Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien's gaze lowered at the words that were spoken to him, he knew the truth. Yes... he may have been bought for sex at the beginning of all this. But... after the kindness that Jet had shown to him over the past few days. He found himself unable to believe that he was only meant for sex. "That is how life is sometimes... You may get bought to be something that you really are not, then things change." He said sadly. Yet, his senses were just as sharp as ever. Not letting his guard down for one second as he knew if he did let his guard down... he could very well be killed, or worse.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Wali's grin turned to a frown quickly after the words that he heard. He wasn't expecting such a reaction... A low, deep growl left his mouth as he took another step closer and aimed for Julien's chest with the knife - being a bodyguard, sure, he didn't kill that many people, but he knew the basics. If it wasn't for another man who stopped Wali's arm, Julien could've just ended up dead, no matter how great his reflexes were. The man who came, Arthur, had short blond hair and green eyes that, at this moment, were filled with cold hatred. "Weak." The only word that left his mouth was this - it was also all that it took for Wali to become terrified while Arthur's eyes turned to gaze at the cat. "Go help Jet. Now."

Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien was quick... normally. But maybe the words that Wali had said, distracted his reflexes just a fraction. He had flicked the hilt of the sword up and by the time the man had lunged at him, he had pulled the sword only half way out of its sheath to see another man holding Wali back. The words that reached his ears, had his gaze darting to Jet... whom didn't look all that good at the moment. He pushed the sword back into the sheath, and went over to Jet. His ears lowered as he knelt down to him. He was quiet... much to quiet for a long moment. "Im sorry..." He whispered softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet had his eyes closed while his breathing was slightly shaky - the hit hurt... He pressed one hand against the place where his head was hit just when Julien knelt down next to him. His red eyes slowly opened as he let out a smile and reached out to gently brush a hand over the brown hair. "Are you alright?.." The blond asked quietly as he gently scratched behind its ear, a soft smile on his face. Soon, the hand dropped around his kitten's waist to pull him closer as he gently kissed the younger one's forehead. "There's nothing for you to be sorry for... I just... I never expected that Wali could do something like this..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien nodded when he was asked if he was alright. "Yes... I am fine." He said softly. Closing his eyes as his ear was scratched at for a quick moment. However, when his waist was grabbed, he took ahold of the sword and its sheath and pulled it out of his belt, keeping a tight hold on it as he didn't trust that Wali wouldn't get loose and try to kill them again. He lowered his ears as the top of his head was kissed as he was pulled closer to Jet. Nodding at the words, but he paused for a long moment. He knew his own skills were only so good, and he had only learned what he had seen by others. He wanted to be able to protect Jet and himself if need be. His gaze lowered to the floor with a confused look on his face. "Jet..." He said softly. "I want to learn... Could you find me a proper Sensei? So that I may be able to protect you if something like this was to happen again? He asked softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet blinked a few times before a soft chuckle left his lips and he shook his head. "I'd rather not." He said with a small smile as he closed his eyes and lightly stroked the other's waist with his thumb. "I'm glad that you want to protect me, but... I think I'd like to keep you as my cute little kitten instead~" The blond said in a teasing manner as he smiled and opened his eyes slightly to look at the wall in front of them. "I didn't get you for you to protect me." He said calmly as he smiled and glanced at the brunet. "I only need you to keep me company... See the big, blond guy, right? His name is Arthur... I'll probably have him protect us both for now, alright?" The taller male asked quietly as he looked at Julien and smiled, gently taking a hold of his chin and tilting it slightly. "I don't want you getting hurt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien had tears in his eyes by the time his chin was lifted as the words played out in his ears. Tho... images of what could of happened here played out in his mind. "And what if Arthur isn't able to come to the rescue?" He said softly. "I only want to learn so that if my skills do have to be used, then it would be as if extra security." He said. Not to mention, it would also give him a way to vent out his frustration from time to time without actually having to harm someone. He didn't want to have to rely on his claws alone, because that was always for only close combat. But learning swordsmanship, it would give him a bit of an advantage with his agility.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet bit down on his lower lip slightly as he gently wiped off the tears from his kitten's eyes. "Hey, hey, calm down..." He muttered out quietly as he sighed and looked at the younger male with a slight frown. "Fine, you can take some lessons... If you spend the rest of the time with me." He said somewhat childishly as he huffed and pulled Julien on his lap, wrapping both hands around his waist. All he wanted was someone with whom he could spend time with - nothing too rough, just someone at least sweet... "And you have to at least try to get along with the other people here." He muttered out as he looked at the other and huffed. "Alright?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien nodded after he heard the man. He didn't need a whole lot of lessons, just enough so that he could properly use a sword. Its not like practicing swordsmanship was going to change him all that much, just give him a little bit more confidence in his technique. Being pulled onto the man's lap, he nuzzled lightly at him. "Thank you, Jet..." He whispered softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet sighed out softly and nodded a bit as he stroked the other's hair lightly. He closed his eyes as he slowly exhaled and lightly bit down on his bottom lip. "...Can you help me a bit? My head..." The blond murmured out as he opened his eyes while rubbing the hit area. He hoped it wasn't anything serious... Still, there was blood - causing his hand to become red as well as his previously pure blond hair to become a dirty red.

Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien stilled as he heard Jet, his ears lowered as he stood up from the man's lap and looked to see the blood. He wasn't all that entirely sure what to do. "Your bleeding... I will be right back..." He said as he ran off to get a wet rag, and to inform whomever he could run into on his way, about the injury. Returning, he gently placed the rag on Jet's wound. In hopes that it would help stop the bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet was going to stop Julien from running off - but he was too slow for that, apparently. With a soft groan, the blond lifted himself up from the ground and closed his eyes tightly while gripping onto a wall with a pained expression. He wanted to at least get to his room... When his kitten came back with the rag, Jet smiled slightly and pressed it to the wound with a soft sigh. With the other hand, he brushed the hair out of his eyes and pursed his lips a bit before beginning to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien's gaze flickered as he watched Jet. "You shouldn't be trying to get up... We don't know the exact damage he did to you..." He said softly. "You should sit down and wait for..." His gaze went to the door when he heard the one that had stitched him up before. But he felt as if it was his fault that Jet had gotten hurt in the first place. Afterall, he was the one that had put up a fight against Jet in the first place when he was brought to this place. Why had he hesitated when Wali had betrayed the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet let out a soft mumble of disagreement when the nurse came in and sighed out. "Kitten, come on.. Let's go now." He said quietly as he followed the young woman who seemed just slightly more than a little irritated. "You're too reckless." She said with a frown as they walked towards the room with all medicine and various tools for healing. "Sorry, sorry..." Jet mumbled under his nose as he gripped Julien's hand in his own and pursed his lips when they entered the room. God, it smelled so awful there...

Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien lowered his ears as he followed them, the hand gripping his own didn't help matters much. Why was Jet acting like this? Had the hit to his head done more damage then they thought it had in the first place. He stood out of the way once they had entered the room. Sitting down on a chair as he watched the nurse take care of the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet mumbled softly as he sat down on the small bed with his back turned to the woman so she could take care of the injury. His eyes were closed as he just waited for all this to finish quickly - truth was, doctors and anything of the sort, they scared him. He felt shivers running up and down his spine while his head was being taken care of while the woman sighed out in irritation. Really, like some child...

Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien lowered his gaze to the floor as his ears lowered. "Its not like she is going to kill you, Jet..." He said softly as he closed his eyes. Wrapping his tail around his waist, the wound that he had gotten a while back was almost healed up. Only one or two places were still a little sore, but he could handle it. The handle of the sword clinked a little, it brought his attention back to the sword that he had been carrying around unconsciously. "I promise... if anything should ever happen again... I will protect you." He murmured to himself softly as his flickering gaze stayed on the hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet blinked and let out a soft chuckle at the words coming from his kitten as he smiled and nodded. "Thanks..." He muttered out softly while the nurse was finishing up with his wound. Her gaze soon turned back to Julien and she huffed softly before wrapping around the bandages around Jet's head. "Come on, now you. Unless you want for the wound to start aching again, come here and let me apply the ointment." She said calmly while the blond rolled his eyes and slid off the bed only to walk up to his kitten. He gently took away the sword and put it away with a soft smile. "Don't carry it around for now, okay?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien's gaze lifted when Jet had taken the sword away, he had come close to grabbing ahold of it and holding on for dear life. But he nodded instead, getting up from his seat and walking over to the bed to lay down on it. His gaze lifted to the ceiling as his mind began to wonder about what could of happened back there if Arthur had not stepped in. He had been careless, and that memory of being just a fraction slower than Wali had been. It could of ended his life right then and there. He needed to become stronger, and the determination in his eyes shown that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The woman tsk'ed as she pulled up the other's shirt and began unwrapping the bandages gently. Her expression became sour when she saw the wound and she glared lightly at Julien. "Don't think about even touching the goddamn sword for at least a week." She said coldly, a frown on her face as she began taking care of the wound. Her touch was gentle and soft - after all, she was a nurse. When she was finally done, she wrapped the bandages back around the wound and grabbed the sword in her hand, looking at Julien with a frown. "Come here after a week. I'll look at your wound and we'll see if you can get this back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien's eyes widened as he heard the girl, after the wound had been treated. He sat up and reached for the sword only to have it taken with instructions. He lowered his gaze and his hand, with a sad look in his eyes. "But..." He whispered softly. "What if something happens, and I need it?" He asked. Feeling as if she were sentencing him and Jet both to their deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The nurse pursed her lips and shook head while a soft groan left her lips. "No." She repeated slowly as she put the sword under her table. "Get Arthur to watch over you every second if you're that scared. Nothing will happen, just focus on getting well." She muttered out while Jet let out a sheepish chuckle. "She's right, kitten. We both should relax for now~" Just as he said it, the voices of Arthur and Wali reached them, making Jet freeze slightly. What was going on now?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Normally, he would of pouted or done some childish act to what he was being told not to do. However, he did the opposite. His ears twitched at the noise from down the hall, he could hear Arthur and Wali fighting... or whatever they were actually doing. But it didn't sound like they were playing a nice game. His gaze turned to Jet for a quick moment, he just hoped that if he did need to use the sword... that the girl would finally understand that he was only doing it to protect Jet.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Jet let out a small smile as he pulled Julien to himself and gently wrapped his hands around his waist. "Kitten, stay calm... It's all fine, nothing bad will happen." He said softly as he smiled and placed a gentle kiss on the other's cheek with a small smile while the nurse let out an exagerated sigh. "Get a room..." She mumbled out as she turned around to clean up while Jet chuckled - it was kind of fun to get suck reactions out of her... Meanwhile, the voices seemed to be getting further and further away...

Nicholi Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Julien still didn't feel completely at ease when he had been pulled closer to Jet, his ears stayed lowered even if the voices did travel a distance away. How could Jet think this, even after what he had just been put through? He had been betrayed by someone he thought he could trust completely. It was strange to him how this man was still so calm... or that's what it seemed like he was anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
