[Twenty days.
It had been twenty days since he'd last parted with Kaito, and it was with no small amount of guilt that he now returned. Simon had abandoned him when Kaito had probably needed him most... or at least, when Kaito could have used a hand, Simon's or otherwise.
But it couldn't be helped, as Simon leaned his back on the wall beside the door frame, tapping on the door with his knuckles. It was almost inaudible. He'd forgotten his key. He wondered if it was still sitting on the table next to the glass he'd forgotten to wash or put in the sink in his rush, twenty one mornings ago.
He sighed, and knocked again, this time a little louder, hoping Kaito hadn't decided to move on just yet.
Whatever had happened to Simon, he had promised he'd come home all right. And aside from a bandaid on his cheek, he seemed to be in pretty okay condition.]
