voidtreckernet | Video: Ice Bucket Challenge x2

[Once again the teenage boy stands in front of the screen, clearly within one of the showers, there is a bucket at his feet. Once again he's shirtless, his braid down his back this time. Instead of a smile there is a cold look in the boys eyes, no emotion on his face as he looks into the camera. He tilts his head and when he does smile, there is very little feeling behind it.]

Cheater and a coward. That's what I was called for... well. I don't suppose it matters, eh? This is what everyone wanted.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Time for take two.

[Duo bends forward and takes the bucket in both of his hands and lifts it as if it weighs nothing at all. Up over his head it goes... he upends it... and in seconds he is soaked in a bucket of ice water that is clearly more ice than water. For a few seconds he is still and then a near painful shudder rocks his whole body before he drops the bucket behind him and steps out of the shower.

He pauses before reaching out to turn off the feed.]

You'll get your three bears.

[The feed ends.]

[ooc: The shower Duo was in will be locked for at least 24 hours after this! ^^ He's done the challenge so everyone should be happy now~ Yes? Duo is a good boy again?]

[Even though Duo said that, Trowa didn't believe it. He had been the one to start this mess for Duo.]

Is the cocoa helping?

[Duo made himself nod and tried his best to hold himself still and force back the shivers]

Yeah, yeah it's helpin... Should be good now, buddy. Think ya can go now, I'll be alright. I'll jus go lie down or somethin.

[Trowa pulled back slowly and stood, offering Duo a hand up.]

Here, brought you a hoodie to put on. It's dry, which should help.

[Hides a wince since his bluff was called. Now he didn't have a choice. But the hoodie sounded good.

Duo set down the cup and reached for Trowas hand.]

You know you don't gotta do this...

[He knew standing was going to suck after sitting in the cold for so long. His cargos were soaked through right down to his underwear which was a whole other level of suck Duo didn't want to think about]

I know. But you're my friend. I take care of my friends, you know this.

[Duo just shook his head and pulled himself up to his feet. It hurt. But other than a soft kiss and a need to lean against the wall behind him, he managed to keep himself on his feet despite that.]

Y-yeah... yeah I know, man. I know. And thanks.

[The shock of pain actually helped, it gave Duo the jolt he needed to get his brain engaged again]

Of course. Need me to take the mug so you can put the hoodie on?

[He gestured to the mug on the ground and held his hand out for the hoodie, smiling lopsidedly.]

I'm good, Tro. Just hand over the hoodie please. I'm damn cold...

[Trowa hands him the hoodie and then picks up the mug.]

You should go put on dry pants, though. I can't imagine you're very comfortable.

[Carefully, slowly, he eased his arms into the hoodie and pulled the edges closed across his chest. It was warm... He shuddered and took a deep breath to hold back his shivers.]

Yeah... They kinda suck. I think my whole lower half is just one big wrinkle now.

[Trowa manages a soft chuckle.]

Want me to walk you back to your cabin?

[Duo looks seriously embarrassed and is desperately trying to hide it.]

... Would you mind? I... think my legs fell asleep...

Not at all, thats why i offered. Do you want to just lean on me or should i carry you on my back?

Tro... seriously?

[It was bad enough he was asking for help after doing this to himself, he wasn't sure he could survive the embarrassment of being carried on his friends back like a child.

So he reached out and just grabbed hold of one of his arms, he stumbled a bit but soon found his balance.]

This is fine...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to embarrass you or anything...

[Trowa felt sheepish, but led Duo slowly out of the stall.]

What car are you in, again?

A4...

[Duo felt bad for making Trowa feel bad, but it couldn't be helped.

He clung to the other teens arm and walked with him. His steps were unsteady and for a short while he leaned heavily against Trowa's side. But as they walked and he loosened up, he was able to hold himself up more easily.]

[Trowa was more than happy to lead the way to Duo's cabin, thankful it wasn't far from the dressing carriage. When they get to the cabin, he turns to look at his friend.] Is there anything else I can do to help?

[He was quiet up until they reached his cabin. Then when Trowa asked his question... Duo damn well blushed.]

I think I can change my pants on my own...

But thanks. For getting me here. You're a good friend, Tro.

I know you can. I was more wondering if you need another cocoa. [Trowa is smiling a bit as he holds up the mug in his free hand.]

Oh...

[Well now his cheeks were very red. He took the mug and held it close to his chest.]

I'm good with this, thanks. I... should be good now. Thanks again, Trowa.

[When he reached into his back pocket for his ticket, he was amused to find it was undamaged. He used it to get his door open.]

I'll come find you tomorrow, okay?

[Trowa gave Duo's shoulder a reassuring squeeze before pulling back.]

Get some rest. We'll find each other tomorrow.

[Smiles gently and nods.]

'Night, Trowa. And... thanks again.

[Duo slips into the room and lets the door close behind him before he quietly busies himself with getting the wet clothes off and crawling into his bunk]

{Shall we consider this done?}

[ooc: I think so! ^^ That's a wrap!]
