Night 43: West Wing, South Hall 1-A

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

[from here]

The halls were empty so far, which was probably a good sign. Suzaku was hoping to get a move-on quickly, so they could hurry up and get Yuffie's sword made. The first night he'd been here, he'd been pulled back to his bed the instant he made it outside, so they'd have to move fast if they wanted to make any decent progress. And right now he couldn't afford to focus on anything but just that, making progress.

How Kio hated the way Soubi took things for granted. He could turn him around in a flash, make him do anything he wanted. He could manipulate Kio to his ends and he was powerless to stop it. Sometimes he had to ask himself if he was ready to stop anything.

He recognized Reno quickly. A ghost of a smile passed over his lips. Kio almost craved that simple beginning, when flirting was fun, before the Institute got into his mind and ate it all up. "Hey, Red!" he called loudly, brandishing two of the cigarettes. High currency, from what it seemed.

Silent Sullen One was there too. Kio wondered if the guy was still picking glitter off his chest by now. Hadn't they showered some time ago? Well, glitter was known to be ridiculously hard to peel off. Still. He inclined his head to the sullen one and smiled at the girl with them. Jeez, these people sure were kinky. First that blonde girl, now this one. The got around, eh?

"I understand you have something to trade. Make it quick, I have an appointment to make." He was being brash and stubborn. Kio wanted to go to Sou-chan, for all that it meant being around Ritsuka.

Rude...well, he didn't frown at Cissnei, but he might as well have. Why was she alone? Elena was supposed to be here too, unless she was still tired. Rude ought to check up on her. When Yuffie had asked after her, it had thrown him a bit. She was...alive and was gonna stay that way, but that didn't always mean people were okay. Well, some people. Rude and Reno generally felt pretty damn fine if they were still standing. Elena was still young though. And a girl.

But so was Cissnei. But...was Cissnei ok? Rude had completely chickened out of talking to her about serious things. Whatever. Reno's kinda thing.

Kinda...nice though. This. Lurking around dark halls to make mysterious exchanges and all that. Felt almost normal. Just needed his suit.

Rude watched the weird guy he'd thrown at Reno approach. Apparently he was the one after all the crazy shit. Didn't seem the sort to have a mini operation set up, but whatever. He nudged Reno to make the exchange.

Cissnei seemed oblivious to Rude's frown, or at least, she made a good show of deliberately not noticing it. Perhaps she should have waited longer, but she was a big girl and could take care of herself. If he hadn't realised that by now then there was probably no hope for him. She nodded at Reno and then tensed a little as she heard someone approaching, moving up beside the other Turks in case it was an enemy or a monster. It was neither, but she still eyed the man warily as he approached. A trade? What were they trying to get hold of? And what did they have to trade in any case?

Reno was about to ask about Elena, but the approaching figure distracted him. He tilted his head. Kio. Yeah, he remembered him. Kinda fun. Not a bad kisser. He hadn't expected to run into the guy again, though, but the again, he hadn't given it enough thought to expect not to see him, either.

He shrugged a shoulder, pointed a Rude. "He's running the show. Tell him to haul his ass."

Which was true. Anyway, wasn't like he wanted to lurk here forever, either. That'd be sort of a weird thing to want.

Next time, Rude wasn't even gonna bother doing nice things for Reno. Even if he'd spent the day pretending to be his partner and trying to h- Rude's face hardened slightly. He couldn't even bring himself to think about what he'd done.

He threw the little medical tub to Kio. If the guy tried to run off...yeah right, good luck.

Kio didn't like hanging out in corridors like this, not with Soubi gone. It was too damn dark and really, all he wanted was to get the stuff and go. Silently, he watched everyone, not bothering to introduce himself. When Reno pointed to Rude, and the silent one handed the tub, Kio nodded briefly.

"Thank you." He gave the two cigarettes over, as if to show that was as intended. Sou-chan had suffered in parting with them, so Kio could not afford to give the other away. "Have a safe night."

With that, he turned towards M35 and what awaited within.
