So wait, have you never drank before? At all?

[redstray]

Once.

[chickshades]

With Fujishima-kun?

[redstray]

[ He shakes his head ]

They thought it would be fun one day, to see how I acted drunk when I was twelve. They shoved bottles of alcohol down my throat until they decided it was enough.

[ His voice was quiet and began to feel as if he was going farther away, distancing himself from the story. ]

At first they thought it was funny as they tried to get me to obey their commands, but once they got bored they began to make their own fun. My owner...he began to...

[ He shook his head, closing his eyes. ]

I don't remember, but I woke up the next day barely able to move. One guy came and dragged me down the stairs to get me to work. I was so sick I puked on someone. That meant the cage for 2 days.

I don't like alochol

[chickshades]

Ah...

[ He blinks, pretty much speechless at that. Damn, despite what Eric said earlier, he really feels like his life is great compared to that. ]

Good thing Mikoto-san already took care of them.

[ He rubs at the back of his neck, feeling a little awkward. He's not super great at consoling people either. ]

I won't bug you about drinking anymore.

[redstray]

[ They each have a different pain. Bandou his family. Eric his past. But Eric couldn't even begin to feel what Bandou had gone though, for having ones own family not want you. That must have been truly painful. ]

They are gone now and that helps. But...the best help I've been tiven is through Homra, and everyone in it. Because if that...I think...I'm a bit better. Just like you are.

[ He gives out a small chuckle. Light and short ]

Thank you. And I won't bug you when you drink...useless you're angry. If...if that's alright?

[chickshades]

Deal.

[ He grins at that laugh. It was nice when the quiet kid opened up a bit. ]

You're a cool guy, Eric. I'm glad you joined us.

[redstray]

[ At the compliment Eric froze. His face reddened and he hastily brought up a hand to put up his hood. He's never been called cool before. ]

...Glad you all..let me join...

[chickshades]

Hey, if Mikoto-san didn't think you were good enough, you wouldn't have gotten the insignia.

[redstray]

[ His face would've been melted off instead ]

Yeah.

[ There's a small smile, happy that he can be a part of group that was really good to him. He blinked, thinking of something so he turns to the older one, tilting his head. ]

Hey...Bandou...How did you join Homra?

[chickshades]

I worked for Kusanagi-san for awhile. Cleaning glasses in the back.

[ He begged him for a job, but he leaves that bit out. Also, who needs to know about him getting fired for breaking things? ]

Totsuka-san stopped me one day on my way out and asked if I wanted to join.

[ He does pause there, frowning and looking to the side. ]

I'd wanted to before but didn't think it'd work out.

[ In other words, he was afraid of not being accepted there, either. ]

[redstray]

Heh...Bandou is a noisy idiot.

[ He also knows that feeling. He wasn't sure if he was going to be accepted or not. He could never ask if he could join, maybe that's why Mikoto just straight up put him in. ]

But, he's a good noisy idiot. One that Homra enjoys being around.

[chickshades]

[ What about when Eric said it was better without Bandou there ;A; Bandou was about to defend himself against being called noisy and an idiot, but then Eric got to that last part. He smiled, gratefully. ]

Yeah?

[redstray]

[ It's called teasing and Bandou is just so easy ]

Yeah.

[chickshades]

It's good to hear sometimes, you know?

I love our threads theyre always so long

[redstray]

[ He nods ]

I know

i reread them all the time <3 and i didn't even realize how long this one had gotten!

[chickshades]

[ His smile is interrupted by a long yawn. ]

You can spend the rest of the night here if you want.

Same<3 I love em all (I still wanna do more of that AU if you still want to)

[redstray]

Ah, yeah...thanks.

[ He moves his hand as if to grab a hold of Bandou's sleeve but retraces his hand back a bit embarrassed. ]

Uhm...

Which one? lol there's so many threads

[chickshades]

Hm?

[ Why you so shy still, Eric? ]

The Eric was longer in Hikawa one

[redstray]

You can stay here...If you want to sleep...

[ He was trying to ask if he could stay with him. With everything that happened and the little sleep he was worried a bit something bad might happen. ]

...Up to you...

the one where he kidnapped bandou?

[chickshades]

Where are you gonna sleep then?

Yes!

[redstray]

[ He jumps a bit ah right well...he just buries into his hoodie and gives a shrug. ]

D-doesn't matter...

yes! I was loving that one!

[chickshades]

You could take Shouhei's room if you want. I don't think he's moving any time soon.

[ He frowns suddenly, looking down at Shouhei. The way he'd worded that last sentence felt odd. He moves his hand to fidget with his hat, only to not find it there. So he awkwardly runs his fingers through his black hair, instead. ]

Same! I wanna see it developed more XD /quietly goes over to reply to it.

[redstray]

Uhm...okay...

[ He shivers a bit, looking back up to watch Bandou play with his hair. He shuffles a bit, half trying to stand half waiting to see what Bandou was going to do. ]

I'm rereading the whole thing now XD

[chickshades]

Or uh... we could all just stay out here?

[ He could bring some pillows out. Hell, even drag the mattresses off the beds. Just, for some reason it felt like he wanted the both of them where he could see them. ]
