[Video Post | Backdated to before Issei's return]

May 22, 2010 00:38

[Naoto's sitting on her bed and clinging to a pillow. No, she doesn't realize she's virused. She thinks it's because Issei forgot about her that she's feeling so distraught.]

...he really did forget about us.

[She buries her face in the pillow, her fingers digging deep into the fabric.]

Naoto... Hold on, I'll try to get a worldhop to you.

Are you sure that's all right? I mean... you're a bit preoccupied with more important matters at the moment, aren't you...?

Sure! I'm not really doing anything except waiting for Brother to come home, anyway.

I could... world-hop you, in that case...

Can I ask you something first, Alphonse?

ironysoul May 22 2010, 17:27:13 UTC
Sure...

Could I, um... That is to say... would you be averse to the idea of giving me a hug...?

You -- you mean, you wish to hug me, even though my body is awkwardly large and spikey?

Well... yeah. It doesn't matter whether those arms are made of flesh or steel... the feelings conveyed by such a gesture are still the same, right?

Naoto.... this is the first time anyone has comforted me since I've been in the armor!

truthinfortune May 28 2010, 02:38:55 UTC
...what? But that's... What about your brother? Surely he...?

[Clearly, Naoto cannot conceive of anyone treating Alphonse like an object rather than a person.]

[Yes, but Naoto, can you imagine Ed comforting ANYONE?]

Brother's not big on hugging.

Stupid machismo...

Look, we're family, all right? It doesn't matter to me if you're made of metal or not. That doesn't change anything. Inside that armor, you're my little brother, and I wouldn't treat you any differently than I would if you had your own body, okay?

Thank you, Naoto.

You're human, Alphonse. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, that fact will never change.

And you're free to ask me for a hug anytime you feel sad or lonely, okay?

[Her arms would never be able to reach around his waist, but who cares? It's the thought that counts.]

Ah, Naoto--

Thank you.

I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true, you know?

It'll be nice to see you again. Emma has missed playing with you, too.
