A/N: So hey guys! I just rewatched the whole No.6 anime series in one day, and I am completely re-obsessed. So this will be a collection of my little drabbles or whatnot when I get struck by the random ray of inspiration. Some of them will contain hints at BL... maybe BIG hints of BL... but I'm getting a little ahead of myself, aren't I? (; Might change the rating to T later... Anyways, this one is completely innocent, so please enjoy! :3

Disclaimer: I do not own No.6 the anime, the manga, nor the light novels. Kinda wish I was that talented...


I. To Listen


When Sion was three, he listened to his mother.

"Sion! Don't suck on your thumb, your hands aren't clean, remember?"

"Okay, Mama."

The fingers he had stuck in his mouth promptly fell to their place by his side.


When Sion was five, he listened to his teacher.

"Sion! Stop looking out the window, and answer the question. What does two plus four equal?"

"Yes, ma'am. Two plus four equals six."

"Very good. Now class, what does ten minus three equal?"

Sion's gaze never wandered back to the window for the rest of that day.


When Sion was eight, he started listening to his city.

"Good morning. Pledge unflagging loyalty to the city."

The ID bracelet he had on his wrist was automatically scanned by the pre-programmed ID scanner.

"I pledge unflagging loyalty to the city."

Beep. Beep.

"The city is grateful for your loyalty. As you learn today, take pride in your city."


When Sion was ten, he listened to the Moondrop.

It was not the rain, but rather the distant wailing of the manmade structure that kept him up all night.

The next day, however, Sion was there at school right on time to pledge his loyalty to the city.


When Sion was twelve, he listened to the wind.

How beautiful the sound was to his ears, a sound that could drown out his own untamed cries.

And on that day, with the wind rushing around his room,

When the soaking wet and bleeding boy named Nezumi appeared inside his open windows,

Sion listened to his own heart.


A/N: yeaaah.. not quite sure if I'm pleased with how that turned out. might fix it later...

Anyways, please review (even if this isn't much to base a review off of), because really, I'm a huge fan of reviews xD
