It's a skin condition! I swear! [Open]

Holding her with one hand on her shoulder and the other on her waist, Shem helps her steady herself. "What, what is it Indigo?"

"Shem... I haven't got anymore scales!" She looked overjoyed as she jumps and hugs Shem.

Shem turns bright red when Indigo hugs him. Shem hugs her back tightly. Shem even sneaked a kiss on the cheek. "Im glad youre ok Indigo! Dont scare me like that!" Shem closes his eyes and smiles.

Indigo rests her head on Shem's chest. "Oh you're one to talk"

Shem smiles even bigger. "Looks like we need to look after one another for now on..."

TELL HER!
No, I dont want it to be weird
3 words, 8 letters, come on

Indigo hums lightly. "I really hate to ruin the moment... But I'm covered in blood, and it's kinda gross."

Mao brought himself back into the hallway and sighed. I just had to toss her into my room. Damnit. And now Mr. Berserker is in there, too. And, worst of all, there's blood all over floor now. Mao brought himself to the floor, closed his eyes, and looked at the ceiling waiting for this to end.

Shem coming to this realization says, "Oh yeah...well...ew...I guess I should leave so you can get dressed..." Shem walks to the door and turns around, "Indigo....I uh.....I like you...a lot...."

Indigo giggles. "Well that's a relief, and here I thought you hated me!" she jokes. "I've got more clothes in my dorm. What I really need is a towel."

"Just take one of my sheets." Mao was still sitting in the hallway biding his time. "And you don't have to worry about it getting bloody. It's fine."

He walks over up to Indigo and kisses her forehead then points to his labcoat. "You can use that too if you need something to cover up as you get to your own dorm..." He smiles at her and turns to open the door and frowns. Good job, you told her and she giggles...

He faces Indigo again, "Just return it whenever youre done with it." He heads out the door into the hallway. In the hallway he just stands there. "Thanks Ragnarok, I made an idiot of myself."

"Wait, where are you going?" Indigo pulls a sheet from Mao's bed, wrapping it around herself before running out after him. "I'm gonna get cleaned up, how about we get some lunch after?"

Shem smiles, his face lighting up. "Sure!" Shem looked like a middleschooler who just asked his first girl out. "I'll meet you there!"

"Great! Cafeteria in 20 minutes, no later, I promise!" She stands on her toes and pecks him on the lips before scurrying off.

Shem's voice did that cute crack thing it does when he's nervous. "O-ok!" He "floats" out the room and sprints to his own dorm.

They're gone, they're finally gone. Mao watched as the couple made plans before parting ways. He slowly stood up and peeked his head into his room once more. Blood. Scales. He took a step in and looked at the walls. There was a gash in one. Drake, you...you...! Mao growled quietly and clenched his teeth. After a few deep breathes, he calmed down again and assessed the situation once more. Well, the wall is an easy fix. The blood, however, is a bio hazard...but I don't think I'll be able to explain the situation considering I wasn't watching half the time. I guess I'll just clean it myself. Gotta be careful, though. As for the scales... As he moved around the room, the scales glistened. ...Maybe I can actually find some use for them.

Mao found a jar for which every scale was put in once cleaned.
