...Um... if anyone finds Kamina in the woods - I mean, if he comes back soon, and-

...

[Sob, and he was just taken. The chance of him being brought back so soon... even Kamina isn't that lucky. He's just desperately hoping he doesn't get sent home.]

...A-anyway, if you see him, please let me know...

[Simon's a little drowsy today; he's spent the last night and day hunting around for his bro, so he's cold, tired, and more than a little depressed. He'll be staggering back to C7 early this morning, don't mind him.

Mm... morning. [Simon rubs idly at his eyes, then reaches out to take Ion by the hand, tugging him inside so he can shut the door. And hopefully make it back to the couch before collapsing or something.] It's okay, you shouldn't push yourself.

[Action]

[distressedude]

I should be the one saying that to you.

[He's not letting go of that hand anytime soon, even after he makes sure Simon gets to the couch safely.] Did you stay out all night?

[Action]

[Simon doesn't mind, tugging Ion to sit with him. There's room for two after all.]

I wanted to look for him... but that's all I found. [With his free hand, he points to the massive katana on the kitchen table.]

[Oh, of course Ion is sitting right beside Simon. Just in case the other boy is tired and wants to lean on him or something.

[He glances at the sword as Simon points it out. He frowns, but when he turns back to Simon, it's with a comforting smile.]

I'm sure he'll be fine, Simon. [He reaches over and puts a hand on Simon's shoulder.] He is Kamina, after all... right?

[It takes a moment or so, but Simon does finally slump over, shoulder against Ion's.]

Yeah... Kamina's always okay. I don't know how he does it.

[Action]

[distressedude]

He's strong. [Gently squeezing Simon's hand.] Just like someone else I know.

[kjhdslkjlkf.] I... I'm not strong. Not like him...

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Shaking his head.] That's not true. I think there's more to strength than just being physically strong.

You're very strong, Simon.

[Action]

[Simon relents then, too tired to argue, and a little smile crosses his lips. He snuggles a little closer to Ion, just glad that he's here.]

I can only be strong... when I have someone important to me close by.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Well, that's just going to make him blush.]

[Ion doesn't reply, but he does wrap his arm around Simon's shoulders, fully enjoying the closeness.]

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Yesss, cuddling, get. Simon's usually pretty shy, but being tired and so close already, he just makes himself comfortable and lets himself doze a little. It's nice... spending this time with Ion. It makes the pain of losing Anise and missing Kamina so close together that much more bearable.]

[Action]

[distressedude]

[While Simon is dozing off, Ion starts idly playing with a few strands of his hair.]

You can take a nap if you're tired, Simon. [Smile.] I'll still be here for you when you wake up.

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Mm... okay. Thanks, Ion... you're always helping me. [Which is about all he can manage before he curls up closer and drifts off to sleep completely. He'll be napping for a good long while, so hopefully Ion is comfortable enough.]

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Ion's comfortable enough with Simon resting on him like this. And even if he weren't, a little discomfort is a small price to pay for helping Simon cheer up.]

[If Simon sleeps long enough, eventually Ion will fall asleep as well, becoming progressively more cuddly as time goes on.]



[...hopefully they don't fall off the couch.]
