The Hatchery had seemed like a logical place to go at the time; the conversations (if they could even be called that) on the journals had affected him more than he'd ever expected. It was infuriating how stupid people could be, that wasn't new, but the quick deterioration into hostile words had come surprisingly fast. Aurora was aware that he wasn't the most likable person, and normally he didn't care what people who didn't concern him thought. However, after what Asura had mentioned to him, that he was ( ... )

Sniper had been checking the Hatchery fairly frequently since Gundam died. This whole event had really fucked with his mind; between his twin not giving a shit, Gundam dying pretty much in his arms thanks to Raise's evil twin, and Bastet getting seriously hurt...well, he was more than ready to get this over with and have them go away. Shit, at this point he wanted a vacation.

He slogged his way to the Hall, gloved hands stuffed in his pockets to ward off the chill, frowning the whole way. He wanted everyone back in one piece, he wanted it now, and he didn't care how damned selfish he was for wanting that. It meant peace, and right now he could use some of that business.

As luck would have it, he walked in right as Gundam hatched...

...and launched a fist straight at Aurora.

Well, that was different ( ... )

Gundam immediately backed off a a few steps at the familiar voice, something painful lodging in his chest as he wiped quickly at his eyes, trying to clear them off the goop that obscured his vision while at the same time trying not to slip on the same goo under his feet. The fact that it was freezing and he was naked and vulnerable was now a secondary concern to the fact that he had just punched Sniper ( ... )

Not againThis had happened before. Aurora didn't know when, or why, or how, but he just knew there had been a time when Sniper had protected him, and a time when it had been Gundam's fault. They were only impressions that mixed together, an increasingly familiar sense of deja vu that meant his mind was recognizing something from his unknown past, but he didn't need images to feed the strong emotional response ( ... )

There was a certain element of deja vu going on here, but Sniper was a little more concerned with the fact that Aurora was getting hysterical (huh?) at Gundam for what was clearly an accident. The kid hadn't meant to launch an epic right hook at him, he was sure of that. So why freak out at him?

Did this happen before or something?

Why the hell didn't he remember that?

Meh.

"Geez, Aurora. I'm gonna have a black eye but it's fine. It'll take more than a punch to keep me down." He got himself up, reaching over to put a hand on Aurora's arm. "Calm down. It was an accident, it had to be; there's no way he could've done it deliberately fresh out of the egg with a double eyeful of glop." How the hell could Gundam have even seen him? Seriously, it was just an accident.

"Guys. Please. This is not the time to be arguing and freaking out over something like this, okay?" Gah. Helluva way to hatch.

Gundam met Aurora's eyes for a moment, his own expression going blank and cold as he considered the man's words. Something about being accused, especially in conjunction with something bad happening to Sniper... And most especially being accused by Aurora. It was so familiar.

It had happened before, he was sure. And that time it had been Gundam's fault too. Hadn't it? He couldn't remember.

But the fact remained that it was his fault this time, and there was no reason to argue that or try to justify his actions. That would merely be useless and self-indulgent ( ... )

Once Gundam broke their gaze, he turned and looked at Sniper with something a little more fragile in his eyes, confirming for himself that the other was fine. The touch to his arm seemed molified him and he felt a touch embarrassed at his outburst, but Aurora refused to own up and go back on what he'd said.

"You should have your eye looked at as soon as possible. The quicker you get some ice on it, the less swelling will occur." He looked briefly at Sniper's right eye, but for some reason he couldn't stand to look at it. It was as if something was wrong with it, but he couldn't put his finger on whatThe apology from Gundam caught his attention again, and Aurora felt satisfied at seeing that expression on his face; even if it had been an accident, he should feel ashamed at having hit an ally, especially Sniper ( ... )
