[glaciers]

It's too late now.

[secare]

( mmmmmmfuck. )

it wasn't just you
when you and others left
i don't know
retrospec made the people who ever left behind forget
like you were never there

kind of like the did with the colours
and the horses

[glaciers]

Just the people who weren't on the app, right?
Because I have worried texts from you and some other people.

[secare]

yea

god
shouto
i'm so sorry about those
texts

[glaciers]

What are you apologizing for?
You were worried.
It's normal.

[secare]

i don't know
if normal would be what i'd call it
haha
i just don't want to lose you

haha
SO
anyway
are you okay?

[glaciers]

I'm alright.

[He is not alright.]

I got ice powers while I was away.
And clothes that don't burn.
So that's nice.

[secare]

( normally he'd let that go but.

he knows the weight of what he said about his mom forgetting him. )

are you really?
it's fine to talk about it

wait what
what
what
i don't even know where to begin
HOW'D YOU GET THE ICE POWERS

[glaciers]

[Shouto just avoids the question for the other question.]

I woke up with it while we were in the doctor's office.
My foot was stuck to the floor because of the ice.

[secare]

do all of your powers come with trauma

[glaciers]

The ice doesn't seem traumatic.
He was mad when he used it, but it didn't feel nearly as bad as the fire.

[secare]

that still sounds bad
what about the clothes? do they even look nice?

[glaciers]

It's a navy blue jumpsuit.
It's comfy and easy to move in.

/2

[secare]

that's not too bad

[secare]

[ INCOMING CALL: YUKINE ]

[glaciers]

[He picks up with a ring.]

Yukine?

[secare]

( this is slight bullying. )

Are you okay?

[glaciers]

Everything's back to normal.

Mom remembers me.

[secare]

Tell me honestly. Yes or no?

( a breath. )

Well, no, you don't have to. You've already said it pretty much. Maybe a better question would be. . . Is there anything that would help you feel better?

[glaciers]

...

Let's get ice-cream.

[secare]

Okay.

( it comes out immediately, but yukine thinks a little further on the idea. )

Wanna go to the beach? We can sit on the boardwalk and eat it.

[glaciers]

Yes.

[The ocean is back, if still gray. He'll gladly take that and Yukine's company over a mother that somehow forgot him.]

Right now?

[secare]

Right now. Get your trunks and meet me there.

( normally he'd come get shouto, but he's got something to do first. )

[glaciers]

See you there.

[He'll be at the beach in about thirty minutes.]

[secare]

( yukine is late.

not by much, but still by a solid 15 minutes. it's late enough that yukine makes sure that he sends a text shouto's way to make sure that he doesn't get the wrong idea. namely, that yukine might have stood him up or something.

when he does finally show up, he shows up in a straw hat, trunks, a button down, and a bag that is suspiciously full. thankfully, shouto is exactly where he said he'd be and yukine greets him by gently bumping a shoulder against him. )

Sorry.
