[Closed RP, Hiei/Kaga] Cowardice

[gourmetchairman.livejournal.com]

[[Takes place after this]]

It was cowardly. Kaga knew this as he sat in the Gryffindor common room. He shouldn't have just left the class after Professor Wednesday pulled out the handcuffs.

But he couldn't stay.

Just looking at them made him anxious, he didn't even want to think about how he'd react with them on. Not well, he knew that much. HOW not well, he didn't know.

It was still cowardly, though. And that class would have actually been beneficial.

He just couldn't let himself be bound again.

Hiei glared at the handcuffs for a few moments more, willing them to drop off of his wrist. Decades of trust issues and depending only on himself, however, kept the handcuffs firmly clasped.

With a grunt, he reached over and tugged the cuff of his wrist. It took little effort and he was free, but now the cuffs were broken. And he was apparently terrible at runes.

"Hm," he frowned. "I need to get a new pair before you can practice again." This was about Kaga, after all.

Kaga nodded weakly. He did need to do this, no matter how sick it made him. "Hang on." He pulled out his wand. He said a quick spell to fix them.

Then, sighing and setting down his wand, he held his hands out again.

Hiei kept forgetting they could use spells to fix things. Magic was strange.

He opened the repaired handcuffs and placed them around Kaga's wrists. There was no hesitation before snapping them shut, but Hiei wasn't realaxed. Kaga freaked out a bit the first time and it was likely it would happen again.

Hiei took a step back, giving Kaga some space, and watched closely.

Kaga tried not to freak out. He really was.

But he was remembering how Karasu handcuffed him and then betrayed him. He tugged on the cuffs a bit.

Then he thought of how if he had been able to get free, he could have attacked Karasu. And oh, how much he would LOVE to get revenge on Karasu.

Glaring at the wall, he managed to use the wards to free himself. He promptly took the cuffs and threw them at his mind's image of Karasu at the wall, snapping out of it when they clattered.

"I...I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me."

Hiei, on the other hand, knew exactly what had come over him and smirked as Kaga chucked the handcuffs at the wall. He probably shouldn't point out that attacking Karasu was practically suicide for a human...Kaga didn't need to hear that. Not now, anyway. So in an infrequent gesture of understanding, Hiei kept his snarky mouth shut.

"Good," He grunted as he went to pick up the handcuffs. Kaga didn't need to do any more practice today.

"I..." Kaga hesitated, before smiling. "Thank you." He reached for his gloves, he had had enough anyway.
