Day 21 - Sun Room

[soul-defender.livejournal.com]

Ichigo was only too eager to leave the cafeteria and its fresh memories behind when the softened chime of the intercome rang clear. What had begun as another ordinary meal, a rather agreeable one despite the lack of the proper utensils, quickly became somewhat unnerving. His conversation with...what was his name again?...took so many sharp turns, he should've felt dizzy. It was easy to feel a little sorry for the guy, though; surrounded by stangers in a very strange place, it was hard to blame him for being so alarmed.

The Sun Room occurred as a more enjoyable choice to spend the time; he had nothing against music, but something about being surrounded by some of the most unruly characters he'd ever met, each of them armed with cacophonous weaponry, didn't sound smart. Once his nurse departed, the young man picked out a cozy little spot near a flood of sunshine and settled in, cradling his head in the palms of his hands. There, he stared up almost bitterly at the ceiling with sharply focused eyes, still exuding the same unapproachable sense of being as ever.

The room was warm, even a little comforting, for any of the tired, weary masses found in Landel's halls, or even those who just craved a little peace and quiet. All he could hear, from end of the room, were soft footfalls and hushed voices. That sounded just fine to the 'berry head.

"Aww, but I won't be bothering you," Yuffie pointed out. "I could like.. keep guard outside your door or something. You know, make sure you sleep well and all. I'm just concerned is all." And curious. And the curiosity usually won out in the end.

"I don't believe you. Just stay the fuck away from my room. Damn..." Barret was starting to get pissed off with her proding, setting him off edge and wanting to squirm. He refused to tell her his plans, as she was sure to tease him and make his life miserable.

Despite the urge to grin, Yuffie scrunched up her face in a mockery of a scowl. "I don't believe you, either, and I'm disappointed that you'd lie about it." Barret's exact words to her a few moments ago thrown back at him. The ninja was quite pleased with herself.

"But fine. Keep your dirty little secrets. I'll just go bug someone else then. And I hope you get eaten by something horrible while you're--" Yuffie made quote marks with her fingers, "--'hiding in your room' and 'sleeping'."

Barret didn't say anything at all. Not one thing.

Instead he lunged a foot beneath her seat and thrust a hand forward at the back support to throw her from the chair. Wallace could only take so much before he was ready to blow a gasket.

"THEN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!"

Within moments, a stern looking nurse was walking briskly - just short of running - towards the commotion. One hand was in the pocket of her uniform, the other gesturing for another staff member to join her.

"MR FISCHER!" she bellowed, eyes narrowed as she instructed the other, younger nurse to see the poor girl that Fischer had lunged for.

Barret looked over at the nurse, an irritated glare in his eyes. The peak of his frustration passed, realizing it was a stupid reason to get in to some kind of trouble over. If he were to be punished, he preferred for it to be other something less trivial.

Without a further look to Yuffie, he brought his gaze to his feet, attempting, with much difficulty, to keep his voice at an even tone, "Just take me to my room..."

Yuffie had yipped in surprise as Barret suddenly lunged forward and flipped her chair, sending her onto her butt on the floor. "Owww! You jerk!" she complained, climbing back to her feet and rubbing her sore behind.

But then there were nurses and Yuffie really didn't want to deal with them again today... "Ah, I'm ok! No harm," she announced with a grin, waving off the whole incident. Hopefully, she could just slip away to the other side of the room without being noticed...

"I think that would be a very good idea, Mr. Fischer." The nurse nodded, sharp eyes on the young girl. She looked alright.

"Why don't you go and sit down, dear?" she said, smiling. The poor thing! She really was going to have to keep a closer eye on Mr. Fischer.

The nurse took her hand out of her pocket - empty - and began wheeling Mr. Fischer out of the Sun Room.

Hearing the name Fischer almost made him want to lash out again. He was bottling a lot of emotion, and wasn't used to having to do such a thing. He realized he was liable to place himself in a very compromising position if he weren't too careful. So this time, he simply bit his tongue against the will to explode and allowed the nurse to take him away. He contemplated apologizing to Yuffie, but she'd probably scoff at him.

What he was sure of now was his mood was as sour as it could probably get.
