" peace is a luxury after everything we’ve been through. " she mutters softly、 squeezing his hand once for comfort — although、 she doesn’t know if she’s comforting him or herself.
⠀
asleep right now. Honestly after this past week I can go for a few drinks.❞
A chuckle escaped his lips. ❝Hey how's about we go to the spot I showed ya the first night we met?❞
⠀
her eyes light up when he mentions drinks. " drinks .ᐣ " she asks excitedly. " you want to drink tonight .ᐣ i could use it after all of the stress in my life. it’s a miracle i haven’t aged terribly like ijichi. "
⠀
⠀
she isn’t paid a large sum like satoru but she is pretty well off as a semi first grade. " it’s nice to see you too. shall we go and tell the kids now .ᐣ "
⠀
⠀
" just because i know what your job consists of doesn’t mean i have to like it. " the miko grumbles、 eyes fluttering closed as she feels his lips press against her forehead.
⠀
and placed a kiss on her forehead. ❝Don't worry about it love, like I said that last job ended with a pretty good pay so I'll cover it all. You can buy the grub if that'd make ya feel better.❞
❝Plus it's just really nice to see ya again.❞
⠀
utahime listens intently as he explains the situation regarding the children. " that’s good. at least they will still be friends. "
she accepts the offer. paying for the food is something she can do.
⠀
⠀
friendships are too precious to be let go so easily、 after spending years together in the orphanage.
" are you sure .ᐣ i can cover half. it’s really not a big deal. i love those kids、 you shouldn’t bear most of the cost. "
⠀
before grabbing a hold of her hand, interlocking their fingers gently.
❝I'll cover the tickets, my last job had a pretty nice pay so I can cover everything and throw in the rest for the orphanage. A few of them even got adopted while you were gone!❞
⠀
her features as he speaks about how some kids have found a home. " that’s great、 nick. i’m glad. hopefully they can still come around and play with their friends .ᐣ "
it may be highly unlikely、 but utahime has hope.
⠀
⠀
" anyway .ᐟ " utahime continued with a wave of her hand. " i was wondering if we could go see the kids .ᐣ i was thinking of starting them off playing the best sport ever — baseball .ᐟ "
⠀
⠀
⠀
" of course it’s me .ᐟ who the hell else is poking you .ᐣ "
furrowing her brow before returning his hug with equal fervor. " don’t tell me gojo or the yellow haired guy is bothering you again . . . "
⠀
❝Eh? Who's the hells poking me?❞
He lifted an eyebrow before realizing who it was, a gentle smile growing on his face.
❝Ah my favorite person!❞ The excitement could be heard in his voice as he suddenly pulled her into a tight hug.
