[OOC THIS IS HORRIBLE AND RUSHED AND I CAN"T DO SHIT]
Eric stared straight ahead of him into the woods at the park. It was summer so he wasn’t bothered by the weather, not that he would mind it at other times. He had been there for a couple of hours now, he wondered if he should go back or not…
“Mind if I join you?”
Eric jumped and spun around, almost jumping up from the bench and bolting before he noticed who the person was. The smiling and hair gave it away.
“…Do what you want” He paused. “Totsuka-san…”
“Thank you, thanks.” The older man walked the rest of the way and plopped down beside the blond. “Ah, this is the place you tried to kill me, right?”
Eric slumped, tugging his hood over his eyes. “S-sorry…” Did he have to remind him about that, especially today?
“It’s fine it’s fine, it worked out pretty well in the end.” Totsuka laughed lightly, turning his attention upwards to look at the stars. Eric continued to look straight ahead, trying his best to pretend the other wasn’t there.
A few minutes of silence, Totsuka finally glanced back at Eric. “Kusanagi-san was pretty angry with you and Yata, huh?”
He stiffened at the reminder. “He started it…” He muttered, turning his head to look away.
“Ah but, you didn’t help with the situation, did you?”
Eric slumped even further into the bench.
It had been a boring day at Homra and one remark from Yata caused Eric to retaliate, one thing led to another and they had gotten into a scuffle which proceeded into damaging a stool in the bar. Kusanagi was less then pleased. Eric left before he had a chance to hear the bartender’s wrath.
Totsuka continued to smile. “It’s quite a nice day to be outside though. Lots of stars out.”
Eric glanced upwards, noting the dots in the sky. “Mm.”
“There are a lot of them out there that we can’t even see. It’s like there’s a star for each of use you know?” He glanced back at Eric. “What do you see when you see them, Eric?”
Eric tilted his head at the question. When he had been in Hikawa, if he had a window to look out of he always looked out at the stars. They were out there and he was in here and he wanted to give anything he could to be out there with them “Dots. Just dots.”
Totsuka looked a little disappointed. “Is that right?”
Eric shrugged.
They stayed in a few minutes of more silence before Totsuka stood, smiling as always. “Maybe we should head back. I don’t think Kusanagi-san is angry anymore. He looked worried when you didn’t come back right away.”
He doubted that, but then why would Totsuka be here if someone wasn’t at least wondering where he was. Eric looked up at the man and paused before he nodded and got up from the bench as well. He waited for Totsuka to start moving so he could follow behind, but when the other didn’t move and instead waited for him, Eric began to walk beside Totsuka, heading back to the bar.
