Drashi's eyes narrowed in fear but he masked the responce as quickly as it appeared, forcing a smile on his face. "Shhhh.... shhhhhh....." He cooed, "Think about the fair, tell me about it. What do you remember? What about the smells?" He knew it was hurting, and even to this day it was the worst physical pain in the world that Drashi had ever experienced. "So, your uncle? What is he like?"
This was all he could do. He couldn't take the pain away from Connor, couldn't pretend it wouldn't hurt at all, couldn't try and tell him a lie or two to make him feel better.... no, distraction seemed to be his only option. If only he had been a creature of ice? That could have come in handy about now.

Connor didn't see the fear on the other's face the boy's eyes were blurry from the tears that built there from the pain. Connor nodded when the man told him to focus on the fair. "There were lots of people which scared me..." Connor said breathing harshly. "It smelled alot like cooked dough, but it was great because I got to ride the Ferris wheel." Connor said.
"My uncle took care of me and protected me from other people that wanted to take advantage of me. He was the only one that seemed to understand." Connor spoke wincing once more and giving a sharp cry of pain. Hands wrapped tightly in the sheet as he arched again. Yelling in pain one wing burst from his back.

Drashi tried not to look at Connor's back too much, not wanting to see what was happening and being foreced to rmemebr when he had been the one lying there in pain and agony... waiting, not knowing anything. "Your uncle sounds nice." He said, wiping down Connor's brow as he arched his back again. "I've never been to a fair." He said softly, hoping that just talking would help... though he suspected the worst was still to come and would come soon!
"If you like the ferris wheel though... I am sure you will love flying." His expression was set into a soft smile but inside he felt the tide of his emotions churning and tossing as deadly as the Ocean under the full moon. "It's nice that someone protected you as a kid." Drashi had had that once... then everything had shattered around him. He could still remember the exact moment when hopelessness had settled, when his life had been destroyed.... and although he missed his parents like crazy it was his sister he missed the most.

Connor could hear the words of the other as he dealt with the pain of his one wing coming through but he couldn't process what was being said. The thought of Drashi next to him, there making sure he was alright comforted him.
Ears ringing from the pain he knew something was wrong his right wing was stuck not coming out like the other. Giving a whimper he tried to reach a hand up to press at his back. "Its...s-stuck..." he gasped out his whole body trembling.

Drashi saw movement in the corner of his eye as something freed itself from Connors back, he didn't look though, kept his focus completely on his friend. It wasn't until Connor's strangled cry came that he looked at the wings, concern furrowed his brow... how could it be stuck? He didn't know what to do, and in that moment his mind floated with a thousand options and results... no were pretty.
He growled again, at himself, as it batted Connor's hand away. He jumped off the bed and quickly pounced over it so he could see the boys back in more detail. It did indeed seem as if it was stuck..... how? He didn't know, what he did know was he had to fix it. There was no one else here, yet even as he thought it he knew it went against his nature to cause pain for no reason.... of course this was the only way to help; he reminded himself, the only way to ensure Connor survived. Pain now for life.... that wasn't so bad was it?
He didn't say anything, gave no warning as he took his dragon winged pendant from his neck and used the tip as a dagger. He only hesitated for a moment before he pushed it into flesh and dragged it downwards. Not allowing himself timeto think he dropped his necklace and put his hands to Connor's bad so he could help guide the wing out.... very different to his own.
Drashi was so busy that he never noticed Connors blood run up his pendant until it touched the blue core of his pendant.... the moment they touched Drashi screamed in agony and start to curl up in agony on the ground.

Connor whimpered as his own hand was batted away from his back but he knew Drashi was taking control of this. Connor felt Drashi move and whimpered again for the loss and soon found the man on the other side. He couldn't see what the man was doing and he didn't want to know he just knew something would be done even if it hurt like hell.
Hurt like hell it did as he felt something sharp plunge into his back and drag down slicing him open. He screamed probably loud enough to wake the rest of the people on the dorm floor and maybe those floor above and below them. The wings slowly allowed itself to be guided out and soon both wings were out spread as far as they could be. Connor's wings were dark in color and covered in blood, they resembled much like a bats but had the feel of soft leather. They were small in size though, maybe not enough to use to fly.
Connor was breathing heavily and his pain had lessened a bit when he heard Drashi scream in agony. "DRASHI!!" Connor yelled in panic and moved as quick as he could to the edge of the bed despite pain. He reached a hand out to the other wanting to help.

Pain. His head thundered. His heart raced. His body arched and shivered. The worst of it was that he didn't understand what was happening... punishment fortrying to help perhaps? After all the scream that had been ripped from Connor was enough to shake and shatter the soul.
As suddenly as the pain arrived it vanished, leaving Drashi a sweaty, shivering wrech on the floor.
His eyes clouded, andwhen things finally did fix themselves everthing appeared in different shades of red. He rubbed his eyes, the movement dragging a slow moan from his lips. What Drashi couldn't see was that his eyes were now red rather than there usual striking blue. "My... eyes...." He managed to get out, his throat dry and tender.

Connor felt more panic as he saw the other shivering on the floor. He felt like it was his fault some way. When Drashi seemed to not be in pain anymore Connor went to apologize until he saw the other's eyes. The striking blue color he loved was gone replaced by the color of blood. "They're red..." Connor spoke softly terribly confused. "I'm sorry..." he spoke feeling ready to cry. He had caused this to the other by asking him to stay and help. The having him help when his wing had stuck.

Red? Why... how? That didn't make sence, yet before he could even try to think about it he heard Connor speak. Dragging himself off the floor he went to Connor and did his best to place a hand on either side of his face, "Not. Your. Fault." He said through gritted teeth as the pain of moving struck him.
He tried to smile but he was sure it looked more like a grimance so he stopped trying. In an effort to change the subject he looked to Connor's wing. "They are small." He said it matter-of-factly. Probably explain why one got stuck.... not strong enough to support flight.

Connor didn't believe the other as the man said it wasn't his fault. He leaned into the hands on his face knowing the other was probably in as much pain as he was. He saw the other try to smile and make it better but all the boy saw was the pain and he felt worse.
"Small...will I be able to fly?" he questioned looking over his shoulder at his own wings. They did appear small, smaller than Drashi's and the other incubi's.

Drashi felt his head hurt again, and tore his hands off Connor for a moment simply so he hold his own head. GAH! This was a pain! How would he explain red eyes? It was bad enough that his blue seemed unnatural... but at least blue could be explained... red? Impossible.
Trying to distract himself from his pounding headache he spoke again through gritted teeth. "No idea. Will have to try." He felt harsh being so blunt with Connor, and understood his pain and dread more than most would... still he couldn't help himself through the pain he was experiencing. Son of a.....!

Connor frowned as he saw Drashi hold his head in pain. He nodded when the other said he didn't know if he could fly and that he would have to try. He was distracted from those thoughts quickly when he knew Drashi was experiencing more pain. "I'll see if I can find some pain killers for you." Connor said moving to get up off the bed. He bit back his own pain and moved towards the bathroom.
He found it strange that the heat of the pain was gone now and with it, it seemed to have taken all the rest of his body heat with it. Worse was he could feel blood still run down his back.

As Connor got up and walked away Drashi felt the urge to grab him and drag him into his lap... if he wasn't hold his head he may have. And so he saw on his knees, in pain, at the side of his bed waiting for something to change in his current 'status'.
Drashi didn't wait too long before his headache seemed to disperse to a mild thump, and when he opened his eyes again it seemed the world was normal again.
Relief washed over him and he allowed himself to fall backwards from the shock of it all. A small smile was on his face as he looked up at the ceiling... he could live with red eyes if the rest of the world wasn't red too. Right now he almost felt normal.

Connor made it to the bathroom where they kept their necessities and medicine. He had held onto the counter when he felt week for a moment. Looking in the mirror he knew he looked like crap but he didn't care. Grabbing the medicine and a glass of water he moved back into the room where he saw Drashi on the ground. Thinking the worst he dropped everything and ran to the other collapsing next to him. "Drashi..." Connor gasped in his panic until he saw the smile on the other's face.
His body trembled and he gave a soft sob of relief. It had been so much like when his uncle had died. He had freaked out thinking he was losing yet someone else he loved.

Drashi turned his head to look at Connor, and at the concern on his face he couldn't stop himself from bringing a hand up to his face as he spoke, "Don't worry. I'm ok." Although Drashi didn't know it his eyes were blue again. "How do you feel?" As always with Drashi when he cared about someone he put their needs before his own. A fatal flaw at times he supposed.
With a small smile he spoke again, "So.... turn around, let me see them properly."
