STUFF WILL GO HERE ONE DAY

Comments

[resortghosts]

[ Going to ghost into his room to see if he's there, then! ]

[purrtagonist]

[he is!! lying on his bed with his face buried in his pillow and his tablet turned off and cast aside, oops. no wonder he didn't respond]

[resortghosts]

[ Yup, no wonder. Yoshi's going to pick up the tablet and thunk it against the bed right by his head on that very conversation. ]

[purrtagonist]

[jerks his head up to stare at the tablet, blinking blearily at the conversation. his reply is verbal]

. . . Yoshi-kun.

[resortghosts]

[ He pushes the tablet towards him so he can definitely read. ]

he's going to want to talk to you but this is the only way you'll be able to see it

keep it close!

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

[sits up and takes the tablet, pillowing it into his lap]

[he doesn't say anything else]

[resortghosts]

[ He gets some gentle pats on the back. If he doesn't react too badly to that, he'll get a hug, too. ]

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . . a hug. . .]

[. . . leans into that hug a bit, trying to slide his arm around Yoshi's back]

[resortghosts]

[ Then a hug he shall get. Yoshi climbs onto the bed and hugs tight, so it'll be easy to figure out where his back is.

He'll hold on as long as Akira does, or until Akira gets any other messages he needs to attend to. ]

[purrtagonist]

[what if]

[Akira doesn't move]

[at all]

[what if???]

[resortghosts]

[ GUESS WE'RE JUST HUGGING HIM FOREVER NOW. ]

[purrtagonist]

[THIS SEEMS FAIR AND LEGIT]

[Akira won't be the first to pull away]

[resortghosts]

[ He'll stick around until whenever it is that Minato messages or arrives and slip away then. ]

[purrtagonist]

[what if that doesn't happen before Akira pulls away, swiping a hand across his eyes and taking a deep breath]

Tell everyone I'm fine.

I'll be-- fine.

They don't have to worry about me.

[resortghosts]

[ Silence. And then, because Akira can't see him, he taps out a message on the tablet. ]

/stares

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . .]

[JUST. . . DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING TO THAT. . .]

[resortghosts]

i bet if i tell inaba she'll worry too

and ichigo and shirou and minato and everyone

[ THEY'RE NOT DUMB NOW THAT THEY'RE DEAD, AKIRA. ]

do you really want me to tell them you said that???

[purrtagonist]

You say that like they aren't worrying already. I'm sure that they are.

[DON'T TATTLE ON HIM YOSHI]

[resortghosts]

everyone is

so even if i tell them you're okay, no one'll believe it

[purrtagonist]

Maybe not.

But they don't have to believe it if they don't want to.

[resortghosts]

then why tell them...?

[purrtagonist]

Because if I say it enough, then maybe it'l be true.

[. . . ah]

[resortghosts]

...i don't think telling us is going to help there...

[purrtagonist]

. . .

Shut up.

[but there's no head in his words, and he flops to the side on his bed, rolling over to press his face against a pillow]

[resortghosts]

[ Yoshi will just go and pat him on the head. Sorry, Akira... ]
