[timey_wimey]

[Is hovering and leaning heavily on the doorframe of Haruhi's room.]

"Haruhi? Can I come in?"

If you want.

[timey_wimey]

[Stands there for a little longer anyway before finally stepping over the threshold. And then stands there some more.]

[is curled up on her bed, clutching a ratty stuffed cat]

[timey_wimey]

[Just. Walks over and sits down on the corner of her bed heavily, trying to find the words.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[is quiet, she half knows what he's going to say]

[timey_wimey]

[Takes a breath]

"Haruhi.... we couldn't find him."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[flinches as though she was struck]

I know.

[timey_wimey]

[This is not making this any easier for him]

"I tried, Haruhi. I promise you, I did. I thought for a second that I had him, but --" [Breaks off abruptly]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[her voice goes quiet and she curls up even tighter, shaking slightly]

I know.

[timey_wimey]

[Moves closer to her, trying to keep his voice steady]

"I'm sorry. Haruhi, I am so sorry."

It doesn't matter, Roxas is gone. My brother is dead.

[timey_wimey]

[Reaches across to squeeze her shoulder.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[lol her shoulder is really thin, doesn't seem to register his hand though]

[timey_wimey]

[Uncertainly] "Haruhi...?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[dully] Yeah?

[timey_wimey]

[Just. Gently pulls her up and into a hug and sits there holding her.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[...sits there in his arms for a few moments before wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his neck]

[timey_wimey]

[Blinking a little more than usual.]

[Softly] "You don't have to pretend it's alright, you know. It's just me."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[muffled against his shoulder]

I know, I just...I don't know what to do.

[timey_wimey]

[Carries on holding on]

"You don't have to do anything."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

How dare he leave me like that?! I thought he was my brother! I thought he cared!

[pounds a fist on his shoulder]

[timey_wimey]

[Winces a little, but otherwise gives no indication he felt it]

"Of course he didn't want to leave you, but..." [Trails off]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[sniffles and rests her forehead on his shoulder]

He didn't even say goodbye.

[timey_wimey]

". . ."

[He has no answer for that.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[starts to cry softly, her shoulders shaking]
