"He, uh, explicitly asked me to contact you. I'm pretty sure it's important. Actually, I'm positive it's important, because he had me Taken."

He looked around after eventually regaining his full vision, to see Erik lying over on the floor. "What... Erik?"
-
Erik was lying on his back. A jagged piece of metal was torn through his shoulder, to his chest. He made a barely audible noise.

-
He tried to push himself forward, but cried out weakly in pain. "S-Switch..."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 7:31:21 PM"Erik! Shit, I'm soo sorry, I didn't mean to do that! I got mad and defensive and-- just, try not to move!" Switch reached over and took a firm and still grip on the metal sticking out of Erik. "Now... I need to remove the metal, wherever it came from. If i don't, you won't even stand a chance at healing. This is gonna hurt..." Without warning, in an attempt to make the experience quick, Switch pulled away at the piece of metal as hard as he could. It's jagged surface caught against Erik's taken flesh as it slowly but surely began to move out of the deep wound. He could only imagine what the immense pain must've felt like.
-
Erik gasped and screamed.
-
After what felt like half a minute, the piece of metal finally broke free and came out of Erik's shoulder, clanging onto the floor and spilling blood all over the surrounding Vex stonework. Switch's hands were also covered in it.
-
His head lolled to the side.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 8:58:10 PM"Erik, wake up! Can you hear me?" Switch was clasping the side of Erik's head, trying to get a response of some sort.
-
Nothing happened.
-
"OK, OK... Control... Restraint..." Switch raises a hand over the wound penetrating Erik's shoulder and chest and kept it still. Closing his eyes and concentrating, small dark tendrils began to emerge from the wound, like thin black threads. They began to weave over each other and connect, beginning to stitch the wound up and seal it together. Some of the blood on the floor even began to move and flow towards Erik's body, as if time was reversing.
-
He took a shuddering breath and jumped up, tripped on the piece of metal, and fell onto Switch.
-
"Oh thank God! Are you OK? You're a lot more lively than you were a few seconds ago"
-
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Thanks."
-
"Sorry for doing that, thing... I kinda lost control a bit. You good? Okay, phew"
-
"I am now. It's fine, you made up for it. Mostly..." Erik looked down at himself. "Oh, right. I should probably get off you now...'
-
"Uh, sure. I don't really mind that much though"
-
"Heh. Me neither, I guess." He was on his hands and knees, straddling Switch's waist. He tried to push his feelings down so Switch couldn't detect them, but he couldn't. He felt himself falling for him, but he couldn't let himself. Oryx wouldn't allow emotional connections.
-
"You sure you're ok? You don't seem quite yourself right now. I mean, that injury was pretty severe. I don't even know where that jagged metal came from"
-
"Being Taken made me pretty much unkillable. I die, then Oryx shoves my soul back into my carcass."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 10:26:02 PM"I see. Remind me never to meet Oryx... Aries was bad enough"
-
"Yeah. Yeah. He's pretty bad. Especially when he's your master." Erik had leaned in closer without thinking about it. Their helmets were only a few inches apart.
-
"I bet... You can stand up now, if you want..."
-
"But what if I don't want to...?" They were almost touching.
-
S: "Well... If you don't want to, then--" J: "Hey guys, I'm ba-- whoa, you two are getting cuddly" Jaden had returned from the makeshift hangar, back to where Switch and Erik were.
