Blue took a moment to process it, blinking once, then twice. But he needed to focus on helping Alexander. He scrambled to pick up an almost-broken ceramic bowl that had fallen at some point. He rinse it with his powers before filled it up with clean water, “Here.”
But Blue couldn’t help the flutter in his stomach as he looked at Alexander’s unconcious, beautiful face. Only for the people he loves most, the words repeated in Blue’s mind.
(Got to get to bed, see you later :)
(Okie)
Izzy takes the water and gently places it to Alexander's lips. "C'mon Alex… Drink…" The male groans softly, somewhat concious as he allows the water to fall down his throat. He was slowly starting to solidify again.
The angel approaches Izzy and Alexander.
"I sent those invaders packing." He said.
"Anything I can do to help?"
Izzy looks up. "All he can do at the moment is rest…" She says softly. "He can't fight like this… He'll die." She glances at the other. "I can only stay in this world for so long." She mutters.
(I'm so behind. Did anything major happen that I should know about?)
The angel walks over, placing a hand on Alexander's head, sedating him, and soothing him. He didn't have enough units to heal him effectively, so this would have to do.
(Nothing, the two sides are still at stalemate. You're good.)
(Cool.)
Zhavia, walked the streets stepping over bodies of both parties. "They are a lot stronger then I thought." This wasn't going to turn out well. She was strong, but couldn't underestimate her enemy. Once she was out of view of her people she crouched down and hid her face. "I don't want to do this, I almost died early. I don't want to die."
"Is that so?" The angel asked from a rooftop, facing the alien woman.
Immediately she pulled out her sword and stumbled back. "What, come to kill me? Well, I'm ready." She was panting and her injuries were hurting. "I'm not weak!" She yelled standing up. Her head was now spinning and it was hard to keep balance.
Alexander coughs loudly, heaving as he slowly opened his eyes. He groans softly. He sees Izzy and Blue sitting over him. "Oh thank God…" He mutters softly. "You okay, Blue? Izzy?" His voice is raspy. Izzy gently hands him a bowl of water which he gladly drinks.
Blue stared at Alexander in front of him, awake and okay. As soon as he put down the bowl in front of him, Blue threw his arms around him, gently enough to not hurt him, but tight enough to show Blue’s worry. The adrenaline completely collapsed and Blue started crying into Alexander’s shoulder.
Alexander starts in surprised when Blue hugs him. When the other starts to cry Alexander gently hugs him back, rubbing soothing circles on his back. "Easy there. Easy." He says softly, hugging the other tightly. "I've got you."
“I killed people,” Blue cried into Alexander’s shirt, so it came out slightly muffled, “I’m a murderer.”
Immediately she pulled out her sword and stumbled back. "What, come to kill me? Well, I'm ready." She was panting and her injuries were hurting. "I'm not weak!" She yelled standing up. Her head was now spinning and it was hard to keep balance.
"Yo, angel dude, whatcha go- Oh cmon, can't we catch a break around her!" She cried out in annoyance as she saw the alien lady again.
“I killed people,” Blue cried into Alexander’s shirt, so it came out slightly muffled, “I’m a murderer.”
Alexander shakes his head. "Look at it this way, Blue. If we didn't fight back, we'd be dead. You're not a murderer. You're a life saver. You saved so many people." Alexander says soothingly.
Alexander hugged Alexander tighter and buried his head as if it would make realtiy stop. He closed his eyes and said through his sobs, “I’m glad you’re -hic- okay.”
Alex holds Blue close. "I'm glad you are too." He says softly. He rubs his hands through the others air. He felt protective of Blue as he held him. Blue was so sweet and fragile… War came with the price of lives… And yet he believes he was a murderer.
Blue tried to dry off his tears on his own sleeve eventually, but his shoulders still shook and the tears kept leaking out of his eyes. He didn’t want to let go, he just wanted to stay curled up in Alexander’s arms forever. He felt a phantom blood covering him all he wanted to do was get it off. Forget the battle. Just stop time for just a second. He looked up at Alexander with hopeless eyes and a quivering lip, “W-When will it stop?”
Alexander traced gentle circles on his back as he hums softly. He wasn't good with emotional things, but he wanted to be here for Blue. As Blue tried to regain himself Alexander didn't dare let go of him. "Soon." He whispers. "I hope…" He gently pulls the other to him, kissing his forehead in a reassuring way.
Blue used his shirt and wiped his face off, getting If most of the tears. He finally withdrew from Alexander, but the phantom kiss on his forehead lingered. He felt better, in a small way. He opened his mouth a said quietly, “I-I brought Izzy.” (Is she still visible?)
The Aussie nods. "I'm surprised he was able to call on me." She laughs lightly. "How are you feeling kiddo?" She asks softly. Alex smiles at the female. "I'm alright." He glances at Blue, taking his hand. "Thank you."
Blue felt the warmth of Alexander’s hand and felt safer. Blue felt a strange comforting warmth envelope him. He opened his mouth shyly, “I- Well she found me.”
Izzy shakes her head. "Actually Blue. You called on me. You're emotions and desperation to find me made me appear." She says softly. Alexander nods. "Yep." He says softly.
“What?” Blue asked in confusion, looking from Alexander to Izzy, “I made you appear?”
Izzy chuckles. "I'm a spirit, kid. I've been looking over Alexander for such a long time that we share a life force. I can become solid and he can become… Well a ghost." He chuckles. "Yeah. Although, I prefer her becoming physical." He laughs. "going into the spirit realm is not fun."
“Really?” Blue looked Izzy up and down. She seemed solid. He couldn’t stop himself from asking shyly, “When you say ‘looking over Alexander’, does that mean you two are together?” Blue glued his eyes to the floor.
Izzy barks out a laugh. "oh no, sugar. I'm basically what you call a guardian spirit." She hums. "He's all yours." She teases lightly. Alex rolls his eyes, smiling. "No, Izzy and I aren't a thing. I can assure you that." He says smiling at Blue.
Blue turned red nonetheless, but butterflies came to his stomach. He glanced up at Alexander and took a deep breath, “I-I um like you.”
(I love my little Blue. There’s a whole war going on and he’s just awkwardly saying he has a crush on Alexander lol)
Alexander blinks, letting the information sink in. He smiles gently. "I like you too." He says, chuckling a little. He felt better knowing what the emotions were when he had first met Blue. He understood what it was.
