FLUFF MEME

FOR EMA, the most terrible awkward 4 i guess

[onegreeneye]

He should have said something earlier.

He really, really should have said something earlier, but he didn't first because he didn't think of it, and once he did he... just didn't know how to say it. He doesn't know if he should, or if he's just overthinking things again.

Why does this have to be so difficult?

Well, he's not solving anything but just not mentioning it to her, and he knows that the longer this goes on the worse it's going to get. So he's got to say something, one way or another.

Apparently, that way is by spending several minutes trying to carry on a conversation as if nothing is wrong despite obviously avoiding eye contact, and then finally managing to sort of mumble, "Hey, should-- I think maybe we should talk about something."

[skyentologist]

Ema takes a moment to have a long, luxurious stretch, before flopping over onto Ginko's lap.

"Is this a serious kind of conversation?"

Ginko kind of uses this tone of voice for a lot of stuff.

[onegreeneye]

"Uh... yeah, I guess it is." He goes to start running his claws through her hair, purely on impulse, before hesitating. Nope. No, stop, this is exactly the sort of thing that might be a problem. He thinks. Maybe.

"I... know the timing might not be the best. Sorry." Is there a good time for this? He really should stop worrying about that so much before he hurts himself or something.

[skyentologist]

She leans into the petting, pouting a little when he stops.

"Should I be sitting up for this? Because I just got comfy."

[onegreeneye]

"...Maybe? You don't have to." He really should not be struggling with how to answer that incredibly simple question. His tail flicks nervously.

Okay if he keeps putting this off he's just going to end up backing out of saying anything at all. Ginko hunches his shoulders a little, examining the ceiling very carefully. "What... are we doing here, exactly?"

it's time for illness bs

[escapefromincarcecon]

Under normal circumstances, Myaxx would have gotten up hours ago. She may not be as prone to constant work as Newt can be at times, but she does tend to get restless if she doesn't have something to do.

Of course, under normal circumstances, she doesn't feel like death itself. Which is why she's mostly spent the day curled up on her side on her too-small (read: human-sized) mattress, making frustrated grumbles and growls after each burst of wet-sounding coughing.

[kaijugrrroupie]

Newt's been puttering around the clinic as he always does, helping people with or without appointments and working on parts for the Autobots when he has lulls in his schedule. He's been so busy that he almost doesn't notice the fact that Myaxx still hasn't come downstairs. Almost.

It's almost 3pm by the time Newt abandons his desk to go and find her, wincing as he hears the coughing from up the hallway. He pokes his head around the doorframe, tilting his head.

"Hey... you okay in here? You haven't even shouted at me once today."

[escapefromincarcecon]

"No." She coughs again, wincing and covering her mouth with the back of one hand. "I'm not okay, and it's your fault."

You'd think he had given her his cold intentionally, from the irritation in her voice.

[kaijugrrroupie]

He gives her a crooked smile before stepping into the room, stopping in front of the bed with his hands on his hips. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows and the fabric is covered in oil and energon stains from what he'd been working on all day. He sort of looks a mess. But not as much as Myaxx does,.

"I didn't even think it was possible for you to get human viruses," Newt offers, before crossing the rest of the distance and settling to sit on the bed next to her. He presses a hand against her forehead, which he's pretty sure won't give him any insight on what was going on but hey it's what his dad did to him when he was sick, and frowns at her.

"Symptoms?"

18 is made of pain

[solperierat]

So. That happened.

Edward hobbled his way up the steps of Ginko's apartment, clutching his arm and both wings dragging limply behind him. He hadn't even known he was being stalked until it was too late--there had been too many hunters for him to fight off on his own, but he'd put up a pretty good defense, he thought. But then the whistle came out, and...

Well, he's pretty thankful for that vampire, whoever they had been.

He's pretty messed up. His left arm is broken, as are both wings in multiple places. His knee is messed up something fierce but he can just barely walk on it, and his horns are cracked all the way through, and one broken off halfway down. He's littered with cuts and bruises, and if it weren't for that minotaur endurance he's about 90% certain he'd be passed out on the street.

Ed doesn't so much stop at Ginko's door as he just falls against it, and raps it weakly with his good hand. "Ginko?"

[onegreeneye]

Ginko's ears swivel toward the knock on the door, and he turns to face it more fully when he recognizes Ed's voice. Eagerness flickers across his face for a moment as he gets up from his table to go open the door, but-- something does strike him as kind of off.

When he opens the door, he suddenly knows what it is. He catches hold of Ed with a quiet, startled sound, pulling him inside and shutting the door hurriedly. He pulls him over to the couch, setting him down carefully to sit on the couch. "--Ed! Ed, what happened? How bad is it?"

[solperierat]

Edward clings onto Ginko, growling faintly from the pain and leaning heavily on the larger man. "Rotans...fuckin' mobbed me in an alley," he groans. "Just need help patchin' up, I'll be alright."

He is so not going to be alright. Ed pretty much falls onto the couch with a pained whimper, clutching his arm to his side. He can't even think about pulling his wings in, it hurts too much to even try.

[onegreeneye]

"They--"

Ginko swears under his breath, gritting his teeth as one hand curls into a fist for a moment. Nope, no, now is not the time, he's got to focus on helping Ed.

"Patching up is an understatement." He moves the thankfully short distance to grab his bag off its hook by the door, as well as the stack of wooden rods he's been accumulating for splints. Somehow, those seem to come in handy a lot here.

He crouches down in front of Ed, looking him over with a frown. "Do you think you could lie on your stomach? I want to deal with your wings first."

ZOOTOPIA AU BS, 1 i guess??

[onegreeneye]

Newt working late - ridiculously late - is really nothing new, and generally Ginko knows better than to question it. Of course, there's a difference between being concerned that the otter's absence means that Something Is Wrong and just being concerned that he's... being himself. And doing things he usually does. Like completely forgetting to eat.

So, finally, Ginko makes his way to where he knows Newt works, making his way to the right room with a bag of cheap takeout in hand. He finally knocks on the frame of the open door a moment before stepping in.

"Hey, Newt, if your paws are in something dead you might wanna get them out." It's time for dinner, whether he's done working or not.

[kaijugrrroupie]

Newt's been up to his snout in great white shark all day and hadn't even realised that it wasn't light outside anymore. His small workspace has been moved to accomdate the large autopsy desk that holds the great carcass--it been over ten feet longer than he is from tip to tail--and there's trolleys with extracted organs sitting beside it, dripping on the floor. The whole room smells as good as you'd expect it, and there's loud rock music blaring from his computer desk.

At first, Newt's nowhere to be seen, it's just Ginko and the dead shark which is angled so it's practically staring at the door, rows of teeth visible from its open mouth. But the gills almost appear the be moving--as if the thing was still alive and struggling to breathe. A webbed paw suddenly erupts from one of the gills, scrabbling around for something, before an angry squeak of frustration alerts Ginko to where Newt is. Inside the massive shark, too busy to have noticed Ginko yet.

[onegreeneye]

Oh wow okay looks like it's just a paw that isn't in something dead. Ginko jumps slightly, nearly dropping the bag of food, when Newt's paw sticks out of the shark's gills. He forces himself to relax, and, wrinkling his nose a little, move closer to the shark.

He leans over to try to look kind of... into the shark from a different angle and speaks up again, louder this time.

"Hey! You planning on coming out of there or did you finally get eaten by one of your own dissection subjects?"

[kaijugrrroupie]

Newt actually hears Ginko this time, nose twitching as he realises who it is. He carefully squirms his way out of the carcass, dropping to the floor out of the long slice down the belly. He's absolutely covered in viscera, tissue and blood clinging to his fur and soaking his shirt through. There's still a happy little smile on his muzzle though as he pulls the gloves off his paws--the only part of him not covered in ooze.

"Ginko! What're you doing here?"

morning after/kelpie and faerie bs for newt

[onegreeneye]

Ginko has never been a heavy sleeper, exactly; he'll wake up at the slightest sound or movement, ready to act or run as necessary. And that was before turning into a kelpie pushed him from cautious to outright skittish.

That said, he also tends to sleep a lot. Which means that it's likely not until Newt stirs that he starts to actually wake up.

"...Mnn." He shifts a little, eyes squeezed shut as he tries to process the unfamiliar feeling of Newt cuddled up against his shoulder.

...Oh. Wait. Now he remembers.

Suddenly he is very, very still.

"...Um."

[kaijugrrroupie]

Newt's needed a good nights sleep for weeks, and after an evening like last night he's sure to get it. He's pretty much stayed curled up in the crook of Ginko's shoulder, only a little tangled in his ridiculously long hair when his wings twitched in his sleep, and the low thrum of Ginko's pulse actually helped keep him relaxed. He didn't even have nightmares, which was a big deal.

As Ginko's voice suddenly booms around him, Newt breathes in deeply and shoots his head up suddenly, staring at Ginko's ear.

"--Whuswrong?" he babbles, still very much asleep, looking around for his glasses out of habit.

[onegreeneye]

"I, um... I mean, nothing, exactly, I just. Uh."

He's just kind of panicking is what. He turns his head enough to actually look at Newt, his ears twitching slightly. He looks... slightly nervous, honestly. "You... you remember what happened, right?"

Why wouldn't he, Ginko.

[kaijugrrroupie]

Newt's eyes come into focus when Ginko turns his head, and his entire body suddenly lights up in fright. He trills loudly--a noise he wasn't even aware he could make--and buries his face against Ginko's jawline to catch his breath.\

"Holy s-shit dude!" he pants, wings quivering. A giant face wasn't how he was expecting to wake up this morning, and once everything comes rushing back, Newt squirms his way out of the little nest he made for himself quickly, moving so that he's hovering sleepily over Ginko's chest instead of up close and personal.

"You gotta warn a guy when you get all up in his space like that ok?" he rubs at his eyes, groaning. "I'm still small. I'm so sick of this bullshit."

Your question was ignored, sorry Ginko. He drops a couple of inches, obviously still tired.

8-ish?? does it count as a date when it's mostly to get the kid used to dad #2

[woofdad]

It's been quite a while since Grant has been to the zoo; as much as he'd like to bring Chip over more often, time and money tend to be in short supply, so it's not usually an option.

Today, though, they've finally got an opportunity - and Grant has a plan.

...Well, sort of. It's not really a step-by-step thing so much as it's "get Shiro and Chip onto neutral ground and hope for the best". But it's a plan.

"Alright, where to first?" Grant looks over at his two companions, keeping a hand resting gently on Chip's shoulder for the time being.

[demonpuppy]

Chip feels a bit like they were tricked into this whole outing. They love the zoo, and seeing all the animals here, but Shiro is...complicated. They want to hate him, but he's been nothing but kind, even to something like them. And he makes Grant happy. And his jokes are funny and he's never actually tried to hurt them yet...

The entire trip over they've been quiet, only giving one word answers and refusing to look in Shiro's direction. Here at the zoo they're glued to Grant's side, one hand curled tightly into the fabric of their dad's shirt. They look up at him, then around with a scowl they're determined to keep in place.

"...can we go to the bears?"

[shiro2hero]

A least they're in generally the same space without one of them panicking, or trying to claw the other's face off. It's nice. Not a bad day to be out, either. And with the glove over his hand, the jacket over the rest of him... he looks normal.

Though he hasn't tried to touch either of them yet. For obvious reasons.

"Bears sound great to me." There's no trace of placating or anything in his words -- he sounds like he'd genuinely like to go, himself. "I haven't been here in a long time."

[woofdad]

Grant, meanwhile, is trying very hard not to let slip any sign of amusement at Chip's obvious efforts to look unhappy. "Sounds like a plan."

He looks over the surrounding signs before nodding in the direction they need to go and starting forward with a quiet laugh. "Seems like it's been a while for all of us. Hopefully we won't manage to get lost, huh?"
