Bedside Manner


Featuring: Haku (ipann) and Yossarian (pavrzlove)


It had taken Yossarian almost a moon to work up the nerve to go to Light Tribe and ask about it. Until recently, he hadn't dared to hope he could ever fix his mangled body. But after hearing rumors of the Light Tribe power that could fix the unfixable, the Pink-Void had finally relented. He was about to leave for Light Tribe when Haku approached them. Yossarian spoke urgently to his denmate, his voice filled with excitement. It didn't take long for Haku to come to a decision himself, and after a few more anxiously shared words, the one-eyed pair set out.
When the duo reached their destination they were greeted by the gruff looking deputy who demanded to hear their reasons for traveling this far. Yossarian, his hear hammering in his chest, quickly explained, hoping against hope that he hadn't trekked all this way for nothing. When he was done speaking, the Yellow-Light fell silent, his green eyes narrowed with thought. Gesturing for them to follow, the deputy headed over to one of the healing dens, instructing the Void Tribe toms to wait inside. Yossarian and Haku settled down among the moss and leaves, too nervous to speak to one another but offering comfort through fleeting glances. A few long moments later, the Yellow-Light returned, this time with a smaller Pink-Light. Yossarian blinked in surprise, shocked to find out another albino resided in Nandryx besides himself. The deputy- who called himself Rookson - explained that only he and his soulbond- the Pink-Light - had the ability Yossarian and Haku sought, and that they could indeed help. At the dark tom's words, Yossarian felt tears starting to burn at the edge of his vision, joy flowering in his chest and making his whole body buzz with elation.
"Who's first?"
Jarred back into reality by Rookson's rough voice, Yossarian glanced at Haku, who nodded at him with enthusiasm. Shakily the Pink-Void stepped forwards, blinded by light as the healer pair activated their tattoos. Before Yossarian could even catch his breath the two toms set to work, gently nosing each of Yossarian's scars. The scars grew warmer and warmer until they each faded, one by one, until the scholar's snow white fur was clear of any flaws. The side of his face that had been ravaged by the badger suddenly burst with heat, causing Yossarian to gasp and dig his claws into the soft ground. The heat mounted until his blind side suddenly burst in a brilliant flash of light, sending waves of shock through Yossarian's scrawny frame. Seconds passed, and then minutes, until finally the light subsided. Slowly, Yossarian opened his right eye, expecting to see only darkness like he usually did on the rare occasions he exposed his empty socket. But instead of darkness, he was greeted with the sight of Rook and Baldr's expectant faces. Paralyzed with shock, Yossarian blinked rapidly the next few seconds, almost unable to believe this was even real. Acutely aware of the tears that now flowed from both his eyes, the albino scholar crumpled before the two healers, his whole body shaking.

"Thank you.."

Surely this wasn’t real. There were countless hours, days, months that those scars have caused the tom such pain, physically and mentally. He was ugly, hideous, a monster, but the more he hung around Yoss and Sanguis, the more Haku was learning to accept himself for who he was. After all, he thought Yoss was beautiful. The tom’s scars and missing eye reflected his own but they somehow gave Yossarian a beauty that was indescribable. The light that seemed to glitter off of the albino tom filled Haku’s heart with wonder and fear. What felt like an eternity had only been a minute or two before Yossarian began to cry and found himself on the earthy floor, breathing heavily and shaking. Haku came to his side to comfort him, but the Yellow-Light and the Pink-Light took a step forward, turning their attention from Yoss to him. Haku felt the sudden panic set in. He wanted this, he knew he did. He hated the missing eye he had, the scars that were left in the place of where his symmetrical eye once gleamed with emotion and happy memories.
Rookson turned to the tom and gestured to him a question, though it sounded like they were under water.

”Are you ready?” he asked gruffly again, since the dumbfounded tom stared with no response when Rook had asked the first time. Baldr’s face shone with understanding and sympathy, as though understanding that Haku was nervous and to be completely honest, scared out of his wits.
Haku couldn’t manage a word and nodded. Rookson obviously wanting to get this over with, pressed his nose to Haku’s eye and the tom felt a tickle on his ugly missing eye. The tickle started off small and then grew warm like warm steam. It seemed to trickle into his eye socket, filling him with hot water. A light began to grow inside him, blinding both his eyes and forcing him to close them. He crumbled to the ground, afraid that this strange warmth and strange pain on his eye wasn’t normal. When Haku blinked, he saw nothing in his missing eye. He was confused, did it not work? After a few blinks, something strange seemed to appear in his once gaping hole. When Haku sat up, his scars had healed, and a regenerated eye, a replica of the one that had been gouged out of his face by a fox all that time ago was now… back. Seeing everything with two eyes was… strange. It made him feel dizzy and disoriented. He closed the eye for a minute, trying to regain his balance before looking at Yoss who was standing behind him. Haku felt his chest heave in a painful manner as he saw the now flawless Yossarian before him. The fluffy tom felt his own eyes water, and he lifted his paw, pressing it to the cheek that was once littered with scars and scratches from a badger. Yossarian smiled and pressed into the touch of the paw on his now clear cheek. With tears flooding out of his own eyes, the small fluffy tom smiled and managed only a single word.

”Beautiful…”
