[July 28] [Yu-Gi-Oh! GX] This Ain't Gotham
Title: This Ain't Gotham
Day/Theme: July 28 - arguing with the insane
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh GX
Characters: Edo Phoenix, Marufuji Ryo
Rating: G
Because I've always been a bit saddened by the fact that Edo's bizarre crimefighting antics disappeared after episode 58.
--------------
"Why do I get the feeling that you didn't think this through. Not even a little bit."
Edo pauses in rifling through Ryo's medicine cabinet long enough to aim a sneer in Ryo's direction. "A little sympathy here? I am bleeding all over your bathroom, after all."
"You're bleeding all over my bathroom because you're a goddamn idiot," Ryo retorts, his tone not in the least bit sympathetic despite Edo's cajoling. Although he does carefully move Edo aside to retrieve the gauze the younger man had been looking for. "All right. Take off your shirt and let's see the damage."
"I can take care of it myself. In fact, I came here because I figured you, of all people, wouldn't fuss. Just put the gauze down, give me some privacy, and I'll be fine."
Ryo snorts, his eyes narrowing slightly as he takes in how pale and drawn Edo is. Bruised and dirt-smudged and keeping one hand tightly clamped down on his left shoulder. "Edo, that cut in your shirt goes around to your back. Presuming that the cut in your skin lines up with it, how the hell are you going to take care of it yourself. One handed no less."
Edo makes a face but ultimately relents, gingerly worming his way out of the black turtleneck he'd been wearing (making the slightest noises of discomfort with every movement) and Ryo glances away to hide the expression of concern that he knows he's wearing. Deciding that it's safer to stay pissed off and asking, "So just what, pray tell, was our little vigilante up to this time? Or do I want to know?"
"I ran across a few Ghouls peddling fakes," Edo mutters, turning his back to Ryo and letting the other man clean the long, shallow, cut curving across his shoulder. "I thought.... I don't know what I thought. I just... did. You know?"
"Yea, and you've got to quit 'doing'. This is the third time in about as many weeks. This isn't Gotham and you sure as hell aren't Batman, Phoenix."
"Of course not." Edo craning his neck to aim a wry grin in Ryo's direction. "I'm Destiny."
"You're an idiot who's lost what few marbles you had."
"And with that attitude I know someone who's not going to be a sidekick."
