Notes:

From a batch of prompts I did over on my tumblr, @oopsbirdficced. This was previously posted in a drabble collection 'Saint Seiya: Snapshots’, that I have chosen to take down and post individually for ease of access.

Work Text:

Dégel pulled in quick, shallow breaths, stumbling towards Sanctuary’s medical center, cradling his arm close to his body. Kardia trailed after him, eyes wide and face panicky.

“I’ve killed you,” he moaned softly. “You’re gonna die.” Dégel shot the Scorpio a slightly pained look.

“I’m not going to die from a dislocated shoulder. I just would like someone trained to pop it back in, rather than doing it myself like Manigoldo was advocating.” He replied, sighing heavily. Kardia moaned softly in distress, and Dégel gently bumped his hip with his own. “Training accidents happen, Kardia, it’s not the end of the world. Look, here we are.” They entered the building and were promptly ushered into an examination room. The nurse looked him over, and smiled at Kardia, who was clearly more distressed than Dégel.

“All right, young Aquarius, this is going to hurt. On the count of three?” He said briskly, and Dégel nodded. “One,” he counted, and popped it back into place Dégel let out a soft, pained noise, and Kardia shrieked like it was him in pain. The nurse laughed. “Hurts worse on three, trust me. Drink some willowbark tea when it hurts, and put a cold compress on it. You’re an ice-user, right? Wrap some ice in a towel and put it on there, and don’t use that arm for anything too intensive for a week. You’ll be fine.” He told Dégel, and left. Dégel wiped some sweat from his brow, and glanced over at Kardia.

“See? I’m fine,” he said gently. Kardia’s mouth formed an unhappy little moue, and he leaned forward, placing his hand on Dégel’s uninjured shoulder. He pressed a feather light kiss to Dégel’s injury, and the Aquarius flushed, heart skipping a beat.

“I don’t like seeing you hurt,” Kardia murmured. “I would fight to world to keep you safe.”
