She rolled her eyes, gesturing to the bed. "Unless that d*ck is going to turn into a gorgeous p****y, there's no point in flirting. Now lay down."
Meanwhile, Michaela had her back turned and refused to look, yet made the mistake of opening her eyes. She was met by the reflection of her naked guardian, and instantly blushed harder than she ever had. 'Oh my GOD! Why...why does he have to look like that?!'

"That's how it usually starts." Alcott said with a click of his tongue and a sly wink. Nevertheless, he headed to the bed and laid down on it, face up with his arms folded behind his head.

"On your stomach, moron. Unless you want your precious ward to see her guardian in the buff," sighed the doctor.
'Too late for that,' thought the young woman who crossed her legs tightly in an effort to ease herself of her most recent 'problem'.

"Fine fine, buzzkill." Alcott grumbled and turned to his stomach, folding his arms under his chin as his tortured wings hesitantly lowered.

She examined the wings, sighing. "Fractures, sprains, bruising, Michaela, you're more wild in bed than I remember."
"I didn't do this!" she protested, gazing at his through the mirror. "And I wasn't that wild...I only broke the headboard once."
"Funny, because I remember you breaking mine six times," she laughed, grabbing a syringe and injecting medication into each of Alcott's wings.

Alcott turned his head towards Michaela and shot her another smirk. He opened his mouth to say something, but a yelp fell out when Ericka touched his wings. "Ah, ah, ah! Take it easy!!" he yelped, wings folding in a bit in reaction but only creating more pain in turn.

"Stop moving," she said calmly, injecting him in between his wings.
"Ericka, stop making me look like a whore," she groaned, crossing her arms beneath her bust and turning to face them, used to seeing his bum by now. Well, enough to not blush too noticeably.
"You aren't a whore...but you are a freak in the sack," she giggled, wiping Alcott's back free of blood.
Michaela set her hand on her forehead, sighing. Why was she friends with people like this??

 

[Its Smiley]

By then Alcott had no cocky comments or vulgar words to use, all that escaped his mouth were yells and cries of pain. He knew his wings were bad, but he didn't at all think they could get this bad. Just the slightest touch sent shocking pain all over his body, and the needle inserted into his back didn't at all help. His body rejected the pain instantly and tried to move away from it to maintain homeostasis, it would've succeeded if Ericka hadn't held him down.

Seeing his expression contort into pain, Michaela immediately "Alcott...it's okay," she said softly, brushing hair from his eyes and setting her cool hands on his shoulders.
She sighed, adding a numbing agent. "You should be fine soon."

 

[Its Smiley]

Alcott looked at her weakly, her cold fingers like an icepack for the burning pain running through his body. He attempted a cocky smile at her but only succeeded in giving her a twitch of his lips before his head fell against the pillow.

"Alcott!" she cried out, her eyes widening in fear.
Ericka picked him up with ease and started to walk away, signalling for Michaela to follow her with a jerk of her head. "He should be awake within the hour. Until then, cool his face and chest with a wet rag and keep his lower half covered. He'll be on his back, and the wings should retract." Pushing herself into the guest bedroom, she lay him on the bed, sighed, and walked out, shaking her head.
Michaela smoothed his hair back, kneeling at his side. Taking a rag, she did as she was told, covering his lower half and working silently.

Demon Alcott murmured inaudible words in his sleep. There was a strong fever breaking out all over his body, the heat was so intense that flames around his body appeared every few seconds. The water that left the rag and touched his body sizzled and evaporated instantly.

Michaela continued to try and cool his body with the rag, gritting her teeth or biting her lip hard whenever the flames  licked her skin. She was undeterred by the pain, focusing completely on helping the man she loved. The burn marks on her wrists meant nothing to to her, although she couldn't help but wince a little at the throbbing. After about an hour, she had used well over ten bowls of water to wet Alcott's skin and was almost done with the eleventh. Her skin on her forearms and wrists were bright pink and charred some from the fire, and they hurt so much, she could barely breathe. "Alcott," she murmured, her eyes watering as yet another flame kissed her injured skin. "Please wake up. Please!"

 

[Its Smiley]

Alcott's eyelids flew back instantly, his eyes empty like a zombie's. As if the flames were terrified of him, the vanished as soon as he awakened, his fever leaving with them. Yet he didn't move. He didn't turn his gaze to Michaela or her burns, he didn't focus on the burned crisps of what was once his bed. He just stared at the ceiling with zombie eyes.
Then his mind shut him back down and closed his eyes.

The girl watched as he "awoke", pushing his hair from his forehead and cringing at the pain of the burns. "Better than nothing, and at least your fever's gone," she murmured, sighing. "What I wouldn't give to have you look at me."
