Who: Sen, Norman
When: Mid-afternoon
Where: His cell
What: Sen tries to recover
Rating: TBA

Sen had showered, scrubbing at his skin until it was red and sore. He'd dried himself and changed into his pyjamas. He ached, he was a little torn, but it wasn't the worst he'd ever suffered, and doubted it'd be the last time he was injured during sex.

His head hurt, a dull thud behind his eyes. His cheek had a nasty red mark where Jimmy had backhanded him. He'd crawled onto the top bunk - a rarity in it's own right - usually he slept on the bottom bunk with Sword. He'd fallen asleep within minutes - another rarity - he rarely slept in the day, it was a risk, sleeping while the cells were open and anyone could walk in.

Yeah... completely normal. It was so annoying, though, that his old self wanted to come up and really start to snuggle. Norman ignored that and pretended. He did always want real family... And real families were there for each other like this.

"I don't want anyone to be my special someone," he said quietly. "I'm happy enough as it is. Anyway, I have you, oniichan. That's plenty."

"Mmhmm. You're stuck with my Niisan. You're stuck here for what? Nearly sixty years? Yep... You're stuck with me ALL that time. And then some!"

He smiled, snuggling against Norman. He knew it was foolish to trust anyone in UGH, but this was one man he trusted with his life.

"Honestly... I couldn't ask for a better sentence," Norman said. Oh, crap. He was getting mushy. Not a good sign. But he couldn't help it! Being here with Sen, holding him, talking to him... It brought back all those old feelings.

"Anyway," he resumed, trying desperately to keep things 'brotherly'. "You're okay, and you won't be doing that ever again. Right?"

Sen laughed a little, lightly poking Norman in the stomach. "Does Niisan need to wash his ears out? I'll be a good boy from now on Sir, I promise."

Norman laughed a little. "Do you realize how dirty that sounded, oniichan?" Well, they were brothers, and brothers would tease each other about that kind of stuff.

[dive-in-deep.livejournal.com]

"Mm. That's because you have a very dirty mind, Niisan!" He teased, tucking his head under Norman's chin, closing his eyes for a moment. He felt much better now Norman was here, but his head still ached a little.

He laughed at the teasing, hugging Sen a little tighter. How nice it would be if they really were brothers. Norman felt safe around Sen, almost free. And he probably could've stayed cuddling with Sen like this forever. But Norman knew better than that.

"... Maybe I should go now, huh? Wouldn't want Sword to see us like this." He said it, but he didn't move.

"You make it sound like we're doing something wrong. I might be his bitch, but he doesn't own me." He was quiet for a moment. "I might not even be his bitch anymore after he finds out about Snake..."

"I know I'm biased here, oniichan, but... that might not be such a terrible thing," Norman said quietly. "You don't need him." He admitted he didn't like the fact that Sen had whored himself, but that was because Sen was better than that. Norman couldn't imagine what Sword would think about it.

"...Want me to stay with you 'til he comes?"

[dive-in-deep.livejournal.com]

Sen threaded his fingers through Norman's curling them around the other man's. "I know you two don't exactly get on and there's a lot of bad blood between you, but he's special to me - he saved my life - more than once and I love him... I know he's a jerk, but I can't help it."

He nuzzled closer, once more tucking his head under Norman's chin. "You can stay if you like, I'd like that, but you don't have to."

Norman didn't know what to say. He understood better than he would've liked. He wanted to argue, to say that Sword didn't deserve Sen... But he'd already said it all before, and it wouldn't change anything. All he could do was hold on and hope he was comforting his friend.

"No matter what, I'll be here for you, oniichan."

"I know. That's what makes you so special, niisan. Most the people here are backstabbers and only looking out for themselves, but you're not like the rest of them." He smiled, pressing a soft kiss to Norman's cheek.

"You know I'm always here for you too, right?"
