"No problem. My friends would do the same for me." Junpei nodded to Midas. "As for what happened… I won't ask. I'll get the first aid kit." Junpei went off to his bathroom, soon coming back and applying bandages to Midas' wound lightly. "Sorry if this hurts, I'm not a doctor."
"You're fine, trust me," Midas said, just before wincing slightly. "I'm not exactly used to pain, it's been maybe a thousand and a half years since I've felt anything like this." He added, with a lousy laugh. "You're really sweet for this, I would have thought I'd be shot for game or something."
"So, if you mind me asking…what are you, exactly? I doubt just a tree caused these wounds. And there's no doubt that you have…" wings? Should I even acknowledge them? Junpei, no. Just focus on his health. You can ask questions later. "Nevermind. Do you have somewhere to stay?" Junpei finished applying Neosporin and wrapping up Midas' back.
"Oh. Why I'm an angel. Well, a fallen one, haha. Lord kicked me from the heavens. I once stayed there, but I'm no longer allowed to reside with the others." Midas explained, as simply as he could. Junpei's assistance felt miraculously good, he would have never expected mortal healing to feel the way it did. "How long have you lived here?" Midas added, with a small question.
(I'm going to Florida for the next few weeks, so if I'm inactive, I do apologize. Things have been hectic…)
"Ah, a good two years. Why?" Junpei went to the kitchen. "Do you want something to drink? Sorry I can't help you much any further."
( It's fine! Make sure you have necessity items! )
"You're fine, I think a water would suffice." Midas said. "Oh, I was wondering because the last time I was on Earth, Caesar was getting assassinated and everyone was all torn up about it. I guess times have changed, huh?" Midas informed the other. It'd been a long time since then, and he wasn't going to let anything ruin his comeback.
"Caesar…assassinated? Dude, that was over two-thousand years ago…" Junpei came back with the water, as well as a bottle of Coke Zero for himself, setting them down on the coffee table in front of the couch. He sat gently next to Midas, not wishing to consume a lot of space–after all, it was Midas who was hurt.
"I'm sorry I couldn't offer better treatment." Junpei's face was solemn.
"You're alright, I promise, you're fine." Midas told Junpei. "You know, you remind me a little bit of him. You take charge, even when things seem a little hopeless. I'm very thankful for it." He added, with a slight smile. He opened the water, and drank a whole lot of it. "Wow, this is refreshing," He marveled at the drink.
Junpei chuckled. "Yeah, 21st century water sure is better than water back then, I suppose. I don't take charge, though. I normally go with the flow as far as most things go." Even though he was playing himself down, Junpei smiled at Midas' compliment.
Midas laughed, authentically. "Oh, I guess I'll have to learn that, then. I guess you can't just assume things based off of people anymore, huh?" He said, wondering how true his guess at this reality's workings was.
Junpei smiled, shaking his head. "I wish it were that easy nowadays. I swear, I couldn't tell you how many times I thought someone liked me, when really I was just assuming things. How are you used to things?"
Midas looked a little shocked at what the other person had said, before brushing it off of his mind. "In Heaven, see, everyone is true and sweet. It's easy to guess things up there. People are always obeying righteousness there." Midas told the other, truthfully as he could. He might have been kicked out for a lie, he didn't know.
Junpei blinked. "Everything is that simple? If I hadn't known better, I'd probably kick the bucket now and live there. Alas, I don't think I'd have lived a good, complete life then." He sipped his Coke. "If everyone obeyed the law here, we'd be in a utopia."
