as he ate his noodles, most of which he was almost done with. He took a napkin and wiped the sauce off his mouth before plucking some noodles in his chopsticks and raising them up to Pluto's mouth.
"Perhaps you'd perfer if I feed you?"Pluto turned red at Gren's offer and smiled awkwardly...
"Are you sure you want to do that?", he said in a shy and dainty tone. He had never been offered to be fed before. He looked at the chopsticks that Gren had raised to his mouth and looked at them with a confused countenance. Looking at Gren's sincere face to help and then back to the chopsticks, he let out a simple sigh. In the spur of the moment, he launched his face forward, chomping the noodles away from Gren's chopsticks and slurping them into his mouth, not realizing he had gotten a bit of sauce on his small chin. Pluto sighed and smiled at Gren with warm and very thankful eyes...
"Waaaahhh, that was so good", Pluto said in a satisfied tone.
Smiling Gren plucked another small amount of noodles for Pluto.
"Here's some more. And eat slower, you're making a mess." With his other hand Gren reached out and wiped some sauce off Pluto's chin. Gren's hand was oddly... Cold. Gren licked the sauce off his thumb absentmidly.
"So, what do you do for the teachers? I mean, if you're not a hunter, what do they make you do?"Pluto chuckled as he playfully ate from Gren's chopsticks, blushing momentarily when Gren reached out and softly wiped the sauce he hand unknowningly gotten on his chin.
"Oh dear, sorry about that.", he said softly, quickly taking notice of Gren nonchalantly licking the sauce he had just wiped off Pluto's chin. Pluto let out a giggle.
"Well...you see...", he began, but was suddenly distracted by the small gash on Gren's hand. He quickly reached out, and gripped his two dainty hands onto Gren's much larger hand, looking at the injury with concern. He did however, notice how cold Gren's hands were, but, as a fish faunus, his body was particularly cold also.
"Gren your hurt...didn't you notice this cut on your hand?", he asked the faunus sincerely.
As he was going for another scoop of noodles Pluto took Gren's hand. At some point during his exam he had injured it enough for it to break his skin. The gash revealed a bit of his blood, but also a glint. Gren closed his hand to hide it.
"Ah, nah. I got hurt by a lot of things during the exam. I can't worry about every little nick and scratch. Most of my serioues injuries are fine anyways, so the only thing left to heal are these small stuff. Don't worry, here." Gren used his other hand to continue feeding Pluto, which was somewhat less injured aside from the scratched up knuckles.
Pluto shook his head to Gren's attempts to offer him more noodles and looked directly into Gren's eyes. Pluto's face was particularly beautiful and feminine for a boy, especially when looked at directly. Pluto studied Gren's face briefly, before holding out his hand to Gren, making a quick gesture of his head.
"Here, give me your hand. Please?", he asked sincerely, lookng to him comforting and reassuring eyes. Despite Gren saying he was fine, which, he probably was, Pluto was the type of person who felt a compulsion to help others. Although, the way he was about to help Gren, he didn't do often. But, there is always a time and place for everything he figured.
Sighing, Gren ate Pluto's share of the noodles and set his hands down. For a brief moment, he wasn't sure if he wanted Pluto to see them. He could guess that Pluto just wanted to make sure he would be fine, but Gren was a bit scared of what else Pluto might find out. But eventually he relented and showed Pluto his hand. The gash went from his index finger to his thumb. He recognized the injury; he likely got it when he was using the God Eater to rip through that mech.
"So... What are you going to do?"Pluto gave Gren a coy smile. He wasn't quite sure why he felt the need to do this, but, he did. Pluto grasped his small hands around Gren's large hand, placing one on the bottom and the other on top of the gash.
"Umm...just watch. It might feel a little weird, like numbness, but...this is going to hurt me a lot more than its going to hurt you.", he chuckled awkwardly. Focusing intently on Gren's hand that was cupped within his own, a swirling and almost mystical display of colourful radiant lights began emanating from the middle of their clasped hands. The lights would flow and dance around their hands like a stream and Gren's hand would most likely begin to feel numb.
After only a few seconds had passed, the lights dissipated, as well as Gren's numbness, and Pluto released his grasp from Gren's hand. The gash had been healed completely. However, soon after, Pluto grasped his right hand with his left, and groaned softly, wincing as the pain that was in Gren's wound, had passed onto his own hand. His eyes began to water, as the pain that Gren had seemingly been unaware of, was amplified once it had transferred to his own hand.
"Ugh...", he tried to speak through the pain.
"Thi....this is why I am not a hunter. My semblance...it is quite debilitating. I'm not exactly fit for the field with this side effect. I've really gotta raise my tolerance for pain.", he tried to say in a jokish tone, trying to make light of the pain he was currently feeling from healing Gren's wound.
