[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.]

redstray: (that so)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-05 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Like what?

[ He tilts his head, not that he really cared but it seemed strange to bring up. ]

They're improving, that's all that really matters, right?

[ Not that he's one to talk. ]
redstray: (Heh)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ He blinked ]

You mean you aren't?

[ He said it teasingly enough, they were quite close, but his brother had a hard time with affection, and they seemed like good friends anyways. Eric wouldn't care either way, his brother was his brother. ]

What about me?
redstray: (Unsure)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I know. It's just kind of funny.

[ He knows his brother. But it was fun teasing him every once in awhile almost felt normal.

He nods a few times, even though Fujishima was giving him a worrying look that he couldn't see. ]


I'm good, doing real good.
redstray: (Ah)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Why?

[ Just because it was a light tease, Eric didn't understand how him and Fujishima could be seen as together. They were just friends, he couldn't figure it out.

He had to change the subject a bit so he perks up and tries to look a bit more excited. ]


I've been cooking a lot more. Do you want me to make dinner again?
redstray: (7_7)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks to Fujishima and sees the blush, tilting his head as the red head got redder in his face. He blinked before slinking off the stool and towards the kitchen. He didn't pay it any mind what his friend was doing. ]

Udon. With beef and vegetables.
redstray: (No...)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ He sees his brother smile and raises his eyebrows a bit in question before shaking his head. ]

I can do it. But, if I need help...I'll ask.

[ And with that he disappears into the kitchen and starts getting everything ready, hearing Totsuka cheer him on and wishing him luck. ]
redstray: (Happy)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Eric gets to work, being careful and a bit slow. But hes determined to make a good meal for his brother and his friends. The kitchen wasn't as scary as it had been when he first started and he knew where things were by now.

Half hour or so later, Eric comes out with a tray of four steaming bowls of udon. He's careful as he can be carrying them over to the other three and slowly places it on the counter.

Eric looks a little but happier, a little more proud as he places the bowls in front of everyone. He can do something useful to help everyone, and he kind of enjoyed doing it. ]


Dinner's ready.
redstray: (Tsun)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Totsuka and Fujishima both thank him for the meal, agreeing that it smelled delicious.

Eric was the one who grew red this time, looking away and fidgeting with his sleeves. It was still embarrassing to hear compliments. But that meant he was a good dog and doing a good job, so he didn't mind. ]


Smell's not as important as taste.
redstray: (Munch munch)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
It's not as good as yours though.

[ He jumps a bit at the newcomer, sorry that he didn't make him a bowl as well. A head pat later the man remarks Izumo had already fed him.

He watches everyone begin to dig in as he sat down again, but he himself didn't reach for his own bowl.

Wait a bit after they start, then you can eat.

As soon everyone has taken a few bites, Eric starts his meal. He brings the bowl close to him, as if he was trying to make sure no one else got it. His bites were small and quick, as little noise as possible. Be quiet, don't be noticed, no loud noises or else they might look at him. Dogs have to be quiet. ]
redstray: (Mutter)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Can't be bias if its the best cooking.

[ As Totsuka talks he listens intently in case of anything that was asked of him, but he remained quiet unless Totsuka specifically asked him something.

His answers were generally quiet mumbled out short sentences, straight to the point, no more, no less. ]
redstray: (SCared)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ When Totsuka begins talking to him he tries his best to respond as he had before. But he kept going for more on a topic, explain this, are you sure that. How about this? So annoying.

Eric continued to look at his bowl, annoyed from all the useless conversation. He wanted to be quiet, he needed to be quiet.

So after one last question, Eric snaps at him.

He blinks, knowing he said something, and knowing he directed it towards the older man, but he couldn't remember what it was. And judging from the wide eyed look he was getting from both Fujishima and Totsuka, he had said something wrong. He was a bad dog. ]


S-sorry. I didn't...I didn't mean...I'm sorry. I...

[ He can't finish his words and his throat tightens and panic starts to set it. He tenses up, ready for anything to happen. Ready for a hit, or to run out the door. ]
redstray: (Look)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ He practically jumps out of his skin when he feels his brothers hand on his shoulder and starts to shake. ]

I have to...I have...

[ He starts to grab hold of his hair with his hands, trying to calm himself down by tugging on it, hard. ]
redstray: (Huff)

[personal profile] redstray 2016-02-06 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shuts his eyes but clings to his brother in the hug. ]

I have to be good...I have to be good. I can't...

[ He whispers in between shaky breaths repeatedly. This was bad, his brother was going through enough, he can't be like this now. He had to be strong and be a good dog. ]
