[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.]

[ He looked at his brother, back to the cupcakes, then back to his brother. ]
...Why?
no subject
[A chuckle escapes from him and he steers Eric towards them.]
Wel, Totsuka wanted to do something for you.
no subject
My question still stands, why?
no subject
[He grins slightly, finding it somewhat amusing.]
Totsuka made up a holiday just for us.

Sounds...like something Totsuka would make.

[ Totsuka went on about how he had worked hard on this special occasion, and he wanted the brothers to know they weren't alone, and that they needed each other among other things.
Eric accepts a cupcake from Fujishima, thanking him and grabbing another one. He thanks Totsuka as well for the effort, it was nice.
He walked backed over to his brother and handed him one of the brotherly cupcakes. ]
Here you go.
no subject
It was amusing to see Totsuka running around, though he didn't quite appreciate the younger destroying his kitchen in the process.
His eyes shifted over to Eric when he comes over, accepting the cupcake with a smile.]
Thank you.
no subject
[ He takes another bite of it, it was really good, Totsuka outdid himself. It was talking now, and some laughing. It was an enjoyable time that Eric enjoyed as much as he could
He knows time's going by, he was going to have to head back to Fujishima's soon. But before that he turns to his brother ]
Izumo?
no subject
He knew that they'll still have trouble in the future, but with his brother now aware of his unconscious behavior, it should be able to help his brother heal more.
Izumo knows that in the end, he'd have to seek out the same help.
But he turns to look at Eric, fingers already curled around a cigarette he had managed to take from Mikoto when the redhead joined them.]
Hmm?
no subject
[ He fidgets a bit with the cupcake paper. It was a little weird to say, but he felt he needed to get it out at some point.
They will both heal, with only scars to show what had happened to them. It will take a while, but they can get there. ]
I'm just glad...that you're my brother...that's all...
no subject
A low chuckle escapes from him as he places a hand on top of Eric's head.]
I'm glad you're my brother, too.
no subject
T-thanks...
no subject
no subject
Ah...yeah.
[ It was another start, they've had many ever since they left that place. Eric was going to have to figure out a lot of things that he didn't even know he had.
He looked up to his brother. ]
You're going to be okay while I'm gone, Izumo?
[ He should be saying that too ]
no subject
Now?
Now it's time to make sure to see it all through. So, he smiles, giving Eric a nod.]
I will be. Will you be okay?
no subject
[ He was trying to be honest. Fujishima's place was still kind of scary and he was sure it was going to be difficult. But things were getting better. ]
But probably.
no subject
If you ever need anything, be sure to tell Fujishima or call, okay?
[But he knows Eric needs to learn to depend on someone else now, and as he glances at Fujishima, he sees the other man give him a short nod of understanding.]
Now, get going. It's getting late.
no subject
I know, I know...
[ He smiles at his brother before cleaning up a bit with the cupcakes and bowls. When that was all done, he nodded to Fujishima before going over to Izumo and gave him a hug. ]
Goodnight Izumo.
no subject
After everything is cleaned up, Izumo accepts the hug Eric gives him, tightening his hold a bit.
Parting has and always will be difficult.
But he pulls back a bit.]
Good night, Eric.
no subject
But he couldn't. He had to be strong.
With one final squeeze and good night, Eric leaves with Fujishima back to his place. As they walk back, Fujishima talks to him about how he knew what was going on with his mindset, how they all just wanted to see him get better, and how they were all going to help him at his own pace. Eric could only nod at all of, drained emotionally and mentally.
When they reached Fujishima's place, Eric went for the couch, he couldn't handle the bed, not tonight. He saw the other follow and leaned his head on his shoulder. It wasn't Izumo, not by a long shot, but it was good company. And with that, Eric fell asleep. ]
no subject
Izumo's finally working on getting better with Totsuka and Mikoto by his side, and the occasional visit from Anna. There were times when Fujishima would give him updates on Eric, learning things about his younger brother that he had never learned before. It made Izumo consider confronting Eric about it, but he knew it would be better to do everything subtly.
But now, it was the weekend and Izumo's doing his best to keep Totsuka out of the kitchen. The younger man had taken a liking to experimenting with food, and so far, none of them were good.]
no subject
The talks he had with Fujishima were always the most difficult thing he had to do, but he was getting better. At first he would only say a few words or just one small topic, but now he managed to give him stories and explain what happened to him while his brother was away.
The training to become a dog, the killings, the poison words that they would place inside his head about his brother and the outside world, the beatings and starvation, and the hours and days of being alone in a room, praying for his brother to come back regardless of what the others had said. Fujishima listened to it all and gave him comfort when it looked like Eric desperately needed some as he continued to talk.
Eric had been doing well, so as he went over to his brother's place, he was in quite good spirits, if not just a bit tired from the occasional sleepless nights. He opened the door to the bar to be greeted by a very pouting Totsuka and irritated looking Izumo. ]

Bro you are the worst to Fuji
He needs to find amusement somewhere
So Eric's friend thats crushing on himis his amusement >> Good job
it's only amusing because he knows fuji won't confess soon
That's even worse bro :/ If he confessed faster would there be less amusment and more dislike?
it depends. Izumo's not sure yet.
If Izumo approves or not would be interesting XD
Fuji needs to work on getting his approval
Ouch not even approved yet
at least Izumo won't glare at him every time he sees him?
Achievement Unlocked! Next step in 15000 more Izumo points XD
So much Izumo points

Of course!
If someone hurt Eric though oh boy
Prepare for a very pissed off older brother
