You were doing fine before I got here. You'll be okay when I leave early.

[aididitmyway]

How do you know I wasn't just pretending? I'm happy with Kazuha, but...

It's not the same.

[aiwillneversmile]

[said with failing confidence:]

Then, you'll work hard to earn points, wake up, and join me.

[aididitmyway]

...

Aqua, can I borrow your phone for a second?

[aiwillneversmile]

Why . . . ?

[aididitmyway]

I want you to have some good selfies of us so you don't forget me.

[aiwillneversmile]

[does not believe that for a second, but he gives her his phone from home, not his suisui one]

How can I forget you, I'm probably going to find you in my bed again . . .

[aididitmyway]

Your other phone, I want to make sure you feel guilty whenever you look at it for leaving your precious, sweet sister.

[aiwillneversmile]

My other one is staying here. And, no, you're not getting it.

[aididitmyway]

Not even for pictures? Come on. I won't look at the camera roll.

[aiwillneversmile]

There isn't anything on the camera roll, anyway. I delete most of my pictures.

You can be honest and say that you're after my points. But I'm not letting you touch them.

[aididitmyway]

Not even if I needed something?

[aiwillneversmile]

Of course, I'd give you some or buy what you needed. But you aren't hurting for anything right now.

[aididitmyway]

How do you know I'm not?

[aiwillneversmile]

Because you're not injured or starving.

Ruby, I'm not going to leave without telling you first. Plus, you've got a lot of time to catch up with me before that.

[aididitmyway]

I'm starving for my brother's attention.

[:(!!!!!]

[aiwillneversmile]

I am right here. And we live together. You're not starving; you're practically feasting.

[aididitmyway]

I'm thinking about the future! The future without you!

[aiwillneversmile]

. . . You don't plan on catching up, do you.

[aididitmyway]

I'm using this unexpected break to work on myself, so... catching up would mean I have less time.

[to, you know, not be a total mess in distress or whatever]

[aiwillneversmile]

[makes every annoyed and displeased face under the sun, just a good long stretch of doing the math around this . . . before sighing with a hand in his hair]

You could have said that before I've done countless shameless things to leave this place.

1/2

[aididitmyway]

[What kind of shameless things have you done Aqua??? Wait not important right now]

[aididitmyway]

[she bites back the "no one made you do those things but you" comment]

It's not like I was doing all that great back home... so...

[aiwillneversmile]

[clever girl]

. . . I know. I'm sorry for pushing you again.

[aididitmyway]

... Don't apologize for that. I just... need to do things at a different pace than you.
