018 [Accidental Video] // It's too quiet....

Nov 01, 2009 12:56

[When the video switches on, it is pointed at a distant table. There is a man with spiky blond hair sitting at it, quietly working on a kunai, alternatively sharpening and cleaning the knife's blade. He is quiet, as is the rest of the entire apartment. His face cannot be seen, half obstructed by his bangs, half obstructed by the camera's viewpoint ( Read more... )

[It had been eerily quiet the entire day that Angeal was in and out of the apartment and he wasn't sure why it was until Minato's post. He was keeping busy to ignore the fact that Zack was gone, he didn't spend nearly as much time with his student as he wanted to. And even worse, he didn't say what he wanted to. He realized Naruto was gone, his signal nonexistent. The boy didn't run off after all.

He walked into the dining room, Minato repeating the same motions. Aged Boots were silent and worn clothing shifted softly. If anything, Angeal was unheard. Especially if Minato was distracted as he was a few days ago. Arms crossed in his mentor-like way as his head tilted and dipped slightly in the archway. Despite the normally aggressive stance, his voice was calm.] ... Minato?

[Even if he was surprised, Minato didn't jump or show surprise. He was not capable of that now. Minato lets out a sigh and glances up at Angeal with a weak smile.]

Hey, Angeal....

[It was a fake smile, he noted. One he had seen and used on one too many an occasion. The blond wasn't himself at all.]

Something the matter? [He already knew there was, but perhaps Minato was the type to talk things out?]

[Minato nods, that strange smile still on his face--although the corners almost turn down for a moment.]

... You already know the answer to that, don't you?

[There was a silent sigh as Angeal pushed himself out of the doorway and into a seat across from the woeful man.]

Of course I do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to sit by and let you be.

[Minato chuckles softly.]

I wouldn't expect you to. ... And I wouldn't want you to, either.

**comment log honoreverything November 2 2009, 01:35:43 UTC

So? [The question was blunt, but it left the range of topics open to Minato.]

**comment log foxtamer November 2 2009, 01:40:07 UTC

[Minato shakes their head.]

... They're really gone, aren't they?

**comment log honoreverything November 2 2009, 02:06:44 UTC

[He nodded. Words seemed too harsh, but it was true. And Angeal was there for him at least. He hadn't had the time to take his own experience and make it into a wise spiel like he did with everything else. However Angeal was his teacher now. He would do his best.]

[Minato smiles a bit wider, but it's still fake. Mostly.]

At least I got to meet him. That's something, isn't it?

**comment log honoreverything November 2 2009, 02:21:33 UTC

Yes it is. And you got to spend nearly every moment with him, didn't you? There isn't anything that could replace that. Time... is the most precious thing you could have. [That last part seemed downright sentimental. Angeal couldn't help but glance at all the kunai on the table.]

Re: **comment log foxtamer November 2 2009, 02:53:21 UTC

Quite a few moments, yes... [Minato smiles softly, and this time--it is real.] A chance I never would have had otherwise. Every moment was precious to me.

[Angeal isn't the only one who can be sentimental. Minato's gaze follows Angeal's to look at the kunai as well.]

... Some of these are theirs. Naruto was going to help me with the class, so...

**comment log honoreverything November 2 2009, 03:33:28 UTC

[A slight smile comes over Angeal seeing Minato light up, even if it's just for the moment.]

I know I could never be a replacement but, would you like me to help? I may not know how to use those, however, I do know martial arts.

Re: **comment log foxtamer November 2 2009, 03:35:11 UTC

[Minato's smile actually lights up a bit more at that.]

I was thinking of asking you, actually. On top of the martial arts, we're doing weapons lessons as well. You'd fit right in.

**comment log honoreverything November 2 2009, 03:51:02 UTC

Well, I would be happy to help in any way I can. There are probably a few weapons I could teach as well.

[The weight he was feeling lifted the more Minato's smile felt real. It started to show that he felt relief the more they talked.]

**comment log foxtamer November 2 2009, 03:57:52 UTC

You might be able to help with the Monster Avoidance class, too. There's enough people who can't fight here that it'd be a useful class to have.
