( . . .

what. is he reading this right? )

[secare]

( is this a fucking IOU to get him a car?!

he sucks in a breath as he rereads it at least four times. grateful tears prick at the corners of his eyes.

holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit. )

this is the first time this has been a happy icon

[secare]

I—

( he starts as his expression pinches up, desperately trying to not to become a crying mess. hands still clutching at the construction paper, he turns towards his parents. )

Thank you!! I can't believe—What!

( and then he's practically propelling himself forward to hug the both of them. )

and the last

[wherethewildthingsare]

[He expected THIS, so come here Marcell and Yukine.]

Come on now, alright, alright..

[fairhands]

[ He knew this was already going to happen -- had since Ichirou suggested they could get Yukine a car for his birthday. He hugs Yukine and lets himself get pulled in by Ichirou. ]

Happy birthday, Yukine.

BRUTAL

[secare]

( stop pegging your son as weepy. sure, it's absolutely true and as his parents they are intimately familiar with it, but it wouldn't hurt to lie a little. act surprised!

meanwhile, it's time for gross clinging while yukine tries to figure out how to get his throat to work again. he only manages a few broken "thank you"s.

then after a moment, when he's a little more composed— )

Are you gonna teach me how to drive?

( looking at marcell. )

[fairhands]

Of course. I don't trust your father to be able to teach you everything.

[wherethewildthingsare]

I could teach him just fine!

But yes, we're going to teach you, and once you have your license we'll go pick out a car together.

[fairhands]

You can't even parallel park, dear.

[secare]

( laughs. )

We can all do it together.

( then a pause. )

But I guess we should wait until it gets light again? Unless you guys feel safe like that?

( it's been dark for two solid days by now. yukine can only been getting by because he's mostly kept inside or with an army of flashlights. )

[wherethewildthingsare]

I can park!

[He can't.

Marcell has had to switch places with him and do it before.]

...Well, night-practice is good, anyway...

[fairhands]

You can't, dear.

...Well, since we'll be there it should be fine.

[secare]

( another laugh. he's seen his dad's pathetic attempts at trying to park the car before. )

I do feel safe if it's the both of you.

When do you wanna go?

( cuz he'll blow off anything for it. )

AS SOON AS HE GETS IT

[secare]

KAZ
KAZZZ

[judgementkazzy]

Hey, Yukine!
Happy birthday!
Did you get the present I sent?

[secare]

( . . . )

「 How do you feel about that? 」

( somehow that seems like the most important question to ask. )

[goen]

[ He settles back on his pillow. ]

「 I dunno. I know I'm not the same as that person. Or at least... I'm not that person yet.

I thought murdering people was a fun game as a kid in that life. "Nature vs. nurture" is usually a big debate, but with me, it was nature all the way. Makes me wonder if it's my nature now too. I'm not itching to cause a massacre or anything, but killing my boss... it wasn't fun, but I still did it. And it felt like an accomplishment. 」

[ His head tilts, looking back to Yukine. ]

「 I'm not happy about it, but I'm not really upset either. I guess I just feel out of touch. 」

[secare]

How does it not?! You think theivery is gonna help you?

( not giving him the camera though. )

I think you should just explain yourself!!

[secare]

why did you? someone to save?

hmm
i dunno

[maskreant]

i didn't want to turn my eyes away from the truth and wanted the world to be free or something. the god wanted to control humanity.

it's weird to consider i did all of that.

[goen]

[ YEAH HE SEES THAT CAMERA STILL IN YOUR HANDS, PUNK. ]

Like it said, it was being used for nefarious purposes! Against Anya, no less! The guy was lucky I didn't phone him in to the police!

[wherethewildthingsare]

I park fine!

[He grumbles.]

Hmmm...we can go on the weekend, in the evening. That'll get you used to average traffic.

[fairhands]

I had to swap seats with you before.

[ Just saying. ]

...But yes, that sounds fine.

[secare]

Awesome.

( quietly, kind of breathed out because he still can't believe that they're going to take him out to do this. )

Does this mean I should start picking up Mom from work once I get my license?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Yes, definitely.

We'll even pay for the parking sticker so you can drive to school.
