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?

[ 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....

[singsingbluesilver]

Really..?

[ And he gets an impish look in his eyes before he pounces to tickle him. ]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[SDFGHJKL!!!;;;]

Ryu---Ryuichi!

[ DOESN'T WANT TO LAUGH! ]

[singsingbluesilver]

[ And he just grins and TICKLES his sides, going for the ribs first. ]

Tohma!

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ TRYING TO PUSH HIM AWAY. BUT FAILING BECAUSE LAUGHING. AND SQUIRMING. AND LAUGHING. ]

[singsingbluesilver]

[ And he's laughing with, doing his best to stay on top of Tohma and tickling him until they are both breathless. ]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

S-Stop it!!!

[ If you don't his stomach is going to hurt so much from laughing~! ]

Please!

[singsingbluesilver]

Is Tohma not gonna think bad thoughts anymore?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[;;;]

I promise I won't think bad thoughts ever again! J-Just stop!!!

[singsingbluesilver]

[ Just hugs him again and stops with the tickling. ]

Now you promised.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ Hugging his poor abused sides, panting and in slight pain from so much laughing. And you know it's a promise he can't keep. ]

Ryuichi....

[ And just one more laugh escapes. ]

[singsingbluesilver]

[ Sighs and stretches out on top of him, snuggling close like the little kid he pretends to be. ]

Just try, okay?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ Smiling, though suddenly looking a little solemn again. ]

You never let me dwell on anything.
