Advanced Flogging

It's an early evening, back in the club. Barma has sent Al on his own, to make friends, to try something new.

Dodo is a breath away.

Al coughs it up, wheezing and sagging in the restraints, his face streaked with it all. He tries to get his bearings and is unable to. Even with his air back, he's not all there.
al_truism: (Altruistic)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-10 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
He crawls to him, shaky, in need of contact.
al_truism: (Bad decisions)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-10 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He relaxes somewhat with the touches, the sound of his voice.
al_truism: (Smile and look away)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Al cuddles into him, though he's hiding the mess this made of his face. When he does catch sight of Barma, he reaches out for him, even if his throat is too raw to try to talk.
al_truism: (My steel mask)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
He's a mess, drenched and sticky and sugary, still reeling and remembered to breathe. Everything hurts.
al_truism: (Calm Smile)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Ru," he whispers back, a bit raspy from all the coughing, and smiles for him.
al_truism: (A softer side of me)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Sticky. Hurts."

But he's smiling.

"Yes, please." This is going to be a hard crash.
al_truism: (Probably not)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Al touches Gerard's arm, giving him a smile. He's okay.

He's still shivering with the aftershocks, all the way home. That had been intense.
al_truism: (Calm Smile)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Al melts under the attention, leaning into him and calming down completely. Barma is always a complete comfort to him.
al_truism: (Sunflowers)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you know what he did?" Al murmurs. There's a lovely dark bruise flowering on his shoulder.
al_truism: (Take to Wing)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Flogging, first- and then he hit me." Al shivers. "With his fist, I think- he said he was hitting me as hard as he could."

Al leans against him. "The- waterboarding was new. We've never done that. He used my hair to hold my head back and I think I started choking."
al_truism: ('Cause I'm yours)

[personal profile] al_truism 2012-07-11 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know if I breathed it-" he probably didn't. Or if he did there wasn't enough to hurt him. "I don't think so... but he turned me upside down. I think he used soda next."
