THIRTY FOUR [voice, japanese]
[he doesn't speak for a long time, but the sound of his footfalls going up a set of stairs are easy to make out]
[the silence stretches, even as he makes it to the second floor and heads down the hall. his breathing is audible, the device close to his face, which indicates he was going to make a post, but forgot to speak]
[finally he stops ( Read more... )

[ but, before he could get very far through them, he heard the door open, and the faint sound of a voice, followed by a scraping noise against the floor. Keigo stirs, sitting up on the bed and looking up as the door opens-- ]
.....a-ah..
[ he stared up at Ichigo, shocked. He looked a lot better than he had expected, injury-wise, but he couldn't help but notice the bruising on his neck and how pale his face was and how wide his eyes were and.. was he shaking?? What the hell had happened?? ]
.. I-Ichigo! What happened to you?! Are you okay?! [ without much thought, Keigo abandoned his communicator and stood up from the bed, ( ... )

[he opens his mouth again after a while and tries again to speak, but whatever he had planned comes out as a strange choking sound. It's obvious why he's choking, though, as his eyes look incredibly watery. Finally he squeezes them shut, his fingers tightening enough to turn his knuckles white, his whole body still shaking, and the tears start to roll down his face as he opens his eyes again to look at Keigo] Keigo..?
[he brings a hand up automatically to wipe at his own eyes, but it's useless, and the tears continue to fall. his words sound quiet, almost like he's talking to himself, and just completely broken] You're.. alive.. but you.. I.... you're ( ... )

...... Ichigo?? What's the matter?? [ For all the times that Keigo had worried or upset Ichigo, he never had seen him look so distraught before and it was honestly scary for Keigo to witness. His throat worked as he tried to say something more, but whatever he wanted to say was promptly cut off as Ichigo's eyes started tearing up ]
.... ..... [ he was.. crying? ] ... I... .. Y-yes, of course I'm.. .. what are... [ anything Keigo tried to say didn't want to come out properly and it was frustrating him greatly. something was wrong, and when Ichigo said that he had died, Keigo blinked, shaking his head ]
W-what are you... Ichigo, I don't understand, what happened?? I'm fine..! I've been here in Latimir since you left!... W-why are you so... what are you apologizing for?? [ as the tears started rolling down Ichigo's ( ... )

[he listened to Keigo tell him he'd been here the entire time, but that didn't make sense. He didn't understand- he'd seen Keigo die, how had he been here the whole time? He could still see it if he thought about it, Keigo dying right before him and choking on his own blood, and how angry Keigo had looked when he strangled him, but now here he was, like nothing had ever happened]
[it didn't make Ichigo feel any calmer] I.. I'm sorry.. You.. you don't remember it at all..? [maybe it had happened and Keigo was already back, and maybe he just couldn't remember it. Ichigo's shaking didn't stop and neither did the tears, even if he was trying very hard to not look as distraught as he really was]
