[Open rl - FEEL FREE TO VISIT] backdated to the 27

[clockmaster]

His father was talking about something or other. He would usually be paying attention, yet there were times when he did get lost in his thoughts, today was one of those days. He was lost in his thoughts looking to Aoko on the other side of the room sleeping in the bed, even if he was as tired as her, Hakuba was fully awake and couldn't sleep at all.

Kenji stopped talking realizing that he wasn’t paying attention. The silence however brought Hakuba back to reality and he was ready to apologize, but his father smiled and stood up. Kenji kissed his bandaged forehead carefully and murmured something about the case. The guards on the door of their room saluted his father as he went out to attend the paperwork as fast as possible.

Hakuba looked at the ceiling, careful not to move his broken arm much, and sighed.

"Why?" she asked, suddenly suspicious. "You've never had qualms with it before..."

Hakuba looked at his hands, avoiding her piercing eyes. I want to remember that."

Okay, now Akako was very confused. "Remember what?"

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

He wasn't sure how to explain it to her. It sounded, in fact, a bit stupid in his head. He didn't wanted her to cure his arm because the pain remind him that he was alive, and remind him his mistakes, that he was not good enough and that Vermouth tricked them. He needed to remember because he didn't wanted to make the same mistakes again.

"I need to remember what happened so it will not happen again." He o¡confessed int eh end.

Akako's expression softened, and she leaned forward to kiss Hakuba's cheek tenderly, careful to avoid his bruises. "Saguru..." he said, "There is no need to punish yourself for something that isn't your fault."

Hes using the puppy eyes on her~

Hakuba smiled at the kiss but it didn't reach his eyes. "It's not punishment, It's just that I need to remember." He looked pleading at her. "Can you do something for me instead? Hattori was shot three times trying to save us, he's here on another room. Can you help him?"

"You can remember without being in pain," Akako said, and she sounded annoyed. But at least he was giving her something to do. She wasn't in the business of helping other people for free, but if Hakuba wanted her to... well. Then she would.

"I will, as soon as I'm satisfied with your condition," the witch said as she put away her magic supplies.

"Thanks my love." Hakuba smiled and moved his unharmed hand to caress her cheek. "I will be released today, they just wanted to keep an eye on me because of the concussion:"

Akako's expression softened. "I am pleased to hear that," she said, "Will you be returning home with your father?"

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

The boy relaxed. "Yes, even if he didn't showed it he was worried too. I would love company..:"

"You don't think he would mind if I stayed with you for a while?" the witch asked.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Of course no, why they would?" Hakuba scooted away, making place for her in the bed. "My father adores you."

Akako gently slipped into the bed with Hakuba, wrapping her long, slender arms around his waist and hugging him tightly. "I'm glad," she said, and she kissed his neck.

It was a bit too tightly for his own comfort, but he was not goign to complain because he was the one who didn't wanted to be healed.

Hakuba hugged her back, enjoying her warm body next to him.
