twenty-fifth breath ✧ voice

[musubi]

[When Isamu speaks, his voice is incredibly shaky.]

You motherfuckers.

You fucking win. Are you happy?

[He doesn't clarify who he's speaking to, but the answer may be obvious.

Wanting to visit Naoki as often as he could get away with without being shooed off, the teen had headed up to his friend's apartment. But he wasn't there. It didn't look as if he'd ever been there.

He wasn't at the house. He wasn't at the New Feather lodges. He wasn't anywhere.

Naoki would have told him if he was leaving again, right? Things had just been starting to work out between them again...]

You can't... You can't do shit like this.

DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

[Filtered to Raphael, Richard, and Sanji]

He's gone.

I have to get out of here.

Just... don't look for me, okay?

[Unspoken: He'll be back. Maybe.]

I... I will.

Yell at me if you need to.

[ledbythewind]

Mm.

[Isamu isn't the one he really wants to yell at now-- he wants to scream at the Malnosso, demand that they bring Naoki back, because this just isn't fair.]

Y-you should move in with him.

We should... all move in together or... or something.

Fuck.

[Richard is quiet for a moment; when he speaks again, his tone is firm, with no room for arguments.]

If I go anywhere, you are coming with me.

[Even though all he really wants right now is to just run away from everyone.]

[Much as Isamu is already doing?]

...Fine.

When... when I get back.

[Voice/filtered]

[ledbythewind]

... take care, Isamu.

[But his voice nearly breaks as he says that, because... that was the last thing Naoki had said to him.]

[Voice/filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

...You too, man.

[Richard can't say anything, just make a soft noise of assent-- he knows that if he tries to speak, he's going to break down again, and he'd rather not do that.]
