housewolf | And then they were cloommates

Yes, I do. You were both very young when you first met, hm?

The one and only time I ran away from home, I ran into him.

Fate has a strange way of bringing you the people you need. And what did he say, that he ran away plenty of times before?

Was it fate...?

Yeah. He was a real trouble maker.

What, was it not?

[A laugh.]

You were too, running from home.

I never thought of it like that before.

[Fate feels like such a heavy word. Isn't it just a series of coincidences that lead people to each other.]

I didn't even realize I was running away from home until later.

...How does one not realize they're running from home?

It sounds stupid.

I went to go get groceries, but instead of going home, I walked the opposite direction once I had them. I think... I was mad at my family. I was doing all the housework and I guess... I just felt unappreciated.

Ahhhh. Just like a child would think. And I guess it worked out for you.

Eventually. Pops started doing some of the housework.

And then you never had to run away again, huh?

I didn't run from home again, but I did leave eventually. When I was twenty, I left to join the Mankai dorms.

At least by then my little brothers knew how to take care of the house.

And now, you're your own man! Isn't that nice?

[Is he?]

Yeah. It is.

Focus on that.

[And a brief kiss to the cheek.]

Focus on that, okay?

And you...?

[They draw back, giving Omi an odd look.]

...What about me?

How are you after all of this?

Oh. Well. Things were chaotic there at the end, but...it just seems like we have to expect it every time, now...

[no douman he asked about your FEELINGS]

... I meant your feelings. How are you feeling?

Does it matter? Its the end of a day. I guess I'm feeling tired.

... Yeah. Me too.

Want to get some rest? Sleep does good for the mind.

Yeah. I think we could both use it.

[He'll get up and take their hand.]

We could.

[And oh! Hand holding. That's nice.]

Your hands are warm...
