log; not crazy really

[kadan]

Die! Just die—all of you!

[For anyone who happens to be passing by the area, they might notice one (1) teenage boy stomping on a flower bed like his life depends on it.

STOMP STOMP STOMP—yeah those flowers are looking pretty dead now. He continues stepping on them though, just to make sure.]

Damn it! This is—! Just die!

[HE IS NOT CRAZY, HE SWEARS.]

[Ah. Okay. Unseen by Kaoru, Yukio shakes his head.]

If you're that concerned about being unheard, I can call an acquaintance.

[kadan]

[He turns to look at Yukio again.]

And what would that do? It's not like they'd believe me either.

[ex_exorcize778]

You shouldn't pass that kind of judgment before you meet someone. As for why I suggested it, she has a passion for gardens and the life within. If you think something's wrong, she'll listen without doubt.

[kadan]

[... Well.

That's actually really tempting, because it'd be great to meet someone like that—someone who understands flowers as well.

... On the other hand, what if he's just getting his hopes up?

Kaoru looks away. You can practically see the gears turning in his head—]

[ex_exorcize778]

[She almost died for a flower, if that help.

. . . and he's not going to say anything soon, so Yukio offers:]

She should be out of class right now. If it's all right with you, I can call her over.

[kadan]

[That does, actually.

hnnnnnngh he really does kind of want to see her. But interacting with other people...

... but person who likes flowers...]

... I guess.

[helps* weeps

Nodding, Yukio turns away while procuring a cell phone from his pocket. He phones his brother, in hopes that Shiemi would be with him; they're usually together.

. . .

A short conversation of "Is Shiemi-san there? I need her assistance with something" later, he hangs up and regards Kaoru.]

She should be here soon. If you'd rather hold your explanation for when she arrives, I'm fine with that.

[kadan]

[You have no idea how badly he wants to run away right now...

He's just kind of awkwardly not meeting Yukio's eyes.]

... Why are you doing this?

[ex_exorcize778]

[Don't make Yukio tranquilize you.]

. . . There are other ways to solve a problem than to simply annihilate it.

[He's more quoting his brother on this. While it is certainly the more sympathetic approach, Yukio is more inclined to be efficient and practical. If annihilation is the most practical path, he would take it.]

[kadan]

[Why would you do that.

Kaoru's silent for a moment, before he speaks quietly.]

... That's the easiest way, though.

[ex_exorcize778]

Easiest way doesn't always agree with the right way. Things become difficult when they collide in ways other than in harmony.

[kadan]

If it stops the pain, then doesn't that make it right—?

[He's muttering more to himself than to Yukio by this point. Honestly, why hasn't he run away yet—]
