messianic: (i wanted a transplant)

day 41, during the death game (but coming through after)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Akira? You there?
messianic: (Ready and poised to wax or wane;)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Fran-san? Hello?

Ugh yeah that'd be too convenient, huh?
messianic: (when they moan)

like, 2 hours later, also Done.

[ ... ... .... .... ]

Hang in there, Akira. It's going to be okay. No matter what.
messianic: (it sits outside my window now)

[ there is a long pause while Minato deals with Lumine's monster, but after all of that-- ]

diner
messianic: (and nothing larger)

[ minato is sitting at a booth! His head is down on the table and he looks like he was contemplating life--but he sits up quickly when he sees Akira.

And it's probably because he's still shellshocked, but: ]

You... Fran-san changed again.

[ his tone is almost dreamily wondering. ]
messianic: (And your bright Promise)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah.

That--feels very real and tangible, and after a single beat, Minato hugs back, burying his face against the side of Akira's. ]

... Hey. It's really, really good to see you.
messianic: (Between the idea)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Minato just holds Akira even tighter at the shaking, reaching up with a hand to gently stroke his hair. ]

Yeah. I'm safe. I'm okay. It's okay.
messianic: (They use that power against me)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... He doesn't pause in his ministrations at all. Because really-- ]

I know.

We all knew... that we probably were going to be trusted by both Kraken and Bugbear.

[ "Trusted"--is how he's choosing to look at it. ]

But... you guys came through for us, didn't you?
messianic: (in my marrow and if)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
... It was a good gamble to take. You protected Bugbear, right?

[ Because Cerberus' attack wasn't neutralized. ]

That saved so many people.
messianic: (my petty traumas still)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... his expression softens further, and he shifts his hands from Akira's hair and around his back to instead cup his cheeks. ]

Hey... none of that. Your choice didn't get Tsuchigumo killed. Your choice was only to protect someone--and you saved two teams with that.

Without that... and without Fran-san... we would've all been much worse off.
messianic: (Half bitterness we know)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I get that.

That's the case for everyone, you know? If Bugbear wants to be mad at us for picking Kraken instead, even though we knew they'd pick us too... they can. Or if Bugbear wants to be mad because so many people did pick them, despite last game--

... We'll all take those feelings and help carry them. That's the least we can do.
messianic: (On every trip you stay ahead of me.)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Quietly, Minato just strokes his thumbs over Akira's cheekbones, humming softly. ]

... It's not that there's no point. And it's not that those feelings aren't valid, because they are.

But... we all made our choices. We have to hold onto them and learn from them and grow from them... because I think otherwise it could be a little insulting to everyone else.
messianic: (The lights glinted off your glasses.)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Minato immediately inclines his head into that touch, eyes fluttering as he soaks it up.

Mmm... ]

Not sure yet. I mean--I'm okay. I think we're all okay. We knew what was going to happen, so we had time to come to terms with it. So, um... I guess it's just kind of... surprising?

I'll check in with everyone after we're all done running around making sure our loved ones are okay.
messianic: (Between the idea)

[personal profile] messianic 2022-05-02 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
We were saying that about you guys.

[ His lips twitch in faint amusement. ]

That we should invite all of Echidna over to dinner after this for a cozy night. Now that you've all saved us... there's even more reason for that.
