//Before & After c:

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

     alma shrugs for a moment, before he promptly changes the subject.  “they’re good kids.  i like them, even if i annoy the piss out of them on purpose a lot.  you’d like them.  i think they’d like you.”

She’s worried, to the least, but she also knows not to push. So, instead of confronting him, Lyra plays along. “Really~? I should meet them some time, then. If only to embarrass Yu-kun...!”

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

          “LYRA, I FUCKED UP.  pretty badly.  i wouldn’t be surprised if she never wants to see my face again.  besides, she && yuu have stopped fighting, so she can have him, rather than me.”  no, there’s no uncomfortable bitterness there.  “oh, oh, yuu got some kids to take care of.”

“You... Al-chan!” she snaps, worried and hurt for his sake. Her eyes narrow. “She’s not you, Al-chan; you are who Yu-kun wants!” As for Kanda’s becoming a supervisor, well... that comes with being a General.

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

          “IT’S COMPLICATED.”  alma laughs softly, running a hand through their hair.  “i think she doesn’t like me anymore.  BUT I GUESS ADMITTING THAT I DIDN’T REMEMBER HER DIDN’T HELP.”

“That— ...I’m sure she still loves you, Al-chan! You two’re basically family, after all. I just hope she’s not, y’know...” Lyra’s already aware of Kanda’s problems regarding remembering their early childhood; that on top of Alma’s amnesia can’t at all be good for Jiao’s sense of reality.

hatredgeneral:

“ it’s…complicated. “

“Well... okay! Just try and not to hurt each other too much~!”

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

          “A VERY LONG TIME.  my bad memory isn’t exactly a friend when it comes to people.”  alma says it honestly, if not sheepishly–because being around lyra doesn’t make alma feel like his ABYSMAL MEMORY is a thing to be concerned about.

“Well, I hope you’re still getting along!” Jiao has been left alone at the Asian Branch for all these years, after all. Not to mention how Jiao... doesn’t seem all that fond of her. “It’d be a shame if you didn’t.”

[seccndwind]

@twinsouled replied to your post ““Take care of yourselves while we’re gone!””

kanda voice: what no why are you leaving me here with jiao this is going to be Bad

“...What’s up with you and Ji-chan? You’ve stopped fighting, haven’t you?”

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

          “WE HAVE BEEN.  && we met some others!!  do you remember jiao?”  they kiss her nose back.  they love lyra so much.

She giggles, pleased, and holds back the urge to give them another kiss; the cycle has to stop somewhere. “Of course I remember Ji-chan! How long has it been since you’ve seen her?”

[seccndwind]

“Take care of yourselves while we’re gone!”

[seccndwind]

hatredgeneral:

“ I DON’T DO CELEBRATIONS. “  kanda crosses his arms, completely dismissing the idea. he pauses before eyeing lyra again.  “ sorry, i guess that wasn’t something to BOAST about. “

She smiles, softly, and kisses his cheek. “It’s okay, Yu-kun! After all, it’s at least worth mentioning! ...I’m glad the Generals are stuck stuck here for now, then.”

[seccndwind]

hatredgeneral:

“ um, no? “  kanda frowns at her, her reactions UNEXPECTED.  “ why would i celebrate that? “

“Well—”

She stops, gaze dropping away. It’s a promotion, yes, but it’s not as if they themselves gain anything from this so-called job.

“Just because... a celebration would be nice...?”

[seccndwind]

hatredgeneral:

her happiness seems to BRIGHTEN the entire room.  “ i, um, i became a GENERAL while you were away. “  kanda has never been PROUD of the title but acceptance from lyra makes him almost want to BOAST about it.

She blinks and blinks again, ignoring the nauseating nostalgia brought up at the news of promotion. Luckily, however, with her focus on him it’s easy to forget; she grins once again. “Congratulations, Yu-kun! Have you celebrated at all?”

[seccndwind]

hatredgeneral:

kanda hugs her more properly before she ends up PINCHING HIM and he tenses in habit.  “ i’m not going to disappear. i promise. “

“Good!” she chirps, pushing away the ever-present worry and kissing his nose. She’s utterly elated; no matter where she is, as long as she has them with her... she’ll be fine.

[seccndwind]

Nothing quite like when you still look an awful lot like you did in your past life...

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

          “HOW ARE YOU?  are you hurt?  hungry?  DO YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN?”

Kisses their nose again. “Good! No, no, annnnnnnnnnd no! You and Yu-kun better have been taking care of each other!”

[seccndwind]

fategiven:

          “WELCOME HOME, LYRA!!”  alma kisses her face once more.

She giggles, happily. “So glad to be back!”

[seccndwind]

hatredgeneral:

he’s never been so happy to see someone from his past again. kanda pats her head as if to make sure she is TRULY HERE.  “ you can’t leave like that again. “

Her eyes burn and she twists around to bury her face into the crook between his shoulder and neck. “I promise! You better not ever pull a disappearing act yourself, either!” pinches him.
