[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.]

Its not long after that they've arrived at Miyabi's place. Eric opens his brother's door and steadies him out. ]
Just call when you're done, okay?
no subject
[Miyabi is already there to greet them, and she bows to Totsuka and Eric in greeting.]
no subject
...Okay.
[ He quickly goes back into the car, waiting for Totsuka to come back. Totsuka warmly greets the girl, tells her to take good care of Izumo before joining Eric in the car. They wave to him before driving off. ]
no subject
Izumo and Miyabi had mostly spent the time catching up, trying to figure out what to do now before agreeing to keep in touch and call each other once in a while.
Izumo didn't want to involve her in their life, and she didn't want to be caught in any trouble they might find themselves in.
It was Miyabi who made the call to Totsuka since Izumo still couldn't see the names clearly enough.]
no subject
They arrive back at her place in a half an hour, Totsuka coming out to greet them both again while Eric remained inside the car, fidgeting with his sleeves. ]
no subject
He settles back inside the car, acutely aware of Eric's presence.]
Eric?
no subject
[ He gives a small wave to Miyabi but jumps a bit when Izumo calls his name. ]
no subject
[He simply wanted to know if his brother is still there.
But Totsuka's in the driver's seat again and with one last wave to Miyabi, drives off back to their city.]
no subject
[ He touches his arm, just to say he is here, before he went to staring out the window as they went back to their home. ]
no subject
It'd be their last chance together before they'll have to be separated.]
no subject
Eric stayed for a while before heading upstairs and going into his room, feeling a bit overwhelmed today. Fujishima comes up a few minutes after and stays with him, talking to him but not really getting any responses. ]
no subject
He sees Fujishima walk out of Eric's room, giving him a nod before he slips inside once he's sure he won't be stopped.]
Eric.
no subject
Hey, something wrong?
no subject
no subject
[ He fidgets with his hands on his sleeves, thinking about all that's been happening the last few months. It's been difficult to deal with the outside world, he almost preferred to be away from it as much as possible. ]
no subject
[He pulls Eric into a hug, a sigh escaping from him.] I'm gonna miss you.
no subject
[ He hugs back, clinging to him. It seemed better when it was just the two of them. ]
Miss you too.
no subject
[He runs his fingers through Eric's hair comfortingly.]
no subject
[ But he had to be good. No bad thoughts or else hell be a bad dog, so he'll think good thoughts, so he can be a good dog. ]
But, I'll be good. We'll heal, together.
no subject
[Pulling back, he places his hands on Eric's shoulders.]
And when we're finally better, I want you to stop referring yourself as a dog.
no subject
[ He blinks in surprise. Why bring that up? ]
I don't do that anymore.
no subject
Izumo wants his brother to be better.]
Sometimes, you do. When Totsuka commented on the song in the car, you grew quiet. He likes to hear you sing it, you know.
no subject
I didn't feel like singing anymore, that's all. It doesn't mean anything. Especially about being a dog. You said it yourself right, that I wasn't and I'm not.
no subject
I simply want to make sure.
