Yeah. [Reno grunted uncomfortably as he shifted.] Thankfully only a little. Just couldn't get over that feeling, had no appetite. I shouldn't a' gone at all, none of us shoulda' gone.
It's not hospital-bad -- not yet, anyway. But man, I'm pissed. If I ever get my hands on one a' those fucks involved in this... !
[Yeah, he might risk re-ed just to give them some pain.]
Yes, well, the prospect of fresh fish had sounded well and good... but it was a zoo in there. [ He snorts in low disgust ] An actual feeding frenzy.
Found an old friend of mine there? But I only finished a plate and a half, with a little bit pushed off on him. I.... hope he's alright? His body's built to handle much more than mine, though. I haven't heard anything. So I'm sure he's fine.
You don't go killing anyone, Reno, please. Funny of me to say this, but I actually like having you around as you are
[Everything else Reno was about to say is lost in the wake of that statement.]
You... oh?
[It was something so unexpected to hear that he actually could not think of how to respond. Flabbergasted, he worked his jaw for a moment before he laughed, self-conscious.]
[ Better that you never bring this moment up again, Reno, because Zexion's very likely to deny this part of the conversation ever happened by morning. ]
I just want it to be over with. [ He sighs, ] And then go on another quit stint. Maybe I'll hold out better this time.
[Maybe it was just the drugs making him loopy, Reno thought. Zexion was never so caring. Ever. And if the drugs were making him honest (because that was a possibility, too), then Reno really didn't know how to feel. Flattered? Either way, it was too embarrassing to bring it up another time.]
Ugh, I couldn't blame ya if ya did. [It came out as a groan.] As much as I like sex, I'm really gettin' tired of having anything come outta' my dick. I don't even wanna take a piss, yo.
[As much as the pressure inside was conflicting. What he really wanted was to get everything out forever, but since it never seemed to end...]
[Reno snorted.] Gee, can't imagine why, we're all jus' leakin' all over the damn place.
[As much as he wanted to just keep laying there and not move... Zexion was right, if he got dehydrated severely enough he'd definitely have to go to the hospital then. And he didn't want that.]
Fine, fine. In a minute. Walkin' around just makes 'em feel heavier.
[And like hell was he going to ask Vincent to take care of him. Just embarrassing.]
[Zexion closes his eyes, shakes his head, wishes he could roll over onto his side in the stirrups, because he's thoroughly exhausted at this hour, but it's difficult to sleep on his back with his legs spread and genitals hanging out.
It's difficult to sleep on just one flat pillow, too.]
I'm quite past the point where this is in any way funny, but at least I'm not crazy or the only poor soul this has happened to?
Y'know, like -- like those fruity gelatin dessert cups? They're crappy anyway, but some are crappier than others, like the green one, but the reds are mostly decent...
[He was rambling now.]
But like, I dunno if it's a hospital thing or a surgery thing or both because if yer gonna stock for surgery ya might as well just have jelly desserts...
That's what they give ya so, like, if you vomit it's no big deal, I think.
[He wasn't sure, maybe hospital staff were just sadists and enjoyed giving people crappy gelatin cups to eat. He wouldn't put it past them.]
[Oh fuck, he hoped there wouldn't be surgery necessary. But he was letting his own fears run away with him.]
No -- no, I'm sure yer fine, it's nothin'. I'm just thinkin', like, if they have gelatin on hand anyway, they'd probably just, like, y'know -- give it to you anyway.
Isn't it good for dehydration too? I mean, it's a lotta sugar water in there too... I dunno, fuck it, don't listen t' me.
There's been nothing like that. Don't try to scare me like that!
It's just been water, a saline drip in my arm, and this... barely flavored fruit punch drink, since I've been in here. [ Can you hear the pitiful misery in his voice, Reno? ]
(I wonder if my last hi-Potion would have helped with this at all. Probably not. Even Moogles don't prepare for restoratives to cure oversized balls.)
[Reno heard that. But he actually thought little of it, out of habit.]
Yeah, I don't really think potions do that... Maybe Cure?
Esuna -- if you could get yer hands on it, though. [He scoffed at the chance of that.] Nah man, we're just fated t' fuckin' struggle. An' watery fruit punch "drink" is just icin' on the sadness cake.
[He frowned as he thought. He was still achy himself, but...] Don't s'pose I could sneak ya in somethin' better?
Are you going to get all dolled up in orderly scrubs just for me, sweetheart? [ He teases cattily, and must really be drugs-loopy, because he definitely threw in a term of endearment, which is something Zexion absolutely never resorts to. ]
[Reno sighed, his balls throbbing as if to remind him what sneaking around would net him. Still, he felt weirdly flattered and warm to hear that Zexion actually just liked calling him.]
Yeah? Well... I mean, whatever helps. I ain't goin' anywhere anytime soon.
Genesis wanted me to call if there were any problems... but I didn't really want him getting upset and storming the hospital either, and I could hear it in his voice since I was in the waiting room.
[Genesis... After a moment of discomfort, Reno actually found himself smirking. It was an amusing image.]
Oh yeah. He would. Fuckin' disaster.
[An angry blur shouting nonsense from LOVELESS as nurses screamed and ran, dozens of city guard needed to subdue him. The destruction of trays upon trays of innocent gelatin desserts! Reno snickered, even though the jiggling made his dick dribble.]
I really don't need that kind of a big fuss, particularly when all my tender parts are exposed and I'm strapped down.
[he's a bit mopey, but otherwised unfased about very clinical vulnerability. After subjecting himself to experiments of darkness, after all, he could carefully subdue any outward aversion to being prodded at. Not that taking a numbing, draining needle to his pricked had been at-all fun]
[Once Reno had calmed himself, he sighed in agreement.]
Yeah, that'd be bad all around.
I wish you weren't, y'know, like this though, exposed an' tied down.
No fun at all. [Not that he was in any state to tie down and fuck anyone, but a man could dream of some normalcy -- even if it was just normal in how he might fantasize, we're they not constantly wet and in pain.]

Make sure you're drinking, too- they said almost everyone who's come in with this has been dehydrated...

[He wasn't sure if that was the right word, but it was a relief not to be alone. If only just to commiserate with someone likewise miserable.]
Well, don't let 'em take advantage of you. Or let you get bedsores. Or give you the crappy jelly dessert cup.
Voice
[ He blinks, thinking himself truly disoriented... did Reno just warn him about a jelly dessert?
Can you tell who has minimal modern hospital experience, here? Because here's Zexion, sounding squeamishly anxious.]
Why? Jelly cup? What's that about?

[He was rambling now.]

[He'd never heard any form of endearment from Zexion, nor expected it, and he was getting the irritating sensation that he was being mocked.]
