eighth breath ✧ action

[musubi]

[When he was fairly sure the sky was clear of falling trees, Isamu had made his way outside toward the edge of town. It was late, but of the things the teen feared, creatures that went bump in the night weren't part of them. He didn't tell anyone he was leaving. He just went.

Sometime later, he can be found dozing against a light post just at the town's edge. It probably isn't the safest place to be, but he's too tired to bother walking back to the apartment complex just yet. His journal is with him, but it's closed shut.

Just a few more minutes, and he'll start walking...]

[Naoki looks over at him, tilts his head slightly.]

No, what is it?

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

It...

...You know. Despite what I said, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here.

[Naoki stares at him for a few moments, as though puzzled. Then he smiles a little and ducks his head.] Guess it's a good thing I was, then.

[Glances away, turning slightly.] M'glad you're here. Even if we are stuck and it kinda sucks here sometimes.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Hmph. Surprised you can stand me, to be honest.

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

You're my friend. I like when you're around. If I didn't, you honestly think I'd worry as much as I do?

[Isamu blinks a little, then chuckles, looking down at the floor.] ...Have we had this conversation already?

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

I think so. [Naoki quirks a smile over at him.] But I can say it as many times as it takes to get through that head of yours.

[Isamu stops at the door to his apartment, still with an awkward smile.] It's not that thick, you know. My head.

[Naoki pauses in front of him.] Oh, it's not?

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[He taps the side of it with one finger.] You'd be surprised.

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Huh. Surprise me, then.

[Stopping a moment to add, in a firm tone.] When you go in, make sure to drink lots of water before you go to sleep.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[omg mom] I will, I will.

[Wait.] ...Surprise you right now?

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

I was just saying it. Y'don't actually have to.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Ah... [Another small smile.]

See you tomorrow, then, Naoki.

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Yeah, see you then. [Turning a little to head down to his own apartment.] G'night, Isamu.
