[He'd gotten used to Aya being here. It was comfortable, it was needed, and now that security had been torn away from him. Aya was gone. There wasn't any use lying to himself about it now--he hadn't been able to contact him for days, he hadn't reported to his classes, he hadn't been at Siren's Flowers, and no matter how much looking Ken did, he ( Read more... )

[Home! He's never been so glad to be. He's spent the last few days playing half-heartedly with his puppy, puttering about like a busy housewife, probably getting told to sit the hell down you just got out of the hospital what's wrong with you :|, and well...collecting more pets ( Read more... )
