You didn't like seeing me hurt.

[A2 gets that? It makes sense, but also she knows. She knows humans aren't supposed to be concerned for androids.

In the future, she'll just have to hide her wounds more carefully.

In the future, she'll make sure Aqua doesn't find out so she can't be upset.]

two girls standing in a pool of blood bc theyre gay

[theoceanbetween]

[Aqua, meanwhile, is steadily getting more flustered despite her best efforts? Because she's thinking back to when they met and how insistent A2 has been on assisting her to the point of occasional exasperation, and someone was there to see her through her delirium and then...

And then this.

Like, it makes a terrible amount of sense, but Aqua really doesn't know what to do with that knowledge. Her face has gone from pink to beet red.]

Well, yes. I don't like why it happened either, but...that can wait.

[Aqua finds her out in this extremely awkward situation, bending to touch the floor, fingertips just shy of the edge of some blood splatter.]

Let me clean this up first.

its not even blood its fucking coolant or some shit

[a2brutus]

[Unfortunately for Aqua, A2 is quick on that too, and gently, she leans down as well, catching Aqua's wrist to stop her.]

It's fine. I'll take care of it. It's my mess anyway.

it was part of A2s innards and thats enough squick for Aqua

[theoceanbetween]

[If Aqua could arch her back like a cat's, it would be puffed to hell right now. As it stands, A2's warm metal hand around her wrist is a heightened sensation, and it takes Aqua a lot of self control not to jerk her hand back immediately.

Please, A2, she knows you mean well but she Needs something to focus on. And yet she's almost too tongue tied to argue.]

That...doesn't mean I can't help.

[As tempted as she is to hop back in bed and hide her head under her pillow!!!!!!]

fghsdgfh

[a2brutus]

You don't have to, though.

[Like, she absolutely does not mind cleaning her own android goo up off the floor.]

I don't know if it's safe for you to touch with your bare hands anyway.

me thinking of what disney movie these two would be: lady and the tramp

[theoceanbetween]

I wasn't...!

[Aqua starts, then stops, huffing. As if she would use her bare hands, honestly.

She waves A2 off, still red in the face but absolutely refusing to be beaten. By courtesy, of all things.]

I want to help. And I'll be careful.

fgndjfg yeah

[a2brutus]

[A2 lets go of Aqua's wrist, thankfully for both of them.]

... Are you sure? I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt.

[Which is said completely innocently, all things considered.]

[theoceanbetween]

You...

[This is moving at a pace entirely too fast for Aqua, who gabbles at those words for way longer than she would like before she stands up straight, abuptly. Her posture resembles the one she uses when addressed by her Master.

Just, wow. Like, Aqua would hardly be killed by some acidic android goo, so that's somewhat melodramatic for A2 to say, but melodramatic is also Aqua's taste in romance novels.

Wasn't she supposed to be worried? Wasn't there something that needed to be addressed? A2 got in a fight with someone of a mystery identity after all. And yet. And Yet.]

No, you're right. I'll just...go to bed.

[That's it. In a flounce that echoes Yuna's of Final Fantasy X-2 fame, Aqua is just. Peacing out.

She just got out of bed too!! Good-fucking-night, apparently.]
