Exam Week by FreakyPseudWriter
Overworked & Sleep Deprived | Umino Iruka/Reader
General Audiences | 1/1 | 1342
Summary:
There are some weeks Iruka absolutely dreaded, as they were stressful, hard for the mind and body, and mostly filled with lots of tears from his students. Exam Week. Not to talk about the sleep deprivation and the many, many tests he had to correct. No miracle he lived off of coffee, but that his state would lead to a happy ending... He would've never guessed.
Sensibile al tocco by RainbowLSparrow
Scars | Mizuki/Umino Iruka
General Audiences | 1/1 | 636
Summary:
" Aveva sempre avuto un rapporto conflittuale con la sua cicatrice. Non ne faceva un problema estetico, quello per lui non era mai stato così importante. In fondo a Konoha non era di certo l'unico ad avere cicatrici, era probabilmente molto più comune di quanto facesse piacere ammettere. Il suo problema era quello che quella cicatrice significavano per lui. "
Sensitive to touch by RainbowLSparrow
Scars | Mizuki/Umino Iruka
General Audiences | 1/1 | 643
Summary:
" He had always had a conflicted relationship with his scar. He didn't make it an aesthetic problem, that had never been so important to him. After all, in Konoha he was certainly not the only one with scars, it was probably much more common than he was pleased to admit. His problem was what that scar meant to him. "

Hatake to the Rescue... and Dinner? by Jubokko
Overworked & Sleep Deprived | Hatake Kakashi/Umino Iruka
General Audiences | 1/1 | 1530
Summary:
Years worth of training kept Iruka from faceplanting. Fatigue, however, caused one hand to shoot out and grab hold of something to keep himself from losing balance. Unfortunately, as full awareness returned to him, he realized that the “something” that he’d taken hold of was none other than the collar of Kakashi’s flak jacket. The stupid jounin was blushing again. “What—the hell are—you doing?” Iruka wheezed. "You ask me on a date, then try to run away before you can hear my answer? How rude!” Kakashi seemed to squirm under Iruka’s scrutinizing glare. “Well, I—uh—” [Or—Iruka has a long day and waltzes out of a restaurant without his dinner and flak jacket. Kakashi seizes the opportunity to ask an important question... and completely loses his cool]

Not when it’s all for the kids anyway.

Closing his eyes, Iruka dug into the pocket of his bathrobe and withdrew a small, velvet box. He didn’t need to see the inside in order to know the familiar pattern inscribed on the ring. It had been burned into his flesh for decades, just as it had been on Kakashi’s, binding them together—two unwitting souls divided by pain and conflict for so long. Too long. Iruka breathed, fingers tightening around the box. Today could have—would have—been the happiest day of his life. When the tears began to fall, silently tracing down his cheeks, he did nothing to fight them."

What Makes Iruka So Special? by mandapandabug
Family | Umino Iruka & Uzumaki Naruto
General Audiences | 1/1 | 2421
Summary:
It is their weekly Ramen dinner and Naruto has had something on his mind for a while: how come Iruka had such a similar story to many of the "villains" of his story, and yet he was so good? Iruka had faced the death of his parents, his only family, and been alone most of his life, but he didn't turn to evil means. Even when it was revealed that his "best friend" had betrayed him and used him his whole life, Iruka was still open and kind. What set him apart? Naruto wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he isn't so great with words and expressing himself. Iruka on the other hand is just grateful to still get to be in Naruto's life at all, even though he's an annoying little brat still, Hokage title or no.

The Photographs Under the Hutch by kaoruhana
Family
General Audiences | 1/1 | 6560
Summary:
It strikes Iruka then that in depriving Naruto of the knowledge of his parents' identities, the village did Naruto a grave injustice. And did the Yondaime and Kushina-san a great disservice. Iruka has never thought twice about what it must be like for Naruto who doesn’t know anything about the identity of his parents save for the last name he carries. But now, in his apartment, when Naruto shyly asks if there is something he can do to honor them, the way Iruka does his, it really hits him that Naruto is a lonely child who has been... left behind by the village. No, not left behind, but...neglected by them. Iruka can never imagine going a day without lighting the incense in front of his parents’ photo and bowing to their photo in the morning. He can’t imagine how Naruto must feel to be deprived of such a thing. “I think you don’t have to worry about your parents Naruto.” He whispers. “But, if you want, we can see if we can make a little memorial for them so that you can honor them too.” And as he says it, Iruka realizes that he means it. He will somehow find a way to give Naruto this small thing when so much has been taken from him.

Summary:
Iruka’s eye ticked. At this current moment in time, he very much wanted to yell at Kakashi, scold him even. And he really wanted to drag Kakashi in by the ear to one of his lectures, particularly the upcoming one he is supposed to give on the use of proper hand seals tomorrow, and remind him why one should always be careful of what hand seals are used when trying new jutsus. Which is what he will classify this as. Because the jutsu to substitute someone with a log should not turn someone into a mouse.

Iruka had a secret. His parents always told him he was lucky; he could grow out his hair and hide the rough scar. He was of Konoha and shouldn’t have to bear any burden of their sins. What were their sins? He wished he had asked, but he was a rambunctious 10-year-old and was happy to just run freely about the village. He made some friends, but his parents were loners. They didn’t like Iruka to be out late or with people he had not introduced to them specifically. Now he understands their trepidation. Now he wishes he had more information. Now it is too late.

Snuggling with an Uncle-Grandpa (or Two) by kaoruhana
Family | Umino Iruka & Yamato | Tenzou
General Audiences | 1/1 | 1434
Summary:
Iruka smiled as he realized that their bed would be invaded soon. He loved Metal and Sarada both, but there was a special place in his heart for the little girl. Yamato teased him and said it was likely because she was a cuddler. A small part of Iruka agreed. There was something special about being one of the few that Sarada always sought out to cuddle with. Knowing that she, as a tiny child who needed protection, sought out him when it was naptime or she was sleepy, made love swell in Iruka’s heart. Sarada wasn’t yet a Shinobi, she didn’t understand how important it was to be able to trust someone to relax in their presence and sleep when they were around. But when she’d first toddled up to him two years ago, arms outstretched, and had fallen asleep on his shoulder, Iruka knew it was special. And that Sarada was precious. And that he would do everything in his power to show her that. And if that included cuddling up with her and having her small body wriggling its way under the covers of the futon he shared with Yamato, snuggling up against his side, he would welcome it.

"It took them a long time that evening to put Iruka to sleep. He refused to listen to anything they tried to say to him, he collapsed in a corner of the room and ignored them. They tried to feed him, but he refused the food. They had to. wait until he was too tired to resist to be able to take him to bed. Kakashi and Naruto had stayed close to him, had tried to console him, but apparently, the wound for that Iruka was still too fresh to think of anything but everything he had lived through. In the end he cried himself to sleep."

Summary:
"Ci misero molto tempo quella sera a mettere Iruka a dormire. Si rifiutava di ascoltare qualsiasi cosa provassero a dirgli, si era accasciato in un angolino della stanza e li aveva ignorati. Avevano provato a farlo mangiare, ma aveva rifiutato il cibo. Avevano dovuto aspettare che fosse troppo stanco per opporsi per poterlo portare a letto. Kakashi e Naruto erano rimasti vicini a lui, avevano provato a consolarlo, ma a quanto pare, la ferita per quell'Iruka era ancora troppo fresca per poter pensare ad altro se non a tutto quello che aveva vissuto. Alla fine aveva pianto fino a quando non era crollato."

Il malvagio piano di Fiorello
Parole: 1609
No beta, we die like men
Fandom: Sanremo RPF (Non ci credo che ho davvero scritto questa cosa)
Ship: Amadello, side Bossille/Domille, mentioned Ferro e suo marito
Note autore: Doveva essere una drabble, è diventata una one-shot... Dal fondo del trash, vi prensento la fanfiction amadello ufficiale! Yay! Non ho idea di cosa ho scritto perché non ho riletto una parola... Potrebbe essere piena di errori e salti di logica, ma va beh... Godetevela in tutto il suo trash!
Fiorello si sta preparando nel suo camerino. Questa è l’ultima serata, la grande finale, l’epica conclusione del settantesimo festival di Sanremo e tutto è andato secondo i piani.
Fiorello sorride al suo riflesso nello specchio mentre si sistema la sua elegante e luccicante giacca. Gli mancherà un po’ indossare abiti così sfarzosi una volta finito il festival, ma al momento gli interessa solo quanto bene gli sta questa giacca e quanto renderà migliore la serata che sta per iniziare.
Qualcuno bussa alla porta «Signor Fiorello, tra cinque minuti sul palco!» annuncia un tecnico aprendo appena uno spiraglio per farsi sentire. «Certo, certo. Grazie.» risponde Fiorello e improvvisamente sente che gli tremano le mani. Era completamente calmo fino ad ora, ma adesso, con la realizzazione che la serata sta davvero per cominciare, l’agitazione ha cominciato a salire. «Ce la puoi fare. Sei uno showman. Sarà una passeggiata per te.» si dice guardandosi un’ultima volta allo specchio. «È andato tutto perfettamente secondo i piani fino ad adesso e così sarà anche stasera.»
L’Ariston è pronto per la finale, il palco sembra più luminoso che mai, file di vasi pieni di fiori decorano ogni angolo libero e Amadeus sta salutando il pubblico. Fiorello si incanta un momento a guardarlo e si lascia scappare un sorriso “Quella giacca è orrenda…” pensa “Ma minchia, gli sta da Dio…” e prima che possa ritornare del tutto alla realtà sente il suo segnale e deve correre sul palco per il suo sketch di apertura.
Fiorello sorride con il suo miglior sorriso da showman, ma è ancora disorientato e assorto nei suoi pensieri. Non riesce proprio a concentrarsi. Amadeus se ne deve essere accorto perché gli lancia un’occhiata un po’ preoccupata e poi cerca di coprirla con una battuta «Ah, niente costumi stasera?» chiede con quel sorriso a trentadue denti e Fiorello è abbastanza sicuro di aver visto una traccia di rossore sulle guance del suo Ama’. «Ah, no, no… Stasera dobbiamo essere molto seri, Amadeus. È la finale dopotutto, è importante, non c’è spazio per le sciocchezze.» risponde Fiorello facendo del suo meglio per rimanere serio fino alla fine. L’espressione confusa di Amadeus è abbastanza per confermargli che ci è riuscito. Amadeus si riprende e annuncia la prima esibizione prima di ritirarsi velocemente dietro le quinte insieme a Fiorello.
«Fiore, senti, tutto okay? Ti ho visto un po’… Troppo serio… Stai cercando di nascondermi qualcosa? Uno sketch particolare? Mi vuoi fare qualche scherzo?» chiede subito Amadeus con gli occhi pieni di preoccupazione e Fiorello deve fare del suo meglio per non mettersi subito a rassicurarlo. Si costringe a ricordarsi il suo piano e risponde con il tono più freddo possibile «Sono molto serio, Amadeus. Sei il conduttore, dovresti capire che questa è la serata in cui bisogna essere seri, o forse hai dimenticato come fare il tuo lavoro?» Amadeus resta senza parole e Fiorello pensa che forse ha esagerato, ma adesso è troppo tardi per tornare indietro, così decide di non aggiungere altro e si allontana.
Amadeus è un professionista, in fondo, e riesce ad affrontare il resto della serata senza farsi distrarre troppo dalle parole di Fiorello, ma lui lo osserva bene, lo conosce, sa che nel fondo della sua mente Amadeus ci ha rimuginato tutta la sera. Ma il conduttore continua a comportarsi come le altre sere: accoglie i suoi sketch con entusiasmo, ride ampiamente alle sue battute e continua a chiamarlo “ciurì”. Il cuore di Fiorello si scioglie ancora ogni volta, ma deve mantenere la sua apparenza seria e posata: non ricambia il soprannome, non ride tanto quanto le altre sere, si tiene sempre ad un passo o due di distanza e si comporta con la sua solita amichevolezza solo con gli ospiti e gli artisti. In particolare con Tiziano Ferro da il suo massimo: se qualcuno dovesse spiegare il significato di “gay” userebbe sicuramente qualche immagine di Fiorello e Tiziano in questa serata. Ogni limite che si può oltrepassare, Fiorello lo oltrepassa, ma sempre mantenendo le distanze da Amadeus.
Nel backstage Tiziano lo prende da parte per un attimo «Non stai esagerando un po’? Vic mi ha dato il permesso di aiutarti con il tuo folle piano, ma… Insomma, Fiore non credevo che arrivassi a tanto…» il cantante sembra genuinamente preoccupato e Fiorello è un po’ commosso «Tranquillo Tiziano, ho tutto sotto controllo e il bello deve ancora arrivare.» risponde lui sorridendo con aria di sfida, mentre Tiziano sgrana gli occhi «Oh no. Così mi spaventi sul serio, Fiore.» Fiorello ride «Beh, puoi dire a Vic che si divertirà molto…» Tiziano lo guarda male per un attimo «Rosario, Vic è in sala stasera, faccio un po’ fatica ad andare a parlargli, non credi?»
La serata continua a scorrere e Fiorello può vedere la confusione crescere sul volto di Amadeus di minuto in minuto. Si sente un po’ in colpa, ma solo un po’. Adesso sta per esserci l’ultima esibizione, quella di Achille Lauro, e l’attenzione di tutti è al massimo. Fiorello si affretta a raggiungere il giovane cantante nel backstage.
Achille sfoggia un meraviglioso costume da diavolo ispirato a quello di Elton John: ha davvero superato sé stesso stasera con la sua sfida a tutti i boomer di Sanremo, non solo un vestito provocante, non solo un vestito ispirato ad una grande icona LGBT, ma un vestito che richiama il Diavolo. Fiorello si sente fiero come un genitore. «Pronto, Fiorello?» chiede Achille mentre finisce di controllare il suo costume, Boss Dom è accanto a lui che lo aiuta. «Sono nato pronto, caro Achille. Vuoi due?» rilancia Fiorello e Boss Dom sorride compiaciuto «Stavamo aspettando questa occasione da quando siamo stati selezionati per il festival. Sarà epico.» Fiorello annuisce e sono tutti pronti per partire. Un attimo prima del loro segnare Achille da un bacio a Boss Dom «Dovresti risparmiarti per dopo.» lo prende in giro lui e Achille risponde a tono «Scusa, non potevo resistere.» Fiorello continua a sentirsi un genitore fiero, ma anche un po’ un terzo incomodo.
Ed ecco il momento decisivo. Achille viene chiamato sul palco e arriva accolto da scoscianti applausi. Il suo costume fa davvero effetto. Fiorello segue a ruota con una specie di vestito addosso e il pubblico è visibilmente confuso dalla sua presenza. La musica parte e Fiorello divide il microfono con Achille, dando tutto sé stesso. Ed ecco che al ritornello si toglie il vestito per rivelare la tutina semitrasparente da Freddie Mercury che Achille ha indossato la prima sera. Boss gli sorride e Achille gli si avvicina per mettergli il rossetto. Fiorello continua a cantare e a saltellare di qua e di là, il pubblico è sempre più confuso, ma non può evitare di essere anche entusiasta: è una performance meravigliosa. Purtroppo finisce quasi troppo presto. Le ultime note scompaiono e Fiorello si appoggia ad Achille esausto, ma con un sorriso soddisfatto. Il pubblico si alza in piedi per applaudire, Fiorello riesce a vedere che Vic, il marito di Tiziano, sta già ridendo come un matto. Adesso bisogna vedere se tutto si concluderà come previsto.
Amadeus torna sul palco confuso, estasiato e rosso come un peperone. Fiorello se la ride tra sé e sé. «Achille Lauro, signore e signori! E Rosario Fiorello! Wow! Eh… Non sapevo che questo sarebbe successo… Ma wow! Le sorprese della diretta, eh?» si avvicina ai due artisti e continua a lanciare occhiate a Fiorello che non muove un dito per rimettersi qualcosa addosso e coprire quella tutina. «Rosario… Rosario, ciurì, non mi avevi detto di questa cosa… Da quanto…? Non so neanche se vale come esibizione dato che hai cantato anche tu…» Amadeus è disorientato e non sa più cosa dire, lo ha pure chiamato per nome… Fiorello è un po’ intenerito. «Ma, Ama… L’esibizione non è finita.» risponde sorridendo come lo Stregatto. Il momento è arrivato. «Ah no?» Amadeus non riesce ad aggiungere altro per un momento «Che cosa c’è adesso?» aggiunge ancora incantato da Fiorello. Lui si avvicina, afferra il bavero del conduttore e lo bacia.
È uno di quei momenti in cui nessuno capisce cosa stia succedendo, c’è solo una gran confusione e un sussulto che coinvolge tutto il teatro, poi l’orchestra inizia a suonare una musica romantica. Se avessero detto ad Amadeus che l’ultima esibizione di Sanremo 2020 si sarebbe conclusa con Fiorello che se lo limona in mondovisione vestito da Freddie Mercury, non ci avrebbe mai creduto. Eppure eccolo qui, tra le braccia di Fiorello, del suo ciurì, con svariati segni di rossetto intorno alla bocca.
Quando Fiorello lo lascia andare sono entrambi senza fiato per un qualche momento «Fior… Fio… Fiore… Credev… Credevo che non mi sopportassi più… Insomma da come mi hai trattat…» Amadeus cerca di parlare, ma Fiorello lo interrompe con un altro bacio, molto più casto, che dura appena un secondo. Amadeus sa che dovrebbe condurre il dannato settantesimo festival di Sanremo in questo momento, ma per come Fiorello lo sta guardando, può andare tutto al diavolo: il festival, l’Ariston e la Rai. «Volevo farti ingelosire un po’… Per tastare il terreno vedere se avevo una chance… E stasera volevo sorprenderti… Quindi il miglior modo era tenerti lontano, farti credere che non ci fosse assolutamente niente, che le scorse serate fossero state solo show. Ma nemmeno io sono uno showman così bravo da fingere tutto quello: era davvero tutto per te, il vestito da Don Matteo, il vestito da De Filippi, la canzone che ho cantato ieri… E avevo detto di aver messo la tutina di Achille, no?»
I microfoni sono ancora accesi. Tutti hanno sentito tutto. Tutti hanno visto tutto. E adesso all’Ariston regna un silenzio di tomba. L’unica cosa che si sente è Vic, che continua a morire dal ridere.

“An experiment”
This excerpt is brought to you thanks to @withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus‘s prompt she sent me for my “100 followers drabble challenge”.
I spent many days trying to come up with something and after some internet, after watching some videos friends spammed to me, I was able to write!
The original is around 1860 words long, but I decided to translate & share with you a shorter part that included the prompt I was given.
The prompt was: "I never wanted this to be/end this/that way"
(you can find an extra snippet here *click*)
“An experiment”
Probably her brother was in one of those rooms...but which one? She couldn't waste time checking every door, and wasting time could mean rising the risk of stumbling into one of the assistants - or if bad luck wanted, the Doctor themself! - while searching.
A broken scream of pain stopped the train of thoughts of Kelsie. Even if the sound was muffled and vaguely distorted by the basement's echo, she was sure that it was her brother's voice. She was quickly moving again along the big corridor trying to understand from which door the pained screams were coming from and in the end, she found it. Her trembling right hand moved the tiny piece of metal that covered the little rectangular opening in the metal door and she saw him.
«REESE!» she exclaimed, both relieved for having found him and scared for the situation they were in. Too focused on the finding of her brother to notice that it was very odd that the heavy door of that little laboratory wasn't locked.
She entered the lab and rapidly went towards her brother that was tied to what looked like a metal table. «Oh my god!» shrieked, hands covering her mouth while she stared wide-eyed at her suffering brother «Oh my god, Reese! What they have done to you?!» she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Reese was strapped to that table, drips with mysterious liquids connected to an arm that was no more human... or rather, at a closer look that arm has never been human. Some stained bandages were covering a portion of the shoulder and the chest of the brother, maybe they grafted it onto him? Atrocious!
Other scars were scattered on what was uncovered of his body, what else they did to him?
The young man's eyes were glossy with fever and the sclera had an unhealthy yellowish shade, glazed look forcefully facing towards the ceiling while his laboured breathing was sometimes interrupted by pained cries.
«Reese! Reese!» said her reaching him and moving away his bangs that were stuck to his face because of the fever sweats «Calm down, it' me Kelsie» she murmured «I'm sorry, I'm really fucking sorry... I... I only wanted to find a safe place, a place where they could get you healed...» sobbed, barely able to hold back tears «I never wanted this to end this way! I'm sorry Reese!».
Reese seemed to come back to his senses feeling his sister at his side «...scape...» uttered faintly with a scratchy voice «...elsie...o away...»
«We'll go away together, don't worry!» exclaimed her in response «I'll untie you right away and we'll go away in a blink» she tried to give her voice the most optimistic and calm tone possible while moving and starting to fumble with the thick straps that kept her brother trapped.
He whimpered and stirred in his constricted laying, shaking his head «No... Kel... scape...» uttered with an anxious voice tone while his sister was trying to free him.
«Quiet, quiet, I think I figured it out,» said her, faking a happy tone, finally being able to untie the human arm from the restrains «Here we go! Now I'll finish untying and-»
«RUN» croaked her brother, using all the air and strength that was left in his body, losing again consciousness.
The young woman didn't even have the time to say anything that the thud of the heavy door made her jump.
«Well, well, well...» said a voice that startled Kelsie that was standing still like she was petrified «What are you trying to do, little mouse?»
«Doc!» gasped the young woman turning towards the door, her hands grasping the border of the metallic table where was her brother.
Tense as she was, she was barely able to stutter something to the Doctor that meanwhile was moving slow steps inside the lab.
«Well?» the Doctor commented, tilting a bit their head to the side to be able to observe her better with their only eye «Little mouse forgot how to speak?» teased.
Even with the white mask covering their face from the nose to the chin and the red hair covering their right side of the face, it was easy to perceive from their voice the not-so-reassuring grin that was stretching their lips. He was walking slowly, one hand tucked in the pocket of the white lab coat they constantly wore, while the other was caressing lightly the top of another table on which were kept many tools.
Kelsie started to walk too, moving on the side since her bother's table was right behind her back. «I-I wanted... I wanted to see Reese» babbled the young woman finally regaining enough courage to talk, courage that she then took in both hands to continue «What have you done to him?! Why you have reduced him this way?!»
The Doctor's look moved towards a vial that they picked with their free hand, observing the dense liquid inside it «What have I done to him... mh...» mumbled like he was lost in thought, slightly stirring the vial to make the liquid swirl «An experiment» commented, plainly, putting the vial back in the small tube rack.
Italian version under the cut!
Questo estratto vi è offerto grazie allo spunto che @withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus mi ha mandato per il “100 followers drabble challenge”.
Ho trascorso molti giorni cercando di ideare qualcosa e dopo un po’ di internet, dopo aver guardato qualche video che amici mi avevano spammato, sono stato in grado di scrivere!
L’originale si aggira sulle 1860 parole di lunghezza, ma ho deciso di tradurre e condividere una parte più breve che include lo spunto che mi è stato dato.
Lo spunto era: “Io non ho mai voluto che questo fosse/finisse così/in questo modo”.

“Un esperimento”
Probabilmente il fratello si trovava in una di quelle stanze… ma quale? Non poteva perdere tempo a controllare ogni porta, così come avrebbe potuto rischiare di incappare in qualche assistente – o sfortuna non voglia, il Dottore stesso! - mentre cercava.
Un urlare strozzato di dolore riscosse Kelsie dai suoi pensieri. Anche se il suono era ovattato e vagamente deformato dalle eco dei sotterranei, era sicura che quella fosse la voce del fratello. Tornò a muoversi rapidamente lungo il grande corridoio cercando di capire da quale porta provenivano quelle urla di dolore e alla fine la trovò. Mano destra tremante andò a spostare la striscia di metallo che copriva la fessura che fungeva da spioncino nella porta di metallo e lo vide.
«REESE!» esclamò, a metà tra il sollievo per l’averlo ritrovato e lo spaventato per la situazione in cui si trovavano. Troppo concentrata sull’aver ritrovato il fratello per rendersi conto che fosse strano che la pesante porta del piccolo laboratorio non fosse stata chiusa a chiave.
Entrò e si affrettò a raggiungere il fratello legato a quello che pareva essere un tavolo di metallo. «O mio dio!» esclamò portandosi le mani a coprire la propria bocca, occhi sgranati che osservavano il fratello sofferente «Oh mio dio, Reese! Cosa ti hanno fatto?!» non riusciva a credere a ciò che vedeva.
Reese era legato a quel tavolo, flebo con misteriosi liquidi collegati a un braccio che di umano sembrava non avere più nulla… anzi, a guardare meglio quel braccio non era mai stato umano. Delle bende sporche coprivano parte della spalla e del busto del fratello, che glielo avessero trapiantato addosso? Atroce!
Altre cicatrici costellavano ciò che si vedeva del corpo del ragazzo, cos’altro gli avevano fatto?
Gli occhi del ragazzo erano lucidi di febbre e la sclera aveva una malsana colorazione tendente al giallognolo, sguardo vitreo forzatamente rivolto verso il soffitto mentre il respiro affannoso era di tanto in tanto interrotto da versi di dolore.
«Reese! Reese!» disse la ragazza affiancandolo e scostandogli dalla fronte la lunga frangia che gli si era appiccicata per via del sudore causato probabilmente dalla forte febbre che aveva «Calmati, sono io, Kelsie» gli mormorò «Mi dispiace, mi dispiace un casino… io… io volevo solo trovare un posto sicuro, un posto dove potessero rimetterti in sesto...» singhiozzò, trattenendo a fatica le lacrime «Non ho mai voluto che andasse a finire in questo modo! Mi dispiace Reese!».
Reese sembrò iniziare a tornare in sé e accorgersi della sorella al suo fianco «...appa...» bofonchiò fiocamente con la voce ridotta a un raspo «...elsie...a via...»
«Andremo via insieme, non preoccuparti!» esclamò lei in risposta «Ti slego subito e ce ne andremo via in un attimo» cercò di mantenere un tono di voce il più possibile calmo e positivo, mentre si spostò iniziando ad armeggiare con le spesse cinghie che tenevano il fratello intrappolato.
Lui mugolò e si mosse in quella sua posa costretta, scuotendo il capo «No… Kel… appa...» bofonchiò con tono più agitato mentre la sorella cercava di liberarlo.
«Tranquillo, tranquillo, forse ho capito» fece lei fingendo un tono allegro, riuscendo infine ad liberare il braccio umano dalle cinghie «Ecco qua! Ora finisco di slegarti e-»
«CORRI» gracchiò il fratello usando tutta l’aria e le forze che gli rimanevano in corpo, perdendo nuovamente i sensi.
La ragazza non fece in tempo a replicare che il tonfo della pesante porta della stanza che si chiuse la fece sobbalzare.
«Bene, bene, bene…» disse una voce che fece trasalire Kelsie che era rimasta immobile come pietrificata «Cosa stai cercando di fare, topolino?»
«Doc!» esclamò la ragazza voltandosi in direzione della porta, mani che si strinsero sul bordo del tavolo di metallo su cui si trovava il fratello. Nervosa com’era, era a malapena in grado di bofonchiare qualcosa alla volta del Dottore che intanto muoveva lenti passi nel laboratorio.
«Beh?» fece il Dottore, inclinando appena il capo da un lato così da adocchiarla meglio con il suo unico occhio «Il topolino ha dimenticato come si parla?» la punzecchiò.
Nonostante la maschera bianca che gli copriva il volto dal naso al mento e i capelli rossi che gli nascondevano il lato destro del viso, si poteva facilmente intuire dal suo tono di voce il ghigno poco rassicurante che doveva star stirando le sue labbra. Avanzava lentamente, una mano infilata nella rispettiva tasca del camice bianco che indossava perennemente mentre l’altra accarezzò leggermente la superficie di un tavolo su cui erano presenti diversi strumenti.
Kelsie iniziò a muoversi a propria volta, spostandosi in laterale avendo alle proprie spalle la via bloccata dal tavolo con il fratello. «I-io volevo...io volevo vedere Reese» balbettò la ragazza ritrovando finalmente il coraggio di parlare, coraggio che quindi prese a due mani per proseguire «Cosa gli hai fatto?! Perché lo hai ridotto così?!»
Lo sguardo del Dottore si era spostato su una provetta che aveva afferrato con la mano libera, osservandone il denso liquido all’interno «Cosa gli ho fatto...mh...» borbottò quasi sovrappensiero facendo oscillare la provetta per muovere il liquido al suo interno «Un esperimento» rispose, semplicemente, andando a riporre la provetta nel piccolo porta-provette.
