35: ANOTHER MINDSET

You POV:

Riding home with Peh seated behind you, you couldn't shake the tension in the air. The events of the meeting still weighed heavily on your mind, and you couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for what had transpired.

Arriving at your house, you parked the bike and helped Peh to a seat at the table. You could see the pain etched on his face, and your heart went out to him. "Stay here." you instructed gently, before disappearing into your bathroom to gather supplies.

In the bathroom, you carefully retrieved a first aid kit from the cabinet, your hands shaking slightly with the gravity of the situation. 'Calm down, you'll solve everything. Don't freak out' you thought to yourself. You selected antiseptic wipes, gauze pads, and medical tape, laying them out methodically on the countertop.

Returning to the kitchen, you set to work cleaning Peh's wounds with gentle yet firm movements. You dabbed at the cuts and bruises with the antiseptic wipes, wincing sympathetically as Peh grunted softly in discomfort.

Once the wounds were clean, you carefully applied antibiotic ointment to prevent infection before covering them with gauze pads and securing them in place with medical tape. You worked with steady hands, your focus solely on easing Peh's discomfort and ensuring his injuries were properly cared for.

As you tended to him, Peh watched you with a mixture of gratitude and awe. "You're really good at this." he remarked softly, his voice filled with admiration. "Thank you for taking care of me, Y/N."

You offered him a warm smile, your heart swelling with a sense of pride. "I'm kinda used to it, always doing this for myself, Mikey or Draken." you replied sincerely. "You're part of Toman, and that makes you family. I'll always be here to help you or anyone else when you need it."

Once you had finished bandaging Peh's wounds, you stepped back to survey your handiwork. Satisfied that you had done your best to ease his pain, you met his gaze with a reassuring smile. "There." you said, your voice filled with quiet determination. "All done. How are you feeling?"

Peh offered you a grateful nod, his expression softened by your care and concern. "Better, thanks to you." he replied earnestly. "I can't thank you enough, Y/N. You're a true friend."

Your heart swelled with warmth at his words, a sense of camaraderie and solidarity washing over you. "Anytime." you said, your voice filled with conviction. "Want some water?" you asked him walking to the kitchen.

As Peh sat at the table, nursing his wounds, you hurried to the kitchen to fetch him a glass of water. The sound of running water filled the room as you filled the glass, your mind racing with thoughts about the events of the night.

Returning to the table, you handed the water and pill to Peh, offering him a reassuring smile. "Here you go." you said softly, your voice filled with genuine concern. "This should help ease the pain. Take it."

Peh took the pill gratefully, washing it down with a gulp of water. He let out a sigh of relief, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly as the pain began to dull. Just as Peh settled back into his seat, the sound of the door opening drew your attention.

You turned to see Mikey and Draken stepping into the house, their expressions a mix of curiosity and concern. Draken approached Peh, his eyes scanning over him with a critical gaze. "How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine concern.

Peh nodded, offering a grateful smile. "Better, thanks to Y/N." he replied, his voice filled with gratitude. "She patched me up and gave me something for the pain."
