...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.

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?

[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.

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.

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]
