Week 2, Sunday Post-Execution - Natsuo

[fragileprophet]

[I'm halfway operating under the assumption that Ion's moving into Natsuo's dorm and not the other way around but we'll keep this nebulous for discussion. NEVERMIND they're in Ion's room which is now also Natsuo's room! Wind dorm for life!

But anyway. Ion has a lot of emotional baggage about Sandalphon to work through and Natsuo has a lot of friends, so it probably takes the two of them a decent amount of time to finally end up alone together. When they do, though, as physically and emotionally exhausted as Ion looks, he still smiles for Natsuo.]

It looks like we're partners, now...

[He bows his head politely.]

I hope you'll have me.

[ The fire dorm is the dead!Dave dorm, somewhere Natsuo hadn't really been spending very much time in since he'd lost his previous partner— losing one, living without one, gaining a new one, he doesn't quite like the thought of a bond like that being so easily replaceable, but here he is, coming back to the wind dormitory very late at night, a little surprised to see Ion still up, a little guilty like he'd been caught by his mother coming home past his bedtime. ]

Yeah. [ He manages a smile too, tired and uncertain, carefully not saying the words. ] It'll be easier to look after each other now too.
