Characters: Kidou Yuuto and Sakuma Jirou (Closed) Kidou Yuuto and you! (Open)
Setting: Room 2-08 and then Meadow
Format: Action bby but I'll do prose just for you ;)
Summary: Kidou received his Christmas present... and he's trying to deal with it.
Warnings: Depressed little shotas... and perhaps a little gore.



[He hadn't had bothered with changing clothes or anything in a few days since... well he's wearing practically all of the clothes he owns because of the cold. So when Kidou woke up this morning and opened his trunk, he was a little surprised to find something new inside.

He pulled out a thin strip of wood, that has the words "Soccer Club" written on it in Japanese. It was no doubt the same one that used to be placed next to the door of his team's clubroom. To anyone else it probably doesn't mean anything to them, it's just a hunk of wood after all. But to Kidou, at the moment it was almost as important to him as his father's magazine.

A few tears start to trail down his cheeks, and he pulls his goggles off to wipe at his eyes, being careful around the empty eyesocket...

Wow, he really missed everyone in Raimon, and he didn't even realize it until now.]



[In the meadow today, there is a familiar dreaded boy kicking a soccer ball. He's already sweating and panting, it looks like he's been at it for a while now. He has a makeshift goal set up with one of his capes spread out like a line on one end of the field, and he dribbles the ball over and stops right in front of it, lifting his leg to kick it into the goal lines. There's a slight hesitation though, as the image of his happy-go-lucky captain appears in his mind, and he ends up kicking the ball way off his mark. He falls to his knees and hands and sits there for a moment, catching his breath as the sweat falls from his skin and drops onto the soft ground below.

After a few more moments, he shifts to sit up on his knees and looks at the ball that had rolled off to the side, his mouth turning into a frown as the oh so familiar phrase "Let's play soccer!" plays in his mind.

He shakes his head and stands up again, jogging over to where the ball was and picking it up to start dribbling again.

Feel free to bother him or ask if you can join, because he wouldn't mind some company!]

[Sakuma's always been a pretty light sleeper and any slight noise is bound to wake him up. So Kidou's rummaging in his trunk does just that. He opens his eyes and lifts his head a little, intending to see what his friend is up to before going back to sleep but seeing Kidou huddled over his trunk wiping at his eyes makes him do other wise.

Concerned, Sakuma sits up slowly, frowning at his friend in worry.]

Kidou, is everything alright?

[He stifles a yawn and scratches the back of his head, not really caring that he's messing his hair up even more.]

[pengeen]

[Kidou wipes his eyes a little more, and he nods.]

Yeah... sorry I woke you.

[He stands up and walks over to Sakuma's bed and holds out the sign to show him.]

I found this in my trunk...

[kickspenguins]

[He takes the sign from Kidou to study. It's fairly old and worn out but he can still make out the words 'Soccer Club' on it. This is definitely not from his school where everything is pristine and new.]

A club sign...?

[As he speaks, he looks up at his friend. When he does the words become stuck in his throat. His eyes widen in alarm.]

Kidou what's wrong with your eye?!

[pengeen]

[He was going to point out that it was Raimon's sign, but before he could, Sakuma had cut him short. Ah.. he totally forgot about it.

He looks to the side for the moment before pulling his goggles over his eyes again.]

... It's nothing serious, I don't want you to worry about it.

[kickspenguins]

How can I not worry.

[He's sitting up straighter now and looking at Kidou in concern. Nothing serious? It doesn't look like anything serious.]

When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me about it?

[pengeen]

I didn't tell you because I knew you would get upset. [He lets out a sigh and crosses his arms.]

It happened about a week ago. Urotsuki had caught the flu, so I went to the restaurant to get her some soup. I couldn't find what they wanted in return, and the next day while I was playing soccer with Genda, it just disappeared. It hurt though, and it started bleeding really badly as if it was actually ripped out.

[Romeo was in the meadow when he saw Kidou playing with the ball. He watched for a few moments before skipping over] Hey Kidou!

[pengeen]

[He stops dribbling and kicks the ball up, catching it in his hands and smiling.]

Yo.

[myblueskies]

[Wow that is amazing. Romeo has never seen anything like that before and he grins.] What are you doing Kidou?

[pengeen]

Soccer practice. [He holds the ball out to Romeo]

Have you played soccer before, Romeo?

[myblueskies]

[He shook his head.] I've never even heard of soccer! What is it?

1/2

[pengeen]

[Whoa hold on a sec there... never heard of soccer??

That apparently surprises Kidou quite a bit, because he drops the ball and sits there with his eyebrows quirked and his mouth agape.]

[pengeen]

[And after a moment:]

You.. haven't heard of it? [Soccer is such a big deal where he comes from, he can hardly believe Romeo hasn't even heard of it before!]

Meadow

[tohko_amano]

[At first, Tohko had wandered into the meadow with a copy of The Book Thief, hoping to read and take in the weather, but when she saw Kidou dribbling, she quickly ran from there and dashed off to the library, where she grabbed a copy of The Girl With The Hungry Eyes and to the workshop, where she quickly made a red cape. She made it back to the meadow just as Kidou was picking up the ball again.]

Hey, Kidou! I know it's late, but..Merry Christmas!

[So she'll yell as she runs up to him and gives him the book and the cape.]

[pengeen]

[He looks a bit surprised and places the ball on the ground to take the gifts.]

Thank you Tohko but you didn't have to give me anything...

[tohko_amano]

[And Tohko will just smile as he takes them.]

Probably not..but since you're my friend, I wanted to try giving you some presents. And thank you for your help when I was sick. I'm all better now!

[pengeen]

[He smiles softly.]

I wish I had something to give you in return...

But I'm very happy to hear that you're alright now.

[tohko_amano]

Oh, you don't have to give me anything. I wasn't expecting anything in return..but you and me both. It feels great to feel things and see without worrying about schizophrenia!

[pengeen]

Yeah... I bet it does. [Now let's hope they don't have another experiment like that again..]

[chainsawn]

[ With Urotsuki being Urotsuki, she doesn't immediately speak up to him. In fact, she's actually watching him doing it for a little while as if just that is already enough for her before she finally moves to approach him - even though she's already been watching him for what has probably been minutes.

But not taking the chance to speak up to her boyfriend entirely would be a shame, so.. ]

.. You're working hard today, Yuuto.

[pengeen]

[He stops dribbling when he hears her voice, and jogs over to her with a big smile on his face.]

I haven't been practicing enough, so I thought I should practice hard today to make up for it. [After a moment of hesitation, he pulls her over for a small hug.]

More importantly, I'm glad to see you're healthy again, Urotsuki. [Yeah sick and hallucinating Urotsuki was a bit scary, he was so worried about her...]

[chainsawn]

[ A hug? Well, don't mind it then if she moves to cling right back to him, a small smile appearing on her face as well. She seems content, either way, this close to him, just being held by him for a little bit.. If anything, she at least looks much better than she did while she was sick. ]

It's okay. It only lasted a little bit, right..?

[pengeen]

It did... but I was really worried about you. I was scared that you weren't going to get any better, and I couldn't really do anything to help you, either...

I don't want anything like that to happen to you again.

[chainsawn]

.. Did I do something wrong, Yuuto..? [ Even though she doesn't leave the hug, she still pulls her head back a little to look at him with a tiny worried frown on her face. ]

I'm sorry..

[pengeen]

No, you didn't do anything wrong, Urotsuki. [He pulls back a little to give her a slightly confused look.]

You don't have to apologize for getting sick, it's not something you can control, after all.
