Health and Healing

Seto watched the blond go about his morning routine, then spread his wings and bounced after him. "You're sure you feel better, right?"

"I told ya I felt like crap. But I'm not gonna make any money lyin' around all day. Besides, it's not like I'm throwin' up anymore. I broke the curse, yeah, but I'm still weak and tired."

"You shouldn't push yourself so hard. You still have to break my curse. –Gwah!" Seto glared at the door that had shut behind the blond and immediately began pecking at it. "Let me out! I'm going with you!"

Joey sighed in annoyance. "It's really hard t' work when people are gawkin' at the fuckin' albino bird I got talkin' at me." He turned to lock the door. "Just sit there until I come back, okay?"

"No! Take me with you! Don't leave me here!" Seto turned and looked around nervously. Someone might take advantage of his tiny, fragile form and kill him before Joey broke the curse. They wouldn't dare if he was near the Curse Breaker, but if he was left alone…

He didn't want to think he was desperate, but he was too afraid of being killed and never seeing his little brother again. "Joey! Joey! If you leave me here alone I'll poop! I'LL SHIT ALL OVER EVERYTHING YOU OWN!"

He wasn't proud of his threat, and he probably wouldn't have carried it out, but he didn't want to be left alone. And, when he heard the key in the lock, he only waited for the door to open enough that he could squeeze out.

Joey gave him a sour look before he locked the door again and continued to the tavern in which he worked. "You're such a pain in the ass."

Ignoring the way he'd so degraded himself, the white raven flapped his wings to gain enough air to close his toes around the human's shoulder. He tucked his wings against his body and closed his eyes. "Hmm."

"You're not stayin' there. I can't just serve customers with a bird on my shoulder."

"I'm not a bird. I'm decoration. Look, I'm not even alive. See?"

Joey glanced at him and couldn't help a snort when he saw that the raven had frozen himself into a pose as if he was about to take off from his shoulder. "No. You're not stayin' on my shoulder."

"How am I supposed to monitor your health if I can't be nearby? You're still healing," Seto complained, narrowing his eyes.

The blond sighed. "I'm perfectly capable of monitorin' my own health."

Seto turned his head away and huffed in a way the human could only describe as snotty. "I'm more qualified at judging a human's health than you are."

"Oh? And why is that?"

"Because I'm very picky about what I eat."

Joey paused, his already pale skin going white. "…Oh."

"…I won't eat you after you break my curse, though," Seto commented, turning his head to preen his wing.

The human grimaced. "Yeah, thanks." He wanted to believe the stupid bird, but the way he'd said it so casually didn't make him feel better.

.-.-.-.-.-.

Seto kept his sharp eyes on the blond even as he took to the sky, enjoying some time to have his feathers ruffled by the winds. It didn't feel as good as the wind on his scales, but it did feel better than just sitting on the blond's shoulder and being carried. He took a moment to do some flips and twirls, then blinked when he realized he'd outpaced the human. He turned to fly back and looked around for him.

He was horrified to find the blond surrounded by three other men. He began flapping wildly, eyes narrowing as he saw two of the men grab the blond's arms and the third punch him in the gut. Cawing angrily, he pressed his wings flat against his body and dove, slamming into one of the men holding his human and pecking and scratching at his eyes.

The other man snarled and slapped him away, and he wheezed helplessly as he hit the side of a tree and flopped to the ground. If he'd been a dragon, though, he would have smirked. The damage had been done and he'd blinded the man he'd dived onto.

The man that had hit Joey advanced on him, looking angry as the other man tried to tend to his friend's bloody face. Seto squawked and tried to scramble away, but his wing shot a pain through him so sharp that he fell, body spasming.

He saw the human's leg draw back and cawed weakly, flinching as he watched the thick boot swinging at him. 'This is not the way a dragon should die!'

The boot had barely grazed him when it was kicked aside, and he watched the man crumple to the ground, confused. "Wha—"

"Don't talk," Joey ordered shortly, gathering the bird into his arms. The raven cawed in pain as his broken wing pressed against his chest. The blond shifted him in his arms and began walking back to his little home, a little faster than he had been. "Wouldn't want 'em t' realize you're not just a bird. They'd do terrible things t' ya if they knew ya were actually a dragon."

Seto nodded and kept his beak firmly shut.

.-.-.-.-.-.

"Here. You okay now?"

Seto looked at his splinted wing and, if he'd had lips, he would have pursed them. "Well, it doesn't hurt." He shifted his wing and blinked. "Not at all, even when I move it." He looked up at the human sternly. "What magic have you used upon me, you little—"

Joey grabbed his beak firmly but not hard enough to hurt him, rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Did it ever occur t' ya that I'm just very good at setting broken bones?" He released the raven's beak and huffed. "Jeez, ya already said the only magic of mine ya want is your curse broken, anyway, and I promised."

Seto paused, then spread his wings and hopped over to the bed. "You should sleep."

"You're not even gonna apologize t' me?" the blond asked, scowling. When the white raven merely tilted its head and blinked at him, as if he didn't understand the words, he sighed and turned away. "Whatever. I'm gonna go pick some herbs before it gets too dark."

"You'll regain your energy faster if you sleep more," the raven replied, turning to look back at him.

Joey scowled. "That's all I am t' ya, huh? I'm just a way t' break your fuckin' curse. Well, fuck you too!"

Seto blinked as the blond stormed out, then tilted his head, frowning. "…I said energy, not magic," he muttered, then hopped over to perch on the headboard. He'd wait patiently for Joey to return and explain that he had been worried for the blond's health, not his ability to break curses.
