38... and he was

[singsingbluesilver]

So they just take them without warning, huh? How not clever of those guys. I wonder if they know what they're doing or if they just like playing god?

I guess this means I have to keep a close eye on them.

So, Tetsu, what are you doing? Wanna go with me to look for some food?

Hey there.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[...]

Mm.

[singsingbluesilver]

Come here.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. It's better this way.

[singsingbluesilver]

Tohma...

I just want to know what we should bring back. To make a good meal.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Anything is fine.

[singsingbluesilver]

Tohma.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

What is it?

[singsingbluesilver]

I wanna hug.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ He glances at Ryuichi from his seat across the room. It almost looks like he thinks it isn't worth the effort.

But, he gets up and walks over to him, arms outstretched. ]

Why do you want a hug?

[singsingbluesilver]

[ He cringed a little at the look on Tohma's face and doesn't even hide the smile on his face when Tohma does get up. He practically throws himself into Tohma's arms. ]

Because we need one.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ He gives a little "oof" and wraps his arms around Ryuichi's waist, pulling him close. ]

I feel like I've been ignoring you.

[singsingbluesilver]

[ Buries his head against Tohma's shoulder and squeezes back hard. ]

Tohma is worrying too much.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ He sighs, his voice quiet ]

...I just didn't think he'd leave. I'm glad, though... this city was upsetting him so much.

[singsingbluesilver]

Then you shouldn't worry too much. He'll wake up, call it a stupid dream, blame Shuichi and go back to work. And then when we go back, we will all think it was a dream too and it would be fine!

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure that's something we should assume.... If so, this is a terribly long dream.

[singsingbluesilver]

What else do we have? We can't think that they all die. can we?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ HADN'T. THOUGHT. OF THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ]

...I'd prefer to think he just went back home. Alive and well. He's always said he wanted to live life without me suffocating him.

[singsingbluesilver]

We'll go back and be there like we took a short nap. And everything will be the same as we left it.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Do you know that for sure?

[singsingbluesilver]

I can't see it happening any other way.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

...I hope you're right.

[singsingbluesilver]

I'm always right!

[ And Ryuichi pokes him in the side. ]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

A-Ah... Careful. That tickles, Ryuichi....
