[Day 155] | Closed | see me fall down let me die here slowly
Who: Rin and Bon
Open: Closed
When: Day 155, late night
Where: The water's edge, on the other side of the Dragonfield
What: Rin has been internalizing a lot of hurt, anger, upset and personal disappointment for months now, and it's only getting worse. Short emotional outbursts aren't doing much at all to help her, and people are starting to notice. Especially a certain some one...
Format: Action
Warnings: As always, Rin is a warning unto herself.
[The pool of water that sat at the corner of the Dragonfield wasn't terribly large, barely big enough to be a lake but almost too big to be considered a pond, but it was still just as relaxing as anything larger would have been. The water lapped at the edges of the land gently, water reflecting a hazy sort of dark from the cloud cover ahead that indicated it was "night" within the Bastion. Behind where a certain half demon sat with her knees drawn to her chest, blue gaze staring distantly at the gently moving water, the lights of the safe haven glowed and some people milled about as the hours of the day wound down.
But she didn't seem to really notice them at all.
Hikaru's arrival the day before had been a good thing. A very good thing. He was alive, and Kaoru had his brother back. She was happy for them! She really was.
And yet... that ache in her chest had stayed even after she had parted ways with them.
Try as she might, she couldn't shake it. It just hurt too much, and it was a hurt she couldn't hide anymore, no matter how hard she tried. Her right hand clutched at the True Cross pin at her neck, holding on to it so tightly her knuckles turned white. No tears streaked her face or threatened her eyes right then, but who knew how much longer she was going to be able to hold that back.
Colin had said to her, more than once, that she needed to find a way to deal with all that was going on inside. There was truth in his words that she couldn't really ignore, but damned if she wasn't trying to. It wasn't just her failures, her mistakes. It was the lack of that presence in her life that had kept her grounded for fifteen years even when she screwed up, even when she stumbled over and over again. Three months, three long months without her sister was just to much. She had always scoffed at the idea that she needed anyone, least of all her family, but now that they were both gone it was like something had reached in to her very soul and ripped out the parts that she needed the most to move on.
And the more she felt like this, the more she found herself starting to gently push everyone else away. She would still be friendly with the people in the Bastion both new and old, but she could feel the urge to close herself off from all of them like she had when she was younger.
Which was what brought her out to the Dragonfield that night after work. She normally would have gone to the onsen and then to the apartments to spend time with Bon before bed, but tonight she simply left the kitchen and wandered for a bit before coming to stop there. It was getting late, and by then she assumed Bon would probably be asleep by the time she did finally go back.
That is if she didn't spend all night out there...]

[His grin is a little lopsided, but still clearly a happy one. That turned out way better than he was expecting.]
no subject
Her tail is wagging even more now.]
Y'look good when you smile like that.
no subject
Yeah, yeah. If you say so, Okumura.
...I should probably stop callin' you that, huh?
no subject
Yeah. I told you that a month ago.
no subject
[There is a pause before he speaks again.]
...Rin.
[It sounds almost weird, to say it without honorifics. But Bon never used honorifics with her last name, so.]
no subject
So... d'you want me to call you Ryuuji or should I stick with Bon?
no subject
Whatever you want to use, both are fine.
no subject
At least if he had to have a demon attracted to him, it's a cute, mostly harmless one?]
'kay. I kinda like Ryuuji...
[Oops that sure was a yawn.]
no subject
And when Rin yawns, he remembers that it is late and they are still outside.]
Want to go to bed? We can move into another place later.
no subject
Mm... yeah. It's pretty late, innit? We can go look at the tower tomorrow.
[After she goes and apologizes to Kaoru and Hikaru, that is.]
no subject
[Bon is going to stay around the Bastion until they leave for the Observatory, so he has time for whatever.
...though Rin is on him, so he can't go anywhere yet.]
You gotta get up first.
no subject
[Oh Rin...
But she does get up after that, holding out a hand for Bon.]
no subject
But ok he'll take her hand and pull himself up.
And then he remembers that they're outside.]
...think anyone saw?
no subject
But...]
... does it matter? What did I just say about actin' like a proper couple?
no subject
[He gestures towards Rin's skirt. He is pretty sure neither of them were making sure Rin-butt wasn't shown to the world while they were making out.]
no subject
[WELL.
Yeah now her face is a bit red as she's tugging down the back of her skirt a little.]
... th' only one out here is Paar and I think he's asleep. Or wouldn't care anyway.
