Rin for guilt, smile, and scars?

35 + 16 + 17. guilt, smile, & scars - glitchy rin.

“ congratulations. “ A smiling figure in white says, shaking and pale.

Rin can feel the pain sparking and prickling in her body fade away, and her throat tightens.

“ we’re finally done. aren’t you happy? no more tests, no more pain. “ Trembling, a sickly hand combs it’s fingers through her hair. She feared this hand once, but now her heart aches as it moves so, so slowly…

“ what happens to you now… is up to fate. aren’t you happy..? “ Rin chokes out a sob as the figure suddenly collapses, breathing in shallow breaths. A fragile white coat bursts into tears as well, desperately trying to help the dying body on the floor.

The android reaches out, hoping that this wasn’t happening. A nearly white hand only claws at her skin, leaving marks, scars of a fading life as the words that tumble out of her own mouth become incoherent.

Rin is suddenly shoved out of the room, feet tumbling forward and stumbling away from the scene as sirens eventually creep in. She can only watch as the person who hurt her, yet loved her far more than anyone else is taken away.

That person who is no longer moving, and had looked dead long before from the damage she was dealing to Rin.

Pressing her lips to the nail marks on her skin, she slumps to the floor crying.

“ aren’t you happy? “

Rin smiles shakily, but it hurts more than anything she has ever felt before.

Sakurai Kei: Autumn and Cyuu: Secret, please?

21. autumn - tired brother.

The leaves looked nice, he decided.

His sister always seemed fond of the colors that came with this season, often going outside and dragging him with her when presented with an opportunity. A little annoying, yes, especially when he was doing work or the sort, but he didn’t have the heart to say no to her.

Kei fiddles with a red leaf, distantly thinking of how similar the color looked to Rin’s markings. His lips curl upwards, and he starts his walk back to the facility with a gift for the android.

39. secret - cyuu.

There were some things he would never tell. Not even to Mikuo.

In the place where he woke up, forgotten and forgetting, he found himself wandering the stark white halls void of any life or care. There was nothing. Pure white with fading edges, cracks in pristine floors, flickering lights on the ceilings.

Then, then he saw something amazing.

A blinding contrast to everything and anything he has ever seen before–a cyan boy who stood out so vividly despite being in the dark. His heart picked up it’s pace as he silently outreached his hand to confirm the boy was really there.

When the boy turns to look at him, piercing his mind with eyes so full of life in the meantime, Yuu has never felt so much in so long.

He has never felt so strongly–what the emotion was, he didn’t know–towards anything before. And quickly after, he was outside of the dull white, and was staring at a tall, dark ceiling covered with glimmering white dots.

( stars, mikuo tells him later, they’re called stars. )

And even later, he’s introduced to others with personalities as varied as their colors. When he settles down that same night, he cries himself to sleep with the largest and first smile he ever had.

21. Autumn 22. Family

21 + 22. autumn & family - innocent outsider.

It was Autumn when Haruka took his hand and escaped with him out of the facility. It was Fall when Haruka was taken in by a mother and her son, and he was picked up by a gang leader.

Admittedly, he was rather frightened during their separation. She was the only person he could talk to for a long time, and losing your closest friend and crush hurt. It was eventually dulled by the tiny gang’s few members pampering him in small ways. It was nice. Though he’d still really like to see his fellow escaper.

When his birthday rolls around the next year during Autumn, the base is dead silent and the only new addition is the little note that informs him everyone is out doing something or another, He’s disappointed by the lack of ‘happy birthday’ and wanders around town for a bit.

In front of the door when he returns, is a little package and note left by his ‘fated person’, as she called herself, which causes him to smile and open the door with slow, gentle movements.

The minute it’s closed and he’s inside about to go searching for the light switch, a loud ‘surprise’ nearly deafens him.

By the end of the night, he’s fast asleep with everyone in the living room, feeling like he has found a wonderful place to call home.

How about 23 and 27?

23 + 27. romance & sleep - blackmail dealer + cyuu

It was only a couple months after he brought Yuu to the base that he began wondering.

From the start, Yuu was quiet and followed Mikuo around while drowsily rubbing his eyes and making small cat noises.

( No one in the group were able to teach the kid to talk yet, but the responsibility ultimately fell on Mikuo since they were always together. )

So when Mikuo sat down on the couch to read a book or something, Yuu would claim the seat right next to him. Soon after, he’d fall asleep and his relaxed body would curl up next to Mikuo. It was a little embarrassing, to the young blackmail dealer, despite how innocent it was. He was sure Yuu was just doing it because Mikuo was warm.

However, what was interesting about this was that Yuu never relaxed near anyone else. Mikuo would’ve brushed it off before he realized he didn’t relax with the boss either. And the boss was a very friendly person, radiating warmth to the small gang. Relaxing with them is really hard not to do.

Idly petting Yuu’s fluffy hair, feeling flustered and soothed at the same time, he makes a mental reminder to ask him when he could actually speak.

7 years later, he finally remembers and inquires Yuu about it, who only gives him a fond look before speaking.

“ because it’s nice to sleep with the person you love the most..? “

Mikuo sputters before flushing a brilliant red, retreating to another room in the base with Yuu’s confused mewls fading in the distance.

Rin/Rinto #39

39. secret - glitchy rin.

She remembers, sometimes, about a distant time erased from her memory.

A hand combed through her hair after a particularly grueling session, somehow soothing the aftermath her coding felt. This, she hazily thinks, makes up a little for what just happened.

“ rin.. “ A voice softly calls out, filled with pity and apologies. Rin almost wants to forgive this person. Almost.

“ i… i only messed with your coding. “ It murmurs. as if sharing something of the utmost privacy. “ i’m sorry you had to be the victim, though.. it’s all my fault, rin. i’m so sorry. ”

She tries to reassure the blurry image, but no noise comes out of her throat. The message seems to reach them, anyways.

“ ..haha, you’re a lot like sakurai-san. even after all i’ve done, you still… don’t tell anyone, okay? i like you the most out of all the androids i’ve known. i wonder why? “ A quiet laugh fills the room, and Rin can feel her lips turn upwards a bit as her eyelids close.

“ keep it a secret, just between me and you, rin. “

When she opens her eye again, she’s in a grey room with half her vision.

Can androids dream?, she thinks sleepily, disconnecting herself from her charging station. A small white coat only smiled in her memory.

Sakurai + hopes & crying?

3 + 5. hopes & crying - tired brother.

Haruka had  been sick for as long as they were family.

The first time he had heard the news, he was too concerned for his sobbing mother to think much of it. However, now that she was gone and his little sister was the only family he had left, it devastated him. It meant that his kind, genius sibling would be slowly breaking as time went on and the years went by.

And there was nothing he could do to stop it.

So instead, he spoiled her absolutely rotten. Due to her illness, she couldn’t join the company who built androids and the such. And so, though it completely disinterested him, he joined.

It gave his sister an excuse to come in and out of the building and meddle with what she could. She smiled frequently at everyone and didn’t seem sick, confusing many of the workers who were fond of her on whether or not she was an employee.

He forgot about her sickness, her eventual demise, almost entirely. He started thinking about the future and hoped to go traveling for a bit with her. To show her many sites filled with history and art.

But now, he realizes how stupidly foolish he was as his only family lays sleeping on a white bed in a white room with nearly white skin and - god, she already looks gone, far away from this terrible world.

Choked laughter pushes out of his throat before the tightness in his chest snaps him in two and he breaks out crying.

He wonders if Haruka ever cried.

He wonders if she ever would.

Sympathy for anyone (( If you feel bad, hope you feel better!))

38. sympathy - beloved sister.

Was it pity?

Haruka’s back burned and itched from the recent marking, tears threatening to pour out as she silently stared at the sobbing boy in front of her. The boy who shared the same markings, and the only one who ever would.

Gently patting his head, she crouched down ever so slightly and gave a small and - hopefully - comforting smile.

“ don’t worry, everything is just fine! see? “ He lifts his head and now she can see that his eyes are a vibrant green–The smile becomes much more honest.

“ you’re safe! “

He was her fated person, surely, because soon they’ll become the opposite sides of the same coin.

Both sides of a mirror.

She only wishes he got a better half to him.
