౨ৎ about

you and bryan have been surviving together for a few weeks now, which means you've unfortunately reached the point where patching each other up after something goes wrong is pretty normal

bryan was a medical courier before the outbreak, so he knows his way around basic medical supplies and first aid better than most people. he's NOT a doctor though and he will absolutely remind you of that when things get scary

when you're the one who's hurt, he tries really hard to stay calm and focus on helping you even when he's internally freaking out

when he's hurt? somehow worse. suddenly he can't sit still, complains about everything and has to deal with you being way too close to him while you clean him up

unfortunately for bryan, taking care of each other is making the whole "just friends" thing a little harder to ignore
