new day new problems

Who: Ruca Milda and you
Where: District 1 and later building #1
When: starting in the afternoon
Summary: Ruca is feeling cold. Somebody help him
Warnings: nothing

Ruca could be seen returning to the apartment building with a few books in his hands. He was glancing at them every once in a while with a smile on his face. The fact that he could read as much as he wanted was definitely a good thing about this entire situation. One of a very few good things actually. Yet it wasn't enough to make Ruca forget that shouldn’t even be here nor it would help the boy to cure his homesickness.

When Ruca was close to the building out of the sudden he felt strangely cold. At first he tried to ignore the feeling, but before he noticed he was shivering almost as if he was going to freeze any moment now. He looked around trying to find a cause of this sudden change in temperature but it seemed as if he was the only one feeling the cold.

“What's... going on?” he muttered under his breath to no one in particular. Still shivering he quickened his pace and headed back into the building to find something to warm himself up with. Did he get sick? But wasn't that too sudden?



Later on the boy could be found in the common area on the first floor (having no strength to get to his own room) sitting on a couch in the far corner of the room and covered with seemingly every blanket he managed to find. Ruca stared at his palm for a moment then a crimson flame flickered on it suddenly. The flame vanished quickly as Ruca let a disappointed sigh.

It seemed that even his own fire magic wasn't able to help him.

Oh, man. Badou wasn't expecting reciprocation at first, but once Ruca is all wrapped up around him, any surprise deflates. His arms come around the boy more comfortably, pressing him close and leaning his head to look down at his mess of hair. Badou smells like cigarettes; the kid really doesn't mind?

"You're telling me," he says softly. "But hey, if it ever happens again, you know who to come to, right?"
gingerzippo: (or will you flip flop the day)

you're fine! c:

"Hey," Badou presses a hand over Ruca's hair, ruffling it a bit beneath his fingers with a smile, "you're helping me right now, aren't you? I was gonna be a walking hot iron at some point, and you saved me for the next day, at least. Don't worry about it.

"Did you get any sleep last night, by the way? A friend of mine couldn't when this event hit her. It was brutal."
gingerzippo: (sweater game nope nope)

"Good." Badou pats Ruca's back lightly. "Growing guys need their sleep."

He arches a brow, a parallel to the lopsided curve of his smile.

"Well, yeah," he says. "Why wouldn't you be? Do I look like a guy that would lie to you?"

(The answer is yes. But that's beside the point.)
gingerzippo: (nobody knows what the future holds)

it's okay!!

"Who told you that?" Badou frowns, leaning back to give Ruca a little space to breathe and speak, but keeping his arms linked around him. "You're probably helping out a lot more people than you know, Ruca."
gingerzippo: (now they can't tell me nothing)

<3!

"I do say so!" He ruffles Ruca's hair a bit. "But hey, if someone's making you feel that way, I'll talk to 'em, alright? If not, I'll just try and help you change your attitude a little. You're a good kid. You should know that."
gingerzippo: (and we did it our way)

"Bad things like what, kiddo?"

Dropping a book on someone's foot? Taking a penny off the ground?
gingerzippo: (as the cold wind calls for me)

Badou doesn't say the first things that might come to mind: You? Never. Quit joking around. But Ruca couldn't be lying.

He straightens his posture and asks carefully, "What happened?"
