After The Storm~ Kali Uchis ft Tyler the Creator

(Scene 1)
[Gouenji-Fubuki residence, Saturday 9.45am]

Fubuki enters through the front door, sighs before shaking off his light jacket, which is speckled with raindrops, and throwing it unceremoniously onto the stairs.

Gouenji: (Appears from the kitchen, arms folded. Low, scathing) Where were you, I've been calling you all morn-
(He stops, seeing the tired look and the faint puffiness of his husband's eyes.
Fubuki replies with what sounds like a quiet 'sorry', he does not look up.)

Fubuki: (Quietly) Where's Sach?

Gouenji: (slowly, quietly) Still sleeping. I didn't want to disturb him.

(Fubuki nods his head before picking his coat up off the stairs and hanging it loosely on the bannister, it falls off. He does not pick it up, instead he walks into the kitchen and turns on the kettle. Gouenji raises an eyebrow and follows him, watching as Fubuki pours sugar into a mug, spilling half of it but not bothering to clean it up. Gouenji tsks, scooping the excess into the palm of his hand and thinking for a moment before throwing the granules in the bin.)

Fubuki: (Leaning back on the counter, breaks the silence. Breathily) I wasn't going to go today but- I just felt moved to, I was praying last night and-

Gouenji: (looking out of the window, interrupts, softly) Yeah I heard you, heard you crying.

Fubuki: (Nods slowly. Quietly) I just felt like I was being told to go...

(Gouenji puts away a cup on the draining board, he couldn't help but notice the bags under his husband's eyes.)

Gouenji: (low) You get any sleep?

Fubuki: (tiredly) I slept on the flight. There and back.

Gouenji: (furrows his eyebrows) You flew?

(Fubuki just nods slowly, mumbling something about not wanting to be away from Sacha for too long. Gouenji sighs and turns to face the other. He crosses his arms, about to speak when the kettle whistles a high-pitched squeal)

Fubuki: (distant) It's been four months, that's the longest ever.

Gouenji: (Uncrosses his arms. Direct) Well you're getting better-

Fubuki: (Pushes himself off the counter and walks out of the kitchen, walks up the stairs. Flatly) It's not that...(Sighs, breathy) I just-I felt, I shouldn't be trying to push myself not to visit-

Gouenji: (Walking up the stairs behind him. Pleadingly) -But you know it makes you sad when you go there, I thought we agreed. I thought Dr Miyagi told you to space them out more; so you don't get too...overwhelmed?

Fubuki: (Stops, turns to look at Gouenji.) Dr Miyagi? Shuuya I'm not with him anymore. I've been seeing Dr Cho for months now! (Agitated, turns away and keeps walking, his footsteps a little heavier) You know this! (Mumbles  to himself)

Gouenji: (Loud, exasperated.) Since when! (Calms down a bit, quieter) It's a little hard to keep track...sorry.

(Fubuki doesn't respond, they make it upstairs, Gouenji wants to say something but Fubuki takes a b-line to Sacha's room. He opens the door quietly, checking he's still sleeping, a tiny smile breaks onto his face, but soon disappears when Gouenji puts hand on his shoulder)
Gouenji: (Quiet, concerned) I'm just trying to look out for you, I don't like you going out to the cemetery by yourself like this, we promised we'd always go together...remember?

Fubuki: (Breathy) I know I know but... I felt, I felt that I should- (he huffs at Gouenji's unconvinced face) I know you can't understand Shuuya.

(Fubuki walks across the hallway to their bedroom, his husband following, he opens the door and turns to Gouenji, a confused look on his face)

Fubuki: What did you do? What did you do with all my stuff?

Gouenji: (surveying the room) What do you mean I? I just cleaned it up a bit. (quietly) I don't want Sacha to think we're messy people.

Fubuki: (in disbelief, he begins opening up the draws and pulling his clothes out, dumping them on the floor) Oh! So that's all you care about is it? Fine! Let him think I'm 'messy' even if the rest of the house is immaculate! (He stops and takes a few deep breaths, quieter) You can't just...please...don't touch my stuff...

Gouenji: (pulls a hand down his face) For Christ sake Shirou, all I did was just move some things around. Did you even take your medication this morning? (Concerned) You were perfectly fine yesterday!

(Fubuki's face crumbles, but he shakes his head and refuses to cry. He takes a few deep breaths as before, then strides over to his husband, taking his hand)

Fubuki: (frustrated and upset) How can you say something like that? Shuuya, why would you say that to me? Of course I took it!

Gouenji: (grips Fubuki's hands tightly in his own, bringing them closer together. Concerned) Shirou. I know you hate those things, I just thought...

Fubuki: (sighs longingly, pushing himself away slightly) Shuuya, I  don't hate them, sure maybe sometimes I don't feel like I want to take them but the majority of the time-no- most of the time I actually want to. It's the first thing I think about every morning because I know how important it is that I take them, and I know what will happen if I just stop. They're working Shuuya, they make me feel...even just a little bit better every day, a little bit more normal-I promised you Shuuya, that I wouldn't give up; so don't you give up on me...

Gouenji: (closes his eyes and embraces his husband, resting his chin on Fubuki's soft hair. Sincere) I'm sorry Shirou I- (he lets out a shaky breath) I just-I just want you to get better so badly I- (he presses his face into his husband's soft hair)

(They stay like that for a few moments, neither of them saying a word. The alarm clock in Sacha's room goes off but neither of them move from the embrace, Sacha groans from the other room and the alarm stops. Fubuki looks up, placing his hands on either side of his husband's face and looks into Gouenji's eyes, which are glistening as though he is about to cry. Fubuki sighs, tracing his thumbs underneath the other's eyes)

Fubuki: (quiet) It's not just gonna get better over night, you know that. I want to get better too, believe me I can't wait until that day comes but until then (he thumbs away a small tear that has fallen from Gouenji's eye) you're just gonna have to be patient with me. And you need to accept that the days that are the hardest for me, they aren't always gonna be the ones you expect. But I want you to know that I'm fighting okay Shuuya, I'm fighting this, I'm taking medication, I'm getting therapy, I'm still trying, because I'm not gonna let this beat me. And I'm proud of myself for that Shuuya, it's not much but it's a start to getting my life back, it's as much as I can do right now but it's enough. Okay? I'm gonna get through this. We're gonna get through this.

Gouenji: (anguished) I just-I feel like everything I do, nothing helps. I can't make you happy, all we ever do now is fight. (Teary, he reaches out for his husband with trembling hands, but he retracts then before his fingertips reach that snow-white skin) I don't-I don't know what to do it's overwhelming Shirou. I try to keep things regimented for you, but that doesn't work...it's like I'm making things worse...

(Fubuki shakes his head slowly, he looks up at Gouenji before pressing their foreheads together, Gouenji's breathing is getting faster as Fubuki attempts to slow down his own, he hushes his husband soothingly, pulling back to see the small tears sliding down Gouenji's face)

Fubuki: (softly) It doesn't work like that I'm afraid. Your intentions are good, but all I want is for you to be there for me, to support me, to understand me (his hands drift from the sides of Gouenji's face to rest on his chest) I want you to understand that sometimes I'm gonna need my space, need to find my own peace, my way...otherwise it can get too...suffocating...
(He looks at the floor) I'm not always and I can't always be positive or productive and I won't apologise for that- I just ask that you understand that and respect me; don't tell me to calm down or just be positive, because that's not always...helpful.

Gouenji: (sorrowful, quiet) You're right, god I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry Shirou I- (he wipes the tears from his eyes, laughing pitifully) You must think I'm so stupid, crying like this...

(Fubuki looks up, he reaches a hand up, fingertips tracing the tear stains on his husband's cheek)

Fubuki: (softly) Not at all. It's good to cry, to show emotion, you shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed-it's healthy-like Dr Miyagi said... (he laughs softly) I like seeing this side of you, reminds me that you're still human inside... (he plants a lingering kiss on the other's cheek)

(Gouenji lets out a light laugh before embracing Fubuki, the two hold each other lovingly. There is a knock at the door. Sacha peeks his head into the room)

Sacha: (sleepily) Mornin' Dad, Shirou... (he yawns)

Fubuki: (laughs softly, detaching himself from his husband, he walks over to Sacha and ruffles his hair) Guten Morgen Sachi, are you hungry?
(Sacha nods his head)
Good! How does Müsli, Brot und Honig, und Ei sound? And uh (thinks for a moment) Sa- Saft? (He looks at Sacha for confirmation on his pronunciation, the boy just smiles back at him, Fubuki can't help but smile too with pride. Gouenji shakes his head in disbelief at the two of them.)

Sacha: (happily) Apfelsaft bitte!

Fubuki: (heading downstairs with Sacha) Sounds good to me! (To Gouenji) See? I'll be as good as you someday!

(Gouenji grabs his arm, pulling him close. He puts a hand out, to stroke his husband's face but he stops mere inches from Shirou's pale skin. His hand shakes in the air and Shirou grabs it, holding it tightly.)

Gouenji: (low, quiet, his voice and body is shaky) ...Shirou, I-

Fubuki: (leans forwards and kisses his husband's cheek chastely. Quiet, but assuredly) Not now. Later, okay? We'll talk...really talk, later.

(Scene 2)
[Aki's house, 11.55 am]

Haruna walks into the living room, headphones on, holding two planks of wood and a screwdriver.

Haruna: (sighs heavily) Well...I know they say Rome wasn't built in a day but I really think this cot has defeated me.
(She stretches and lays the wood and equipment down on the sofa. She turns around and jumps)
Oh God! I didn't know you were here, you frightened me! When did you get here?

Fuyuka: (smiles awkwardly, quietly) I've been here for ten minutes?

Haruna: (Shocked) ...Really?

Aki: (Coming in from the kitchen, taps Haruna's headphones) I suppose you can't hear anything through those? (Concerned, places her hands on her hips) You'll damage your ears if you're not careful...

Haruna: (groans) Ughhhh you sound like Yuuto. (Hugs Aki and pulls down headphones) Okay mum, I'll stop.

(Aki points to the planks, Haruna huffs, dusting her hands off.)
Haruna: That cot is the damn devil!
(Aki makes a face, Haruna rolls her eyes) I mean...can't Ichinose put this thing up for you?

Aki: (laughs) He has offered but...it's not really his forte, not surprising since he has an aversion to instructions of any kind. (Chuckles lightly) I'm the one that always does it but now...

Haruna: (Lights up) Fuyuka! How would you like to give it a try?

Fuyuka: Uh...

Haruna: (Mock desperation, dramatic) Please! I can't bring myself to do it anymore! I'll even pay you!

Fuyuka: (Scratches her cheek. Meekly) I-I can give it a shot I suppose, I'm not all that good though..

Aki: (sits down heavily on the couch and breathes out, rubbing her belly a little. Tiredly) Leave her alone Haruna.

Haruna: (Sighs) Fiiine. (Quickly) Oh! How rude of me! What can I get you? (Walking into kitchen)

Aki: It's my house.

Haruna: (Smirks) What can Aki get you? Tea? Coffee?

(Fuyuka tilts her head to the side, looking rather weary, Haruna frowns)

Haruna: Perhaps something a little stronger...
(She goes into the kitchen, rummaging around a bit before coming back out, a mandarin red bottle of brandy in her hand.)

Haruna: (Holds up the drink, inspecting it) You like Peach right? It was a gift, from Nats actually, for the Zurich show. I hate the stuff but I obviously couldn't bring myself to throw it out.

Aki: (raises an eyebrow) so you just regifted- (shakes her head) actually have you heard from Nats lately?

Haruna: (pouring a glass for Fuyuka, trying not to spill it) Lately? (She wipes the lip of the bottle with her finger) No, why?

Aki: (troubled) I don't know, I suppose I'm just a little worried about her. I've not had a chance to speak to her (rubs belly) or go to see her for that matter. And she's not posted on instagram lately either-that's unlike her (chews lip in thought) I keep trying to call her but I just get voicemail all the time...

Fuyuka: (swirling the brandy around in her glass. Quietly) It feels like years since we last spoke...

Aki: I just know something's up, we're best friends, she can tell me anything!

Haruna: (Blasé) Well she didn't shut up when we were in Zurich...anyway, I'm sure she's fine, probably just wants her space. (Sighs, softer) Can't imagine how she must be dealing with everything alone like that.

Aki: (Furrows eyebrows and attempts to sit up a little) Dealing with what alone?

(Haruna looks between the two of them, forming an 'O' with her mouth. She takes a sharp breath)
Haruna: She didn't tell you?

(Fuyuka looks up from her glass, Aki leans forward, again with some difficulty)
Aki: Tell us what? Did she break up with Yosuke?

Haruna: (Evasive) Ehhh something like that. (Suddenly angry) And fucking finally might I add! Only took me telling her for the 100th time for her to understand! Arrogant, selfish little shithead he was! And spoilt too! I told her, I told her to drop his ass (hand on her hip, waves her finger around) 'he doesn't deserve you Nats, you deserve so much better than that pile of crap you call a boyfriend' Fucking prick he was!

Aki: (Softly) Language. (Pats belly)
(Haruna makes a frustrated noise)

Aki: You're right though. (Smiles softly) Well I'm glad for her, glad he's gone now.

Fuyuka: (Quietly) Who's Yosuke?
(Haruna and Aki look at her)

Haruna: (disbelief) WOW, you really have missed out on all the goss haven't you? Nats really doesn't keep you in the loop.
(Fuyuka's face drops, Aki holds her hands up)
Aki: Wait a second. Haruna, are you sure that's all there is, I mean I understand she's upset but... (Lowers hands, frowns slightly) I thought she'd at least tell me, I'm her best friend?

(Haruna laughs nervously and shrugs her shoulders)

Aki: No, you know what? That's fine. If she needs to be alone to cope with this that's absolutely fine by me. She doesn't have to tell me everything, I'm not her mother right Fuyuka? (Laughs lightly)

Fuyuka: (Forced smile) I mean she doesn't tell me anything.

(Haruna is practically bouncing around on the spot, she balls her hands into fists)
Haruna: (Excitable) Okay! She made me promise not to tell you guys but but you've forced my hand okay! She told me she's pregnant! (Claps hand over mouth)

Aki: Well... (Looks over at Fuyuka. Looks back at Haruna and smiles widely) That's wonderful news! Ooh I need to go and congratulate her right now!

Haruna: (Waves her hands around frantically) No you can't! I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone! Besides, you're...supposed to be taking things easy, think of your...blood pressure!

Aki: (Sharply) Haruna, honey, I'm pregnant, not infirm. I can go outside thank you very much, right Fuyuka? (Fuyuka nods as Aki gets to her feet) Plus, I'm probably the best person to talk to her right now, I can give her advice and whatnot. (Stops for a moment. Serious) And she's gonna need a good support network. (Clasps hands together) Oh! And there's a bunch of spare baby stuff I could give her.

Haruna: True, (laughs) hey, Ichinose does know you're having twins right, not octuplets?

Aki: (laughs sweetly) He went a little overboard bless him, though Dom's even worse. He's ordered a bunch of bedazzled onesies for the twins. (shakes head)

Haruna: Poor guy. (Thinks for a moment) You think he's lonely?
(She shakes her head quickly, remembering what she was supposed to be doing, she grabs hold of Aki's shoulders) -Just...at least wait for her to come to you, you don't wanna...pounce on her.

Aki: (Looks at the door, then back at Haruna, sighs) Well...I suppose it couldn't hurt to wait a bit. She'll tell me when she's ready. I suppose we shouldn't just barge in if she wants some privacy.

Haruna: (turns to Fuyuka) You two heard nothing about this, okay?

(Fuyuka and Aki nod their heads as Aki goes back to her seat, exhaling sharply as she takes the weight off her feet.
Fuyuka is drinking her brandy glumly, Haruna raises her eyebrow.)

Haruna: (hands on her hips) And what's up with you huh? Why are you moping around for?

Fuyuka: (audible sigh) Oh?...It's nothing.

Haruna: Uhum? Bullshit.

Aki: What's wrong hun? You look so sad.

Fuyuka: (quiet) It's nothing...really...I don't wanna bother you guys...

Haruna: (huffs) Oh please. (Softer) What's up? Come on you can tell us. What's up you funky lesbian?

(Fuyuka looks between the two of them, Aki smiles sympathetically at her, urging her to speak, Fuyuka looks into her glass before taking in a breath.)
Fuyuka (quietly, still looking into the bottom of her glass) Really, it's not that important. We don't have to talk about it.

Haruna: (frustrated) Just tell us already! (Calms down a bit when she sees the look Aki gives her) You'll feel a lot better.

(Fuyuka stays silent a little longer, Haruna wants to say something but Aki shoots her another warning glare. After a few minutes Fuyuka lets out one final sigh before pulling her eyes away from the bottom of her glass and looking at her two friends.)

Fuyuka: (Quiet) It's about Anja. Her family is coming to stay with us for a week and I suppose I'm just a little nervous to meet them-

Haruna: (Cutting in) But you've met them before-what's there to be worried about?

Fuyuka: (anxious) But this is different! They're staying over, for a whole week, what if I do something that makes them not like me, what if I mess up or they think I'm no good for Anja, what if something terrible happens!
(Quiet) Besides, they said they want to meet my dad, but if that happens it'll be even worse-you know what he's like, they won't get along at all.

Haruna: (raises an eyebrow) You're kidding right? You're literally the sweetest, most kindest person I know! (Laughs lightly) Hell you're even better than Aki and that's saying something! Aki's a total angel!

Aki: Don't worry hun, it'll be fine- they'll love you. I really don't think it'll be as bad as you're making it out to be. You'll see.

Fuyuka: (quietly) If you say so. Im probably overthinking it, like always...

Aki: (comfortingly) Everything will be fine Fuyuka.

Haruna: (Giddily) You and Anja are such couple goals you're just so cute together! (Jokily) Ah I hate it!

Aki: Speaking of couple goals, how's it going with that waiter guy you were dating?

Haruna: Oh that? (Waves hand and takes a seat, blasé) Old news, didn't work out.

Aki: (slightly awkward) Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Haruna: (shakes her head, nonchalant) Don't worry about it. I didn't think much would come out of it anyway. I mean he was a nice enough guy but we just didn't click y'know?
(Lets out a long sigh) So it looks like I'm on the hunt again (sarcastic) how fun! (She leans back in her seat, arms crossed behind her head. Her face falls. Quiet) Yuuto says I have to hurry up and find a man and get married soon. (Sudden obnoxious laugh, loud) Ha! And you know what I told him? I said 'when you get married Yuuto, I will'. (Laughs again) Those two will never get married. Actually, I wouldnt be surprised if they've broken up, again.

Aki: (sympathetic) Don't say that-

Haruna: (honest, her voice becomes sterner, but she acts like it's a joke) -It's the truth! (Her voice gets louder but she doesn't realise it) Those two- I don't understand why you'd date someone if you can't stand them, surely that's just a recipe for disaster. Like Fudou's Fudou but Ki's just as bad, he's got about as much social skills as a sponge and he can be such a drain to be around, not to mention they're total opposites, plus you know how my brother is with relationships-he hates the whole idea of them (getting louder) which, again makes me ask why in the hell he decided to date Fudou in the first place!

Aki: Well...relationships can be difficult-

Haruna: (frustrated, she stands up) Like I'm sorry but why in the hell does he get to constantly lecture me on finding a man to settle down with, to get married, when his relationship is a total train wreck!

Aki: (voice a little quieter than before) Come on- don't say things like that. (Trying to be cheerier, she smiles at Haruna softly) You'll find someone, don't worry!

Haruna: (completely disregarding her, throws her arms out, angry) Like what the fuck! What's it to him anyway?! It's none of his stupid business! What if I don't ever want to get married huh? What then?!

(Aki tries to sit forward and grab the hem of the dress Haruna's wearing, but her bump makes it difficult. Haruna isn't paying attention, but she stops when she feels a tug on her dress- Fuyuka.)

Haruna: (looks at the the floor, almost a whisper, tears forming in her eyes) It's not- it's not fair... (She wipes away the tears with her sleeves before taking in a deep breath. She looks up and plasters a smile on her face) It's just crazy though- (straining) like two of my best friends are having kids, (looks over at Fuyuka) and the other's in the perfect relationship! (Strained laugh) It really sucks! Seriously sucks! (Sniffs a little.)

(Aki shakes her head sympathetically and pats the space on the sofa next to her. Haruna sighs deeply and sits, leaning on Aki's shoulder. Fuyuka gets up quietly from her seat and joins the other two, she gives Haruna a small hug)

Aki: (gentle, combing through Haruna's hair lightly with her fingertips) Haruna, life isn't all about just doing what everyone else does, getting married, having children- that's only one in a million different ways your life journey can go. Everyone lives there life differently, the journey's never the same-

Fuyuka: -I can attest to that.

Aki: Success will look different to different people, look at what you've achieved in just the last three years! Launched your own business, had an amazing show in Zurich, and you did it all alone whilst being unapologetically yourself and not putting up with anyone's (she smiles) nonsense.

Fuyuka: Yes, I love your designs, all the doctors at the practice asked me to get some signed copies of the magazine too. You've really done amazingly. (Smiles softly)

Aki: (softly, calmly) Don't compare your life with other people's okay? Everyone's on their own little journey.

Haruna: (light smile) Well my journey's sure had a load of potholes in it.

Aki: (gentle laugh) Don't all the best ones though? Life would be pretty boring if there were no challenges in it.

Haruna: (laughs softly) I guess you're right. (Sighs but smiles at the two friends either side of her before springing to her feet. Jokily) Maybe I'll just marry Nats instead.

Aki: (laughs) I don't think I could see you two together.

Haruna: (gasps dramatically) I'm offended! I'd be an amazing wife! And we'd be a hot couple too, come on Fuyuka you think me and Nats would be good right?

Fuyuka: uhhhh

Haruna: Wow. Thanks guys.

Fuyuka: (sudden) Oh, Aki- (pulls a neatly folded slip of paper from her pocket, opens it gently) I thought of some names for-

Haruna: (cutting in, hyper) -Oh! I have some too! (Clears her throat) Ahem! Sato, for sugar, since she's bound to be as sweet as you Aki, or Hoshi-star, because it's pretty and I'm sure she'll be a star one day.

Aki: (expectant) And...for my son?

Haruna: (rubs her chin) hmm and I guess for the boy you could call him... (thinks for a moment. Smiles widely, loudly) Tatsuo- dragon man! (Dramatic) Strike fear into the hearts of your enemies with an awesome name like that!

Aki: (laughs) Well that's certainly...a name. (Laughs again) That's something Domon would definitely suggest... (she turns to Fuyuka, who's been sitting there patiently for Haruna to finish. Softly) What about you Fuyuka?

Fuyuka: (quietly) Well...I was just thinking, maybe Seiko, for the girl, as in success or Nozomi- hope...or Kane for the boy, meaning Golden. (Rather shyly) I know this is rather specific but depending on when they are born you could do something like Akemi for the boy- beautiful dawn, or Akira for either, meaning bright and clear dawn, or Tetsuya- clear evening or you could name them after a season?

Haruna: (beaming) Yes! What about Haru? It's pretty, plus then it'd be 'Spring' and 'Autumn' (smiles cheekily) also because it's almost Haruna and any child would be blessed to have a name close to mine!

Aki: (laughs softly) I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

The doorbell rings. Haruna waltzes over to open the door, letting out a noise of joy.

Haruna: (walking back into the living room) The boys are back! (Ichinose appears behind her, carrying shopping)

Aki: Hi sweetie, how was the shopping?

Ichinose: (puts his bags down on the sofa and goes over to kiss Aki on the cheeks) No problems, I'm pretty sure we got everything.
And I picked up a little something for dinner (turns to Haruna and Fuyuka) I don't suppose you'd like to join us?

Haruna: I could never say no to free food, or to Dom's cooking.

Fuyuka: uhh yeah, that would be very nice thank you, I'll just let Anja know-

Ichinose: Why not invite her along? The more the merrier!

(Fuyuka smiles and begins typing away on her phone)

Domon: (places a box on the sofa arm) Yo ladies!

Aki: (laughs) Hey Domon. We've just been discussing some baby names.

Domon: That's nice, but they've got no chance against Dom II and Dom III!

Haruna: (laughs) That's amazing. Now what's in the box?

Domon: (grinning) I got those bedazzled onesies I was talking about. See? (Opens the box and pulls out the sparkly baby grows)

Haruna: (genuine) I can't believe I'm saying this, but those are actually pretty cute!

Aki: (sighs) Yes I suppose they are. (Smiles at him) I was wrong to be so sceptical.

(Domon smiles back as Ichinose begins to put away the shopping. Haruna walks up to Domon and links arms with him)

Haruna: Come on Dom, let's leave the happy couple in peace, you and me are going to the Water Witch.

Domon: Right now?

Haruna: Yep! Mama needs a drink...or three. You coming with us Fuyuka?

Fuyuka: (smiles softly) You two go on, I'm going to head home for a bit.

Aki:(hastily) Don't be late! Remember Domon you're cooking!

Domon: (mock salute) Yes Captain! (Haruna laughs beside him and the two of them head out into the hallway. Domon turns to Haruna) You just want to get out of fixing the cot.

Haruna: (Laughing) I'm never touching the thing again.

((Wow it's been a hot minute since the last update. Uni's been really busy but I hope you all enjoy anyway! Sorry it's so long!
