08: Spiral's End

[broclone.livejournal.com]

At least it's all over now, right?

Right. And I'm supposed to be smiling since everything's been solved already. I won.

Why do I feel like crying?

[You might just hear someone punching your front door, or something to that effect. If you check outside, there will be one (1) Ayumu looking very downcast, about to cry. Stuff like that.]

When did it start raining?

[ooc; Ayumu has been canon-updated to the end of the manga's main story! Just right before the epilogue. Nothing important has changed, but he's... going be really emo for now but will cheer up sooner or later. Most likely later.]

[because I need to give you your leaf back okay goddamn it. more looking.]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[It's your leaf now, didn't I tell you that? Gosh. Listen when other people are talking. Eventually wandering over to a tree or something and sitting under it, just... kind of hangin' out. Icon... is really not very appropriate but I don't feel like finishing the one that is.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[aaaand holding the leaf over your head now!]

Found you.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Had closed our eyes over so only dully registered the rain had stopped before you said something, at... which point we nearly jump right out of our skin.] Wh-- N-N-Na... Y-you scared me...

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't you be back in the blimp?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

... [Here, Ayumu. Have some of your own medicine. :|] I-I like the rain.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[bonk to the head]

You're just saying that.

[Flinches, briefly iconfacing.]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

W-why would I still be out here, if I didn't...?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

... [whatever, man]

You're going to get sick.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

No I won't. [Which is probably true. Although even if we did, we'd just. Cease to exist for a week and then return and pretend nothing had happened.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

You will. [oh, like he knows D8]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

T-then you will too. And Maka will be mad at both of us. [This face forever.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

If she gets mad at you, then get mad at her too.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Balks.] I-I could never get mad at Maka...!

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[X<] B-because... Maka... [...you know, I don't know how to answer that question. We just ...couldn't.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

What?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Shaking our head.] I-I just couldn't.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Just take your leaf back. I don't need anything to cover my head with.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a little, and eventually kind of half-smiles.] I-I guess neither of us do, anymore. We're... a-already all wet.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Mm, that's... that's a good point.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Hugging our knees a little closer to ourselves. It kind of feels silly to worry about getting out of the rain, now. We'll just get everything inside all wet.] ...a-are you really okay...?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I can manage.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Watches you for a couple of seconds, and nods a little. We hope you're not lying, but we're not gonna bother you about it. We don't really know you well enough for that.] ...okay.
