1:30 am | ln4
you knew you were up too late when you nearly tripped over the loose edge of the blanket you and lando had been sharing on your way back to the couch, and when he had caught you before you could hit your head or anything, you started laughing.
“oh, no,” he’d groaned dramatically. “got the late night giggles already, huh?”
“uh-uh,” you shook your head, even though him saying the words “late night giggles” was enough to make laughter start bubbling up in your throat again.
something always shifted in you when the clock struck a certain hour at night, and lando had only been witness to it a handful of times before you moved in together.
now, you’d managed to get through the rest of the movie the two of you were watching without laughing, even if it meant biting your lip hard and refusing to make eye contact with your boyfriend. it was bad enough feeling his eyes on you every time he wanted to see your reaction to something that happened on the tv. making eye contact would just take you out entirely for no reason whatsoever.
which is why you think you’ve successfully avoided making a fool of yourself when you’re both finally laying in bed with the lights out at the fine hour of 1:30 in the morning.
“you’re so far away,” lando grumbles, dragging your body into his so his one arm is around your shoulders and your face is nestled in his neck.
“better?” you ask, smiling when he shivers as your lips brush his skin.
“mhmm.” he’s quiet for a moment, running his fingers up and down your arm. “you’re gonna come to miami, right?”
“yeah, if you want me to.”
“what kind of question is that, babe?” he cranes his neck in a way that tells you he’s fixing you with a judgy look even though you can’t see each other.
you shrug, feeling the giggles building up again for no reason whatsoever. “i dunno.”
“obviously i want you there, why wouldn’t i?”
“i dunno,” you repeat. “it’s miami. maybe you just wanna party with all your homies.” and just like that, you’re laughing again.
“oh dear god, here we go,” he sighs, pressing his lips together to repress his own laughter as your body shakes against his. “my homies? when have i ever referred to any of my mates as my ‘homie’?”
he sounds so incredulous that you laugh even harder. “oh, you’re so british! i can’t call them your mates, lan. it sounds too weird.”
“so homies is the word you went with? why can’t you be normal and just say my friends?”
“why can’t you be normal and say your friends?” you shoot back, and that does lando in.
“it’s not funny,” he tries to admonish, and it’s entirely true, but it’s a moot point when you can barely understand him through his laughter.
“stop laughing then!”
“you stop!”
naturally, that makes you both laugh harder still, to the point where you have to roll away from him, clutching your stomach from how badly all the laughing is making it hurt.
“i can’t breathe,” lando gasps from behind you.
“stop laughing,” you repeat. “you’re killing me.”
“i think i’m dying,” he continues like he didn’t hear you, and he honestly might not have because your face is half shoved into your pillow in your attempts to stifle yourself.
a few more minutes go by of the two of you absolutely losing your minds before you’re finally able to catch your breath.
“ow,” you whine, holding your stomach. “i think i just grew a six pack.”
“i think mine just became ten times more defined,” lando says, voice raspy from all the exertion on his vocal chords.
“ooh, lemme feel.”
“absolutely not, because you’re going to tickle me,” he grabs your wrist out of thin air. “i know your tricks, baby. i’ve laughed more than enough tonight thanks to you.”
“not my fault you’re weird and british.”
“i love you,” he says sweetly, pulling you back towards him and kissing your forehead. “now’s where you say, ‘i love you too.’”
“i love you too,” you reply dutifully, blindly reaching for his face so you can kiss him properly. “even though you’re weird and british.”
he kisses you again. “i thought it was especially because i’m weird and british.”
you snuggle into his side, now thoroughly exhausted. “please don’t make me laugh more, lan.”
you both know he’s right, of course, but you usually need to have the last word, so he lets you get away with it. he does love you, after all, even though you had him in stitches over nothing at 1:30 in the morning.

Duke is a much smaller Duke one day, he's lost all his memories beyond the young age he is now and he's scared and confused.
He doesn't know where is. But then there's Tim, his Robin! And suddenly everything is ok.
The bats have no idea what's going on, but Duke refuses to go to anyone but Tim. He's also a little ball of energy bouncing off all the walls, and Tim is SO tired. "Robin- Tim, come play tag with me!"
One night Tim ends up passing out at his desk, a sleeping Duke cuddling into him on his lap.
Except when Duke wakes up Tim is small too.
And he doesn't remember who Duke is!!
So Duke reintroduces himself and Tim let's himself be dragged downstairs to the actually Batcave!
Bruce is looking at them in absolute astonishment, they're so small!!
Damian laughs at Tim's smallness and Tim gives a cold glare. Maybe age can't change some things.
"where are Nightwing and the new Robin?" Tim asks.
"I'm Robin."
"no, I meant Jason!" Tim huffs and crosses his arms. Ah, he's so young he still believes Jay is Robin.
Duke is still clinging to him, but Tim can't bring himself to mind all too much.
Bruce doesn't know how to handle these boys, between a hyperactive Duke and an absolute menace Tim.
Dick tries to help, but even he can't keep up with the mischief and shenanigans they get up to together.
"dick pick us up!"
"yeah! Pick us up pick us up! And swing us around until we get dizzy!"
"again!"
"again!"
It's time to bring out the big guns, and by that they mean calling Jason over to the manor.
Tim settles immediately, but Duke remains overly weary around the large man with guns strapped to his thighs. He's kinda scary.
But Tim likes Jason well enough. At some point he ends up cuddled up with Jason who's stretched out on the couch, and Duke is just a little bit jealous.
"hey stop hogging him! Tim is mine," Duke pouts.
Jason raises an eyebrow at the boy, and Tim tilts his head. "You know there's enough room for both of us up here, right? Jason is a lot bigger than he used to be."
Duke considers this. "Mm okay, but only because you're up there". And he climbs up into Jason's lap to cuddle into Tim's side.
It's calm for a moment, until Duke starts to fidget, not able to stay still for too long. Jason let's put an annoyed noise and looks at them over the top of his book. "Would you quit it I'm tryna read here".
"what are you reading?" Duke asks.
"Macbeth."
Tim scrunched his nose up. "Why are you reading that?"
"I like it. Reminds me of school", and Tim catches something in his tone that Duke absolutely doesn't.
"it sounds silly. Will you red it to us?"
Jason looks at the both of them for a very long moment before signing. "Sure, but you've gotta stay still, your knees are already in my ribs."
The three of them all end up falling asleep like that, tucked into the lounge and curled up together.
Except when they wake up in the morning, Jason is scrawny little boy, even smaller than Tim and Duke.
Tim explains what he can to the tiny Jason as Duke sneaks some snacks from the kitchen cupboard for them.
Cass catches them stuffing their faces with junk food and squeals. "Three baby brother's now!" And scoops them all up as the quick and try to squirm away.
"gotta tell B"
"wait who are you exactly?" Jason asks.
"big sister", Cass smiles and pets his curls.
"no way! Really? That's so cool, I've never had a big sister before", he exclaims.
Cass carries all three of them down to the Batcave because she's so strong and awesome! And Jason can't believe he ends up with such a cool sister.
"Batman!!!" Jason shouts in pure excitement, and Bruce turns around and almost cries.
Because look how small!! Oh baby Jay lad!! So precious and smol!
"I think the de-aging syndrome may be contagious", Tim speaks up. "You should have us all properly quarantined until you can find a cure."
quarantine is fun, for Jason and Tim at least (tiny Tim is plotting revenge on whoever caused this, Jason is reading and occasionally shouting at the characters). Duke can't stand having to stay still in the same one room for so long.
idk where this is going, but consider this awesome 3am idea of mine

Fates Intertwined (Noah Sebastian x F!Biker!Reader)
This work is entirely fictional involving real life people. Situation and feelings do not reflect the individuals involved in real life. Simply work of fiction and brain worm that came about after my aesthetic I made.
Tag list: @darkmxgician @jilliemiw86 @littlefoxkota
Chapter 2
A few days later, I text Noah to see if he wants to hang out. I wanna know more about him, like his job, his hobbies, his interests. Doesn’t help that he’s really cute. No no no Y/N no don’t think like that of him. As I wait for him to reply, I start to think of ideas for the next video. I look at my phone and see that Cleo is Facetiming me. I answer and set the phone down as I type on my laptop.
“Hey girl,” I say
“Hey girl what you up to?” She asks
“Not a whole lot, I texted Noah just waiting for him to get back to me,” I say and she smirks.
“Noah and Y/N sitting in a tree,” She sings and I groan.
“It’s not like that, we’re just friends,” I say and she laughs.
“Yeah for now,” She says and I shake my head.
“We just met Cleo, we’ll just see where it goes,” I say
“Anyways I have a date tonight,” She says
“Ooo with who?” I ask
“His name is Mason and he’s really sweet,” She says
“Picture of him,” I say. She shows me a picture of him and he is pretty cute, has lots of tattoos like Noah.
“Oo he’s a cutie, if you guys work out see if he has any friends for me,” I say with a chuckle. She smiles and nods.
“You got it sis,” She says. I see the notification that Noah texted me back. I pick up the phone and see what he says.
Noah: just heading to the mall with the guys, wanna tag along?
Me: sure let me just change and I will meet you guys there. Who is coming along anyways?
I see Noah is typing when Cleo grabs my attention again.
“Earth to Y/N,” She says
“Sorry Noah texted me. Going to the mall with him and his friends,” I say
“Ooo well I will let you go then. Have fun and don’t get murdered,” She says and I laugh.
“Same goes for you Cleo,” I say and she laughs.
“We have our locations so talk to you later,” She says and hangs up. I look back at my messages and see that Noah responded.
Noah: Jolly, Davis, and both Nick’s
Me: will meet you guys there in an hour 🙂
I change into appropriate clothes and grab my backpack and helmet. I text Noah that I am on my way to the mall and reeve up my bike. I make sure I have my film camera and regular one in case I wanna take pictures. As I drive to the mall, I play some Motionless in White through my bike speakers. As I drive to the mall, I wave at my fellow bikers and jam out to their music. As I wait at a red light I send a quick text to Noah that I’m about ten minutes away. As I pull up, I spot Noah and Davis out of the group and wave to them. They wave back and I park my bike and take off my helmet. I get off after switching the engine off and walk over to them.
“Hey Noah hey Davis,” I say
“Hey Y/N,” They say. I look at the three other men and the shorter one looks at me like he fell in love or something. The two taller ones chuckle at him and shake their heads.
“I”m Jolly,”
“Nick Ruffilo,”
The last one to introduce himself to me finally snaps out of it and I giggle. Aww how cute
“I’m Nick Folio,”
“Nice to meet you guys, I’m Y/N,” I say with a smile. They smile back and we walk inside.
Jolly’s POV
When we walk in, I stay in the back with Noah.
“Does she know we are in a band?” I ask him and he shakes his head.
“I don’t think she does,” He says
“Good, last thing you need is a fan to fall in love with you,” I say and he chuckles.
“I mean fans already are? Besides she seems cool,” He says
“Just don’t want you to get hurt man,” I say
“I know dude, let’s just have fun and get to know her,” He says and walks towards the front to talk to her.
“I know you don’t trust her Jolly, I don’t fully either but we need to see how this plays out before we make assumptions about her.” Davis says
“You do have a point…ok I will give her a chance for Noah,” I say
“We all will,” Davis says
Let’s hope this doesn’t end in shambles

That Dragon Au Part 10

Things happen. :D

First Chapter/ Previous Chapter/ Next Chapter
Content under the cut!
Chapter 10: A Family Grows Tighter
Warrior's looking at the ground. "Are you alright? Do you feel ok?"
Enno looks up at him, a bit confused “I’m alive, but not hurt. You’re the one that got hit. We heard you from your room.” They hold his hands. “Are you ok Link?”
"Ah." His other hand comes up to his head. "I'm alright."
He smiles, subdued and downtrodden. His lip wobbles for a moment before he pulls them into a tight hug. His grip is borderline crushing, he's holding them so tightly.
"I was terrified." He admits in a whisper. "And then I saw you..... there... right after..."
He hugs Enno tighter by a fraction. "You were there..."
Enno hugs him back, letting him have this. But they have the slight inclination that he might be mad at them.
“I heard you and couldn’t just leave you there.” They lean into him, taking him in. They look up at him. Their chin was on his chest as they looked up at him. “I know I’m not a fighter. But I am impulsive.”
"You came for me..." He tilts his head back to them momentarily before going back to where he was. "Thank you."
He takes a deep breath. "She was going to go straight for you. I was so angry... I sliced into her. And then she vanished. I thought... I thought she was going to." He starts shaking.
He pulls back and cups their cheek, tilting them up to kiss them gently. He might start crying. "I thought I'd lose you. It would have been my fault."
"Warrior?! Enno?!" Wind calls down the hallway. "....Dad? .....Moma?"
Enno freezes at the nickname and Wind’s calls before they started blushing
“We are here sweetheart.” They called back, still hugging Warrior.
“It wouldn’t be your fault by the way. There is no need to put that much on your shoulders.” Enno said to Warrior before Wind could arrive. “But the feelings are the same. That’s why I came to you. If you were to pass away…” They shake their head. “Lets’ not think about that. Our son needs us.”
Warrior sniffles and wipes his eyes quickly. "I knew she'd try something though! I'm the one-"
"Guys!" Wind spots them and runs to them both. He crashes into both of them, wrapping one arm around each. He looks up to Enno with a miserable face. "You said five minutes!"
Enno leaned down and kissed his forehead, “I’m sorry Sailor. Things got a little more hectic than I was expecting. But everything is fine now. Let's all go back to the room.” They bring Wind into this mini hug. They’re not tired though- so who knows how they’re going to spend the time in the room.
Wind sniffles and hugs both of them tighter.. "The guards said it was bad."
Warrior tenses.
"They saw the blood. I didn't know if it was yours or-"
"Hers." Warrior wraps his arm around him too, looking at Enno. "We're ok."
“We are safe. You are safe.” Enno gives Wind a pat on the head and sends Warrior a ‘I will lie but I’m not happy about you being hurt’ look. Then they bend down to pick Wind up.
“Up we go.” They said, struggling a bit but still managed to pick Wind up.
Warrior helps them instinctually to support him properly before placing his hand at the small of their to guide them down the hallway. He is on the constant look out as Wind quietly tries to calm himself against Enno, purring for comfort. Warrior runs his hands through Wind's hair, not once stopping. He needs to get back to the comfort and safety of his room. Everything else is more vulnerable than he'd like.
Enno purrs with Wind to calm him down. They walked in relative silence the entire time. It was because Enno didn’t know what to say in front of Wind. The journey to Warrior’s room seemed shorter but also longer than before. They got there at the end though.
“Unpacking timeeee.” Enno sighed, remembering that they and Wind still needed to do that gift thing.It felt like the mood was ruined for that though. Enno slowly started to feel emotionally exhausted. Most of their feelings were numbed at this point.
Warrior opens the door and freezes.
There is a mountain of gold and jewels and treasures on his bed. It’s large enough where it’s overflowing onto the ground. The things they bought are stuffed in the corner of the room.
Warrior’s eyes widen and he's stuck by the door.
Wind looks up. "Oh yeah, that's here too."
“I didn’t see that before.” Enno said, looking over it. they should have bought the ottoman for the room. At least it could help organize some of this. “Where should we put it, Captain?”
Warrior coughs and closes his door. "Uhhh..... I don't have enough room in here to hide it all."
Wind pushes himself off of Enno, his feet hitting the floor gently. "You're gonna have to get a cave or a magic chest to put it all so Cia can't get anything."
Warrior moves to the pile and picks up a few pieces of treasure. "Take something."
He turns to the both of them. "This is more than I thought it would be. Take something for yourself.... You especially, Enno."
"I-" Enno looked between Warrior and the treasure.
"I don't-" There was a pause as they tried to get their thoughts in order. "I don't need much, because I have both of you. I did see an ottoman at the store today. I thought about buying it so you would have room to grow. But uh..." They gesture to the pile. "I wasn't expecting this."
Warrior snorts. He moves over to them and gently pulls them to his side. "You should have gotten it."
"It was big and I didn't want to spend that much with your money." Enno lets him bring them in and proceeds to hug him back.
"I insist. It's not about you needing it. Take whatever you want."
"Can I take you?" Enno tried to avoid the topic by flirting.
Warrior snorts, leaning over to kiss them. "You already have me."
"Gross." Wind sticks his tongue out, already looking through the jewels and gold. He's tossing a lot of it on the floor without much care. "The nobles here sure like their fancy stuff."
"That they do." Warrior grimaces at the sound of his carelessness. "Come."
He takes Enno’s hand and leads them to the bed. "At least help me sort through it?"
"I can do that." They move some of the treasure on the floor and start to make specific piles.
"We probably should figure out how to store this before we leave." There was gold, rupees, gems and other miscellaneous stuff. "Just so when we come back, we don't have to think about it. Tonight we just want it off of the bed and out of the way. That should be fine, right?"
"Yes." Warrior sighs, looking through it and passing smaller clumps of the pile for Enno to sort through. Wind has since stopped making a mess and has begun to toss what he already moved into the same piles. He's helping to organize.
"I don't want to do anything else today." Warrior admits. "I wanna end today on a good note and ignore the bump on my head."
"How'd you get that?" Wind perks up. "Was it Cia?"
"I crashed into the door."
"Oh, it was you being dumb. Ok." Wind calms back down, a snicker on his own lips. "Got it."
Warrior sticks his tongue out.
Enno snickered at the comment too but continued to sort, getting into a groove with it.
"You can start to turn in early." They offered. "I enjoy doing repetitive tasks so I can do this alone. Just take things off of the bed. Be careful because I think my stuff is still underneath all of it."
"And leave you alone?" Warrior raises an eyebrow. "No way. I would have had to do this anyway. I have to know what's at my disposal."
Wind grins and stands up straight. "It's a lot of stuff though. He'd need to help get everything off, including your stuff. Or else he risks being crushed under it all....or breaking it."
"I'm not a fan of either of those options." Warrior mumbles. "At least it's not heavy labor."
Enno glanced at Warrior's shoulder that was hit. They bite their lip but look away again.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." They dig through more of the unorganized pile. With every ruby Enno picked up, the thought of Warrior's scales came into mind. "I don't understand collecting gems or gold. But I think that's more of a me thing." Enno said out loud. "I collected different things in my world."
Both Warrior and Wind freeze and stiffen up.
Warrior looks back at them with an interest, a soft smile on his face. "What did you collect?"
"Mmmmm ...so one of my collections you guys don't really have here. The closest would be brooches. They are just small pins that have an image on them. I like to have themes that I collect so I don't just buy all of them. The group with the most are basically the places I or my dad have been." Enno tried to explain, focusing more on organizing. "Then the other collection I just do for fun is stuffed animals. Those people normally just gift me, unless I really get attached to one while I'm out. I more or less collect things to remind myself of places or people or moments."
Warrior hums and looks back to the treasure. "I like that. It's endearing."
Wind tilts his head and goes back to sorting. "Tetra likes to get as much gold as she can. She would try to take this entire pile if she could."
Enno turned back to reach for more but there was none.
"Is there more?" They turned around. "I was actually slightly spacing out while doing that."
They moved closer so that they were partly lying on the bed. They know that they need to help with the last of this and finish organizing it but Warrior might still have work to do despite his proclaimed “days off”. "Tomorrow, remind me to go out to see if I can find something."
"Would you remember your way around?" Warrior places the last of the treasure aside.
"I can go!" Wind offers.
Warrior smiles and manages to dig out Enno’s things from the bottom of the pile. "You could.... if Enno is ok with it."
"Moma, please!" Wind jumps in front of them, his hands lacing together in front of him. "Please! I'll be good. I promise."
They were taken back once more by Wind's student nickname. "It's just going to be a short trip are you sure?" Enno gathered their stuff to get their normal pj's out. Avoiding acknowledging their flustered stat, they began fiddling with the braids and ribbon still on their head. "Can you help get the headband out Cap?"
"Ah- right." Warrior drops what he had and moves over to them immediately.
"Yes! I can do it! I can show you around!" Wind jumps up and down. "Please? Please!"
Warrior slowly plucks out their hair and pulls their hair out gently, letting them fall and detangle themselves.
He pulls the headband out. "Better?"
"Very. Thank you." Enno turned to give him a kiss. "And Wind, we can look for a magic chest or something together. I just need to do one thing in the morning before we leave."
Warrior hums, running his fingers through their hair. He hands them their headband.
"Take care ok? I..." Warrior sighs, tired. "Will have to fill out a report."
"It's a short trip out, don't worry." Enno reached up to give his hair a ruffle. "Think about it this way we won't be out long so we will just come back and annoy you while you work."
Warrior groans but he grins. "Please.. I'd love nothing more."
Wind's smile turns a bit tight. "Is it about today?"
"....Yeeaaahhhh..." Warrior sighs.
Enno wanted to ask what happened to Cia but they shut up only for Wind’s sake. “I hope it’s not much. I rather you don’t have to spend all day inside.” Enno said before checking the time. “We should get to bed.”
"I didn't start this." Warrior says. "And it was a long time coming. So I think I'll be fine. I've just never been a fan of paperwork. However, I got out of it in Pinky's case... can't really escape this one."
Wind frowns and climbs onto the bed. "But you're not in trouble, right?"
Warrior looks over and climbs in as well, latching onto Wind to give him a noogie. "I'll take care of it. Don't you worry bout a thing."
“Alright boys, time to get ready for sleep.” Enno looked on, smiling softly before getting up and gathering their pj’s. They went into the bathroom to change quickly, feeling a bit weird that they’re not wearing anything oversized. “Hey, can I keep this tunic?”
"Which one?" Warrior calls out. "The one you have on or something that I didn't notice you grab- what?"
"Surprise!" Wind shouts. "It's for you. I hid it in your pocket."
Enno’s smile grows knowingly as they come back out of the bathroom. “This is the one I want.”
They hold up the red tunic.
“What cha got there?” They fold the tunic and put it on the dresser to put back in the morning.
Warrior looks to Enno and the watch in his hands. He looks back at them. "You set this up."
He smiles.
Wind grins and leans back on the bed. "They told me too."
"I believe you."
Enno rolled their eyes affectionately. “Maybe. It's a small thing some families do in my world. Let me live.” They crawl into the bed. “What are you going to do about it?”
"Treasure it forever and always." Warrior says, tucking it in one of his pockets. "I'm never going anywhere without it now."
Warrior crawls over to them and kisses them again. "Thank you."
He grabs onto Wind and wrestles with him for a moment too before he also gives him a kiss to his hair. "And you pirate...I didn't even notice."
Wind giggles. "I'm very sneaky."
“He is a pirate.” Enno points out. “You’re welcome. I told you I would only buy for you and-“ Enno joined in hugging Wind, snuggling with him, “-our wonderful cute son.”
Wind groans as he tries to get out of the hold. "I'm not cute!"
"You're super cute." Warrior pinches his cheek. "Handsome even."
Enno started purring contently, giving both boys kisses. Wind got a forehead kiss while Warrior got a kiss close to his lips but purposely missing. “Both of my amazing boy’s are cute and sweet and amazing.”
Warrior grunts in dissatisfaction but doesn't do anything about it. "And you are lovely and wonderful and kind and caring."
Wind snickers and simply cuddles closer to the both of them like the night before. "Good night Dad. Goodnight Moma."
“Nighty night. Love you.” Enno lets the boy breathe so he could sleep. They looked at Warrior and reached out to cup his face. “You should sleep too. Its sounds like a fun day for you tomorrow”
Warrior rolls his eyes, his hand coming up to cup theirs too. "I'm so excited. Be safe. For my sake and yours, ok?"
“I would say what's the worst that can happen…” Enno turned to kiss his hand. “We will be safe. It’s only for an hour or two. I promise.”
Warrior smiles and fully leans against the pillows now. "Alright. That's do-able."
Wind yawns once more and turns towards Enno. He snuggles closer, gripping their shirt with his hands.
Warrior snorts. "Goodnight kid."
Enno feels their heart melt as Wind cuddles into them. They play with his hair as he sleeps. However, Enno was worried about what could happen now that Warrior wouldn’t be with them the following morning. When they knew that Wind was fully asleep, they finally asked, “What’s going to happen with Cia? Will it be ok for us to go out?”
Warrior hums and doesn't answer them for a while. "She's incapacitated. Unconscious. She won't be able to get to you guys anyway. But that's not what I'm worried about."
He looks up from Wind and reaches over to them, tucking their hair behind their ear. "I'm paranoid to a fault. But what happened with Pinky is not exactly giving me confidence about this."
He looks back down adoringly at Wind. "I trust him though. He may be the smallest of us but he's right. He's sneaky. It should be fine."
“Same but like… Would someone do the same thing to me when I’m a dragon and now that I have a claim?” They whispered, confused. “I mean I trust Wind too, but I thought the reason that happened was because Pinky is a human.”
"....I dont know..." Warrior admits. "Pinky would have been under Time's protection and dragons can figure out… more or less the power behind the dragon that made the claim. That should have been enough of a deter. Then again I've met the guy and he's always been selfishly stupid. The fact that she's just a human may have been a part of his calculation as well though. …Seeing that she wouldn't have been able to fight back."
Warrior pauses and lays down. "In any case, you can always shock them like you did to Cia if they tried and I know Wind won't go down without a fight. Just remember to bring some magic potions when you go out, ok? Just in case."
"I was going to head down to the medical center to get a quick check up before we go." Enno admitted quietly. "I want to know how bad it is, but that’s for later. Bedtime."
Warrior hums and nods. "Let me know how it goes, ok?"
"Of course." They put their head down and start to rest. "Nighty night, pretty boy."
"Goodnight gorgeous." Warrior takes a breath and closes his eyes.
He falls asleep instantly.
Despite recent events, the trio shockingly didn't wake up from any knocking on the door. No one came to bother them for a change.
Enno woke up to find Warrior out of the bed again. Wind, however, was still fast asleep, curled up next to them. They smiled down at Wind and gently kissed his forehead before peeling him off and slipping out, stretching.
Warrior steps out of the bathroom with only his pants on. He's drying his hair roughly with the towel as he b-lines toward his dresser. To his credit, he's incredibly silent.
Enno turned their head to say good morning but instantly turned away, blushing. They slide off the bed and go get their stuff, wondering if they should wear their own clothing today. "Morning."
Warrior froze and looked back at them. He notices their blush but says nothing.
"Did I wake you up?" He asks quietly for Wind's sake.
Enno shook their head, not trusting their voice as they dug through their stuff. They tried to calm themselves down, taking out wearable clothing. "I am probably going to head down to the medical center now. If Wind wakes up, tell him I'll meet him at breakfast?"
Warrior hums, tossing the towel over his shoulders. "Tell me how it goes. I'll be here for the most part but if you come back and I'm not, I'll most likely be in my office."
Wind groans in his sleep, shifting but not waking. Warrior shakes his head but doesn't comment on the boy. He goes back to looking for a decent and clean shirt to wear. Enno changes quickly, giving Warrior a kiss. "See you."
They take their bag and head off.
Warrior followed them but they moved too fast for him to be able to kiss them again properly. He thinks it's funny. "Bye bye. Be safe. Don't get lost."
“I won’t.” They bolted. The quicker, the better.
Wind startles from the door shutting with more force than strictly necessary. He looks around and sits up. "Moma?"
"Just left, buddy." Warrior smiled. "Good morning."
"Good morning, dad." Wind flops back against the bed.
Enno was rushing down the stairs, only to come face to face with nurses rushing around. “Huh, maybe another day...”
One doctor stops before they can get away. "I'm sorry, Are you here for something?"
"Ah- Yes. I was hoping to get a check up." Enno instantly became awkward. "The last two days I haven't done any magic but it still was being drained. I felt very weak, face numbed, shaking and nauseous. It only went away when my partner gave me a magic potion. I got concerned because of all those symptoms and wanted to see if you guys could do anything to check to make sure everything is ok." They look behind the doctor, seeing the chaos just beyond the reception desk. They lie through their teeth. "If you guys are busy, I can come back tomorrow if possible."
The doctor looked torn. He looks behind him and then back to them and sighs. "There's one room we can get you in. I'll have to send a nurse in and get you checked up. I won't personally be able to look at you but you're in luck, our specialist is in today. She will be able to more accurately look you over. I'll see if she has an open spot."
"Thank you. I'm sorry for adding more work for you guys." Enno followed him to the room.
The doctor sighs and opens up a room. There's multiple people bustling about. There is a whole corner of the wall taken out.
"We've been very busy and have had two break ins in the last 24 hours. Not only are we trying to up security but we're also dealing with some confidential patients. Please forgive the inconvenience." The doctor bows and turns around. "The nurse will be here shortly. I'll let her know that there's a dragon waiting for treatment."
"Ah- no, I understand. Thank you for everything." They smiled and sat on the bed, waiting for the nurse. This was the most annoying part but at least they were taken in.
Enno had to wait for at least 30 minutes before a frazzled looking nurse came into the room. "I'm so sorry for the wait. We're trying to get as much done as we can with short staff and unexpected events. I'll be your nurse for today. I just need to take your vitals and the doctor will be in shortly-"
The door opens and a tall woman with curly brown hair steps into the room.
"....The Doctor is here." The nurse sighs, trying to rush through the process.
