Wednesday1.48 - No One Calls Home Anymore

[genuinelie.livejournal.com]

Ran lurched down the hallway to his room, rifled through his bedside table to find his phone. Hit the first speeddial. His heart was beating fast with trepidation.

That shouldn't have happened with Yohji. He should have been on the streets, looking for his sister. He'd gone after Yohji -

- no matter that it had been in a car -

He should have gone after his sister as well.

But the fact was, she'd run to get away from him.

His mouth downturned, he waited somberly for Omi to pick up.

Please, let her be all right.

He would give her more space. If it meant she would only run away when he tried to protect her -

There was nothing he could do. But if Omi had found her, and was able to bring her back -

Perhaps his choice to keep her here would be all right. Perhaps Weiss could do what he could not.

Please, pick up.

Omi walked silently with Aya-chan, he was satisfied with what he had done so far to keep the peace between Aya-chan and Ran. Even though it wasn't exactly his business. After everything Ran had gone through to get his sister back Omi didn't want to see him push Aya-chan away now with the excuse of 'protecting' her.

Omi jerked out of his thoughts when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He didn't even have to look at it to know who it was. He pulled his phone out smiling when he saw he was right. "It's Ran." He said to Aya-chan before answering.

"Hello. I caught up with Aya-chan, we're on our way home now." Omi said before Ran had a chance to say anything.

"Thank you," Ran breathed.

He let himself down gently on the bed in his room as he clicked off the phone.

He closed his eyes, though he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep until both Omi and his sister returned. He let his hand drop perpendicular to his body, still holding the cell.

Thank you, Omi.

His body took over without his direction, and oblivion finally found him.

"Its Ran." Aya's breath caught in her throat for a brief moment.

The conversation was... short. A lot shorter than Aya had imagined. Somehow, Aya had envisioned a lot more screaming on Ran's part. But Omi didn't show any signs that the conversation had gone wrong...

Maybe Ran had matured a little. Not that she had any right to say, after running away in a fit. The thought made Aya a little embarrassed, and so she focused her gaze on the buildings they were passing.

Omi blinked looking at his phone again when Ran hung up on him. "He didn't sound as mad as I was half expecting him to be." Omi said putting his phone back in his pocket.

Aya smiled at Omi's comment. So they both had the same reaction... it was strange, but then again, a lot of things were strange. She perked up a little at the sight of the Koneko in the distance. If Ran hadn't been mad on the phone, maybe he wouldn't be mad when she arrived back home.
