03 - One of these nights...
Who: Shing Meteoryte and YOU.
Where: Still the hospital. Yep.
When: Forward-dated to anytime between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon.
Style: Action
Status: Open
[There was a quiet groan from Shing as he came to all at once; wincing, it takes him for a while to remember just what had happened. They were... ambushed, right? That... that thing, Vanitas? So many of those creatures... Rin...
And then the flash of pain as a sword was driven into him, lingering just long enough to see Kohaku die before he eventually succumbed.
Yeah, he died.
...
... he doesn't want to look or even talk to anyone right now. Shing groans again, placing a hand on his forehead as he stares up at the ceiling. Oddly enough, it wasn't actually dying that bothered him, but watching Kohaku and Rin suffer as he passed, not being able to do anything but watch... he felt like a failure. Well, he was one, for lack of a better term.
One hand moved to feel around for any scars, but he couldn't feel anything. He wasn't sure if that was a blessing or not yet. It didn't really change the fact that he'd died on everyone, failed protecting Kohaku... just failed everything in general.
Did they hate him for it? Of course, they probably did. He wouldn't have been surprised if that were the case... collapsing back onto the bed, he sighed. Why was he never strong enough when these kinds of things happened...?
Sitting up again and attempting to get out of bed, he winced as his body refused to listen, his head swimming from dizziness. The last thing he wanted was to face either of them right now... how was he going to apologize to them for letting them down so badly?]

But Asbel knew he would never stop trying and that was the important thing here.]
Some things are out of our hands... But if there is something we can do to protect the things important to us, I don't think we should ever give up.
The best part is, we don't have to do it alone.
[He smiled at Shing.]
So yeah, so far, I guess it is working for me.

I promised Kohaku I'd protect her. But... then we both got attacked, and... I watched her die before I, too, lost my life... what am I supposed to do now? I... want to be able to protect her, but... I don't even know if I'll be able to do it successfully next time...
[Shing smiles sadly, lowering his head and crying a little. Congratulations, Asbel, you're the first person so far in this post who's successfully managed to get to the root of poor Shing's problem here.]
What am I supposed to do now...?
no subject
I don't really know, but I think it would be better to try than to just give up.
I know you don't want Kohaku to get hurt again, but if you don't try to protect her, who will?
[And then Asbel had an idea.]
I could help.
no subject
[There's a seriousness in his eyes that wasn't there before as Shing turns to face Asbel, even as he was wiping away his own tears.]
Tell me. What're you thinking...?
no subject
W-Well that depends... What were you back in your world?
no subject
[Plesae to be clarifying, Asbel...]
no subject
[Deep breath.]
Shing, I'm gonna train you!
no subject
[ Shing looks at Asbel seriously; he does need all the help he can get at this point. ]
... please. I... don't want this to happen again. I don't know if I can handle it a second time...
