    "I don't like other people taking care of me," Angel muttered.

    Claire sighed sadly. "That day wasn't your fault."

    "Don't talk about it like you were there." Angel said.

    "Too bad, I'll take care of you. Seeing as how you need it..." Advent trailed off before kneeling down next to Angel. "Honestly...you can't deny that you get yourself into a lot of trouble and need help."

    "I do get into a lot of trouble," Angel agreed.

    Claire went over to the sink and wrung the blood out of the washcloth.

    "But I don't need help," Angel finished.

    Claire came back, wondering why Angel didn't just spit out the reason.

    "You need help." Advent said, shaking a little as he held back more laughter. "Sometimes you're a bit of a damsel in distress." He added, grinning.

    "Am not!" Angel protested.

    "Hold still!" Claire ordered. "If you keep moving I'll end up making zig-zags instead of proper stitches."

    "Yeah, princess." Advent teased, taking hold of Angel's hand and jokingly kissing the back of it. "I've never met a girl who could get into so much trouble and still say she doesn't need help."

    Angel's expression turned downward in a pout, but then changed to pain as Claire began to stitch up her head.

    "Sorry," Claire apologized. "I don't have anything to numb you up."

    "It's fine," Angel said through grit teeth. "It doesn't hurt."

    Advent shook his head and let out a somewhat frustrated sigh. "Why don't you admit anything? If it hurts, say it. Unless you want me to look into your mind everytime I think you're lying..."

    "No," Angel growled. "I'm not lying. Nothing hurts. Since that day, every pain is a pinprick. I could never hurt as much as I did that day."

    She'll never let it go... Claire thought sadly, pulling the needle and string. She'll always blame herself...

    "What day?" Advent inquired, leaning in closer. She's more stubborn than I am! And that's saying something! "I bet you're lying too..."

    "My father's death," Angel answered, now distracted from Claire's stitching. "I told you about it before."

    "I thought it could've been something different..." Advent grew quiet as he stared at Angel. Nothing to say? I wish... He bit his lip before opening his mouth to add something. "Angel, you obsess over the past way too much. When will you ever move on and have a life like your father probably wanted for you?"

    "Because it's my fault that he's dead," Angel said quietly. "And maybe... with all that's happening... maybe I can find a way to bring him back..."

    There she goes again. Claire cut the string after she tied it securely.

    "Stop blaming yourself! Honestly, it's wasting your time. Nobody would want you blaming yourself over something that you want to believe is your fault." He took a deep breath before continuing. "Angel, you didn't kill your father, your father knew it was coming...he wants you to move on!"

    "And I will," Angel said, slight anger creeping into her voice. "Once I've made up for what I've done."

    Claire patted Angel's head. "All done."

    Angel winced but made no other sign that she was hurting. "Just stop worrying about me. I know what I'm doing."

    Advent faked a cough saying, "Liar." Angel doesn't get it. He tilted his head to the side and thought for a moment. "Angel, would you consider...ehh..." He trailed off.

    "Being a girl for once?" Angel laughed sourly, adjusting her fishnet gloves. "I've heard that one before."

    "No. Going out on another date was what I was about to ask." Advent responded, standing upright. "Can you even stand?"

    "I wouldn't try it," Claire warned before Angel could say yes. "You've lost a lot of blood. You're going to have to take it easy for a bit."

    Angel grumbled a protest, but stayed sitting.

    Advent whistled and bounced on his feet. "So...hm..." I remember a nearby store... Time to get her something? Yeah! He ran over to the door, opening it quickly. "I'll be back in a sec!" You never learn, do you? The voice in his head told him as he rushed outside.
