You think? I dunno. It makes sense to me. [swords are people too.] A strong-willed spirit is always going to want some sort of freedom, I think. Even if they do use that freedom to choose to be loyal to their master. And with how much you guys have lived through...
[unfortunately for them, this is the perfect time for some stardust and for them to lose all credibility as tsuru sees a memory.
Youâre suddenly hugged so hard you think your ribs might crack. You wheeze, feebly slapping your dumb, beefy friend in the arm so heâll let go of you but at the same timeâŚyou think you might be happy.
Then againâŚthereâs maybe someone less happy in your presence, given that heâs standing in the doorway of his own sleeping quarters. He catches your eyes, a stern frown on his face as he points to the ground near his feet. The message is clear. âYou. Here. Now.â
You excuse yourself, crossing the lawn to head toward the other boy. You try not to judge him for wearing a surgeonâs smock and flip flops, but you canât help it.
âSo where were you?â He asks immediately, and youâre dumbstruck. You have no idea what heâs talking about, and when you express your confusion he huffs. âIâve been stuck in the infirmary for, like, two days. You donât come by. You donât offer to help.â
And that confuses you further. Why the hell would anyone want that? Why would anyone want you around people theyâre trying to save? You barely even register that youâre voicing these same concerns until he continues ranting at you.
âYou canât help out a friend? Maybe cut bandages? Bring me a soda or a snack? Or just a simple âhowâs it going?â You donât think I could stand to see a friendly face?â
âWhatâŚmy face?â
You canât believe it. People never think of you as a friendly person, let alone people like him. He carries on, scolding you for your stupid idea of leaving and even when you tell him you plan on staying, his only response is to say youâre still dense even if youâre not a complete idiot. You think about the fact that there are patients he should be attending to, but here you are, having the stupidest conversation in the world.
âHow can you even talk to me like that?â You ask. âDonât you know that I can-â
âRight now, you couldnât do any of that without melting. I told you, no more of that. Doctorâs orders. You owe me at least three days of rest in the infirmary. Starting now.â
âŚyou catch his eyes again, and for a brief moment it feels like youâve been suckerpunched. Your stomach squirms, palms a little sweaty, mouth dry as your brain fires off thousands of thoughts that all seem to lead to the same place.
âHe likes my face. He wants me to stay with him.â
âŚyou really would have to be an idiot to say no to that. And so you donât. Three days? You suppose that would be okay.

Unfortunately. [charming. ] ...we've been together for a while now. That was before then.
no subject
That's wonderful! He seemed very strong-willed!
no subject
Yeah, well....he's incredibly stubborn. Always has been. But I guess that's part of the appeal.
no subject
Mm. It's good to have someone like that... they tend to kick you into gear when needed.

I do hope you're happy.
no subject
Happy enough, sure. But I think we all want that for people, don't we?
no subject
But I think it's normal to want a friend to be happy.

Are we friends suddenly? [they sound...a little amused, and a little confused.]
