[Minato doesn't wake from death this time with a start, doesn't bolt upright like he had the last.... two? three times? (had this really been the fourth time he'd died? and from shredding himself into too many pieces, at that, he might've been able to survive if he hadn't) no, this time he just opens his eyes and stares at the ceiling, looking

[knock

knock]

[personajesus]

[...it probably takes him a few minutes longer than it normally would, but upon discovering that no one else was going to answer it, Minato opens the door

and just looks so incredibly guilty upon seeing who it was.]

.....England.

[is_an_island]

Can I borrow a cup of band...

Minato.

[personajesus]

[....he would entirely agree to that and just go get a cup of band for England but

he really

isn't sure what a cup of band is

so he just stares at England for a moment before moving to the side to let the guy in.]

[is_an_island]

[yeah like you get off that easily

incoming giant hug]

[personajesus]

[HE.... hadn't been entirely expecting that, maybe more yelling and "dude you almost broke my jaw wth" (because even though he doesn't entirely recall hitting England he remembers his knuckles were bleeding when he died), or "you killed my other cute widdle friend" or.... something, just not. this.

he's still a pretty awkward kid when it comes to these things, so he doesn't hug back, but... his head does drop down to land on the country's shoulder.]

...Are you okay?

[is_an_island]

[THWACKING HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD

but then hugs him more.]

That's my question, idiot.

[personajesus]

[WHY DO YOU LIKE DOING THAT SO MUCH AS OF LATE

b-but he totally deserves it so he doesn't say anything.]

...I'm fine.

You... got between us, didn't you?

[is_an_island]

You died so you're not allowed to be fine.

Didn't I specifically give you a lecture not to die? I did, I honestly did.

[personajesus]

You did. [pause.] I didn't mean to. Not... not really.

[is_an_island]

"Not really"? That's not good enough at all. And what do you even mean by that?

[personajesus]

...The attacks. [he leans back and, to show an example, lifts a finger to his head, mimicking shooting himself.] They used up my strength. I was aware of it at the time, but... [he is definitely not going to say "killing Charles was more important", because that's just... no.]

[is_an_island]

It wasn't your fault.

[personajesus]

...

[is_an_island]

It wasn't, so don't give me that sullen silence.

[personajesus]

...I killed him. [even you said so, remember?]
