This is beautiful. Sad but beautiful.

((Thank you!  I appreciate the read and the compliment!  It is very sad...but we see more of their fluff typically, so I wanted to write a bit of their harsher moments because it's getting through the hard stuff that tends to make a couple stronger and show how they fit together.  Anyways...THANK YOU!))

Nova: When were you happiest? Equinox: What makes you calm? Bolide: What makes you want to give up? Aurora: What is the most beautiful thing that you can think of? Black Hole: Has there ever been a point where you thought nothing would get better? Sun Spots: What makes you feel bad about yourself? Orbit: Is there someone you can't stop thinking about? Zenith: What makes you feel good about yourself? {{That's a lot, sorry!}}

I have already answered a few of these, so I will be skipping them as to not be repetitive.

Nova: When were you happiest?

This is not particular specific.  Are you asking for a specific moment or just a generalized time in my life?  Ultimately, either way, I cannot really logically answer this question as, for me, one happiness tends to compound upon the other.  There is a direct correlation between them, and to choose one would be to betray the impact the others had on creating said chosen event.

Equinox: What makes you calm?

Calmly sitting on the couch with my dearest either talking or partaking in some form of entertainment.

Bolide: What makes you want to give up?

I have not reached a point where my ambition has been cheapened so much as to make me feel such an emotion.

Black Hole: Has there ever been a point where you thought nothing would get better?

There was a brief moment in middle school where I was very much resigned to my lot in life and believed that nothing I could do would gain me the recognition I craved.  Of course, a certain moronic individual was very important in changing that viewpoint, and in fact, that change was what set my life on the trajectory that brought me to my current happiness.  In that sense, perhaps my answer to the Nova question could be conjoined with this one as that single moment was the change that created my current satisfaction with my life.

Sun Spots: What makes you feel bad about yourself?

Failure.

Zenith: What makes you feel good about yourself?

Success.

Dovewing: Do you have any special talents?Brambleclaw: Do you think family is more important, or friendship?Blossomfall: Were you ever overshadowed by your other siblings(If you have any)?Ashfur: Ever had your heart broken?Squirrelflight: Have you ever broken someone else’s heart?Cinderpelt: Have you ever had to give up on a dream of yours?Good

I have already answered some of these questions (Ashfur and Squirrelflight), so I will be skipping them.

Dovewing: Do you have any special talents?

Due to living alone and wishing to be entirely self-sufficient, I made it a point to learn how to do domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning on my own.  This was almost a necessity while the Host Club was studying abroad in Boston during my third year because Haruhi, despite everyone's protests, was not always an available chef.  The task of feeding everyone typically then fell onto me.  Eating out proved far too expensive as well as time restrictive, so I began to learn and have continued ever since.

I greatly prefer it this way as I control my own home life, which I have found to be quite preferable to having to bow to others on things such as food preferences and even the arrangement of something so inconsequential as furniture.  Cooking is a task I greatly enjoy, and I must admit that I have developed quite a talent for it.

Brambleclaw: Do you think family is more important, or friendship?

My initial response is to say family as I do tend to put my family above anything else; however, I know of a certain blond moron who would whimper and claim that our friends are our family, and since I have grown to both not argue with him as well as agree with him, I would simply say that both are equally as important as both often form one unified whole.

Blossomfall: Were you ever overshadowed by your other siblings(If you have any)?

I am the youngest of four very talented siblings, the third eldest of three sons who are highly regarded in the work that they do and have been for as long as I have been alive.  Simply based on average family dynamic alone--not even accounting for things like title and wealth--this question answers itself.

Cinderpelt: Have you ever had to give up on a dream of yours?

Ambitious individuals never give up on that which they seek.  As I would count myself among said individuals, I have not.

Familiar Faces

Kyoya yawned as he crossed his legs, placing his black notebook on his lap and beginning to tap his fingers rhythmically on the closed cover.  It had only been an hour since he had arrived in Japan to be on hand to help his brother Akito with a medical conference he Ootori Group was sponsering that weekend.  He hoped he would have time to at least return to the Ootori Villa; however, once his plane landed and he turned on his phone, he was notified that a car was already at Narita to pick him up and ferry him to the main Ootori medical facility.

"Oh boy.  Dr. Yevgeny's flight was grounded,"  Kyoya lifted up his head to watch as his elder brother's brows furrowed in frustration, the elder Ootori grinding his teeth as he reached into his desk drawer to pull out a binder, talking to himself more than he was talking to Kyoya. "I need to find a general surgeon that'd be able to cover his conference slot.  Dammit.  I'd do it if I didn't have to be at that useless meet-and-greet with the board."

Kyoya was about to say something, but he closed his mouth when Akito slammed the binder closed and stood from his chair, his eyes looking directly at Kyoya.

"Come with me," Akito ordered, not waiting for Kyoya to even stand up before purposefully walking towards the door of his office.  With yet another sigh, Kyoya stood, securing his notebook under his arm as he took large strides to catch up to his brother.  Wordlessly, Kyoya followed Akito through the congested hallways of the hospital, shaking his head as he watched Akito look up to wave or smile at a staff member or patient before training his gaze back down and mumbling angrily to himself.

"Matsu-san?  Anyone seen Matsu-san?"  Kyoya heard his brother call as the two walked into the busy throng of the Emergency Room.  He stepped in line behind his brother, attempting to not get in anyone's way as he followed him to the trauma nurse's station where Akito apparently found what he was looking for, "Matsu-san.  There you are.  Oh, and Ishiko-san.  Perfect.  I have a favor to ask.  Both of you, actually."
