I'M NOT BULLET PROOF| {OPEN}

[jacob w.c.]

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob remembered seeing Killua for the first time after his... incident. He wanted to try to offer more to help the feline but he was afraid that he'd push him away. Jacob wanted Killua to trust him enough to let him help with the injuries but he wasn't sure if they'd ever get to that point. While he'd let him treat the injuries initially, Jacob was pretty sure that was only because he'd been in shock because the younger boy hadn't come to see him ever since that point. He'd just been struggling on his own, probably trying to treat his own wounds. Jacob had thought about offering his services several times but he knew that Killua knew his door was open whenever he wanted it. The simple truth of the matter was that Killua didn't want to see him and didn't want his help. He seemed to be taking good care of his own injuries, based on how much more Jacob had seen him around recently. If he was still feeling terrible, Jacob was pretty sure he wouldn't be walking around so much. Of course, he could be powering through the pain just like Jacob did in regards to his legs but that was different. This would be a new, fresh pain. That was a lot different than a constant aching and occasional bad days. It was something that most people had to rest up whether they wanted to or not. In any case, Jacob had been hoping that the boy would just come to him if he needed anymore major help with his wounds.

However, out on Jacob's walk, it became incredibly obvious that wasn't the case. He happened to spot Killua while he was stitching up his wound, blood dripping all over. Jacob knew that Killua could put in stitches well and he didn't seem to be in too much pain but it seemed more dangerous to put in stitches yourself rather than asking for some help. "Ya' know, if it'd be easier, I could 'elp ya' put those in," the canine offered as he made his way towards Killua. He'd been thinking a lot about the oby's night terrors and about different ways he could help prevent them. "Ya' know, I've been doin' some new stuff for myself since I've had some trouble sleepin'. If ya'd be interested, I could show ya'. I really think it might help. I wasn' sleepin' at all n' I was wakin' up all the time but I've been able ta' sleep for at least a few hours the past couple ah' days now. I know it don' sound like much but it really makes a difference," he suggested. He doubted Killua would let him help with any physical wounds but maybe he could set up the boy with some instructions and resources to use at night. It was all simple enough and Jacob wasn't worried about Killua doing it wrong or something. He clearly had enough medical knowledge to help himself but Jacob hadn't seen anyone use some of his methods before so he supposed it'd be better to offer it up than offer nothing at all.  —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
