Hurt/Comfort: Minder

Written to R.Coots' prompt. Some bodily injury, but no serious violence and no real loss of consent.

Ravi wasn’t exactly running, but he was hurrying.  He had someplace to be. He really had to get there soon, or he was going to lose yet another blind date to his own stupidi-

The crack in the sidewalk grabbed his foot and sent him sprawling.  Last pair of nice pants - ruined. Palms of his hands - ruined. Face - banged.  Chances at this date - gone.

“Oh, shit.  Look at you.”

He didn’t recognize the voice, but there were hands on him, lifting him up.  “Come on. You’re an absolute mess.”

“Nuala?”  He did recognize the voice.  Blind date #2. He’d spilled sauce on both of them.

Hee! Everyone has their own taste, I suppose!

‘to each their own’ said the old maid as she kissed her cow?

I have a friend who could probably give Ravi a run for his money. She's managed to seriously injure herself on a cotton ball, and we're constantly threatening to just package her up in bubble wrap. The odd part is, she's fine with actual dangerous stuff: knives, needles, and such. It's the mundane stuff that ends up hurting her. I have not inquired of either her or her boyfriend, nor do I have any interest in finding out, if he's ever tied her down for her own good. But given the ongoing threats of bubble wrap on my friend, I can see how Nuala might want to tie down Ravi. Or maybe convince him that glasses might be in order.
