I THINK WE'LL BE OKAY

CHAPTER 61: VISCOSITY, FLUIDITY

"No, Kyoya," sighs Akito. "There isn't extra work we need to do. I'm telling you because he's our brother."

It's not that Kyoya doesn't understand. He does. "And?"

"What do you m—?"

"You know what I mean, 'and'."

CHAPTER 59: HYPOTHETICALS

"Are you going to tell me why we're having to meet like this?"

Kosuke has clearly been dreading the question but knows that it's time to answer. All her tells start going off at once: she spins her toe, she chews on her cheek, she twists her ring. However, she catches herself doing the last one and stops with a glare at the silver band.

"Yes," she says. "Of course I am. I just don't know where to begin."

CHAPTER 58: CINDERS

Kosuke does not waste her solitude pouting and weeping, but neither is she walking on roses.

No. Kosuke spends her time trying to find a way out.

CHAPTER 56: THE MORE THINGS CHANGE

That's when Kosuke realizes, like a punch to the stomach: she is, truly, pathetic.

Because here she is, moping about how she just should've tried harder, when she's not even trying now.

CHAPTER 55: INSIDE OUT

Kosuke perches her hand on her palm and listens raptly. She laughs when she's supposed to, asks the questions she's supposed to, and all the while her eyes have a glaze that Kyoya has seen before.

It's the look she gets when her body stays put but her mind goes to the past. With a nudge or a voice, she usually snaps awake again, but not this time. She's here and she isn't.

Hey, guys!! Sorry for the long wait on ITWBO updates. School is back and I am in shambles. Hopefully I can get the next chapter up soon.

More importantly: my fics are now on ao3 and FFN under the username M4rmalade, not iamconstantine.

Hope to see you guys soon!!

CHAPTER 54: RASPBERRY KISS

Haruhi takes the booklet and flips through the pages. "You want to go to the mall?"

"Us? No," Hikaru scoffs. Beside him, Renge drowns her pancakes in syrup, much to Hitsuji's outrage. "But we know that you two love sales on things that already cost less than pocket change, so we thought, you know."

Translation: We thought it might cheer you up.

CHAPTER 53: APPLES AND ORANGES

The ironic thing is that Kyoya had spent the majority of his life convinced that he was never going to fall in love.

He's fallen in love three times.

If he's not mistaken.

CHAPTER 52: SALT ON YOUR LIPS

Someone knocks at the door.

"Just a second!" Kosuke tiptoes over her luggage, picking her hat from the hook beside the doorframe. "Oh. Hi, Kyoya."

Of course, she'd known he was going to be coming, especially since his father—whom Kosuke is having some very mixed feelings about—mandated a vacation, and she'd been pleased at the thought of him sleeping in a palm-tree hammock rather than collapsed on the deck of the yacht. Still, it's hard not to find the sight of him going out for fun again odd. And it's hard to look at him and not remember what he looked like under the hospital lights, pitch-black bags against snow-pale skin. He looks better. A lot better.

CHAPTER 51: MERELY A MADNESS

Yuuichi snaps his fingers. Loud. Rude. Why? Too close. Looking at Kyoya too close. Squinting. Ten seconds. Nine. Ibuprofen. Troubleshoot the user portal. "You look like you just crawled out of the grave."

His appearance. His appearance? Not good enough. Losing it.

Okay. Breathe.

CHAPTER 50: WHAT’S PAST IS PROLOGUE

Plus, watching that swirl creep closer and closer to the mainland, Kosuke thinks she's looking at a self-portrait.

Maybe if I'm here. Maybe I'm not in the mansion…

She turns to Airi and Sugimoto and asks, "How would you feel about a little slumber party?"

CHAPTER 49:

"If you still want to go to the aquarium, Kyoya can take you and Hitsuji."

Kyoya thinks Kosuke means to emphasize that want. Hitsuji just keeps bouncing and bouncing while Minami doesn't move a muscle, big brown eyes looking between her siblings and Kyoya in turn. Kyoya has never seen her have to compute so hard to come to a decision before. Even curiouser, her answer to do you want to go with Kyoya is not an instant, fiery NO.

Even curiouser, her answer is, "Okay."

The "If you were over 6 feet tall and living in Wellington in 2001 you didn't have a choice my dude" is killing me, like I'm just picturing the LOTR casting directors running around Wellington with a measuring tape, black-bagging tall guys and shoving them into vans.

"You're a Lord of the Rings extra now."

"No! Please! I have a family! I'm supposed to work the closing shift at the Pita Pit tonight!"

"You serve at the pleasure of the Steward of Gondor now."

In yams was Richard working for shield? Is that why he wasn't at the airport with everyone else?

No, Richard was not working for SHIELD. He wasn't at the airport because he was so angry with Tony for putting Peter in harm's way that he couldn't face him.
