#silencedcursed

it was nice, seeing how haru tried to be there for the younger jyuunishi, helping out where he could. rin knew bits of what had happened, everyone connected to them probably knew by now, but it was nice to know that someone was trying to help. “if you want to talk...” ugh, this was stupid, no one had wanted to talk to her about struggles.. “i dunno, i’m here i guess.”

               just by coincidence, he too is starting to nod off. homework sessions at sensei’s house always knocked the kids out before they could even get anything finished. of course, that didn’t include tohru who was off at work and yuki had finished his work long before everyone had even opened their book bags. 

               the ox had splayed himself out on the floor in a subconscious attempt to procrastinate further when presence of his cousin wiggled its way into his side. there was no effort to remove her or himself from the situation-- quite the opposite actually. he curls around her with an outstretched arm, properly folding her between his arm and his side before promptly falling back asleep. 

as much as he tries to run away from the sohma family that he knows that he can never truly escape from, he doesn’t actually hate or feel as hateful as he treats a couple of them. his family is there for him, regardless of his own status in the zodiac or their own.

kisa is that one person in the family that he cares oh so much for. she is like a little sister to him. the youngest in the zodiac. someone who didn’t deserve anything that has happened to her. he felt bad that he couldn’t have been there to protect her. not like he would have done much against their god.

he really thinks he should pay certain members of the zodiac a visit more often. though, that involves going to the main estate. somewhere he doesn’t want to go near. so, having them come to them makes everything much easier for the rat. though, they will have to take time out of their own lives to visit. something he feels like he is causing them trouble for that. 

Ayame whirled around at the sound of the small Sohma’s voice, a warm and soft smile spreading across his lips. It was always so good to hear her voice, he had of course been quite worried when he heard that she had stopped talking all together.  “Kisa is that you? Oh my you’ve grown so much since the last I saw you!” he hummed happily, getting to her eye level so he could wrap her up in a tight hug.
