#rayman 2 v. tbt

[gladesglo]

@rayheroism wished: Hide it, hide it, hide it!, He has to side it, he worried all of them too much by now, he didn't want to worry them more, sometimes when the kids hugged him, his face changed from one of happiness and love to one of pain, a light hiss leaving his lips, as he does his best to hide the open wound on his side, his clothes getting stained with red, as he places his hand over it, smiling at Globox as if nothing was wrong but truly was... he was bleeding... he truly got hurt... nis foot didn't matter but....

He was now starting to see double as his strenghts start to fail. his feet couldn't hold his weight anymore as the limbless hero started to go more pale by the second, until his strenght fully left his body, body parts flling one by one as his side got exposed, blood... almost looked like a stab wound, but not made by a knife, but a metal that perfored his side with the explosion. Body unresponsive, if it wasn't for hos his mouth opened to get air and his chest went up and down in a agitated way... He needed help or he would die right there and now...

HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW HE DIDN'T SEE IT BEFORE. Rayman's side is seeping with blood, it's evident through his clothes and all this time his children had been smothering his best friend. As soon as he sees it, blinking away tears of relief, relief now turned back into shear panic he demands a little callous than usual. ❝  KIDS, GET AWAY FROM HIM! ❞ He wasn't angry with them, just concerned. ❝  G-Go to Mommy!- Uglette, darling,...keep the kids back.❞

THEIR FRIENDS GATHERED HERE FOR WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS BEST FRIENDS FUNERAL STAND BACK TOO, WORRIED, THOUGH LETTING RAYMAN AND HIS BEST FRIEND HAVE SOME SPACE. ❝ Y-Y-Y-You're hurt, Rayman, why,...why didn't you say this before, you -❞ His momentary courage dissipates with the usual nervousness, he's trying hard not to just faint from the sight of blood alone.

THERE WAS NO TIME TO THINK, HE IS CAREFUL AND QUICK TO SCOOP HIS FRIEND INTO HIS ARMS. ❝ HELP! WE NEED HELP OVER HERE! He-he's bleeding, bleeding a--lot. ❞

Ly at least seemed to know what to do and in no time a tourniquet was applied to Rayman's side, she said the wound was too deep to heal with magic and needed time instead.

THAT'S WHEN GLOBOX DECIDED HIS FRIEND WAS COMING HIM WITH HIM. ❝ Now, Rayman, don't you move a single,...uh.❞  Right his friend didn't have limbs. ❝ Don't-Don't move you're hurt, you need to heal. I'm taking you back home with us.❞ And there would be no negotiation even as Globox bumbles with his words like an idiot.

[ 🌧️ ] Globox knew likely Rayman didn't want to feel like a burden but that wasn't what Rayman was . Not even close . It was one thing to have thought he had lost him once , that was merely hours ago now . Globox had been the one to find Rayman's shoe - his foot noless - after the explosion . The explosion seemed too intense even for a hero like his companion . Globox knew fear all too well but nothing could have prepared him for the sorrow and fear he had felt in that moment.

Now that's all over , not entirely for them but Rayman will heal now and Globox and his family will see to that . As he steps aback , looking down at his friend who now softly snores on the cushions of his sofa he sighs in relief , a smile contorting his odd-shaped face . His hand moves to hold his friend's .

❝ Didn't we promise we'd be friends forever ? I won't let you down . ❞

Hands resting on his chest and stomach, breaths slow and deep, making his chest go up and down with every breath he took from his nose. 𝐓𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝'𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐬, 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞. He listened to his friend's words... days, months, even longer-- He didn't want to be much of a trouble, he wasn't one that liked to do that, and less to his best friend. He already had a lot of troubles with his 650 children, he didn't want to be a nuisecase... but truth to be told, that family was like his own...

Eyes feeling heavy and more when he was resting on something rather comfortable, soft, the cushions felt like heaven against his bruised body, and that blanket, the warmth that emited throught his body... it felt so nice... In no time, the badly wounded limbless hero cuddled up aganst the blanket, falling sleep almost inmediately, his soft snorings were peaceful, he was in peace, knowing that his friend was taking care of him, he would trust his life on Globox's hands anytime...

[gladesglo]

Hand splayed across his friend's back, trying to keep Rayman anchored to reality. Maybe even anchored to life itself. He was fretful to lose Rayman so shortly after believing the worst had already happened. Globox wouldn't function without Rayman, not well anyway. It was true they were like brothers.

❝ It's Globox, Rayman, it's you're friend Globox.❞  He reassures, shaking as he quickly carries his friend as fast as he could, without jostling him too much. Rayman needed to rest.

The crowd faintly heard their hero's thanks as the frog carried his friend off. He hushes Rayman as he spoke. ❝ You're staying with us as long as you need. Days, weeks, months, longer. ❞  The funeral wasn't hosted too far from his house, Uglette and the children toddled after all beyond worried. Rayman got this way saving him, saving his children and saving the world. Again. Again and again. 

Globox may not be smart but he is loyal. 

Entering their tree home, he lays his friend onto the sofa. ❝ There! -- Kids, get Daddy some blankets for our guest! ❞ Three of the small children set off to find blankets, partly concerned and partly excited that Rayman was sleeping over.

Eyes closed, almost no hearing anything... only a white noise, he could feel hands over him, taking his body parts to keep him in one piece, that's when the hero opened his eyes, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭��𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠...

"Home? G-globox? Is that you?"

Asked Rayman half unsconscious as he let's his weight fall on the other's arms, he barely had any strenght left on his body to keep his body in one piece, how could he move in a first place?

His expresion said it all, he was in pain and in a lot of it, He tried not to scream, and suck in all the pain, but it was almost impossible, his side was burning with a very sharp pain, perhaps Globox is right and he should rest...

"A-are you sure that... I-I can stay? I don't want to be a bother..."

Said the hero, 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇, 𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕... 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔.

The words that Globox spoke sounded serious... so he should take him seriously... and so he agrees... he will go without talking back... but that doesn't mean that he won't help around once he feels with strenght again... Once his deep wound heals more or less and he is able to move again without any or almost any pain.

"I'll go, but only until I feel with strenghts again, then I'll leave at my own house to rest there. Thank you, Globox... Thank you... everyone"

Said Rayman before fall asleep in the arms of his best friend, tiredness and blood loss won this battle but definetly not the war.
