Warnings: Hmm, PG~
Minami: *looks up slightly from hot chocolate* Ah, Ryoma?
Ryoma: *sits in his wheelchair, staring silently into the fireplace*
Minami: *smiles slightly lopsidedly, gets up with a bowl of small cloud shaped marshmellows and waves it slightly under the kiddo's nose* Hey there~
Ryoma: *flinches*
Minami: *frowns a little* *retracts the bowl* Hey, what's up... well, what's up and bothering you right now?
Ryoma: ... Who... who are... *does not connect*
Minami: Just your local Jimi, it's Minami. Dan's sempai?
Ryoma: Ta--tai? Tai's here. *soft, vapid smile on his lips*
Minami: Yup, he's here. Around I guess, the kid's got spunk... doesn't he?
Ryoma: *small nod* He's... gre--great...
Minami: *settles himself down infront of the wheelchair* You two... play nice, I like my kouhai smiling. *smiles lightly* he loves you a whole lot.
Ryoma: ... *nod, doesn't seem like he's completely... present*
Minami: *not quite sure if he should bring Ryoma back or not* You like pokemon? Figure it's something you and Dan'd have in common.
Ryoma: ... *nods* Y-yeah, I do. We... play.
Minami: Which version are you two currently trying to clock?
Ryoma: ... I... don't remember. Soul? Ma--maybe?
Minami: Huuh, don't remember that one. Though, I'm not quite up to date. You getting far in it, I suppose?
Ryoma: Do--don't remember. *seems to realize that Minami is there, and asks again, not aware that he's repeating himself* ... Who are... you?
Minami: *smiles lopsidedly* Minami Kentarou, and you're Ryoma Echizen, I believe.
Ryoma: Yeah... Worthless.
Minami: Not what I said, Least I don't think the two co-relate to eachother. So really, to me I think neither of us are worthless at all.
Ryoma: I am. I am, I am.
Minami: Nope, that I won't believe. Even a vegetable in a hospital is worth something, so... you have to be worth something at least.
Ryoma: Vegetable? .... *stare - you might just be getting through to him*
Minami: The people who lie in hospitals, can't move, can't communicate. But, they are alive. They're still worth something. If they're worth something, then so are you.
Ryoma: ... I want a marshmallow.
Minami: *offers him the bowl* Your welcome to them *smiles*
Ryoma: *takes two and stuffs them into his mouth* Hello.
Minami: *pops one in his own* Hey there, welcome back.
Ryoma: ... I have a back. *really now.*
Minami: *leans slightly to the side and checks* Unless my eyes decieve me, yes, you do indeed
Ryoma: Back is back. Minami... You have a back too.
Minami: I do, I quite like it. Very convinient for holding in my spine.
Ryoma: *blink* I have a spine too.
Minami: Good things spines, keep you out of all sots of trouble... they also stop you looking like a jellyfish.
Ryoma: *a ghost of a smile flash over his lips*
Minami: *picks up anothe marshmellow and pops it in his mouth* and when you look like a jellyfish, well, you just wibblewobble all over the show. *grins*
Ryoma: ... Is that a word? *frown*
Minami: Wibblewobble? Not officially, I don't think so. Slang for the way something moves. Kind of like jelly.
Ryoma: And brains. I think they might be wibblewobbley.
Minami: They do, especially when faced with thing they adore.
Ryoma: ... A--adore... *Dan's face dancing before his eyes, and his cats*
Minami: Things you adore have a way of just...finding ways to make you love them a little more each day. Not that they try really, widdles down to the little things.
Ryoma: ... Mm. You... have... So-someone... R-right?
Minami: Yeah, Kiyo. Sengoku Kiyosumi, lucky boy. I swear he's got me wrapped around his finger.
Ryoma: ... Oh. Mm. Hi-him.
Minami: He's an odd one, then again anythign I say of him is biased... What do you think of our Dan?
Ryoma: ... I'm dead without him.
Minami: He'll be there for you, s'long as you don't spurn him. Then again... he's there even when you do.
Ryoma: ... Know that. Don't deserve him. I only hurt him.
Minami: I know that, he comes to Kiyo and I's room when you do. I'd never complain about seeing the kid though, even if that's a cruddy excuse to see him. It's... common to hurt those you love... to the extent? Well, that depends on the relationship doesn't it?
Ryoma: *hugs himself tight, hunching over*
Minami: R-ryouma? *reaches out to him* I... didn't mean to upset you...
Ryoma: ... Do--don't deserve h--him...
Minami: *touches his arm lightly* You do, he's exactly what you need and deserve. You just haven't got the last bit yet.
Ryoma: ... Do--don't touch...
Minami: *lifts hand away* Sorry, but really. When you've got the last bit, it'll work smoothly.
Ryoma: ... N--no... W-won't. I... I...
Minami: ...The last bit is you realising you're worth him, you know? Once you know you're worth him... it'll fall into place. I hope, for both of your sakes.
Ryoma: How... how can I? I... I just...
Minami: Screw up on regular basis? People screw up. Normal people. Everyday we all do something that we regret, some things though... they aren't your fault and never will be.
Ryoma: ... So-something like that... I've... made him cry. So much. You... shou-should know.
Minami: *lopsided smile* Oh, I do. Trust me. But you know what? I also know how much brighter he smiles because of you. Seeing him smile like that... you're obviously worth it.
Ryoma: ... *dares a tiny wavering smile of his own*
Minami: *smiles back*
Ryoma: ... Why... do you call yourself... Uhm... Jimi? You're... really not.
Minami: It's an old habit, back from Yamabuki. Kiyo coined it, not even he's sure what started it. It's mostly because me and Higashikata... well, we're plain and we're simple. Not really a bad thing, if you think about it long enough.
Ryoma: ... *nods* You're... really a good... guy.
Minami: *smiles* Thanks Ryoma, you too. You're a a nice kid, I know it.
