29th bomb || Hayato Gokudera || [in person] || Backdated to Thursday

[killer_melon]

[After letting a rather distinctive scream from the morgue of the manor, Hayato had hastily scrambled up to the main floor. Shakily, he wandered through the halls, completely disoriented and very jumpy. He had his hands defensively wrapped around his stomach which is slathered in dried blood, as are his pants, and right shoulder

[Ryuutaro had been feeling like a zombie all those last days, trying to keep up with all his usual mannerisms and failing horribly. Nothing seemed to work out. Sleep didn't happen those two days, he just jumped awake the time he tried to and food? Ryuutaro didn't even waste his energy trying, least of all with the memories of Hayato making him eat things in his mind.
He'd been crying a lot, not knowing what to do and how to deal with what he felt.
Not even his make-up looked good as he mindlessly walked down the hallway to see... oh god, could it be?
Ryuutaro stops dead in his tracks and his legs start shaking.]

H-hayato...?

[Is this... reality? Ryuutaro's unable to believe it just yet]

[killer_melon]

[The teen jumped and snapped his head up when he heard the sound of his name being called. He stared a Ryuutaro a bit vacantly for a moment, his mind just not working the way it should.

It was Ryuutaro. Hayato awkwardly scrambled to his feet, not taking his eyes off the boy in front of him, in fear if he did so much as blink the boy would disappear. He opened his mouth as though he were trying to speak, but he couldn't find the words. Ryuutaro could help him. He always helped him.

Unsure of what it was he needed help with he stumbled forwards towards the other boy]

[fortunatefan]

[A part of Ryuutaro is horribly scared. He wants to turn and run, run, run. Hayato disappeared once and it had heard to much, so, so, so much, who told him that it wasn't going to happen again, that they'd be fine this time? Ryuutaro was so scared and for just a moment he stays where he is, staring with wide eyes.

But this is Hayato. He's here. Right in front of him. Moving. Nothing like that horribly lifeless thing he'd spent so many hours with. And he couldn't do a thing as a single tear rolled down his face.
This was Hayato.
And then he is moving towards him, slowly at first, then faster, until he can bury his face against the other boy's chest, tangle his hands up in the other boy's clothes and finally feel his heartbeat.
He doesn't even realize that he should be afraid of touching, that he should back down from such closeness. All he knows is that what he feels here is a sign of life and that this time he wouldn't let go off Hayato]

[killer_melon]

[And in that moment of contact Hayato flung his arms around Ryuutaro, clutching the fabric of his clothes for dear life. He was scared. He didn't know what to do, he could feel just how badly he was shaking, even through his tight grip on Ryuutaro. But he knew the person in his arms. He trusted him. He would be okay...]

R-Ryuutaro....

[He leaned his head down on Ryuutaro's shoulder and buried his face in the fabric of his clothes.]

[Wandering quietly through the halls, Mary kept watching for any angels or something just as bad. The boys were back, she had to try to make sure the manor was safe. For them.

What she didn't expect was to see a bloody and frantic Gokudera. Not paying any mind to how dangerous and volatile the boy was, she quickly moved closer, hitting her knees as soon as she was close enough to him, her hands rising to gently grasp his chin.]

Gokudera? What happened? Look at me.

[killer_melon]

[The teen jumps at the sudden contact and tries to back himself further against the wall. He's wide-eyed and trembling, and his grip around his stomach tightens.

and he just stares, almost vacantly at Mary, he recognizes her, but... he doesn't appear to be all there at the moment.]

[was_a_hunter]

[Shit...where was help when you needed it? Softening her voice, she ran a hand through his hair in what she hoped was a soothing manner.]

Hey, hey...I'm sorry. C'mon, can you tell me what happened?

[killer_melon]

[He doesn't respond to the touch at first... but then there's a comforting familiar feeling about it. Before everything blacked out he was pet like that... and it was calming and nice...

So he leans his head forward just a bit to let her continue.]

[At her question he tenses up... then tries to open his mouth to talk, only to find that no sound came out. He froze for a moment, then bit his lips, then once more brought his knees to his chest and just buried his face in them]

[suna_bitch]

[What the hell was the point. Her best friend was dead...if she'd just went to him at the beginning of this damn plot, he'd have been just fine. She wouldn't have let anything hurt him, not ever. Stalking through the halls, she pitied anyone who got in her way.

Looking up on a whim, she paused as she saw Gokudera. Eyes widening, her scowl fell into a confused look.]

...'Dera?

[Moving forward, a well trained eye would be able to see her shaking slightly. He was dead, how could he still be alive? It made no sense to her at all...]

[killer_melon]

[He doesn't respond for a moment, as it takes him a moment to come to the realization that his name was called. Slowly he looks up at Temari, and just stares at her... he looks exhausted, and his expression is vacant.]

[suna_bitch]

[Warily she walked up to him and set a hand on his shoulder. Warm...he was warm. A stark contrast to how cold he'd been the last time she'd seen him.]

You're alive? But...how?

[killer_melon]

[He jumped at her touch... even though he had seen it coming. God, he was such a mess. He opened his mouth to try and speak but found it was dry and horse. He looks down and coughs, the remains of the blood leaving a familiar metallic taste in his mouth.]
