6/8: eichi
[ He promised nothing would happen. He wouldn't let anything happen. Please don't let anything have happened—- ]
EICHIIIIIIIIIIII!! EICHI!! EICHI EICHI EICHI!!!
[ screams his name up and down the castle trying to find him, leaping up the stairs two or three steps at a time, flinging open bedroom doors at random without a care for privacy, frantically searching everywhere he can for Eichi, one hand cupped at the side of his mouth as he shouts.
There's something else clenched in his other hand, a tight fist that he doesn't relax throughout the entire time. ]

It's about the same since I arrived here, but it's much worse than I was before. [But alright, he'll gently take Natsuo's hand. Hmm.]
You're fairly healthy, but you should take better care of your hands, Natsuo-kun. [His own slender, beautiful fingers are unfair, but at least take care of the hangnails...]
no subject
but he looks surprised at the deduction- ] Yeah, I'm healthy! It's amazing you could tell!! [ It's something you could tell just by looking at his face, or hearing his voice, but. Also the fact about not taking care of his hands- the knuckles are rough, a little scratched up, like he's used to fighting. ]
no subject
Fufu, if there ever comes a day where this becomes useful, I wonder if I'd be of some help? In the meantime... [Still holding his hand, gently like the prince he is, he runs his thumb over those knuckles.] I'll ask again that you take better care of your hands.
no subject
Um. Uh! [ having his hand held like that is embarrassing but he can't physically run away or Eichi will drop to the ground ] It's fine! They're fine! I take care of them!
no subject
Your knuckles tell me that you're something of a street thug. [He has one butler formally street thug in fine, he knows fighting fists when he sees them!!]
no subject
It's more respectable than that! It's a gang!
no subject
[It calms him to hear this wild shit]
no subject
It was a middle school gang! Did you guys have one? My gang brothers and I would hang out at school every day and make sure nobody messes with our town!
no subject
[So, no gang times for him.] Fufu, so you were some sort of protective gang?
no subject
If anybody not in our gang messes with the people in our town— fighting on the streets or disturbing the peace or something, we go and beat 'em up!
no subject
[He hums, though it turns into a harsh cough, and his free hand has to grab onto a wall even as they're walking.]
no subject
[ WHY IS THERE NO MEDICINE HERE ]
no subject
[He wants tea... Give him tea.]
no subject
And Natsuo shrugs Eichi off so he can turn around and lift him into a princess carry- sorry, they'll get there faster this way and every second counts when somebody is actively dying. ]
no subject
[He's clearly startled, clutching onto Natsuo for dear life. HE'S TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND]
W-what are you doing?! Put me down! You'll drop me like this! You— [cough choke hack]
no subject
I'm carrying you! I absolutely don't drop you, so just believe in me!
[ It seems like something he's used to— capable, too, in that his arms don't shake in the slightest, and he keeps his arms loose but close so that Eichi doesn't get shaken very much every time he takes a step. ]
no subject
[He's embarrassed more than anything else. His pride? At least he's too busy coughing to fight much, and he gives in, relaxing, making it easier. It is comfortable, somehow.]
no subject
[ It's not embarrassing at all. For Natsuo. ]
no subject
Despite my delicate appearance, I am a man, you know, so I'd prefer not to be carried around like luggage. Especially when my legs dangle so close to the ground like this...
no subject
[ Look at all the care and consideration he puts into carrying Eichi! He'll even go ahead and lift him up just a little higher so that his legs don't dangle so close to the ground?? why is that a concern for him ]
no subject
[He's tall and Natsuo is short and this is hard to deal with, okay!! He also has complicated feelings about being carried in general. He likes it... but he doesn't?? His image...]
no subject
But Natsuo quiets down obediently, holding Eichi a little closer and quickening his pace so they can both get it over with. ]
...It's a friend carry. I said that before, right? Let me carry you so I can ease your burdens, even just a little.
no subject
[He grows quiet after that, even letting his eyes close to get rid of the nausea that's not coming from Natsuo's motions, but his own illness. He hates this weak body. Still, after a few moments, he speaks again.]
Natsuo-kun, when you first approached, was there something in your hand? I had tried to look by examining your fingernails, but I wasn't able to grab the right one. [He tried to PEEK]
no subject
Ah- yeah, it was a needle. I put it in my pocket 'cause I didn't want it to poke you.
[ ... ]
no subject
A... needle? Why a needle? Should that sort of thing be in your pocket, right now?
