I haven't eaten since...

[Anyway, he's eating it! And it's good and he likes it and he likes Gojou!]

[mukagen]

... I was trying to cheer you up.

[ But it seems like they're back to remember what happened. Gojou continues to eat, too. ]

[housewolf]

[This gentle, little smile.]

It worked.

[mukagen]

I'm sorry you had to go through that... But I was also relieved.

[ He isn't sure how to say it, so he eats some more first. ]

I don't trust people here to handle it.

[housewolf]

... I'm not sure I handled it.

[They just talked and in the end... Fukuda chose to take his own life.]

But I get what you mean. [Fukuda was not popular and saying he drilled people's heads was not doing him any favors.]

[mukagen]

... Sometimes not handling it is handling it. I know that sounds weird.

[ But Gojou sees it as a method, either way. It isn't one he would usually take, but it's still one of the better ones in his opinion. ]

If you want to vent, I'll listen.

[housewolf]

I don't think it sounds weird at all.

[He thinks for a moment, as he finishes up his meal.]

... I don't want to vent. Not really.

[What is there to say? It's unfair? He's mad about it? This memory will weigh on his shoulders until he dies just the same as Nachi's death?]

[mukagen]

[ Gojou finishes, too, now playing with the sound the spoon makes against the plate... Just a small graze for a light sound. ]

That's fine, too. I'm just saying that I'm here.

[housewolf]

[He reaches out with his free hand, just so their hands are touching.]

You just being here helps.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou will decide to take it a step further and place his hand on Omi's and give it a firm squeeze. ]

If you need anything, you can ask.

[ They can just be quiet for now. ]

[housewolf]

[There's this soft and distant smile as he squeezes back.]

Stay with me a little longer?

[mukagen]

[ He drums his fingers on Omi's hands, contemplative. ]

I didn't know I was planning on going anywhere?

[housewolf]

[There's the softest smile.]

Want to go somewhere more comfortable? Like the pillow fort situation?

[mukagen]

[ HE FREEZES. And in the smallest voice: ]

I took down the fort.

[housewolf]

We can put it back, right?

[Omi, internally: why.]

[mukagen]

[ jakalllmfnsjskk oh my god omi please even gojou is dying ]

You need to stop indulging me so much! We can just flop on the bed.

[housewolf]

[He's laughing, soft. It hasn't been that long, but somehow it's always easier around Gojou.]

I'm fine with the bed too.

[mukagen]

All right, let’s go. Someone can clean after us.

[ Or Gojou will do that later. Anyway, he leads Omi to his room by the hand!

They pass by the first floor, only decorated with a blue rose on the desk, and straight up the loft.

Plop onto the bed. ]

What are the pillows and sheets even made of here...? Everything is always so soft.

[housewolf]

[He does notice the rose, but he won't say anything about it now.

Omi is not going to let go of that hand? He's also immediately curling into Gojou.]

Sloth clouds...? I can't think of anything this nice back home.

[mukagen]

That’d make sense... Sloth’s clouds are pretty soft.

[ He lets Omi curl up and he pulls him close! ]

If only it made sleeping a little easier for me.

[housewolf]

[Warm...]

Do you have trouble sleeping, Satoru?

[mukagen]

[ Gojou plays with his hair, too. ]

I sleep at home fine, but here it’s weird since I don’t have my abilities. It was kind of remedied when I decided to let Fukuda share my bed so he didn’t sleep outside, but...

[ well. ]

[housewolf]

[It's kinda funny how soothing he finds this.]

Do you want to sleep with me...?

[mukagen]

I wouldn’t want to leave my room unattended at night...

[ Gojou, assuming that Omi means following him to his room. ]

[housewolf]

I mean, I can sleep here?
