Gestirn 18 [Video//At about 12:20]

[Alfons' eyes are on the clock across the room.  He's sitting at the kitchen table and Bär is cuddled up against his chest, nuzzling under his chin.  The animal can feel Alfons' anxiety, his stress.  He hasn't taken his eyes off of the clock or moved from stroking his beloved pet since before midnight, since he saw Alphonse--

[Video] DO NOT HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH ICON FOR THIS

[Holding up a bedazzler gun with gems placed underneath it, Ai's finger is on the trigger pressing it rapidly as she looks at Alfons.]

God, I got this...sudden urge...to...beautify everything. Everything! EVERYTHING SHOULD DAZZLE~!

[Video] OH GOD FFFFF

[blau_rakete]

[Alfons has no idea what that contraption is. But it can't be good.]

V-Vhat?

SPARKLE BABY! SPARKLE!

TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT! GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEE!

[Reaches out with one palm flat open near the PCD screen with a crazy look on her face.]

[He's incredibly close to the PCD, just to see what the hell all this screaming is about.]

Uh... Ai? Going a little insane?

[Says the boy who hears voices and doesn't question it anymore.]

[blau_rakete]

I-I am not sure...

[A nervous laugh as Alfons wrings his hands together in front of himself, trying to keep them busy so he doesn't touch Yuki again.]

I just... I have this urge to... it ist not just you. I vas petting Bär as vell, but now you are there, so...

M-Maybe it ist another event? But usually they are not so close together und--

[Without even realizing it, Alfons' hand moves and, again, is in Yuki's hair.]

[Alfons blinks down, then groans when he hears the small pop. At least it won't be quite as awkward to give into those strange urges now...]

Es tut mir leid.

[Another sigh and he picks Yuki up, going to sit down on the couch with the boy--... rat?--in one hand, his other hand gently stroking over his soft fur.]

[sauceytomato]

...Yeah.

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[blau_rakete]

[Quietly.]

He vill come back soon. Und vhatever the Animus take from him, he vill be strong und vork past it.

[If Alphonse and himself really are as alike as everyone seem to think they are, then he has no doubt that Al will be fine. He's worked past his own death and its consequences and Al can do just the same.]

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[sauceytomato]

[He's quiet for several minutes, and there's just a few quiet sniffles in there. Guess who's been crying?]

Hn...

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[blau_rakete]

[He still doesn't know Sasuke all that well, but he can't just sit there and listen to that.]

A-Are you going to be alright?

[Sasuke probably has other, closer friends to go to, but... the awkward, not-quite-said offer's there.]

[ebbxandxflow]

Yeah. Thankfully.

This place is bad, but... at least people can live here when they... cease to exist where they're from.

[That thought makes him shiver every time. He'd still be alive back home, but he'd be on his way to dying again, just like when he got to Adstringendum. Hell, he still is, he's still sick, but... at least he can't die in the true sense of the word, it's not permanent there.]

Ve really are lucky to be here, some of us.

Alfons.

[blau_rakete]

[Responds a while later, once he's managed to pull himself away from petting Yuki.]

H-Hallo...

[Why yes, he's a little embarrassed that everyone seems to have seen him petting his housemate, fff.]

[lady_drakin]

We are still here.

[Blinks, then nods and smiles warmly.]

Ve are.
