Leo let her do her thing, his eyes down on his lap with hands curled lightly over each knee. Each time she touched his shoulder he would flinch ever so slightly, but besides that, he remained still. Something told him he could trust this woman, and it was just enough to calm his nerves.
Half an hour seemed like nothing to him. By the time she was all done, Leo had warmed up very well and he leaned back on the couch with a tired breath. His warm body that was now surrounded by a veil of fluffy goodness seemed to just melt away into a relaxed position, his eyes shut as she left the room. Still, he said not a word more, didn't acknowledge her words, nothing. For now, he wanted to savor this. He knew it wouldn't last very long.
The scent of a brothy soup caught his attention and his green eyes snapped open. Water seemed to flood his mouth when the small mug was set in front of him along with a saucer covered in saltine crackers. Nice, hot food... Something he hadn't had in a very, very long time. "Th-thank you I.." he trailed off, looking up to see she had gone again. She was a swift one, that girl. She seemed to always be bouncing around to and fro. And in a way, it amused Leo.
He glanced beside him at the pajamas beside him. They seemed soft, and as he reached over to touch him, he felt instantly compelled to put them on. First the shirt, which was on top of the pile. They he swiftly replaced his torn jeans with the much nicer pajama pants. Despite his filthy condition, he felt fresh in these clothes. With the combination of those, the blanket he had placed back around him, and the warm soup he slowly consumed, Leo felt happy for the first time in a long while. Not a drop or crumb was left on either dish. Leo's belly was full, and his eyes were groggy with needed sleep. He tilted his head back and stared up at the ceiling as he studied the blank canvas. There were a few cracks that he found his gaze following.
Alarm suddenly struck Leo, and he felt his heart lurch. He was comfortable. Why was he comfortable? He was a wanted fiend of both worlds, living a life on the border of death every day and night. Threats lured around every corner he turned and fights were a daily for him. Heck, someone could be spying on him right now and...
Leo slowly sat up and his gaze darted in the direction Lucy had gone. Suspicions flooded him, and it made his dull eyes narrow in rage. She was a spy!
(( Hope you don't mind his guarded self getting a little violent from time to time btw x3 He doesn't have to, but I figured him going for an attack, mainly just tackling her to the ground, would add a little spark into their "friendship" x3))) |

  "raichu is better than pikachu"OOC CHATTER{{ - I don't mind, but because of her past, Lucy is likely to freak out about it. Her ... ex-husband was really bad when it came to the abuse.
(also short, sorry) - }}
ヽ(〃･ω･)ﾉ
ROLEPLAY - Lucy came back in after he had changed and scooped up his jeans as well to put in the wash. She was feeling a little hyper from the aredinline and she knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, not while she was so on edge. Lucy liked helping people, there was nothing that she wouldn't do not to help someone out of a dangerous situation - one like Leo had been. It had been the same reason that she had become a doctor.
She stepped back into the room with a smile, but it slowly faded at the look in his eyes. "Uhh..." She hesitated, her hand falling to her side where she would normally have her pager for the security at the hospital. She recognised that look and immediately felt uncomfortable where she was standing. "Sir...?" She asked gently, forcing her voice not to waver. "A-are you okay?" -

(( Gottcha. It probably won't be no more than that. I just figured it may make sense for him to be so guarded right now x3))
A literal growl seemed to rise in the depths of Leo's throat. They thought they could be slick, huh? Send someone who looked so innocent and kind, gain his trust, then literally stab him in the back at night? Not tonight they won't! Leo seemed to spring to his feet, hands clenched. They shook with rage and strength that seemed to suddenly fuel his exhausted body. That adrenaline rush was amazing.
What was she? Angel maybe working to help the demons? Fallen? Another demon? She seemed kind, and the way demons could be so cunning, he could only imagine she was one of his kind. "Why are you here?" he snarled, taking steps towards he slowly. His eyes flashed with the pure fury of a spawn from hell. "You think you had me fooled huh? Well too bad! I'm not falling for it again!" With a sneer his hands flashed forward in front of his lurching body, slamming into her with a strange force of a stronger man than he looked. He pinned her onto the ground, teeth bared. It was obvious they were abnormally sharp...
"Who sent you?" he spat. Despite his anger, his hands trembled to keep himself up as he pressed on her shoulders. The adrenaline kept him going, but even that had its limits. He was still very weak. "Was it Fang? That son of a..." he trailed off and stilled a chest-racking cough caused by one of his frequent common colds. Darned snow loved playing with his immune system. "You listen," he wheezed, "Fang may think he can kill me but if he thinks it'll be that easy, he's a fool!" |

ROLEPLAY - Lucy practically jumped out of her skin at Leo's growl and she took several steps backwards. "I-I-I d-don't know what you mean!" She cried, screaming out when she was forced to the ground. Her face was white, and her eyes were wide and glazed with fear - complete and utter terror. Tears formed in her eyes and rolled down the side of her face and she placed her hands on the front of his chest, pushing as hard as she could. "S-stop - s-s-stop please!" She didn't ever seem to understand what he was saying. Something about a fang killing someone?
Luxy let out a terrified sob and shrunk underneath him, trying to make herself as small as possible. Her lip trembled. "I-I d-don't u-understand." She choked. "P-please please don't hurt me." -

That fear, why did it fuel him? His instincts seemed to enjoy such mortal fear and it made his mouth water. This was a demon, one who lived to torment. But this was also a demon who, deep down, despised being a demon. His her fear seemed to trigger him. His eyes grew hungry, starving. "Don't act like you don't know!" he snapped.
Her posture seemed to shrink away like a small kitten. She was sobbing, voice trembling in true terror. He had scared her to this point and... His eyes seemed to widen. His mouth closed, stopping the river of starved saliva that seemed to dribble from his blood thirsty mouth. He had gone from looking like a starving wolf about to chow down on a juicy doe, to a petrified pup who just got in trouble. "What am I doing...?" he breathed, eyes blinking, going from a raged pair of orbs to a softer and confused look. He stared down at Lucy, taking it in, then he jumped off in alarm. "I-I.. Oh god I'm so..." He stumbled back and tripped over the couch, landing on the soft cushion. He hissed as he landed on his arm and sat back up in a scramble to stare at her. Had he hurt her? Please no, not now... She looked so innocent, and with that confusion, she had sealed that she was innocent through and through.
"P-Please I... I'm so sorry, I didn't..." he kept trailing off, lost for words. This was why he hated who he was cursed to be. A demon who only lived for torment. This was not the life he wanted. "A-Are you.. I didn't hurt you, did I? Oh god I'm so sorry." Tears were in his eyes, fingers gripping his long hair as sharp nails dug into his scalp. It happened again. He messed up, and now she would throw him out and call the cops. He needed to run but... His legs felt to weak that he knew he couldn't keep up a pace long enough to make it as far as the door. |

ROLEPLAY - Lucy stared at him, breathing hard and heavy, stiffling sobs behind her hand. She stared at him as if he was going to attack her before she quickly scrambled to her feet and fled the room. What followed was the sound og her being sick in the toilet for several moments before silently followed. She slowly and carefully entered the room again. Her face was red and her eyes were puffy and she was wrining her hands together. She wasn't looking at him anymore. She very slowly crossed the room and picked up the dishes from his dinner. "Y-you can stay." Her voice was barely a whisper and it caught in her throat. She gulped lightly. She turned away from him and went into the kitchen.
Despite trying to muffle herself, small restrained sobs could be heard in the living room. She felt exhausted now, her shoulders drooping and her body aching from phantom pains of times long passed. She was relieved that Leo hadn't hurt her, not like him but he had spooked her enough to set of some of her PTSD. Lucy returned to the living room later, her face was still slightly red, and her eyes were still puffy, but she was bravely looking at Leo now.
"What was that?" She asked, cursing herself for the crack in her voice once more. This person might just be another psych case, but it didn't feel like that. "What's fang?" -

Leo too wanted to be sick. He was so riled up and angry all at once, it made his stomach churn. Even after she had gone, a series of "I'm sorry"'s streamed under his breath. His gaze was down on the ground when she returned and he refused to return her gaze. He was terrified to even give her a single glance. How could he suspect her, a woman who kindly opened her home to him, of being a spy. He was disgusting..
What was that? Even he didn't know. How could he tell her what that was without telling the truth. "I, um.. Sorry I just.." he trailed off and let out a long breath. Lie, but not completely. That's how he would do it. "I guess living on the streets for so long makes me kind of...edgy. I'm so sorry." He trailed off slightly, realizing he didn't even know her name. "I didn't mean to, I just.. I guess I got scared?" His shoulders gave a small shrug, followed by another wince. "Trouble likes me."
That was enough. No more. Much more detail could make her scared of him. "Fang is..." He trailed off again with yet another sigh. "Some guy, I guess. He's out to get me and I don't know what I did but.." Leo glared at his toes. "Let's just say he's a really bad guy who wants me gone."
(( So sorry this is short :c )) |

ROLEPLAY - Lucy nodded, and sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly. She ran her hand through her hair, letting it fall lose from the pony tail she had it up in. She stared at the wall for several moments before looking back over to him. "As I said, you can stay." She told him, but her voice had a bit of an edge to it now. "But if anything like that happens again, accidental or otherwise you'll have to leave."
Lucy stifled a yawn and rubbed her shoulder absently. "You're welcome to any food in the kitchen, but remember that if you've been starving having too much right now isn't good for you. I'll be in the back room, if you need me." She squared her shoulders and stepped over to him, pulling aside the top to check on his cut. Lucky for him it hadn't opened. "Sleep well, I guess." She mumbled, hurrying away with a distinct lack of bounce. -

(( I had to write a research paper on the narrator of "The Black Cat," the awesome story by the awesome Edgar Allan Poe, and had to diagnose him with whatever disease we believe he had.
I diagnosed him with alcohol abuse, so I had to write like five pages on that and turn it in later today in a super fat portfolio filled with five papers xD
But I have a hour and half to kill, so I'll be on here some.)) |
