100 Ways (#7)

A/N: Been playing a lot of AC Odyssey recently, figured I'd dip my toe back into the fandom a bit. Not really timeline specific/bit of canon divergence. Hope you enjoy! ♥

7. “It’s okay.  I couldn’t sleep anyway.”

Alexios winced as he pressed a hand to his side. The makeshift bandage he’d made to stop the bleeding was doing a relatively good job of keeping most of the blood inside of his body. He stopped and gripped the wall, the poison slowly working its way out of his system. 

Ikaros perched on a small branch overhead. 

“Don’t give me that look,” Alexios huffed and winced. 

He pushed himself off the wall once the dizziness subsided and continued walking. He could see the villa where Brasidas and his men were residing. He knew he just walk in through the front, but he didn’t feel like putting up with all the questions from the other soldiers. 

His body was going to hate him in the morning as he started scaling the building across and made his way over the rooftops, jumping and landing on the villa. He waited until he regained his balance and climbed down landing on the balcony. 

“Malaka,” he hissed through his teeth and leaned against the wall. 

“Alexios?” 

Brasidas stepped out of the room. “By the gods,” he hurried over and gently wrapped an arm around Alexios’s waist to steady him. “What happened to you?” 

“Took a shortcut through…Akrokorinth Fort,” Alexios winced as they made the short walk to Brasidas’s room. 

“Of course you did,” Brasidas sighed and eased Alexios down onto the bed. “Don’t move.” He walked out of the room and Alexios focused on trying to remain upright. He noticed the bed was still a bit warm, the blankets discarded in the corner. 

He was doing a decent job having found a fixed point on the wall opposite to keep his attention when Brasidas returned with a small basin of water, towels and fresh bandages. He knelt on the floor in front of him and made quick work of getting most of his armor off. 

“I’m sorry…” Alexios apologized. 

“For what?” Brasidas carefully unwrapped the bandage and used one of the towels he’d dipped in the water to clean the blood.

“I didn’t mean to wake you,” Alexios answered. “I thought about going to Anthousa, but I didn’t want to scare the women. And I remembered you were here and…” he trailed off and winced as Brasidas continued to clean the wound. 

“It’s okay. I couldn’t sleep,” Brasidas shrugged and wrung out the towel. “And good thing too, I’d rather you didn’t bleed out on my balcony. Could you imagine what your mother would do if she found out?” 

“Don’t make me laugh,” Alexios snorted. 

Brasidas rewrapped the wound, much better than Alexios’s quick patch job, and made sure it was secure. 

“I’d say let’s get you cleaned up but you look ready to pass out,” Brasidas moved the basin of the water to a small side table. 

“Close to,” Alexios nodded. “Poison arrow. Street thugs. Long story.” 

“It always is,” Brasidas chuckled softly and eased him into lying down, covering him with the blanket. “One you can tell me in the morning.”
