I'll break the sky, for you and I are going nowhere. Kiss goodbye, a dozen times before we get there. Why do I need anyone else? Why do I need anyone..
"Who knows. Maybe something happened on the other end. Ya know, hear about the meteor that was s’pose t’ strike?" Though she was lying to see if he’d respond in some way, the female only gave a shrug of her shoulders. It was bad to kid about deaths that way. Besides, what logical reason could there be if that was actually it. It was silly but it wasn’t against the law to joke around, "Hmm.." Eyes following where he was pointing, she gave a nod to his choice. She was much more preferred to Kairos’ shops since it was all in the same place but here, they’d have to do a little walking.
"Stuck, I’ve been here many times so ya know, I don’t care but I have more ties back at Kairos. Hopefully Eight is okay." Making sure that he was in front so that she followed after him. It wasn’t that bad to walk there, things were much healthier that way. The idea then came to her if the other was able to drive but with a shake of her head, “Maybe they’ll let us go home later today. Sleeping back in the slums cleared my head a lot but all the thugs that live down that way, it seems that they don’t forget things too easily, damn.”
"So where are ya stayin’ maybe I can crash with ya until we can go home." Speaking up once more, seeing that they were almost to the building that he was pointing at. "Well, it looks smaller than what I would have imagined. But I guess Paralia never has that much t’ offer, huh?"
With a raised eyebrow in confusion, the blond shook his head. A meteor? Eh, that sounds awfully crazy so there is no way that can happen. Sounds like something that can come from a sci-fi book- dang, imagine if Kairos is sudden over run by aliens? Crazy. Okay, okay- he’s joking about that. However, despite living near the peaceful Paralia, Kou never really bothered to actually explore it, even when he was younger. Eh, it’s something to keep him occupied while he can’t go back home, right?
Shoulders lift to shrug carelessly, and the blond puts his arms behind his head again casually as the pair walk. He listens carefully about the slums, and all that though all the boy could reply with was an impressed ‘hmph’.
“Heeh, did you voluntarily sleep in such a place?” he says. Disgusting…
He didn’t have much else to add, so his voice falls silent for some moments. That silence drags out even longer after Ryuuko’s next question.
“Ahh… Geez… This is dull,” irritated, he finally speaks in a low voice, “What makes you think you can just invite yourself over so casually? Do you think highly of yourself, is that it? Ehh… Maybe you should ask more nicely, you know, something liike… ‘Please, Kou-kun, I beg of you. I don’t want to sleep in those nasty slums… Let me stay over, please.’… Right..?”
He lowers his arms, and looks at Ryuuko with expectance, a sly smirk on his features as he waits for his response. Although, knowing Ryuuko he may not actually get much, or what he wants… No matter though! He has this under control.
Her conversation with the cop was short-lived, it was something that she was use to but even so, it was easy to tell that she was growing slightly irritated. Thoughts running over and over as to why she was here but she allowed herself to shrug and just allow the cop to leave and continue what he was doing before. A sigh came from her lips as she felt a bit drained from even wasting her time with this. Looking to the side as the sun’s rays pierced down towards her as the clouds passed by for only moments notice. Hearing a voice, the female turns her back away from the bars to see an idol on the opposite. It was sort of hilarious, one was locked in and the other, was to face the brunt of reality.
"Kou? Eh, who was t’ know that ya were the kids type of guy. Visitin’ the kids?" She asks upon hearing his statements. When he spoke of fate, she shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t know what to actually say other that she wanted to go back home or was she to stick around in her natural routes somewhat. Whichever it was, it didn’t bother the teen at all but at this moment she had taken a step back from the bars. A gloved hand gripping at the handle as she pushed it open so that the other could walk out.
"But ya know, this is the fuckin’ worst though. I had plans looks like they’re cancelled. Anyway, shouldn’t ya get back with playin’ with the kids here or somethin’. Normally they get lonely or somethin’."
With her statement, Kou just chuckled. With that, he nods, “I’m not.” He folds his arms behind his head casually, “That sounds better than being dumped in a trash heap like this, though, since I’m a kind, and tender person right? It looks good on me as a person, visiting kids even though I’m a famous idol with not a lot of time on my hands.” He lowers his hands as he watches the bar opens. With a small sigh of relief, he exits through them quite happily. Though, the thought not being able to go back home just yet, and maybe being forced to come back here just didn’t sit well with the blond.
“Isn’t it weird? It’s a pretty odd coincidence that we can’t cross back for who knows how long… Ah… What a shame, really. I had plans too.” He shrugs, lowering his voice he mutters, “I don’t want to go back there though…” With a hum, he shakes his head.
“Hey, hey~! I got a better idea, let’s go see what’s around here. I think there are small shops up ahead, see all those little buildings?”He smiles, and points up to the buildings he was talking about with a playful voice, “Doesn’t that sound better? Might as well do sooomething while we’re stuck here, right…~?”
"Ugh. Out of all these games." She was the one being played. Back in Paralia was where she situated again, not only that, the slums was where she found herself. It wasn’t that bad since she already knew her way through the area but wanting to take the path back to Kairos greeted her with a stop sign and that, she wasn’t approved to keep going. What for? She was confused as to why she couldn’t go but with a roll of her eyes and a huff, an officer placed their hand on her shoulder, and guided the younger to his car. Now, she was a bit too old to be treated like a child, but she smacked away his hand and took the ride to where he thought she should have been.
Pulling up to an orphanage was kind of crazy in her mind, wondering why she was sent here and his only reply to her was that from here, she could go to various places. The orphanage was a marking point establishment so if she ever got lost, she could easily find herself back there again. This was dumb, she already knew this. But a shrug of her shoulders and exiting the car, she only slammed the door and walked to the open window just to lean while it was down to talk.
"Ok but. I already know this, I have stuff t’ do back home." Of course, he denied her request and with a groan the female took a step back before she leaned on the bars of the orphanage. Hands behind her head as she rested there, "Ya think that ya could’ve driven me home but nah, drop me off at a place I already know about." A shake of her head as she continued speaking to the officer, not noticing that there was someone familiar standing right behind those gates.
What a nasty turn of events. The blond opened his eyes only to be greeted by a place that he thought he was never going to see ever again. The first few moments of waking up only brought some inwardly panic to the idol, as his frantically asked questions to himself such as: Why is he here? Where is Ruki, Yuma, and Azusa? What even happened for me to show up in such a place? Almost losing his cool, which is something Kou doesn’t do anything, decided to try to recollect his thoughts- and most importantly calm down. Due to the recent events, he had been a little on the edge ever since that day he rediscovered that old plush doll in his room that left him troublesome thoughts in his mind. With a big sigh, he ran his hand through his hair. Why was he bothered in the first place by that, though? He shouldn’t be, really. How silly of him, honestly! He needed to just get out of this lowly building. He shouldn’t be here in the first place, there must be a mistake.
Exiting the building, Kou is greeted by the bright light of the sun- making him squint a tad bit before adapting to the light. He walks up to the bars that were just a bit too familiar to him, and touches them lightly with his fingers. With a small frown, he sighs once more. Leaning his back against them he watches his surroundings with much boredom. He hums, making a small comment out loud, “This really brings me back… Heh. Disgusting, isn’t it…” Fitting for piece of garbage though, as always, right?
For a moment, he drifts off into a small day dream- remembering how this is the place where he met his brothers, and now here he is again… It’s odd to him, being dumped here again. Did he deserve this be stuck here once again? Maybe so.
He snaps out of that thought quickly hearing a voice complaining, quite loudly, near him on the other side. Kou whips his head around to see that it is someone familiar.
“Hehh… That’s a shame isn’t it? How pitiful.” He comments, “Though, seeing you here. It must be fate or something? That’s a better way to put things... Even so… A pretty unfortunate fate, huh.” Not that he really believed in fate, anyway. Who would? Right now, he really should take his into his own hands, whatever is going on.
☁ - If they’re caught out in the rain how do they react?
Probably mad! He doesn't like getting his clothes wet / dirty. Sometimes after that happens there's a biiig chance of him throwing a violent tantrum. Though, in this case, maybe running under shelter from the rain would be the best idea...
☺ - Do they prefer sour or sweet treats?
Sweet. He loooooves sweets a lot. Like cake, and candies. Please give him cake, but he cautious--...
✖ - Who is someone they just cannot stand?
Haha well.
Okay, honestlyyy... I would say people like the Sakamakis for a number of reasons, because Kou's whole life he had to eat dirt basically and I do remember at one point he gets angry at Subaru and yells at him about how he had everything handed to him on a silver plate since he's rich, and all... [ Thiiis may or may not be 100% accurate, so I'm just being vague..!! ]... But he still... Handles / deals with people like them to a certain extent... He deals with them just fine, unless you flipped that trigger in him, and he gets pissed off and starts yelling. Basically.
☾- Are they prone to nightmares or dreamless sleep?
Mostly dreamless sleep. Even though Kou has been through hell, he's still rather... Well, he talks about it so easily, and laughs at it. I really doubt it haunts his dreams, and sleep too much. Heck, he probably did have nightmares when he was younger, but growing up, well... Not anymore?
☼ - Something that/Someone who makes them happy.
Slams fist on desk. All of his brothers, of course!! Especially since they're the only people in the world he can trust completely, and are there for him.
♠ - What are they afraid of?
Losing his freedom in any way or another. Being cooped up, or trapped in some kind of place he can't get out of, you know? Because it'll definitely remind him of those orphanage times where they stripped away a lot of Kou's freedom. Though, he still has hope especially to see the sky, but he definitely wouldn't want to be trapped like that again.
♫ - What kind of music do they enjoy?
Probably a lot of pop, lots of energetic stuff. Also, he probably sticks to a lot of the 'in' and 'popular' kind of things that plays on the radio. I can definitely see Kou being someone who enjoys dancing to the really energetic, electronic kind of pop songs.
Why do I need anyone else, when I can break the sky myself? [mini event; drabble]
Mid-day, after the family lunch Ruki gives a request to everyone as their plates were almost clean of their food. A small frown appears on Kou’s features when he is asked to tidy up his room before doing anything. Cleaning his room? On a Saturday? Completely ridiculous, Kou thinks, especially since he has plans- he absolutely didn’t wish to be cooped up in his rooming cleaning it, surely he can do it later. The dark-haired Mukami doesn’t budge though, and with a small huff, the blond finally agrees. How dull, though… It’s Saturday.
Well, to avoid getting scolded by Ruki he decides to listen this one time. Positively, Kou is pretty sure that his room isn’t that messy, since he does try his best to keep his floor clean. This should be a piece of cake, right? Upon returning to his room, he hears the door close behind him with a gentle slam. With a small hum, he does notice a few messes here, and there spread out on his table and floor. A long drawn-out sigh leaves the idol’s lips… This just gets duller by the second.
“It’s still not that bad… Why is Ruki-kun making me do this, it can wait until Sunday at least…” The blond mutters, sulking as he pouts at his room. By the looks of it, it seems like some things fell off his bookshelf, and he didn’t realize. Inspecting his bookshelf, Kou takes some of the items that he either received from his fans, or just small little knick-knacks he bought for decoration and rearranged them for room. With a small step back, to take a look at his progress, his heel steps on a bump in his carpet.
He lifts his foot and turns on his heel to examine what he stepped on. Eyes blinking in curiosity at the ground because he didn’t step on any kind of bump, but a small, ragged teddy bear stuff animal that brought some nostalgia to him. He picks up the bear gingery, its chocolately brown fur is covered in dark splotches of dirt, its soft stuffing is also poking out of the several tears in its fur— he takes a finger, and tries to poke that stuff back in to fix it. Even one of its dark buttoned eyes is missing, and Kou frowns at the plush, when the hell did he get this again…? Why would he have something so gross, and ugly in his room…?! With a small ‘tch’ leaving his lips when he notices he got some dust on his finger he almost throws the bear at the wall where his trash bin is, however after lifting his arm in preparation to throw, he stops himself. The idol lowers his arm when a sudden realization hits him.
Before being dropped in the dirty orphanage, this was given to him… A small gift from his Mother, remembering it correctly. Staring down at the plush, Kou’s lips turn up into a small smirk, and he scoffs. Being gifted a dirty bear before being abandoned in a dirty orphanage? How fitting, isn’t it?
Pondering his thoughts, the blond feels a small pang strike in the back of his head. Gritting his teeth, he folds an arm behind his head, and rubs it gently. The grip around the plush tightens, and Kou plops down on the bed as he continues to hold his head as he can feel his headache getting worse. An irritated groan leaves his lips as he rolls onto his side to face the wall next to him. His vision fades, it gets dimmer, and he feels as if he’s almost falling…
Eyes shut.
Everything is dark.
A flash of white.
And he opens his eyes.
He’s staring up at a dark roof. It reeks of a foul smell of trash, dirty water that rushes by him, and a collection of other foul smells. He sits up, and stares down at his small hands first, which happen to be covered in dirt. He stands, and takes notice of his clothes, all torn, dirtied with trash, and more dirt. He wrinkles his nose at the smell… Augh, disgusting.
He perks up at the noise of two men.
“Ah, we drank, and drank.”
“We drank too much during the day. I’m gonna vomit at any time. Do ya want to go back?”
“Alright. If you need to puke, do it in the hole over here—Damn it!!”
“Ahh, okay.”
“What’s this… Damn, this sewage reeks like hell.” A pause, “Hm… Hey look! There’s some brat inside there.”
“Oh, it’s an orphan. Damn kid is crowding in here while we were talking.”
“Ha, could he be the reason- the origin of this damn smell.”
With widen eyes, Kou stares at them. He bites his lip, and lowers his eyes.
“Tch, what a creepy sight, let’s go.”
That’s the last of the talking he heard from that pair. He carefully listens to the footsteps as they disappear into the distance. He sighs, and climbs out of the dirty hole of the sewage, and above him, the first thing he sees is the bright blue sky.
It’s beautiful.
Someday, I’ll get that sky.
He clutches the object- the tattered bear.
How amusing, it didn’t even belong to his mother. He bought it with his own money, that he had managed to scrape off the streets… He didn’t even remembering having a mother in the first place.
Why did she even read the message, a look of irritation and mild embarrassment found it’s way on her. What the hell did he mean!? Shaking her head from left and right, having herself at a loss of what to say. It took her at least eight minutes before she could reply. Every retort was always backspaced and replaced with something else.

With that sent, she just closed her eyes. It was this perverted personality which made the female want to hit the other unconscious.
Kou knows he is stepping in dangerous waters when he talks like such. It didn't matter to him as much though, even if he knows what he's getting into... Ah, well. It's amusing to the blond idol when he didn't get texts back straight away- did he hit a bulls-eye and rendered Ryuuko speechless? Amazing.

She was nothing but worried and that was the casual emotion to have when her brother was possibly locked up. The fact that the female should have been use to this, a sigh left from her lips as she heard a buzzing sound play from beside her. Her message must have been received and she was in a world of teasing if she knew him correctly, which she did. Turning in her bed to face the device and grab it in her hands, taken aback by the common phrases in his messages.
"E-eh…" Closing her eyes, he didn’t have to state what he was doing. This brought the female to shake her head. How embarrassing. If he felt that way, he should have kept showering.

His attention steers away from his phone for several seconds. He takes his sweet time drying most of his hair, but then turns his attention back to the screen when he hears it buzz several times. Reading what's being sent to him, the blond can't help but chuckle as he stares at the phone's screen. A small, playful smirk appears on his face reading the sentences.

Where has Eight been, lord as if Ryuuko knew. Usually when things like this happened, the other must have been… locked away. It happened once, was he punching cops again? Pulling out her phone to send a message to a certain someone. Hiding her face in her pillow as she tried her best to send the text out.

✁ 1/3 | i think my brother got locked up again ✁ 2/3 | i should go bail him out but he has to stay in there for 24+ hours ✁ 3/3 | can i stay with you until i can go get him
Enjoying the solitude of his own bathroom, in the bathtub he takes one of his regular - everyday relaxing baths. Of course, he didn't really expect to have his phone ring on the counter a few steps away from the tub... Usually he keeps it there if his company had an emergency for him, but he was sure he wasn't going to be bothered for idol work this this week... Weird!
Well, things do tend to pop up sometimes. With that, he exits the tub, grabbing a towel near him, and begins to rub his blond hair with it as he checks the message-- Oh, Ryuuko?
