Hina/Eiji/Ankh, 772 words

A/n: written for my friend’s birthday

Ankh doesn’t really need sleep. He never has.

…Okay, that’s not quite accurate either. When he was using the body, he’d needed sleep. But only for the body’s sake. That said, it had given him a range of strange experiences.

Like, well, nightmares.

(They always featured the others leaving him, he remembers, but he’s at least self aware enough now to acknowledge that he cares for them.

Especially Eiji and Hina. They were his.)

They were never something Ankh enjoyed about his human body. Certainly not something he missed.

He missed not having a headache (and, really, how does a ghost even get a headache?) from having a full body, though. He misses having a corporeal body at all.

…Which all is unuseful, so he ignores it.

Hina/Eiji, implies OOOT3, 1.4k+

Not necessary to read but this takes place right after/during “Super Hero…”

Hina doesn’t think they actually have anywhere in particular to be after the battle, besides “somewhere with cell range to call Shingo and Chiyoko” and “wherever Goto and Date went since they had been “killed” as well”. She doesn’t fully know why she said they did not really, except…

Well, okay. That’s a lie. She knows why. She had been… Not scared or worried, those were words for when people are in danger, not people already seemingly killed before her eyes, and it wasn’t grieving, either. She’s found that it takes a day or two for that to settle in, both when her parents had died as a girl and when…

When Ankh had died.

(In her mind’s eye, she can still see the crystallized vision of his smile, when he died.)
