Log;


If Kio were there, perhaps he would have laughed at him.

He was drawing at the cigarette in his mouth with a sense of heavy nervousness, fingers clenching at the filter particularly hard. One breath, out, and his lips tasted nicotine again. It wasn’t as if he had never done this before. Often, it was good practice to keep one’s skills honed.

But…

But Soubi had never used Ritsuka as a means for his art before this.

It was a thought he’d had often – to ask the boy, though he himself was lousy at drawing. He always imagined staring at the finer details of his Sacrifice, hand moving over paper to draw out the lines and soft angles of his face. Or canvas.

To solidify Ritsuka’s beauty in paint—

He casually crushed the cigarette in a nearby tray and left the room designated as his studio. There would be plenty of time for that; he only had to wait for Ritsuka. Which he would do, he idly thought to himself, with the door open.

What did it matter to lock it anyway? Soubi smiled.

Soubi was going to draw him? He said he would! The boy had to admit, he was somewhat curious. Sure, there was the face that he saw everyday in the mirror, but it made him somewhat curious to see how Soubi might see him. So maybe he was a little eager. It was Soubi's fault, anyway! Saying that he'd draw him. A little excitement was only to be expected, wasn't it?

Besides, it was nice getting out of the apartment for a change. It had become too small, too crowded, without Seimei there. And it just felt weird being with Nisei. It sobered him up a little, remembering that Seimei wouldn't be there when he got back, took a little of the bounce out of his step. He had to wonder for a moment: would it be like back home, now that Seimei was gone again? It had happened once before, and he'd managed to deal with it fairly well, but..

No. Ritsuka shook his head, banishing the thoughts from his mind. He was going to see Soubi, who would draw him. That was all he needed to focus on right now. He stopped at the doorway to the apartment, frowning at the wide-open door. He knocked once, twice on the jamb before coming in and closing the door after him.

"Soubi! It's dangerous to leave the door open like that!"

He had to fight to keep from rolling his eyes. "Soubi! How many times have I told you to stop apologizing!" Honestly! Sometimes, it seemed like that was all he ever did. Would he ever stop?

The boy's eyes widened as Soubi knelt. Had he become unaccustomed to the man's odd habits? No way! They hadn't seen each other for a while, sure, but.. no way it was long enough for such a drastic change, right? He frowned a little, looking away. "It's your apartment, why do I need to forgive you for it?"

Maybe it'd take a little bit of time to get used to being around him again.
