It’d been awhile since Apollo had been completely alone. While he had been at work, Mekiko ate something she shouldn’t have and as a result, she was currently recovering from stomach surgery. Apollo had been worried about his poor kitty ever since.
Furthermore... he was left completely alone now. He hadn’t been alone since his first few nights of boarding school. In that brief period of time where he hadn’t met Clay yet, and he still didn’t have a lot of friends. If any. He hated it back then. He hated this loneliness now, too. He’d texted his best friend, but when he didn’t get back to him, it was clear that the other was sleeping or at work. He tried pulling out his laptop and listening to a song called Family from Super Mario Galaxy, but his mind continued to wander.
He worried about Mekiko, which then turned into concern for Trucy, which soon shifted into fear for Vera. It wasn’t long before tears fell from his eyes, rolling down the sides of his head as he stared up at the ceiling. It was almost scary how aware he was of his own heartbeat. He thought more about his past as well, about Klavier, his time as a paralegal at Gavin Law Offices, about Kristoph, about--!
It was when he started to loose control of his breathing that he picked up his phone and texted Klavier. He was not about to start sobbing at one in the morning just because he was left all alone in his apartmen--
...correction. He was about to start sobbing at 1:30 in the morning because he was all alone in his apartment.
[To Klavier: hey are you awake?]
Seriously, Justice?! It was one in the freakin’ morning, of course he wasn’t awake!! You probably woke him up, genius!!
[To Klavier: i cant sleep...]
