Duke looked up from cutting some limes when he noticed that Nathan approached the bar. “Woah, Nathan,” he said startled.

Nathan just grinned wickedly. “What? Do I look this good?”

For a moment Duke was baffled. It was rare that Nathan made comments like that. But his confusion didn’t last long looking at Nathan’s bloody face. “Why didn’t Audrey say something?” he asked and rounded the counter.

“We split two hours ago. Didn’t see her since then. Why? What is it?”

Duke reached for Nathan’s face but stopped himself when he remembered what this blood would do to him. “You’re bleeding,” he just said.

“What?” Nathan reached for his forehead and checked his fingers afterwards. “How bad?”
“As far as I can see it’s not so bad but the blood is smudged all over your face. Doesn’t look nice. Come on, let’s get you into my office before you drive away all of my customers.”

Surprisingly Nathan didn’t complain in the slightest and just followed Duke to the back of the Gull. Duke just put him on the couch there and fetched a bowl of water and the first aid kit from the kitchen before joining him. Duke pulled his chair right in front of Nathan and sat down. He shoved the first aid kit into Nathan’s hand and started with the cleaning. Carefully he put the wet cloth on Nathan’s face and wiped away the blood, always making sure that there was the cloth between the blood and Duke’s own skin.

“Maybe I should do it myself. Just give me a mirror,” Nathan said, who apparently had noticed Duke’s hesitance.

“No, it’s okay.” Duke hated his Trouble, especially in moments like this. He wanted to help but couldn’t properly because he would turn into a silver-eyed monster. “I just watch out.”

“Duke.” Nathan grabbed Duke’s wrist but not without making sure first if he had any blood on his hand. “It’s okay. I’m feeling fine. I can do this on my own.”

It was clear that Nathan didn’t say that because he was afraid of Duke. The tone of his voice and the open and honest smile on his face were pretty good indicators. But it was Nathan in front of him and it had always been easier to start a fight with him than to surrender. “You just say that because you’re scared.”

Nathan didn’t take the bait though. He just shook his head and gently pushed Duke’s hand away. “I’m saying that because I can see that you are scared. And you don’t have to be because I am fine doing it on my own.”

Duke grumbled, pushed the bowl of water into Nathan’s hand and pointed behind him. Next to the desk was a big mirror on the wall. Without saying anything further Nathan stood up and walked over to the mirror to wash his face. Duke stayed right where he was. He knew Nathan didn’t take this in his own hands to upset Duke and still, Duke was pissed. And he didn’t hide it.

“Are you pouting?” Nathan asked amused.

“No!” Duke said and crossed his arms. He was aware that he had to look like a little child who didn’t get what he wanted.

“God, Duke, if you really want to do it, you can.” Nathan turned around and held the bowl under his nose. Duke looked at the bloody water and realized that he would have absorbed Nathan’s blood at the latest when he had wrung out the cloth. So he shook his head. Nathan sighed and put the bowl away, he was finished after all. “It’s really not about being afraid of you, Duke.”

“I know,” Duke interrupted him but Nathan just kept going, “I just know you don’t like it. I know you hate it even and we don’t have to risk it for something as harmless as this.”

“I just hate not being able to help,” Duke whispered.

Instead of saying anything Nathan put the first aid kit into Duke’s lap and grinned at him. “I still need patching up.”

Duke laughed. “You’re serious? This is one of the smallest cuts I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure why this bled so much but you won’t even need a band-aid.”

“You know me, Duke. I won’t take care of it and in my line of work there will be a lot of dirt and it could inflame. So better a band-aid before you have to patch me up again in a few days.”

Duke shook his head but smiled. Nathan could be ridiculous if he wanted but Duke was grateful to have such a friend. He pulled out a band-aid. “You get one with pirates,” Duke smirked and put it gently on Nathan’s forehead.

Ich habe kein Recht, mich darüber zu beschweren, ich schreib auch manchmal sehr obskure Fandoms...

Ah, jetzt versteh ich das besser. :)

Und ja, unser Teamname passt perfekt! :D

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! <333
Ach das war süß, das hat Spaß gemacht zu lesen. Nathan und Duke, die bickern und sich dissen und sich nebenbei verarzten - what's not to love? XD

Dadurch dass Nathan ja keine Schmerzen hat, kann ich mir total vorstellen, dass er sich immer wieder mal verletzt und es gar nicht mitkriegt bis er alles vollblutet. :-/ Das ist ganz schön riskant. Es gibt ja Menschen, die keine Schmerzen empfinden und die haben ne ganze hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit an irgendnem Kleinscheiß zu sterben weil Schmerz ja das ultimative Frühwarnsystem unseres Körpers a'la "MACH WAS! SOFORT!" ist ...

Aber awww - Piratenpflaster. XD <333
Ach Duke.....
