[A
blond boy with a
scar one one cheek is messing with Teito's computer, his normally cheerful face frowning a little in concern as he mutters to himself. Teito is visible just beyond, about five shades too pale and sort of gaping at the other boy.]
- do you turn this thing off, anyway? [He turns and look at Teito, and his face looks even more worried. He abandons the computer in favor of going to kneel by Teito, who definitely looks Not Alright. He puts his hands on Teito's shoulders, and looks up at him kindly.] Teito...? C'mon, Klein, tell me what's wrong so I can help.
[Teito takes a long moment, but he finally answers, shakily.] Mi-Mikage...?
[Mikage looks relieved, and smiles encouragingly.] Yeah, Teito, it's me. Nice to know you're still in there, Buddy.
Is it... Is it really you? [Teito looks a little scared of the answer, grasping at Mikage's sleeves. Mikage can't help but be confused - who else would he be? - but nods.]
That's right, chibi. Now come on, tell me what's wrong. Please?
[Teito chokes as Mikage looks at him, anxious, pleading, and so very kind - and it honestly looks like Teito's about to cry. The realization sends Mikage into a small panic as he tries to think of a way to head it off, but then Teito flings himself into his arms, knocking the laptop down by accident in the process. The screen goes black.]
