~*~ There were bruises hidden by long sleeves, though it was obvious she had cried a lot recently. The red in her eyes and cheeks were telltale signs. She’d gotten away for now, but she knew she’d have to go back. There was nowhere else for her to go. The man who’d approached her had an air about him that made her able to open up more than she’d been able to in the longest time. She didn’t say exactly what happened, that she couldn’t do. Instead she’d told him she was hurt, hurt bad, and said four words she’d thought but never voiced before.

Haunted green eyes, dark as the middle of a forest, stared up at him. She didn’t plan to admit those words out loud. Ever since that day things got bad, though bad wasn’t the apt word to describe it. No, how she’d uttered the sentence was the best way to sum it up. She wasn’t who she had been. Not even in the slightest.The person she was had died. Kaisa swallowed and dropped her gaze. There was too much there to unfold to a mere stranger.

“It still is,” the gaunt female murmured and sighed. Why had she said something so blunt to someone she didn’t know?

“I think I am going to go stare at a wall for a while and rethink everything.”

     “Did you burn the eggs again?  Or is it a new kitchen disaster?”

It had been two weeks since he had lost to Langa, and the return to “normal” life hadn’t been as seamless as he pretended it was. He of course had accepted his defeat, having been reminded of what he had lost so long ago. There was a part of him that felt.. freer in a way that he could never fully describe, the muttony of his life was far more bearable than it had been. Not even his aunts could fully ruin his new found serenity.

Ainosuke even found himself being kinder to Tadashi, he found himself actually saying his name rather than calling him a dog or whatever entertaining insult he could think of off the top of his head. Though if someone were to call him out on it he would never actually admit to it, he would be far more likely to deny it with every breathe he had. However when they were alone.. it became harder to ignore the feelings that had once come to him as easy as breathing.

It was still early in the morning, there wasn’t too much terribly planned for the day. There were a few nonessential meetings in Tokyo, but they could easily be rescheduled for another day. Staring out the window, he found himself filled with the impulsive decision to blow it all off, his aunts wraith be damned.

Ainosuke had told him about this emergency contact plan (some small attempt to assure Tadashi that he wouldn’t let things get too far out of hand with his new skating excursions), but having that plan enacted is… well, terrifying. For that first moment, Tadashi can’t breathe.

Which is probably why the person on the other end of the line (Kaoru, they’d said — Ainosuke had mentioned such a person, if memory serves) is asking so many questions, trying to confirm if they’ve reached the right person or not. Get it together, Tadashi rebukes himself. Ainosuke-sama needs you! Right now!

“Y-Yes,” he forces out, though the connection between his brain and his mouth still fees frayed. “My apologies, this is indeed Adam’s emergency contact. Please tell me your location, Kaoru-san. And Ai—” He catches himself, growing panic almost letting his young master’s real name slip. “Adam… please give me the details on his condition — I will be most useful if I can act immediately upon arrival.” He is already grabbing the keys for the secondary car of the two he drives for Shindo Aiichiro. As soon as he has a destination in mind, he will be able to leave at once.

     Kaoru couldn’t hide the relief in his voice when he finally heard someone on the other side of the line. “You are? That... that’s good, I was about to hang up,” he asserted. Tadashi wasn’t the only one with frayed nerves, it seemed. “Adam, he... he was skating a beef against this other guy and... kinda took him out when they made a sharp turn, but he ended up slipping off his own board and hit his head pretty bad,” Kaoru tried to explain. “There’s a deep gash and lots of blood. He’s not responding.” 

     He’d been skating long enough to know the difference between the kind of injury one just got up and dusted themselves off from, and the one that now afflicted his friend. Granted, it was also because he’d seen Adam put more skaters in the very same state that he’d been able to recognise it. 

@loyaltycollared​ asked: “ i am going to regret this ”

sentences from the youtube series, BUZZFEED UNSOLVED. primarily taken from season 5′s supernatural investigations.

“Pshhh, nah.”

It’s not words, but the sounds resemble them closely enough that it gets his point across, the undercurrent of a laugh slipping out alongside. He shoots Tadashi a bright grin, seemingly unaware that a reckless teenager is probably the wrong person to be offering any sort of reassurance.

“  the results were disappointing. i was devastated.  ” [[ said with a totally blank expression, no doubt ]]

     “Well, as long as nothing caught fire or exploded.  Cooking’s an art, not a science, and you can’t expect to get it all right the first time.  Just try again.”

@loyaltycollared​ asked:

“what is  the  best  type  of  cheese?”

    “Well, best anything is subjective, but it also depends on what you want to use it for.  There’s a big difference between fresh and hard cheeses, and their uses.”
