... They should come back. I never did anything to deserve this.

[ the journal flips open, shut, then open again in a matter of moments. shuri's staring straight ahead, not exactly sulking - for once. but not looking entirely happy. ]

No one would have missed him anyway. It's not like his - [ grumble, grumble. shuri waves a hand absently. ] We could trade places~! This sort of place is okay for someone like him, he wouldn't mind at all even if he didn't remember.

[ the chair squeaks as it's tilted back. shuri hums thoughtfully to himself. ] He'd probably even be happy to get away from Uncle... He'd probably be thrilled to be living with people like this, in a place like this, and he wouldn't even care that there are no servants.

[ and suddenly he leans forward, slamming both hands down on the desk. the journal is swept aside, skidding onto the floor. ] Someone like him doesn't even appreciate what he has! It isn't fair that he gets to enjoy it all when he doesn't even want it!

[ there's a long pause. shuri kicks his desk. hard. ] I want to go home.

Do you want to forget them? [This is asked in a mild tone, as a serious question.]

[fyulong]

And? [Seriously Shuri that can't be all.]

[abishopreally.livejournal.com]

Of course there is.

[You're creepy in other ways.]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

And what? [ Isn't that it? ]

[Voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

I want to be home.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Re: [Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Of course. We all want to go home.

[abishopreally.livejournal.com]

Castor. And those people Hakuren helps. [It is really creepy.]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Whatever. No one important.

[abishopreally.livejournal.com]

...You're really irritating, you know that? I take it the people who are "missing" you are more important?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

They are.

And what does it matter if someone did miss him? They have him and they don't need to now.

[abishopreally.livejournal.com]

[Sweatdrop] You were the one who brought it up.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

He just shouldn't have gotten to go home first!

[ ...Mikado feels just slightly upset by this, but then again, who doesn't want to go home? ]

Are you okay?

[ audio ]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

[ NO RESPONSE. At least, there won't be until he notices he's knocked it over. He just looks sulky.

... oh, now he's noticing. reaching over and scooping it up, plunking it down on the desk.

... ] I'm fine.

[abishopreally.livejournal.com]

Life's unfair, little boy.

[Laughing on the inside!!]

[ audio ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Um... [ a short hesitation ]

...If you need anything, just let me know, okay?

[ audio ]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

[ ... awkward pause. ]

... I want to get out of the house for a bit. [ HINT. HINT. ]

[fyulong]

Why do you spend time together?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Because we want to.

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Maybe for people like you.

[ audio ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

[ ...Oh. ]

...To where?

[ audio ]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

... I don't know.

Out. Somewhere. [ think think. ] The cafe?

[ audio ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

...Okay.

So, I'll see you there.
