DAY 26: Men's Showers (Second Shift)

[canieathim.livejournal.com]

Gluttony didn't want to leave his Lust, not after he'd just found her!  But the mean tasty nurses said he had to.  "You can't join her in the women's showers" was a bad excuse.  He didn't like the mean tasty nurses.  Maybe Lust would let him eat them later.  Still, he knew he would see his Lust again, and that was good.  He liked Lust.  She was good and beautiful and smart and kind.  Why did they have to take him away from his Lust?

Still, he would see her again.  And she would tell him it was okay to eat the tasty nurses, and that would be good.  His new friend liked eating people, too.  That made him happy to find a friend who shared a love for eating people.  Today was a very good day.

As he entered the showers, he stood under a shower head and opened his mouth wide to drink up the water.  It wasn't as good as eating people, or eating waffles that didn't scream when he bit into them so weren't nearly as good as eating people, but it was still swallowing something, and that made him feel better.

Ren watched the proceedings, smiling absently at the nurses as they gave their orders, his visible eye closed and seemingly at ease. A lot of people would have mistaken it for placidity, but they couldn't have known better. In truth, Ren was watching the man sandwiched between the two male orderlies.

He was messed up pretty badly, and the doll was also reluctant to let him go...

Exhaling slowly, he glanced to Daemon and away again. "Your friends will be waiting for you."

Daemon reached out along the psychic threads once more, knowing the effort to do so would cost him energy, but needing to do it all the same.

He found Renji's presence, already receding, but distance mattered little when Daemon was determined. He brushed over Renji's consciousness, breaking his own limits of what was permissible and not, and sending the thought to Renji's mind, his mental voice as warm and comforting as he could make it.

You memorized my thread and I know yours. I'm here if you need me. Not even the pair of gorillas would hold me off for long. I don't know what happened, Renji, but I will help how I can. I apologize for angering you, and drawing their attention.

"My friends?" Daemon asked aloud absently, his golden gaze turning from where Renji had disappeared into the locker rooms and turning back to Ren at his side.

This time he gave a much more audible sign, and rubbed the crown of his head. His toes were kind of chilly after that. But more importantly, a fight had been avoided, which was the main thing to be worried about. He watched as the man Daemon had called Renji was led out of the showers.

Huh?

Daemon had mumbled a reply, and Ren turned back, smoothing out his features into something calm. "Your friends too, pal," he said, and gave Daemon's shoulder a light, friendly smack without thinking. Then it was kind of hard to ignore that they were both wet and naked, and Ren gave a single awkward laugh and began to follow the nurses. "Um. Well, I think I'm done too. Glad to see you're okay now."

Daemon blinked in confusion, golden eyes watching Ren edge away. He hadn't missed the faint embarrassment coming from the other man, but didn't really understand it.

Half his attention still lingering on Renji in the distance, Daemon merely shrugged, a small frown on his face as he followed Ren towards the locker room, deciding he'd had more than enough of the showers himself for one day.
