"Why the hell didn't you call me?"

I hadn't told him because he'd overreact, bail on work and come back to the palace when there was nothing he could do. It was my fault I'd popped my shoulder again, giving Elle's boyfriend a hand moving furniture. I shouldn't have done it but I couldn't let my pregnant sister do it, could I? She thinks I don't know, but her boyfriend needed to tell someone and he could hide behind me when they informed Laguna.

Like he won't be ecstatic as soon as he gets over the fact his "little girl" has an active sex life. Somehow it was easier to get over the son being gay thing than it was the Elle having a boyfriend thing and she's older than me.

I shrugged - one armed. "I thought a few hours wouldn't matter."

He rubbed a hand over his face and sighed. "And you have your doctor's appointment tomorrow."

"So he'll be able to see how bad it is," I smiled as innocently as I could. That got a pillow thrown at me - to the left of my head so I didn't even have to avoid it and jar my shoulder.
"You are so... Rargh!" Seifer threw up his hands, stalking over and pouncing on me for a hug. "And I thought after we moved here, you'd be safe. Dammit."

He kissed my hair and clung to me. I'd never understand how he could get so worked up over something stupid like a dislocated shoulder, especially when Ward could put it back better than Kadowaki, but I could tolerate it for the snuggles afterwards.

Sometimes it's worth getting injured, but I'm not telling Seifer.
