Chasma: Yukio

[aono]

Comments

Week 0, Tuesday

[aono]

[It's evening, and while Rin probably should be going to bed, he's actually out in the hall. He walks up to the door to Yukio's room and looks like he's going to knock on it, only to sigh and drop his hand and start walking back to his own. But then he turns back around and starts over again only to stop and turn back.

This happens several times, and if Yukio doesn't catch him in the act then he will eventually find Rin seated with his back against the door, waiting there.]

[reflash]

[It will have to be "eventually", because Yukio's out late, looking around and finding nothing. He can't think clearly. He's been thrown off and he can't find his footing again.

Sleep might help, but it's going to be the floor again and he's not going to get any rest. His arm hurts from that fall he took, and his ribs as well, and he's moving a little slowly, his daemon still limping on her left front paw.

He doesn't want to see Rin, waiting for him.]

Nii-san, is everything all right? [He asks, politely.]

Week 0, Saturday

[aono]

[Rin is in a mood but he's still going to go looking for Yukio. Because he doesn't know what else to do right now.

...it's probably Rinkou who finds him first though, because good nose for smelling. But Rin isn't far behind.]

[reflash]

Nii-san. [Yukio says, as Rin walks up.]

We have a problem. [somehow, it's suddenly become "we", not "you".]

Week 1, Tuesday

[aono]

[Time to BODYSLAM INTO YUKIO but not really because he's not going to tackle his brother. More like, he's going up to Yukio to talk to him.]

Hey! Do you think the teams actually matter for anything?

[reflash]

[Thank you for not tackling him.]

Did someone tell you they did?

Week 1, post-trial

[aono]

[Time to immediately crash into Yukio and drag him off somewhere to talk.]

I lied at the trial. I know about the Watcher-thing because me and Suriel talked about it.

[Your lie was obvious, Rin.]

[reflash]

Did you ask them for something? [or did it just come up after what happened earlier this week?]

Week 2, Monday

[aono]

[Someone is practically skipping along as he goes looking for Yukio. He! Did a good!!! And he wants to share it with his brother.]

Yukioooooo! Where are you?

[reflash]

[Yukio is having such a weird week and it's only Monday.]

Nii-san? What is it?

Week 2, Tuesday morning

[reflash]

Nii-san. [Yukio looks. Smug.]

Suriel is sixteen and does not currently have a boyfriend.

[git rekt]

[aono]

[A pause, and then:]

What the fuck?! Yukio!

Week 2, Thursday

[aono]

[It's Thursday evening, right before curfew, and Rin is out looking for Yukio. He's actually not trying to fight, not initially at least, but Spike's advice of 'give him a chance to not be an ass and then beat him up if he is' is lingering in his mind. He's staying close to the mansion too, figuring he can grab Yukio and head off to one of their rooms for curfew.]

Hey, Yukio?

[reflash]

Nii-san. [He smiles, like Rin's a stranger.]

How can I help you?

Week 2, post-trial

[aono]

[He hasn't directly talked to Yukio since their fight on Thursday night. But a couple of days is enough for Rin to be calm enough to talk, at least. Maybe.

He's not looking forward to it. Yukio holds onto his anger way longer than Rin does. But it needs to be done.

So Rin heads towards Yukio's room, carrying a bowl of soup. It's Ojiya, the soup from their sick days as children. It's...not quite as good as the Ojiya from home, but Rin made due with what he had.

After a moment of hesitation, he shifts the bowl to one hand to knock on the door.]

[reflash]

[He wants to be angry. He is angry, the sort of thing that sticks to the back of his throat, that makes him want to slam the door in Rin's face.

It's not one thing, it's not a dozen things, it's everything coming out all at once and he hates it, hates Rin, hates himself most of all.]

Nii-san. [He wants to slam the door in Rin's face.

He doesn't.]

Wednesday morning

[aono]

[Before the mini-event, basically.

Rin is bringing Yukio a plate of Omurice, and he's also wearing two sets of Yukio's glasses on top of his head. I can call them Yukio's glasses because they have that distinct style, yes.]

Rise and shine, Yukio!

[As if Yukio wouldn't already be awake.]

[reflash]

[Yukio's already awake, and he... stares at Rin for a second, like he's slightly confused by the glasses.]

Did you ask the Watchers for those?

[More importantly...]

Did you ask them for anything else?

[Yukio needs to work on his "good morning"s.]

w3 post trial

[reflash]

Nii-san. [Yukio says, quietly. He's looking Rin over, expression cold and distant.

Miki, on the other hand, gets as close to Rin as possible for an alligator, pressing her scaly body against the bars.]

[aono]

[Rin really didn't know what to expect. He and Yukio haven't spoken in days, and that trial was...something. But as soon as he sees that look on Yukio's face, his bottom lip is tightening.]

Hey. You finally ready to talk, or am I gonna die not knowing what's been eating at you all this time?

[Rin is trying to be tough, and he doesn't move towards Miki. Rinkou, on the other hand, is making sad whining noises as she pushes up to the bars too. Her snout can fit out to press against Miki.]

week 4, ghost party

[reflash]

[from here]

[He can't say anything, or take off the mask, but...

He might have been a little worried about Rin, and he doesn't want this conversation (such as it is) to happen in public.]

[aono]

[It's fine! Rin can do all the talking on his side. He's at least emotionally competent enough to navigate this.]

...I'm mad at you, you know.

[He doesn't look mad as he talks, he just looks sad.]

I was supposed to die, not you.

Week 7, Friday

[aono]

[PSPSPSPSPS YUKIO GET OUT HERE, YOUR BROTHER IS LOOKING FOR YOU]

[reflash]

[He's here!!!! He's not trying to hide or anything, just making sure his first aid kit is ready to go for whatever chaos is going to happen (is this the fifth time he's checked his first aid kit? possibly).]

Week 7, Saturday

[aono]

[Well. That happened. And everything's alright in the end, so after Rin has some time to cool off he'll go looking for Yukio again.]

Hey. Sorry I yelled at you today.

[Yep. He always comes back to say sorry.]

[reflash]

It's all right. [He says, and he's a lot more relaxed than earlier today. They probably both are.]

After all, you couldn't see anything that happened here, while we had nothing better to do than watch all of you.
