I GROW WEARY OF YOUR BRINGING HOME TINY THINGS

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

WHO: Fakir, Mytho, ITTY BITTY RUE
WHERE: Jinn School of wsfdghbdthmjnsdfhsdaaaaaaaaafghg
WHEN: Right after Rue's latest network post, around 9pm
WARNINGS: derp?
SUMMARY: Mytho brought a tiny Rue home. Hilarity/spazzing/beetus ensues.
FORMAT: I MADE THE LOG SO Y'ALL GOTTA DO PARAGRAPHS

Fakir was tired. Tired, hungry, and agitated. Whatever cosmic chicanery had started up in the past couple weeks had him rightly paranoid. Even worse, it seemed that entirely too many important holidays fall in and around March, so his work had been swamped with advance order upon advance order, every one of which he had to carefully type into the damnable computer that somehow replaced a perfectly good ledger.

Whatever.

He trudged up the stairs and peeled off his apron, fully expecting to be ambushed either by the cats or by Ben's younger, more annoying self.

Instead, he was greeted by the sight of Mytho smiling in his soft, barely visible way at bitty!Rue, holding her hand as she twirled.

"Am I doing good, Prince?" Rue asked as she twirled, trying very hard to balance of the ball of her foot. At the sound of the door, however, she started, and stumbled in her dancing.

Fakir stopped dead in the doorway, his mouth hanging open. Oh, no, no, no.

"Absolutely not," he deadpanned.

Mytho turned, blinking at his knight. "Fakir...?"

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Still holding onto Mytho's hand, Rue moved behind him, frightened of the person who had so suddenly appeared, even if her prince did seem to know him.

"What's that doing here?" Fakir asked, his intense gaze directed right at Rue. If it weren't for the latest bout of weird events, he wouldn't have even thought that this could be Rue, but it clearly was.

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

"She was being attacked by crows...."

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"Prince.." said Rue in a quiet voice, hiding herself further behind him. "Who's that?"

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

"You know exactly who I am," Fakir muttered as he stalked over to them. However, he slowed as he approached, realization dawning on him. Ben certainly didn't know who he was when he was...changed. And was he seriously getting this upset at the presence of a four year old?

He pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed, and didn't say anything else.

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho turned to Rue. "Fakir. He's older now..."

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"Fakir.." Rue looked thoughtful for a moment. "That boy who doesn't like me? Is he going to make me leave, Prince?"

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

Fakir sighed, a long, miserable sound that kind of wheezed out of his chest. "No. No, I'm not," he said. "Not yet, at least."

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho's smile seemed almost... knowing for the barest moment. "He won't make you leave..." he assured. "He'll protect you from the crows as well..."

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"He will?" Rue looked up at Fakir. He did seem strong...

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

Fakir could have sworn, for the briefest of moments, that he saw some kind of scheming awareness in Mytho's eyes. This was imagined, of course, surely...

He sighed again. "I... guess I would have to."

This was true. If the crows bothered Rue, Mytho would spring to protect her, and...

His thought processes ground to a halt. No. That wasn't a scenario he was willing to contemplate.

Just picture Mytho doing Bakura's Smiiiiiile face for the barest moment and fear, Fakir.

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho nodded. "He will..."

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

Rue gave a small smile, her anxiety lessened. Slowly, she stepped out from behind Mytho, to get a better look at Fakir. He still didn't look very friendly, but at least he'd said he'd protect her.

"I don't bite, you know," Fakir said flatly as he pried off his sneakers. He looked over at Mytho. "I don't suppose you've put any thought into what we'll do with her."

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho blinked at his knight blankly. "Do...?"

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"I'll stay with the prince," said Rue, holding onto Mytho's leg. "And dance with him."

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

Fakir grimaced. "I mean where will she sleep, for instance? We don't know how long this will last, and neither of us know how to take care of kids."

[lovemedangit.livejournal.com]

Mytho just blinked at him, near absentmindedly putting a hand on Rue's head. "I want her to stay..." he finally said in a soft, quiet voice.

[easyopentabs.livejournal.com]

"I can sleep with Mytho, can't I?" said Rue, thinking of how warm and pleasant it would be to stay next to her prince all night long, instead of next to Father's cold feathers.

She is a toddler. Don't be stupid.
