Bakura ran down the hall to his friends' apartment, banging on the door. "Alastair-oniichan! Kiryuu-kun! Saitou-san! Are you in there?!"

"Man, don't talk like that." Alastair grabbed Bakura around his fluffy head and pulled him in for a one-armed hug. "Nobody else is dying here."

He still didn't know what the hell to do about Saitou. As time went on, that could become a problem.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura ducked his head a little, smiling as he relaxed into the hug. "Sorry," he apologized, leaning against his brother. "I'm just talking without thinking..." His eyes closed and he gave a soft yawn, having worn himself out with his panic. "Ne... can I stay here tonight...?" he asked quietly.

[hackeralastair]

"...yeah. I think you should." Alastair let him go and tried to fix his hair, to no avail. "It's just you and me on this floor till...till Hiruma and the guys get back from the Super Bowl. Kyosuke's not using the room across from mine, it's sort of a guest room."

It wasn't as though he hadn't spent nights alone in the apartment before. All three of them had strange schedules and it was rare that all three were in at a decent hour to sleep at the same time. But this was somehow different. Alastair didn't want a yawning lonely chasm around him when he could at least know Bakura was close by.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura gave a soft, tired smile at that, slowly sitting up. "I should," he agreed. "I sleep better when I'm not alone..."

He trailed off a moment. "They'll be fine, right? Kiryu-kun and Saitou-san?"

[hackeralastair]

Alastair gave another sigh, and finally succumbed to the cat's presence, picking her up with one hand and setting her on his lap so she could be petted. "I guess so. Saitou's some kind of ancient samurai badass, right? And Kyosuke knows how to live on the streets. His text said they'd find a place, but I told him not to tell me just in case. Good thing, because then I didn't have to lie when I said I don't know where they are."

He looked down at the cat in his lap and made a face at the hair shedding off onto his jeans. "I guess all we can do is trust them, and wait."

*just stuck on this icon, it seems*

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura gave a small smile at the cat, reaching out to pet her as well. "Un... as long as they have somewhere."

He was quiet a moment. "I hope they can come back soon. I like having everyone all together like this..."

awww

[hackeralastair]

Alastair nodded. "Me too. I don't want to leave here...and I don't want to leave them either."

Better than screaming or zombie :D

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura nodded. "This... this is the first time anyplace has really felt like home since..." he trailed off a moment. "In a long time," he finally finished.

no zombies!

[hackeralastair]

"It's better than being alone," Alastair agreed.

"....you wanna just order a pizza?"

But his tired face makes such a cute zombie :)

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura nodded. "Yeah. I don't really feel up to cooking," he admitted. "Especially not for just two," he added in a softer tone. "I've gotten so used to cooking for everyone, I don't know if I could just cook that small of an amount any more."

ffft

[hackeralastair]

"Don't worry about it. It's not going to be like that," Alastair said firmly, pushing the cat off his lap and getting up. "Go on and get your things, I'll call the pizza place down the street. We'll just have some food, and watch movies until we fall asleep. Not worry about anything else, and I mean anything. Right?"

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura gave a small nod, leaning a bit on the couch as he got unsteadily to his feet, the remnants of the adrenaline and everything else catching up to him for a breif moment. "I'll try," he promised, giving a small, tired looking smile.

There was a breif moment of hesitation before he gave his brother a tight hug.

[hackeralastair]

Alastair patted him on the head to show his appreciation. "It'll be okay," he said out of reflex, even if he didn't believe it himself.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura nodded, clinging a moment more before letting go and taking a step back, rubbing under an eye. "I'll go get my things... I'll be right back," he promised. There was another moment of hesitation before he headed out towards his room where the door was still wide open.
