[How many times can we fall?]
[It's been a week since they've managed to escape.
Neither of them knew who tipped someone off about their location, who helped them escape while everything became hacked and otherwise useless in keeping them contained. It had been their downfall to let Izumo stay in the frontline, his skills almost legendary now with how effective of an assassin he has become over time. Their downfall led to their deaths, and Izumo has ran away with Eric while the remnants of that group tried to go after them.
They didn't know where to go - who to turn to.
For them, this open world was a mystery, even if Izumo has more experience than Eric when it came to the outside world. There's no one they could trust, and little to no money to their name since their captors often took the money Izumo's earned for his kills. But Izumo is adaptable, taking odd jobs here and there in order to earn enough money to save up and find a place to stay.
It's only been a couple of days ago when Izumo first ran into the leader of HOMRA, the Red King and him having traded blows before it came to a tie. They went their separate ways shortly after when an informant came running towards them, Izumo having escaped before he could be questioned.
Now, he had taken Eric to a refuge in a motel. It's small and not one of the best, but it's the best Izumo could afford on such short notice when it became obvious to him when Eric has to rest again.
His right shoulder blade itched from the burns he received from Mikoto, but he ignores it in favor of in-between watching Eric sleep and looking out the window from his perch on the windowsill.]
no subject
Totsuka is the first to approach him, his smile soft and almost guilty, but Izumo simply shakes his head.
For now, he'll make do and start packing for his two month trip. It'll be the longest he's ever been away from his brother, but he knew it was necessary. It had taken everyone to make Izumo see that his relationship with his brother is dangerous, knowing it would only hurt them more than heal.
It's why the distance is necessary.
Izumo doesn't like it, but he'll have to make do, knowing it would certainly help.]
no subject
The more he got better though, the more dread that began to knot into his stomach. Fujishima and Totsuka helped to explain why Izumo was leaving. He didn't really get it, but if it meant Izumo would be better he'll tolerate it. The others would be with him, so it wasn't all bad.
Eric was currently taking it easy on one of the stools at the bar, staring into space. Today was relatively drug free besides a small dizzy spell going down the stairs. Though a headache might form if the idiots continued their boisterous laughter. ]
no subject
It's horrible of him to hope Eric would take longer to recover as it meant he would get to stay longer, but he knew he couldn't do that. He knew he couldn't put it off any longer, and he had given his word to Totsuka that once Eric is better, he'll leave.
Today is the last day he would get to spend with Eric before he has to go.
He was showing Chitose and Dewa how to work the bar, knowing they were the only two he could somewhat depend on properly when it came to keeping it in business. They weren't sure of what's going on, but accepted it, anyway as they were taught everything before finally getting a break to spend time with the others.
Izumo shifts his gaze to the side to look at Eric, walking over to his brother and smiling.]
Is the noise getting too much for you?
no subject
[ He shakes his head, watching the idiots do what idiots do. He was keeping a straight face but so much was going on in his head. Fear, nervousness, anger, that all eh could do was keep calm. ]
Are you all ready?
no subject
[Too bad for Eric, Izumo can see right through that straight face.
His smile softens lightly as he places a hand on top of Eric's head.]
Remember that I'm just a phone call away, and be sure to tell me if these idiots end up destroying my bar while I'm gone.
no subject
He gets him to do a small chuckle at that, a small smile. ]
I will. I'm surprised you're leaving it open to allow those idiots to use it.
no subject
I was thinking about closing it, but we still need to get money somehow.
[Though, he is already dreading how the bar will be when he returns.]
no subject
I'll keep them in line.
I know you're ready...but...are you sure this is a good idea?
[ He has to try, one last time ]
no subject
[He takes out a cigarette, but he doesn't light it yet.
Eric's still healing, and just the click of the lighter is enough to send him on edge. It's taken some convincing from him to have Mikoto not smoke around his brother, too.]
I am. It'll be dangerous for me to be around you in my current condition, and this way, both of us will be able to heal properly.
no subject
I know, thought I would give it one last try.
no subject
And I appreciate the effort. Don't worry, we'll be together again soon.
no subject
[ He fidgets a bit and turns to look over at the others. ]
Just don't disappear like mom and dad.
no subject
no subject
You'll call right? When you get to your place?
no subject
I will.
no subject
[ He looks back at his brother. He was happy to hear that promise, both of them. As long as he kept them, that he'll come back, things will be okay. ]
Pancakes. With bananas.
no subject
Is that what you want for breakfast?
no subject
[ He has a small pout on, a little red in the face. He was going to miss his brothers cooking. ]
Just...one last meal before you go.
no subject
They haven't really experimented with cooking like I've done
[But he nods.]
Alright. Pancakes with bananas coming up.
no subject
Thanks.
no subject
Izumo focuses on the pancakes, cooking it just the way he knew Eric likes it. He also knows that the others would end up asking for more, so he also made extras.
Though,he also made sure to make fresh juice, knowing he might as well use fresh fruits in the meantime.]
no subject
When Izumo comes out, a cale is on the counter, along with a few trinkets and a small banner saying 'come back soon Kusanagi' Everyone smiling and teary eyed. ]
no subject
Izumo had always wondered why everyone seemed to opt for spending more time with him, even Mikoto has taken an initiative of simply going along with him on small runs. It's made him curious, so he's kept an eye on them, though he'd admit that doing so proved useless when it came to Totsuka.
Eying th cake and the banner, a slight smile appeared on his face.] C'mon now, don't make that kind of face. You all act like I'm leaving forever.
no subject
We just...wanted to send you off properly.
[ Totsuka nodded his head towards Eric. It was mostly Eric who wanted to and everyone was more then willing to help him along. ]
no subject
Thank you.
[Everyone brightens up at that, already beginning the celebrations. Most of them invites Izumo for drinks, though he politely declines as he still wants to be sober the next morning.
The party goes on happily, with Mikoto joining soon enough when Totsuka persuaded him to.]
