[blindfoldcode]

I'm in my room. Not the boss's.

[birdstheword]

I'll find you then.

5 mins okay!

[blindfoldcode]

Did you need something? [She wants to be isolated and down and she knows she can't be around Hajime.[

[birdstheword]

You! ♥

[blindfoldcode]

[She's too gay for this.]

Did something happen?

[birdstheword]

Things happen all the time. We'll talk when I get there, 'kay?

[blindfoldcode]

[... So something did happen. Kido actually pushes herself to sit up and wanders to move to the door. She doesn't think Hajime knows what apartment she lives at, so she moves to lean on the outside railing and wait for her.]

[birdstheword]

[She would have found it regardless thanks to her god ability but it's nice not having to use it. She's still tired and a few shades paler. She does feel a lot better. After hearing about what happened to Kido though, she had to come check on her. The bandage is replaced with an extra large band-aid since the bandages from before instantly drew attention from Deku. She doesn't want to worry Kido--- It's when she spots her that she waves]

Are you waiting for me Kido-chan~? Awwww

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido's missing a certain distinctive hoodie and pullover. She's still trying to get the blood out of them. Her eyes widen when she sees the bandage on Hajime's neck. It's hard to miss, regardless. And it's not like she can do anything but worry after seeing it.

She's left hers to heal in the open. It's not like she's left the apartment since it happened. She wasn't any use to Deku outside, she knows they have enough food prepared to last a day or two. She could afford to just not move for a little while.]

... You got hurt.

[birdstheword]

....

[Hajime comes to a stop, staring at Kido for a momment. Her smile is still there, and it's not fading. She's happy to see her. She looks okay but..]

I'm okay, Kido-chan! No worries. Are you okay?

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido's expression rarely wanders into territory this sad.]

I--[She doesn't want to lie to Hajime. She's not okay. But she doesn't want to worry her. She moves to pull her hood down and her hand lands on hair. How embarrassing. She tries to recover her fumble by rubbing the back of her head.]

It's not a big deal.

[birdstheword]

[That look.]

Kido-chan...

[Hajime moves to her, instantly reaching out for her arm and then trying to pull her into a big hug]

[blindfoldcode]

[She hesitates for only half a second before she throws her arms around Hajime. If asked she'll say its because she knows Hajime likes things like that.

She just wants to be closer. She wants to feel safe. And at that second she does.]

You shouldn't've gotten hurt too.

[birdstheword]

I'm fine. Things happen

[He holds her close. It's not her usual hugs. The ones where she is overly hyped to see someone. This one is warmer. It's for comfort. She smiles softly, reaching up and petting Kido's hair]

It'll be okay, Kido-chan. Maybe not to day, but it will be. I'm here for you.

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido's glad for the comfort and she tries to return it, resting her face against Hajime's hair. It'd probably be better if they were closer in height but...

She lets out a sigh. She doesn't want people to always be there for her. She feels like she's always taking and has nothing to give back.]

... Do you want to come in?

[birdstheword]

Of course! I came to see you.

[She runs her fingers through Kido's hair once more before slowly pulling back. She smiles sweetly up at the taller shinki, letting her hand trail down her arm until she finds her hand and holds it in her own.]

After you!

[blindfoldcode]

[... Her face is not the normal red it would be but it's certainly tinged pink. She looks away in embarrassment before she leads Hajime inside.

It's dark. She mumbles an apology as she lets go of Hajime's hand to open the blinds.]

[birdstheword]

[Hajime doesn't mind it. It's Kido's room! Hajime has her own room bright and colorful, always filled with light. If kido likes it cool and dark, that's fine. Though she is loooking around curiously. She's never been in her room before.

She winces faintly as she shrugs off her backpack that's full of goodies. She's still really sore. Not from the bite but something else. The bite didn't hurt that much]

I've never been to your rooom before Kido-chan~

[blindfoldcode]

[Yeah sure the bite didn't hurt that much? How much more trouble did she get into?

She flicks on the light switch. The room is... empty. Except for the plain furniture, and the laptop on the end table in her bedroom charging her phone, it's barren. At least one shelf is filled with the handful of CDs she's managed to collect.]

I don't normally stay in here.

[birdstheword]

It's still nice. It's easy to tell this is a Kido-chan room!

[She holds up her hands, making a square with her index and thumb of both hands as she slowly pans around the room as if she's going to take a picture. She stops on Kido and then lowers her hands.]

[blindfoldcode]

[... There's nothing there, Hajime, oh my god. Kido blinks.]

Really? None of this is mine... It was just here when I got here.

[birdstheword]

Still! It's a vibe. The Atmosphere....but why are you here and not at Dekuku's place? I thought you stayed with him in his room?

[That is one question that is poking her brain.]

[blindfoldcode]

[She wraps an arm around herself uncomfortably, her other hand gently rubbing her neck, feeling the rough place where her bites are starting to heal.]

... Shouto and Deku have been upset the last few days. I thought I should give them a break. [From her dragging them down, she means.]

[birdstheword]

You could have some stayed with me then, you know? My bed is big enough and I have lots of rooms. Dekuku really cares about you Kido-chan. I'm sure Shouto-kun does too.

[Distance doesn't help. She moves closer to her.]

Is it about the vampire creep?

[blindfoldcode]

Shouto got hurt on a prayer. Deku doesn't need to be worrying about me, too. I can handle myself.

B-besides. If you got bitten, too, you were hurt! You can't say something like that when you should be recovering.

[Wait hang on.]

You shouldn't even be here right now! Sit down!
