Even More Injury Memes @radicalrascals said: [ FIND ] for sender to rescue receiver after they’ve been tortured. | (Nick for Theo)

N i c k ?

Theo slowly opened his eyes as he heard what sounded to be his brother's voice echoing in the tunnel. His body was shivering, the cold, wet ground against his body having soaked through his jacket and jeans. It wasn't clear how long he had been lying there, in a pool of his own blood, and he didn't know how Nick had even found him; until he recalled the monster's last words to him "I’ll get someone to pick you up." He must have told Nick, causing him to panic, trying to sit up far too quickly and causing his head to spin and his stomach to turn. Rolling over onto his hands and knees, he brought up what little was in his stomach, retching and gasping until he felt the hand of his brother against his back.

"Nico..." His voice was weak, didn't even sound as though it were his own, and he looked down to his clenched fist to reveal the coin that had been left for him to deliver. He was a mess, sweat and blood having coated his hair to his skin, his limbs feeling weak, and he turned to look up at his twin. "Por que? Por que você… escondeu isso de mim?"

Cont. from @radicalrascals || Nick and Ben (x)

Remaining cautious, but not wanting to escalate things too quickly, Ben slowly lowered his weapon as he watched the man hold up his hands. He knew too well that someone could feign surrender, trick someone into thinking that they were not a threat, but he also wasn't about to start shooting over nothing. If anything, it was a waste of ammunition that he could not afford.

"You're staying in that place?" he asked, motioning to the nearby cabin that he had intended to check, keeping his gaze on the stranger. "Not exactly what you'd call a cosy weekend getaway..."

Thinking about how they both share the name Joel and both look cozy AF in their flannels ☺️

Ways to React to an Injury @radicalrascals said: "I don’t often like to get my hands dirty… but seeing you like this makes it worth it." (from Valentine to Ben) | "Nossa! Are you okay?!" (from Nick to Ben) | either/or, perhaps both at the same time, you decide ;)

Ben's head was spinning and his stomach turning, the blood loss getting to him a great deal. He actually didn't know how long it had been, how many times this man had taken from him, but it was long enough to leave him confused and exhausted. He had not encountered this vampire before, had no past encounters with him for this to be personal, however it seemed to just be a chance that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hearing the amused words from the man hovering over him made him want to shout, to fight back despite how weak he felt, but as he rolled over slightly, all he could do was go limp and lay there in stillness. The entire situation felt too familiar, memories of his youth and his torment in the nest rushing back.

Silence fell around him, and it took him a moment to realise that he had been left alone, wondering if this man simply knew that he would not be able to easily escape. But then he heard something. The rushing of footsteps getting closer in a fast manner, and a slight turn of his head revealed Nick having entered the room, crying out the worried words in his direction.

"Nick..." he breathed out, reaching blindly with his hand. "You have to get out of here... Not safe." He wasn't able to fully articulate the concern, but he did not want his partner getting in trouble or worse because he tried to save him. "Please... Go."

"I'm sorry... About back there. I hesitated." Bella sighed, keeping her eyes on the road as she drove them back towards the base. "You taught me better than that..."

Cont. from @radicalrascals || Ben, Nick and Rafael (x)

Ben's heart was almost in his throat as he offered the older brother a friendly smile in greeting. He glanced towards Nick with a hint of colour in his cheeks caused by the compliment, nodding his head slightly as he observed the interaction between the two siblings. He got the impression that Rafael hadn't necessarily been aware of their meeting today, and it made the hunter a little uneasy, but when a hand was extended to him, it took the edge off just a little.

"The pleasure's all mine." Ben replied, shaking the others hand as he noticed the rather firm grip. He managed a weak chuckle when Rafael mentioned the way Nick had spoken about him. "Um, well as long as it's all good things, I guess." He glanced to Nick who looked rather uncomfortable and he smiled softly. Sitting down, he got comfortable and waited for the other two men to join him, sliding menus over to them both.

"Oh... Well, I'm not all that exciting really. I'm in pest control." he replied, hating how lame that sounded, but it was a lie without being a complete lie. He did take out pests, just not necessarily the kind one might assume. "I have my own small business and I travel around a lot... As for where I'm from, originally Chile by way of Texas."

Lil thing for @radicalrascals

"Nick! I'm not going away until you open up, so get your ass out here now!"

[etxrnaleclipse]

Seeing the way Nick reacted to hearing the news that Ben would be ok had Cris wondering what it might be like to have someone like that in his life. Someone who he loved so dearly that he would feel that kind of fear and relief for. It was not something he was familiar with, outside of how he loved his friends, but it was nice to know that Ben had that kind of person in his life. The hug was a little unexpected, but he wrapped his arms around Nick without question, allowing him to have whatever time he needed, gently running his hand over the other man's back.

"You don't have to thank me, Nick. I'll be here when you're ready to go." Cris gave a small smile, accompanied by a nod, before watching the other man walk away. It had been the day from hell for all of them, mostly for Nick and Ben, and they all deserved a break. But for now, he would take his friend to the hospital so that they could see for themselves. He grabbed his coat from the side just in time to see Nick emerge, and he waved a hand. "Please, Nick. No repayment necessary. Let's not think on the what ifs, let's just get to Ben and we can focus on the fact that you're both alive."

For a good two heartbeats Nick was simply staring, processing the news before the realisation reached his face and the corners of his mouth twitched into a smile whilst his eyes started to water again. Both laughing and crying, he wrapped his arms around Cris and buried his face against the other's shoulder. Ben was alive. The relief shook Nick with a heartfelt laugh and made his heart light as a feather and his soul sing with new hope.

"I'll get ready," Nick promised upon releasing his friend. He wiped away the tears that stained his cheeks, but it was a vain attempt. He just couldn't stop crying in relief. "Thank you so, so much." Shuffling back into the bathroom and out again into the hallway, Nick got dressed on the go. It was apparent how he was still not quite himself, struggling to focus entirely on the here and now looking more confused than anything else. But hope was slowly overriding the fear and dread and exhaustion, so that eventually he stood before Cris fully dressed and eager to leave.

"I don't know how I can ever repay you. If you hadn't come, Ben... he would not have made it. Maybe I wouldn't have either." He certainly wouldn't have wanted to. "Thank you, with all my heart. Sou eternamente grato a você."

Reunion After Physical Trauma @radicalrascals said: [ STEADY ] for sender to catch or steady receiver when receiver tries to stand up too early or to push their body past what it’s ready for (Nick to Ben)

The ambush had come out of nowhere and Ben wasn't entirely sure what had happened. All he knew was that splitting up on their search had been a rookie error that he should have known better than to make. He came back to his senses with the taste of blood on his tongue and the feeling of pain in his leg, suspecting that it had been broken.

"Mierda..." He moved to stand, trying his best to gain his footing while using the wall for support, however he felt his injured leg give out beneath him, sending him plummeting back down. Fortunately, he felt hand grip him before he could hit the ground, recognising his partner immediately as he relaxed into the grip. "Hey amor... You timed that... beautifully."

Staring intensely at the damaged vehicle, Ben's heart rate increased slightly at the thought of what could have done that. Why would the nest have sent someone to damage this man's car? Was he simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Either way, it meant that he now had someone requiring his protection and he wasn't entirely a fan of that fact. It wasn't that he disliked the idea, but it meant he had more than just the hunt to focus on.

"It's ok." he replied, dismissing the apology, however before he could respond any further, he heard the movement from nearby and spun around to face the bushes, gun at the ready. At least Nick had the right idea in staying close, and he aimed the weapon expertly, throwing a small glance to the other man. "Stay close, stay behind me."

send in “ i was wondering when you’d wake up. ” for the receiver to wake up in a hospital bed to find the sender sitting in the chair by their bedside, clearly having been there since they were taken into hospital. @radicalrascals said: "I was wondering when you'd wake up." (from Nick to Ben)

"Nick?" There was a moment when he first awakened when he didn't entirely realise what was going on, what had happened. All he knew was that he was lying in a hospital bed with his partner by his side. But then it began to rush back to him. The fear, the growling, the pain, the blood... Everything was there and instantly he had to fight the urge to bring up what little was in his stomach.

"No, you... You're a..." He couldn't even bring himself to say it, to mention the word as it hit him like a kick to the gut that Nick had hidden that from him. Had he been in a more reasonable mindframe, he would have likely understood the secrecy to an extent given their first meeting, but all he knew was that he had just found out Nick's secret in the worst possible way.

Emotionally Intense Prompts @radicalrascals said: “Perhaps I don’t say it enough, but… I’d like you to know that I’m always here, if you ever wanted to talk.” (for Ben and Nick)

His silence was deafening when he allowed himself to process what Nick was saying. He hadn't gone into that much details about what happened in his past, about what happened to his son, but he was sure that he had mentioned enough to make the other man know that something was there. Some dark shadow from his past that hung over the hunter, holding him captive in his own mind. But as they had began to grow closer, perhaps he could trust the other with that part of himself.

"I had a son." he began, the words seeming almost painful to get out as his eyes glistened in the dim light from the table. "I was still a kid myself, but I got out of hunting and I had a life. I had a family, I thought I had it all right. But it was all a lie, this world never leaves you. He would have turned fifteen today. But I screwed up, I let myself think I could have a normal life and he died because I thought I could just turn away and pretend this world didn't exist..."
