@musedbykitten​ said: “you’re not a monster.” Yuki

A faint chuckle left her as she gently mussed the teenager’s hair where he sat at the table, taking advantage of this rare instance of having a head or two over her adopted child, “If that’s Akito’s attempt at creativity, I have to wonder if he’s feeling unwell again.”

@musedbykitten​ said: “I have to decline on moral grounds.” Yuki

“That’s about what I thought you’d say - did you hear that, Akito? My son isn’t coming to the estate this year, and should you persist in harassing him, I’m taking out a restraining order.”

@musedbykitten​ said: “I thought you were asleep an hour ago.” Yuki

She glanced up at the teenager, offering him a small smile, “I don’t tend to sleep when Hatori is away, so I thought I would get to some work out of the way while I’m awake,” she motioned to the empty space beside her, inviting the boy to take a seat.

“Though, I could say the same for you, given it’s a school night - bee in your bonnet, dear?”

“Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living.” Yuki

She hated the fact that Hatori came to mind when he said that - did he know? …no, she didn’t think he did - the boy didn’t feel the type to mince words, and be cryptic about such things.

“…or try to…and hope that reason doesn’t vanish before your eyes.”

She wondered who among the Sohma men had passed along her address - her money was on Hatsuharu, but still, she found herself allowing the boy inside; she sat and she listened to him speak - she was far from anyone who should be doling out advice...but still...she could understand how he felt.

“It’s easier isn’t it...being alone - no one can hurt you but you that way...and you can tell yourself you’re used to the lonelinesss but when you’re around warm people, it really drives home just how much pain you’re really in.”

She shook her head as she scraped the sad remnants out of the pan and into the trash - wasteful? Yes...but she doubted it would even make for good compost.

“...we’ll remake it together; being able to cook for yourself is an important life skill everyone should know.”

It had been four days at this point and she still couldn’t walk unassisted, despite starting to regain some of her energy back; when the boy had dropped so suddenly in the corridors, she used her reserves to get up from the futon and over to him, though they depleted quickly and her knees wound up buckling and nearly made her crash into him before she leaned against the wall for support.

“...you should know, I can tell when people lie...your color is terrible, and someone whose only slightly ill wouldn’t collapse like that.” she murmured, pushing herself further upright to give the boy some space, “He went to give Akito a check up about thirty minutes ago - said something about a fever, so he should be back soon.”
