百四; 「accidental video」

[saucey]

[When the feed starts, nothing can really be seen. It's dark out, time stamp stating 2:30 am. Someone couldn't sleep, it looks like.

After a couple of minutes, the PCD adjusts to the lack of lighting, and one can barely make out the illumination of Sasuke's feet with the sound of soft rain in the background. He sees the glow and picks it up, the dead grass beneath him rustling at the movement. As he moved the PCD, there's a quick flash - albeit it dimly lit thanks to the device - of a tombstone. There's one character that can be seen during this: う.

When the PCD turns over and shows Sasuke's face, it's completely blank, void of all emotion right before he turns it off.

It's that time of year again.]

[Worst date ever.]

It's been wet lately. Don't catch a cold.

[saucey]

[Totally. The angels can only distract him so much.]

I won't.

[Hitsugaya didn't even notice the PCD video. It was 2:30 in the morning, and he'd managed to get to sleep earlier than usual. It had been nice, until he realized that Uchiha Sasuke was missing. A sweep of his senses pinned Sasuke's chakra location at the graveyard. Figured.

He wasn't entirely awake, but he was getting there, and he quickly pulled on some of the clothes Sasuke had given him for Christmas (that was part of the deal, right?). Snagging an umbrella, he headed out. It was going to be a long day.]

[He wasn't going to be moving anytime soon. He was just sitting there, wet, and staring at the recently-marked tombstone. It'd only been three months since he had last seen his parents, really, and technically they have been dead for eight years now.

It just happened to hit harder this year, with actually being able to live with them again for a couple of weeks.

Sasuke didn't budge, didn't make a sound, didn't do anything to acknowledge Hitsugaya's presence when the shinigami did arrive.]

[Hitsugaya frowned at the complete lack of outward reaction. It made him uneasy, but he'd seen Sasuke mourning more than once, and with the other boy at the graveyard so early in the morning, he hadn't been expecting a "Hi, how are you? Weather's great today," either. He stood back for some time, just watching, but finally he stepped forward until his toes nearly scraped Sasuke's back and tipped the umbrella so that it covered Sasuke instead. The shinobi was already wet, but if he wasn't going to move to any sort of shelter, Hitsugaya would just have to bring the shelter to him.]

[Winry can't sleep either. But that's mostly because she has been up working on a new arm for Ed, and thanking God Negi gave her that bracelet as a present to keep her energy going. She sees the post, and can tell it's personal, not sure she should say anything or not, but looking at the post, a tug at her heart.]

Sasuke....

You gonna' be alright?

[hyuugahime]

... Sasuke-kun ?

[saucey]

[Sorry Hinata, he's not in the best of talkative moves.]

Hn?

[hyuugahime]

... Take care of yourself, Sasuke-kun.

[She's been around Uchihas long enough now to understand what ths is about, so she won't say anything, but she might bring him - and Shirou some hot tea or infusion to drink a bit later on ?]

[saucey]

[That's fine. He'll probably need it.]

[bunny_flower]

[She'll wait a litle while.

Permission to threadhop at a convenient time ?]

[ff_red_turk]

[Someone else who knows about it and just watches. Sasuke might notice a gargoyle-like silhouette on a building nearby if he finally decides to pay attention to his surroundings at one point. Mama Chocobo is out and watchful.]

[saucey]

[Sorry Vinny, but he won't notice you at all. Hitsugaya might, though.]

[Zuko knows that look of loss. He's felt it since he's lost his own mother. He knows better than to interrupt such things, but he remains quiet, with the barest moment of sadness in his eyes. Another birthday gone by without his own mother. He can only imagine who Sasuke lost to express that amount of pain.]

I didn't know this place had a graveyard.

[This is how Zuko offers condolences. Excuse the socially awkward. They do terribly in moments of emotional duress.]

[Video]

[saucey]

[Except, Zuko, Sasuke's lost his entire family. Even the distant cousins and aunts and uncles and pets. All because his village was afraid and his father was selfish.]

Ah. [Excuse him for not being talkative today.]

[hits-then-heals.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't stay out there for too long, Sasuke. It won't do you any good right now to get sick.

[saucey]

I'll be fine.

[As long as he isn't agitated by his family, that is.]

[Itachi doesn't need to even guess at the implications. He knows what day it is to day. He'll admit, he tends to get on edge during this day, but this recording wasn't what he wanted to see. He's staring, showered in the darkness of his own room.

He knew better than to be out in the rain.]

What are you doing.

[saucey]

[Good aniki.]

...Sitting.
