Tsurugi Yuuichi was bored.

Sometimes, he would lie in bed, stare at the ceiling, envisioning a better future with his legs intact and his brother the happiest child in the world.

Sometimes, he would walk down memory lane, thinking about what have been or what might have been. Confusingly enough, memory lane was forked, although one direction was a dead end. Tenma had tried to explain, talking about time travel.

And sometimes, he was plainly bored, with thinking and re-thinking being a far cry from what you might call "satisfying".

The door creaked and a pink-haired girl entered. Yuuichi smiled.


Yeah, I did a Korra-marathon Book Balance and the saying "walk down memory lane" kinda impressed me. (Yup, I watched it in English. German dub sucks.)

Did I mention I ship YuuichixYuuka and have some serious trouble imagining why? They just sneaked up my OTP list, without even interacting! But well, I guess it's still pretty sane, compared to other pairings you can find. I won't name them though, else I might rant about why they are SO NOT HAPPENING, BASING on their interactions. And we don't want to go around torpedoing ships, right?

Btw, this is the first drabble OpenOffice and this-site-which-can't-be-named agree upon having 100 words. Yay!
