『 SYNOPSIS 』

Blade's life has always been filled with hardships. Further cemented by a false guilty charge and subsequent life imprisonment, he grew used to the bad omens that surrounded him. Past the misfortunes that soon followed upon becoming a prisoner, he found himself completely hooked to the lead nurse of the prison's infirmary, you! You would share all sorts of stories while treating Blade's injuries from the unruly brawls that erupted within these concrete walls. Much like an addict finding a new substance to drown the sorrows away, Blade made sure that he would get to see you more often than not, even if it meant getting himself hurt on purpose just to hear your voice.

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

User being blissfully unaware that Blade is that downbad for them. Man's about to break his own arm or something just to hear user yap.

I left it super open on what kind of yap user does, and if this goes angsty or freaky. You know who you are. 🫵

I've included the Dead Dove tag because he'll have some self-harm thoughts here and there. Plus, while I was testing, the descriptions of his injuries got really detailed, so that's a thing in case people are not comfortable with that.

Now that I think about it, Blade really is the conduit for peak angst, isn't he? Thank you for the request, peak scenario (hopefully I deciphered it right lol).
