tearduct | akira & gideon

I get it.

[Both sides really, but a lot of Harrow’s side because he has unfortunately taken on the burden of humanity, and the world, and also carrying a certain someone else’s emotions like it’s somehow his job.]

You talked to Ryo about this.

[she rubs at her wrists, almost absently. pops her knuckles.]

I did, yeah. Before I knew the two of you were fighting or whatever. I don't want him to rot, either.

It’s okay. I don’t want him to either.

[Softly, sincerely.]

He asked me if I would go to another world with someone else if it was possible.

I offered him a place to go. He said he wasn't sure he was interested, but he wanted you to have the chance.

[a pause, and then she reaches out to grab at him. sit down with her.]

[He puts his drink down near him so he can sit with her.]

He told me. I said I wasn't sure what everything would be like, or if I'd ever make it, but... I'd think about it. He said he wanted me to be okay even if he went back, but I...

[He frowns and looks away.]

I was an idiot, and I got upset about that too. Because I thought he was trying to keep me as a replacement in case the Akira he went back to died, too.

[she rests her head on his shoulder, if he lets her.]

It's not like I can blame you. I've got something like fifteen years of assuming the worst, too.

[lmao]

That's not the impression I got from him. I do think he's going about it like a fucking moron, though.

[Of course he will let her. And also on too of that already, it’s touch week. He puts his head on top of her head.]

Thank God I’m not the only one. I was starting to this I was. There are so many people here exactly like him, and I thought I was the one going crazy.

[she barks a laugh at that.]

He and Harrow are really similar. So no, you're not crazy.

I know, tell me about it… [He nudges her gently.] It sounds like you’re getting along better with her, though.

Right?

I'm not going to brag about it when you're having issues, loser.

I don’t mind, dumbass. I think it’s good.

[she elbows him.]

She's the worst. [and also her favorite.]

[Ow!!

He elbows back.]

Ryo, too. So what else you got?

[ow!!]

I don't know - nothing, really. It's the same as it was, I'm just allowed to hold her hand now.

[He raaaaisseeee his brows and waggles them.]

Hand holding, huh? What about kissing? It’s not legit until there’s kissing.

[she pushes his fucking face!!!!!]

Yeah, yeah, I've kissed her. What, did I not tell you?

[His head is being pushed, but he still looks shocked.]

What?! No way! Gideon! You’ve been holding out on me, what the hell?! Have you really kissed…?!

[I'M LAUGHING gideon looks a little embarrassed but.]

Well - she kissed me first, but I usually do it more, now.

[He shoves at her hands so he can look at her.]

She kissed you first?! No shit?

[NOT THE BABY ICON]

Yeah - yeah, a few weeks ago. She drank the no filter drink and it - you know.

[this is too embarrassing, apparently]

[it was the only one that conveyed his surprise

He blinks, and then he laughs even if there is a tiny hint of nervousness at the end.]

She told you everything, huh?

[why is he nervous]

I also told her everything. [she will not be telling him what that is but listen] It's the only time the drinks have done anything good for me.

[no reason

He smiles weakly, but it’s genuine and in his eyes.]

I’m glad. It’s nice, right? I mean, you two are good?

[what do you mean no reason]

... We are, yeah. It's a little weird sometimes but I'm getting used to it.

[😃]

I’m happy for you. [He nudges her gently, then grins a bit.] I told you so.
