'Broken Image' ♡ (MXM) ♡

- instant regret -

Pierce found himself smiling so hard that his lips began to hurt. But he couldn't help himself.

The hero never fails to amaze him, even with something like this. Something everyone would see as normal, or nothing special. It touched the cold hearted man.

"Ox." He wouldn't help but voice out the man that was now on his mind.

It wasn't hatred, amusement or the feeling to kill the man like normal. Something else was there that Pierce was somewhat familiar with. His heart jumped with joy, running in circles around his insides.

Finally catching up with himself, Pierce turned. Looking away from the beauty of the tree, Pierce walked forward to the grubs. His hand held the instant ramen that was meant for his sick friend. That should be what to think about, but instead, it was all about him.

All about that damn hero.

~Cleoi, Oxzy's apartment~
Oxzy awoke to a bright light and a heavy feeling crushing his entire body. He felt like his body was pressed into the ground by some invisible force, he tried to sit up, causing firey spike of pain in his shoulders. He toppled back over, hunching down on the ground.

He looked around with the light coming from his open curtains, noticing how he was sitting outside in the small living room by the window. Had he fallen asleep on the floor again? It's been a while since that happened.

He didn't remember what happened yesterday, what happened last night or anything. The man tried his best to get up, he felt like a lump of dead meat. His body was sore all over, lacking any type of energy whatsoever.

What did I do yesterday? Oxzy scolded himself.

After a few minutes to encourage himself to finally stand, Oxzy did so with wobbling feet. Landing his hands on the window seel, he took in the gulps of air, feeling his hands around the apartment until he made it to the sink where the fridge lay.

Opening it, he scanned the food for something to eat. He was drained from yesterday, he could barely even walk with his weak energy, eating could not only help heal him, it would give the energy he needed to defend himself.

Nothing was in the fridge, he looked up at the cabinets, grabbing a can of soup to make. It was just heated up from the can itself before Oxzy scarfed it down. It stung the insides of his mouth, being forced down even with its bland taste.

The hero ignored it, taking all of the food before throwing it down. After eating, Oxzy felt a bit energized to take a shower. He knew he had to anyways, his wounds and body were dirty from yesterday. Dirt was on his face, stained blood soaked his shoulders bandage, Oxzy watched, knowing he had to clean the bandage and change everything he was wearing.

He slept on the wooden floor, his body was all stiff, clothing had tares, rips and dirt all over, so a shower was very needed.

The shower was quick, that and his remaining bits of energy. He felt like a slop of meat after the shower.

Falling down on his bed with his hair still dripping with wet. His shoulder stung, blood dripped onto his sheets. Oxzy saw the blood, letting out a groan he forced himself up.

Being by the dress drawer once again, Oxzy pulled out extra clothes to patch up the wound. Ripping them apart with his teeth, the hero tightly closed the wound with the white bandaged. He watched as the red liquid quickly was absorbed from the other side, it stained the white cloth almost immediately.

It didn't bother him, he had to change it anyway and he had lots of extra clothes to use for it. All he had to do for the healing to quicken was rest, falling on his now bloody stained bed. It was just the blankets, but Oxzy was way too tired to change it right now. Closing his eyes, he took in his breaths with ease for once.
