Legoshi walks toward the drama club to make sure everything is prepared for the last rehearsal... And to ask Riz a few things about Carniherbi-relationship.
The Wolf was still worried about getting together with an herbivore. What if he tries hurting Louis, somehow? 'Cause he is a carnivore while Louis isn't.
So, he has decided to ask Riz, how he can be together with Pina. If he is feeling any instincts to devour him, or not.
Legoshi exhales in relief, when he could only see the bear in the room. At least he will get some private time with him. Where others can't hear their conversation.
Maybe Louis doesn't wants anyone else to know, he has feelings for an awkward wolf as Legoshi?!
Legoshi inhales deeply and walks toward the bear who enjoys himself with a bottle of honey.
"Riz-kun" the wolf bursts out and holds the hand up a little to give the bear a wave, the second Riz had turned toward him.
The bear starts looking very nervous and starts looking around, while he seems sniffing the air.
Legoshi was about to raise an eyebrow while lowering the hand.
Riz smiles gently against him.
"Legoshi-kun... Already here?" He asks cheerfully, despite his recently weird behaviour.
The Wolf nods.
" Yes-... And..." he furrows the eyebrows thoughtfully. Should he really ask Riz about Carniherbi-relationship? Or he would accidentally give away, Louis' and his 'relationship', if he asked?!
Riz hums asking and keeps smiling like the softie, everyone see him as.
Legoshi gulps.
"H-how... How can Y-you be togeheter with a-... An herbivore?!" He squirms nervously and could hear how he self was stuttering.
Riz raises an eyebrow and lowered the almost empty bottle of honey.
"What do you mean?" The bear asks with a hint of annoyance. Thinking Legoshi is against his decision to date an herbivore.
The Wolf flinches while sweating nervously.
"I-...I... No... That's not it... I only want to know..." he swallows hardly.
The bear stares doubtfully at him.
Legoshi let's out a short and nervous laugh.
"Do you ever want to eat your boyfriend?"
Riz stares blankly at him, while the question repeats a few times in the mind.
"If-... I want to eat Pina?"
Legoshi nods.
"Yes! I wanna know if you have any struggle with dating him... if your carnivore side is making the relationship, difficult..."
Riz hums thoughtfully, while the door gets opened and Pina walks in.
"Yes-..." the bear says deliberately, which startled Pina who thought Riz would be the only animal in the room.
The bear shrugs without having noticed his boyfriend.
"The relationship has been up and down with him..." Riz answers, before he scoffing let's out a laugh.
"My life would surely be much easier if I had started dating a carnivore like you..." he adds and made Pina to frown.
The dall sheep glares angrily at Legoshi and mutters something silently under the breath.
Then he starts climbing the ladder, up to the platform with the scene lights.
A moment later, Louis walks in and looks a slightly surprised to see Riz and Legoshi.
"Oh?-... You are both here..." the deer says while walking toward them.
The two carnivores jolt and stopped talking with each others.
"L-l-louis-s-senpai..." the wolf stutters, where the tail starts wagging happily, while he looks nervous.
Legoshi takes few steps aside, so, Louis could stand where he stood few seconds ago.
Riz glances curiously at Legoshi and let's out a short gasp, when he suddenly understood the wolf's questions.
The Wolf has feelings for Louis the red deer!
The deer raises an eyebrow at them, silently wondering what they've had talking about.
But since he wasn't the nosey one, he brushes the curiosity off.
"I need your help with-..." Louis starts saying, when Legoshi's ears start twitching from a creaking sound.
When he could figure out, the sound comes from above them, his ears perked up.
The wolf flinches the head upward and could see, how one scene light starts swaying.
The one above Louis!
Louis sighs grunting when he didn't had Legoshi's fully attention.
"Legoshi?-... I'm speaking with you about important matters... And need your-..." Louis tells him with annoyance in the voice and starts crossing the arms.
The Wolf gasps when he sees how the scene light starts falling down.
"WATCH OUT!!!" Legoshi shouts and throws himself over Louis to push him away.
The deer exhales grunting and falls backward.
Few seconds later, the scene light slams hardly at the floor and breaks, with electricity sparking out from it.
Louis could feel sharp pain striking him, the moment he'd thud hardly down on the back.
Not only does he gets harder to breathe with Legoshi over him. But he could also feel the burning pain in the ankle.
Louis grits the teeth while wincing in pain.
Legoshi inhales gasping, and shift where he stands on all fours over Louis. Looking worried down at the grimacing deer.
"Louis! Are you alright?!" The wolf asks with increased heartbeats.
"... My... Ankle..." Louis answers through gritted teeth.
Of course he would actually, ending up with hurting the ankle, after he had pretended a few days ago.
Riz stares shocked at the broken scene light. How could that thing fall?
He tilts the head up and wides the eyes when he sees Pina looking down.
"I'M SORRY-... ARE EVERYONE ALRIGHT?" Pina shouts from above.
Riz looks curiously down at Legoshi and Louis, where Legoshi moves away from the deer.
Legoshi sits down next the deer who shivering, sits up with low grunting.
The Wolf furrows the eyebrows, and looks shortly upward.
"IT SEEMS LOUIS IS HURTED... I WILL TAKE HIM TO THE SCHOOL NURSE" he answers back.
Which caused Louis to jolt and stares at him.
"NO! I'm fine..." Louis protests. No way he will walk to the school nurse's room, and risking he won't make it to the grand opening.
Everyone are counting on him! He is for the rex sake, the lead actor. The next beastar!
Legoshi raises an eyebrow, while Pina starts climbing down through the ladder.
"But-... If you are harmed... Then I must take you to the school nurse..."
Louis scoffs.
"Don't worry-... I'm not a weak animal... The foot feels rather good again" he lies.
The Wolf starts looking even more doubtful, when Louis, stumbling starts standing up.
The deer does his best to stop shivering from the pain.
And from pure willpower, he actually managed to keep the face in normal expression. He even gives Legoshi a smile.
"See?-... I don't need any treatment... I'm fine" Louis tells him, while Pina approaches him.
The dall sheep looks apologising at him.
"I'm so sorry Louis-... I don't know what happened with the scene light..." Pina apologies.
Louis turns the face against him and let's out a short laugh.
"Don't worry Pina-... Accidents happens... It wasn't your fault" he smiles toward him.
"B-but-..." Pina protests.
Louis holds a hand up toward him.
"It's fine-... Now... I have few things to take care of, in the office... Excuse me... And let me know, when everyone else are here" the deer tells them, before he rather steady, walks toward the office.
***
The moment he is alone in the office, with the door closed, he starts tearing up with low grunting.
He sits down on the floor, with the hands around the ankle who pounds in pain.
Of all days, he had to sprain the foot now...
He let's out low and shaky whimpers.
There isn't any time to get sick or hurted.
They have an important welcome performance, tomorrow, for the freshmen.
And he, as the school's top student and the drama club's lead actor, must welcome the new students.
It's his duty. His responsibility.
There isn't time to be weak and stand on the sideline...
Few knocks on the door behind him, causes his ears to perk up.
Louis gasps and let's go of the ankle.
The deer was about to stand up when the door swings opened, where it hits his back.
"Louis-senpai-..."
"Ouch!" Louis flinches surprised, and from a little pain, when he got the door on him.
Legoshi grunts surprised and peeks the head in, where he tries see what the door hitted.
The Wolf wides the eyes, terrified, when he sees Louis on the floor, behind the door.
"Louis-senpai! A-are you alright?!"
The deer looks up at him with mixed expression on the face. Pain, confusion and annoyance. But also happiness to have Legoshi around.
"Y-yeah-..." Louis scoffs.
"I'm fine-..." he adds lying.
Legoshi hums asking.
"Why are you on the floor then?"
Louis rolls the eyes.
" 'Cause it's fun to sit on the floor, behind the door, and see if I will get the door on me..." he remarks sarcastically.
The bewildered Wolf raises an eyebrow.
"Is that-... Fun?" He asks unsure if he could see any fun in that.
Louis rolls the eyes again, and stands up.
"No, you stupid dog... It's not fun... And I only sat down to tie my shoelaces..."
Legoshi exhales.
"Oh-..."
Louis dusts the trousers off.
Then he walks toward the armchair. Every step with the hurted foot, feels as he is walking on daggers.
He does his very best to not limp.
"Besides-... You aren't supposed to walk in, shortly after you have knocked... You are supposed to wait until I have welcomed you, to enter..." Louis tells him and sits down. Exhaling in relief, despite the ankle keeps pounding in pain.
Legoshi lowered the ears in shame.
"... Should I walk out again?"
Louis raises an eyebrow at him.
"Out?"
The wolf nods.
"Yes-... Maybe I can start over and knock the door... Where I will wait until you have told me, I can come in..." he suggests.
Louis sighs.
Then he shakes the head, and puts on a smile on the lips.
"Don't bother-... You may come in..." he tells him.
Legoshi smiles widely with the tail, slowly starting to wag. Still kinda unsure if Louis's still annoyed at him.
The Wolf walks completely inside, where he closes the door behind him.
Then he looks curiously toward the foot, the deer had said, he had sprained, few days ago.
Louis hums asking.
"And what are you looking at?" The deer asks confused over Legoshi's staring.
Legoshi walks toward Louis, where he kneels down, in front him.
Causing the deer's heart to skip a beat.
The Wolf's hands starts grabbing the lower part of Louis' trousers, and tugging the fabric upward.
The handsome deer starts blushing hardly and tries flinching the foot away. Despite every single movement with the foot, hurts.
"A-and what D-do you think, Y-you are doing?!" Louis stutters with increased heartbeats and leans further back on the seat.
Legoshi sighs.
"Making sure I haven't broken your foot-... Since you've had sprained the foot few days ago... It's more fragile now... And could be broken..." he explains while rolling the lower part of the trousers upward.
"Ahh-..." Louis exhales.
"-...But I'm fine-... Don't worry" he adds gulping. No way he would admit, he was lying few days ago, about the sprained foot.
The moment Legoshi could see Louis' red and swollen ankle, he wides his eyes.
"Oh gosh-..." the wolf gasps.
Louis' heart start pounding with fear.
"What?!-... Is it that bad?"
Legoshi furrows the eyebrows. Feeling bad for throwing himself over the fragile deer. But he didn't had any choice. It would had been dangerous, if Louis'd got the scene light on the head.
"You should go to the hospital and get the foot checked..."
Louis wides the eyes.
"Hospital? No! Why would I?!" The deer protests and stares shocked at him.
Legoshi shrugs.
"To make sure the foot isn't broken... It's awfully swollen and red around the ankle..."
The deer's breathing increased in speed. He really doesn't has the opportunity to step down now...
Louis let's out a nervous laugh.
"Would the foot really be broken, if I can move the foot?"
Legoshi raises an eyebrow.
Louis nods down toward the foot.
"See..." he says and makes Legoshi to look down at the foot.
Despite the awful pain, Louis starts circulating the foot. Doing his best to not flinch.
The pain is awful. It feels as he could throw up in any moment now... But since he is a stubborn animal, he keeps moving the foot, to prove, everything is alright.
Legoshi nods and looks up at Louis.
"Okay... It's probably not broken... But you still need to get help from the school nurse... She can maybe help you with the swollen ankle?!"
Louis had stopped moving the foot. Now he scoffs against Legoshi's idea.
"Like she can help me, more than you and I could..." he clicks the tongue.
"Give me some ice and painkiller, and I will be, good as new..." Louis adds, before he thoughtfully gets silent for a short moment.
"...And maybe some bandage..." he adds.
