    [ Vergil slides his right hand into Dante's left, twining their fingers together. "Right here, little brother. I won't leave you again." He shifts, pressing their joined hands to his forehead. He squeezes his eyes shut as tears slide down his cheeks. "Forgive me, Dante."

    Almost forty years wandering between hell and earth and he's never felt more like a child. ]

    [ One of the staff comes drifting over, an eyebrow cocked; “Are they really that drunk already?”

    Trish shakes her head; “The kid wanted to have some time in the water before the sun went down. Her dad over there can never say no to her, you know how it is.”

    They smile and point to Lady; “Is that mom?”

    Trish grins; “Nah, we’re her cool gay aunts. Dad’s got her for the weekend, we happened to be in town, she’s gonna be eighteen before you know it– We’re making the most of our time.”

    Trish watches them as the sun sets, and pays with her own credit card instead of Dante’s this time. ]

    Summary

    It’s rather lonely to self-destruct as gloriously as Rin has through all these years.

     

    In which Rin heads to France, sends postcards, learns what friendship is, and moves forward one step at a time - not necessarily in that order.

    [ A postcard from Munich appears in his mailbox a week later. On the back, the sender has scrawled only five words: Damn, sorry your brother sucks!

    Rin 6:37 PM

    Was your postcard really necessary?

    What a waste of a stamp.

    Isagi 6:49 PM

    I THOUGHT YOU AGREED WITH ME??

    ALSO YOU’VE SENT ME WORSE MESSAGES YOU ASSHOLE ]

    Summary

    "N. T. F. B. S., Aventurine," Ryoshu said. Her sword was steady in her hand. "What do you know about Oswaldo Schneider?"

    "Do I look like I would willingly pass on information about a fellow coworker to someone who looks like they want his head chopped off?" Aventurine tilted her head away from the sword, long brown hair falling to the side.

    In this Mirror World, Ryoshu assumes the identity of a Galaxy Ranger. Rodion assumes the identity of a Stoneheart of the IPC.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    [ “If the three of you touch anything while I get ready, I will kill you,” Rin promises.

    Bachira claps his hands. “Could you do the thing where you stick out your tongue and drool while you say those words?”

    Rin doesn’t bother giving him a response. ]

    ---

    [ The last of the sunlight catches on the you lose printed on the end of his popsicle stick. He had always been watching Sae, always tugging on his sleeve, always trying to get his brother to notice his efforts the way that Rin noticed him. But Rin beat his brother in football only a short while ago. There’s an ego thrumming in his veins, a need to stand on the field, the burning desire to do so much more than to play football with someone who doesn’t believe in his abilities. Even if it was only yesterday that he resolved to brush Sae out of his mind so he could pursue his own ego, Rin knows himself well enough to know that he’ll succeed if he pours all of his effort into football.

    “Someone told me once that getting a winning popsicle meant that you couldn’t become number one because you wasted your luck on small things,” Rin says. He isn’t quite sure why he shares this small window into his life, but the words slip out of his mouth before he can capture them under his tongue.

    Aryu, Tokimitsu, and Bachira exchange glances before bursting into laughter.

    “That’s an awful idea,” Bachira cackles, his lips curved in his ever-present grin. “Why does being number one mean that I can’t win a free popsicle?”

    Rin leans back and watches the waves swallow the last sliver of sun. He thinks he’s smiling. “Yeah. You’re right.” ]
