little nightmares | ryuu | closed for nami

Not right in the head was an understatement; he was sick in most definitions of the word. Sighing, Ryuu scratches the back of his head and gives a shrug.
“Well, he’s on his way out, anyway. Maybe he’ll die of old age while we’re here and we can leave.”
Normally that would be mean, but he doesn’t see the need to be nice to someone who kidnapped them all and was the reason a lot of people were dead, and a lot of families were never going to see their loved ones again. No pity for someone like that.
He chuckles as they puff up their cheeks like a 3 year old. Patting their head, he waits for them to finish before replying.
“I know. And if I ever need anything, I’ll come t’you, ‘kay? Promise. But don’t feel like you gotta help me; you’re already doin’ more than enough, even if you don’t realize it.”
Throwing both arms around them, he pulls them into a tight hug, spinning them around in a circle, being careful not to hit them with the book in one of his hands.
“And I love, love, loooooooooooooooooove you, too! So does Sachi~! How could we not?! You’re so cute, Nami!”
Letting go, his smile thins when they bring up the people waiting for them outside. That ties into this book, actually, but it was a subject that became more difficult to deal with the more time went by. How were those people doing? His family, his few friends… Did they know what was happening to them, or did they just vanish?
Did that letter ever really get sent…?
He runs his fingers along the cover of the book, staring down at it as he speaks.
“Yeah… I think ‘bout that too. I hope they aren’t too worried… I’m sure they must be okay, though. Just waitin’ for us t’come home…”
Part of Nami, despite how awful Control was....the thought of Control actually just dying did not sit well with them....Mostly because they believed that if he was the one keeping them in the facility they would need him to get out....If he suddenly died....How would they be able to leave? The doors seemed to be fairly locked tight....
“Mmmm...M-Maybe....But I feel as if he were to die we may not have to play his games anymore.....b-but...I feel as if we would still be stuck here....a-and he seems to be the one who at least makes sure we have f-food...So we would run out of that eventually too.....”
Nami why are you being so negative. Come on.
But as he pats their head....and reassures them that if something ever came up to where he needed their help, he would come to them they smile again...
“I...! Just want to do my best for you...! A-And the others of course but....You are important to me...so I just want to make sure I’m doing all I can....!”
They beam, a happy smile crossing their face. If they smiled any wider their cheeks might break...is that even possible? Can cheeks break?
When Ryuu hugs them though, they can’t help but giggle...Attempting to hug him just as tight as he spins them around. They felt very loved in that moment...which was a feeling of rarity....They didn’t want the feeling to stop!! But they knew it wouldn’t as they knew Ryuu was someone they’d have for the rest of their life...! So they hoped.... And Sachiko too...!
“R-Ryuuuuuuuuuu! I love you too...! Very much!!! I do hope that I have been a good little sibling.....little sister...? Yeah...! I know you already have an older sister....but....!”
Nami smiles, cheeks a light pink by this point as they blush with embarrassment...and happiness. What had gotten into them! They were so happy....
“Mmmm...I agree....I do hope that they are doing alright....I sometimes wonder....How they are doing....A-And if they are looking for us...I am sure they are.....! B-But....you actually have family who likely reported you missing....b-but I do not....W-Which is alright....! I c-consider you and Gyuhui....and...Sachiko-senpai....a-and...Umi-chan...! And your mom...my family now....! Oh....! A-And Shoji-kun...I’ll have to introduce you to him...H-He’s really sweet....!”
Nami beams...as they list off a bunch of people....if they didn’t stop now they’d list even more
