People do the strangest things (PRIVATE)

[Shio]

The sky was dark, and it was threatening to rain. Shio should have been wrapped up in bed, but instead it was empty, covers pulled over the top to make people think it was full. Instead, he was outside, still wearing his hospital clothes, but holding his cane in the middle, wielding it like a weapon. He was obviously trying to continue training, despite his huge injury. Right now there was enough morphine in his system to down a fully-grown bull yet he was still trying to train.
"I must do this....." he muttered to himself, preparing himself "Konoha deserves this." He stepped forwards and began practicing running again, and he managed it for around 20 steps, before his leg collapsed under him, sending him sprawling down in the mud, his cane flying away from him.
"why........ why do I have to fail so often?" he moaned, clutching his bad leg and trying to force himself to his feet, covered in blotchy mud.

[Tenebris]

As Shio was getting up the cane seemed to fly back over to him, slowly levitating across the muddy ground . The darkness made it at first hard to see what was happening. But as it got closer it was apparent it was covered with tiny beetles, all beating their wings to bring it back to him. "Because you’re hot headed, training in the rain and mud, disregarding a serious injury, and just generally kind of dense." Katachi said as he was also wondered over.

Katachi had been walking through the street, on his way home before it rained. He was passing near the hospital when he saw the movement of training in the distance. He was only half surprised to realize it was Shio.

[Shio]

Grabbing the cane and leaning on it, seeming not to notice the cuts on his leg had reopened
"I'm hotheaded? I'm water, mate. I'm wet-headed if anything." Shio murmured, looking at the new arrival. If he had been slightly more sober he might have been wondering what on earth he was doing there, but all of Shio's rational thoughts were off in the land of nod.
"So, bug-boy, I don't suppose I'm lucky enough to have you as my visitor do I?" He limped closer, the rain suddenly getting extremely heavy, soaking them to the skin.
"Well this is bloody lovely, I love getting wet in public." he murmured to himself, his face looking strangely vacant.

[Tenebris]

It was an understatement to say that Katachi was confused by Shio’s rather dense acting… denser then usual. As the rain instantly began to slam all the village Katachi looked up and sighed to himself, he was really hoping to get home dry. "I’m afraid I’m only here by circum-" he was cut off by the comment of getting wet that Shio made. To which Katachi almost face palmed, "Come on, you need to get back inside… and I think your cuts have reopened."

[Shio]

Shio looked at Katachi with a grin, looking as if he was drunk
"Oh Kata-kun....." he said slyly, somehow ending up sounding seductive "You really care about me that much, huh?" He offered his arm for Katachi to take and giggled slightly
"You really are quite the gentleman, bug-boy. Now, are we going?" He still wasn't doing anything about the bleeding cuts on his legs, not really registering them even after he'd had them pointed out to him.

[Tenebris]

For a brief moment Katachi began to think Shio might be under the spell of some kind of genjutsu, but quickly dispelled these ideas as the more likely began to take hold, "You’ve been abusing pain killers haven’t you?" Sighing he hesitantly took the bleeding ninja’s hand, only barly aware of the more seductive under tones of his voice. at being called a gentleman he said, "If you say so. Now come on." He began to lead them back to the hospital.

[Shio]

"I've not been abusing them, what would make you think like that?" Shio asked, his tone sounding legitimately hurt. It was true, he'd only been taking the prescribed dose, drugs just seemed to have a much stronger effect on him than anyone else. Not resisting the pull, Shio went along with Katachi, re-entering the hospital, and with a nod from the receptionist he was sent back to his room.
"come on, Spidey. I could do with some company." he called over his shoulder.

[Tenebris]

Katachi noted the sincerity in Shio’s voice, simply nodding to this he was lead back to his room. Then Shio called over his shoulder and called for company. At first Katachi was going to ignore it, but then he looked out the window to realize just how strong the rain was getting, "Very well, I’ll stay for a little while."

They were lead to a room where a nurse reapplied Shio’s stitches, obviously annoyed about this. After that he was lead back to his room. "What makes you pull off a stunt like that, Puddle?"

[Shio]

"You don't know why I did that?" Shio asked Katachi, obviously surprised at the fact that the other boy wasn't sure. Something about him looked changed, perhaps because the drug was wearing off,
"I want to be the best, I don't want to lose my goal, my future, my...... myself, to this leg. I need to train, I need to get out there and get back into fighting shape, how can I do this whilst lying in here? I need to be out there as soon as possible, I don't care what it costs me, you understand?"

[Tenebris]

Katachi was silent for a little while, part of him wanted to slap the boy for being so dense, another part couldn't help but admire his determination. "You have a lot of courage Shio, and I’m sure if you make the right moves this bad leg won’t hold you back at all. But you need to realize that tearing open your leg, or causing it stress while its trying to heal isn’t helping you. I mean sure, a couple of extra days training, that will always help, but your risking the long term functionality of your leg."

The nurse nodded in agreement then turned to Katachi, "Normally this isn’t visiting hours, but since its raining so badly you can stay for a while. You intend to leave after the rains gone?" Katachi nodded and she left, closing the door behind her. Katachi then walked over to the bed, standing next to it he patted it and said, "Come on Puddle, in you go."
