Reflections SB69 Drabble
On the flight back to MIDI City from Aryaska Yaiba and Aion have a conversation about the guys they beat in curling and look forward to the future. Contains dashes of Aion/Crow and Rom/Yaiba.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crow leans against Aion. The couple and Yaiba are on the plane back to MIDI City from their visit with Rom. Crow's in the middle, Aion's by the window and Yaiba has the aisle seat.
"I hope we see those guys again." Crow mumbles as his eyes drift closed. "I'm sure we will." Aion smiles down at him. He hasn't seen Crow so fired up in months. When Crow was fired up it was infectious and Aion could feel the twinge of excitement underneath his skin.
"Rom should be home in a month and a half if not sooner." Yaiba speaks up. Crow's already fast asleep against Aion. He's holding one of Aion's hands in his. "Good just in time for the festival." Aion smiles as he leans down to press a kiss to Crow's reddish brown hair. Crow's ear twitches in response.
"Yep. This will be his last long business trip for awhile." Yaiba nods his head a smile on his face. "You've missed him a lot haven't you?" Aion looks over at him.
"I have but it's okay because I know he'll be home soon. What did you think of those guys?" Yaiba smiles over at Aion. "They're definitely interesting. I think it'd be fun to go up against them in a battle of the bands. They fired Crow up and when Crow gets fired up so do I." Aion looks at Crow with an affectionate smile on his face.
"I agree. He hasn't been so fired up in awhile has he?" Yaiba looks over at Crow. "No he hasn't. With Rom being gone the band's kinda been put on hold. So it's been hard for him to get excited about anything." Aion says quietly.
"I don't blame him. The band's his life. It's the one thing we can all count on no matter what happens." Yaiba's voice is soft as he speaks. "At least when he gets home he'll have a new focus." Aion looks out the window.
"Definitely. I'll talk to Rom and see what he thinks about a battle of the bands against those guys." Yaiba opens a book. "First we have to find out who they are." Aion rests his cheek against the top of Crow's head while he continues looking out the window.
"I might already have an idea." A small smile appears on his face. "Really!?" Aion sits up and looks at him.
"I had Retoree look into them. They're a new band located in Under North Zawa. They're called Dokonjofinger. And they're only in highschool. They're known for constantly fighting with each other at all of their concerts but they have talent." Yaiba waves his phone. "No wonder they fired Crow up." Aion smiles.
"Indeed." Yaiba hums. They fall into a comfortable silence and Aion soon drifts off as he continues to look out the window. Yaiba looks over and smiles at the two fast asleep. He snaps a quick picture and sends it to Rom. Things will be getting interesting.
