Description
Sunburst trembled, the raced to Gelato's side, tears rushing down her face. "G-Gel?! Gel are you ok?! Say something! Please!!" Waffle growled and placed Riesling on the ground, before placing herself protective over him. Gelato groaned quietly.
Riesling's smile immediately faded listening to Sunburst crying. That was the exact opposite of what he wanted. He wriggled out of Waffle's grip and slowly approached them
Waffle growled and followed him closely. Gelato opened her eyes a moment, then closed them and groaned again. "I-its ok Gelato-o." Sunburst looked him over. "Im here. T-tell me where it hurts."
Riesling bit his lip before turning to Waffle. "Back. Too rough." He ordered before running off and grabbing a first aid kit. He made Sunburst cry, he was going to fix it
Gelato sighed and lifted his head slightly. "You're bleeding from the mouth!" Sunburst cried out. "Its ok..." Gelato said, his voice still calm. "I just bit my tounge, that's all. I'm ok..." he grunted and tried to sit up. "Heh...you're mama really loves you. She wants to protect you two a lot"
Riesling pushed Gelato back to the carpet before lifting his chin with a paw. "Can you be a knockoff monk later? Open your dang mouth."
Gelato looked at him a moment, then complied. Sunburst shivered, the took a step back. "Why...did you make her attack him?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion. "You know Gelato...you know he wouldn't hurt anyone...W-why.."
Riesling doesn't answer, looking over Gelato's tongue and finding the cut before digging some numbing oral medicine out of the first aid kit. "This will sting." He says before applying the medicine
Gelato nodded slightly. Sunburst shook her head and backed away, before running out of the room. Waffle shot up and followed her out.
Riesling watched Sunburst go before sighing guiltily, his head hanging
Gelato looked up to him calmly, all three eyes open. He still didn't look mad, or even upset. He licked his mouth a few times to get rid of the medicin taste, then smiled. "Thanks, that helped a lot"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Riesling throws the medicine back in the kit and closes it, the usual bite in his voice gone and replaced with something sadder. "Don't try and get close to angry animals next time."
Gelato watched him a moment, then grunted and tried to stand. He kept his front left paw off the ground, his chest and stomach starting to bruise. "Are you ok?" he asked, looking slightly concerned.
He looks over to respond before seeing all the bruises and growling. "You idiot, you said you only bit your tongue!" He snaps, leaning and checking his paw
Gelato watched him, only his breathing showed where hurt to touch. "She was already upset, why upset her more?" he said, trying to catch Rieslings eyes. "You...didn't answer my question..."
"I'm not the one who got thrown into a wall. Or ran out of the room crying because her brother was an idiot." Riesling gets some bandages and starts wrapping his paw.
Gelato hesitated, the took his paw away, placing it on Rieslings. "You're not an idiot." he said simply.
Riesling shrugged his paw off. "She's my sister. I'm supposed to be the one protecting her from auri making her cry." He says bitterly
"And you were protecting her." Gelato said calmly, looking to the bruise. "You thought I was a threat, and you protected her." he hesitated, then chuckled. "I almost wish I had someone like you looking out for me."
"Sure you do. You barely move from that tree, exactly what dangers do you face on a daily basis?" Riesling rolled his eyes as he started treating the bruises the best he could
Gelato shrugged. "If this showed me anything, it's that having someone looking out for you is never a bad idea." he smiled softly.
Riesling just huffed and finished treating him before putting everything away again. "...I'm sorry. For what the furble did."
"I forgive ya," Gelato smiled, settling down.
Riesling just hums, picking up the first aid kit. "She won't."
"Sure she will." gelato said rather certainly. "She loves ya, and you love her. Nothing can break that bond. Esspecaly not little old me" she chuckled.
"Yeah, well she's absolutely head over paws for you." Riesling lashed his tail, "And you're so flippant towards her."
Gelato watched him. "Should I pretend I feel the same way to make her happy?"
"If you don't feel the same way, then why are you leading her on? Why did you let it go on for so long?" Riesling's fire started to return to his eyes as he glared, "Why didn't you nip it in the bud when it would hurt her less? It'll crush her now!"
"I did tell her." Gelato said simply. "After I made something out of myself. I would her that she's a good friend...but only a friend."
Riesling froze. "You.. you did?" His voice is small
Gelato nodded calmly. "She asked if she could still hang around me, knowing her feeling, And I gaved no objections."
Riesling suddenly felt a very weird mix of emotions. Some of it was guilt that he'd continued treating Gelato so poorly after he'd gotten what he wanted. Some of it was relief that he didn't have to worry about Sunburst anymore, at least until the next guy came along. And the rest of it... he wasn't too sure what it was. Just that it was there like a stone in his belly.
"So," Gelato smirked. "Your mom doesn't have to protect her from me anymore" he chuckled in good humor.
"R-Right." Riesling says, curling his tail over his paws, "I'll, uh, I'll let her know."
Gelato tilted his head slightly, watching him with all three eyes.
Riesling catches him staring before waving his tail. "I need to go. Feel better." He says quickly before running off
Gelato watched him run off, then smiled And settled down.
