Alright guys I'm typing this last chapter with Toki attacking me. He just bit my hand for no reason and made me have to re-type this sentence! He gets so mad at me when I type. Poor kitty. Anywho, time to begin the final chapter of 'Fix You'! erihan, yes, Roppi was nice in saving Seiji. aurorage, you're so sweet! Haha, I'm proud of Shizu-chan too. Quiet Crash, it'll be alright! Move on with me to future stories! Logic Dive, I accept your cookies! Also, Tsuki's release will be answered in this chapter. FallingforWerewolves, I know! It saddens me. Paranormal Alchemist, I love them too! What Izaya said was indeed scary. But we must remember that Izaya is an unstable sociopath, and therefore capable of anything. TinkanaiT32, I'll take you up on that back massage! Also, I love how informative your reviews are. I hope you'll follow me on to more stories! After you finish 'Psychosomatic Monsters' first~! BlueRoseDream, don't steal them! I need them for this chapter! Then you can steal them. AllTheLovelyBrains, your review made me tear up a little. I LOVE YOU! Burning-Petals, hehe, so you saw the beauty that is Andrew? Also, many people have asked me if I will do a Tsugaru and Psyche story after this... The answer is a big, fat, MAYBE. Lol, I'm not really good at writing them I feel. That's why their chapters were always so short in 'Psychosomatic Monsters'. If I get an idea, I'll write one. Until then, I hope you'll all follow me to my DelHibi story. Time for the final chapter of 'Fix You'. I love you all. On with the STORYYYYYYY!
Everlong
(Foo Fighters)
[Hello. I've waited here for you, everlong. Tonight, I throw myself into, and out of the red, out of her head she sang...]
The final morning of their final day was cloudy. It was hard to see the sun. It was hard to see anything in the sky. Tsuki had said it was bleak, but Roppi had said it was promising.
"It's like our future. It's hard to see, but I know it's there." he had said.
They walked outside into the main room one last time. Their bags were packed, and already being loaded into the taxi Izaya had called. Said raven was leaning against the wall in front of the nurse's station, Shizuo beside him.
"Roppi-chan~! Time to go see your new apartment! I've taken the leisure of decorating it for you."
"...I hope you didn't order tons of extremely expensive stuff." Roppi muttered.
There was a small gathering to see them off. Everyone from their group was there, aside from Seiji. Masaomi strode forward.
"Well, Tsukilicious, Roppi-Bottomy. It's been a hell of a good time here with you. Guess this is goodbye." he said as he pulled them both in for a loose hug.
"Don't say that. You're getting out, and you're coming to see us." Roppi said.
"Y-Yeah! You and Mikado can crash on the couch anytime!" Tsuki added.
"...It'll have to be one fucking clean couch," Mikado murmured from behind Masaomi. They laughed. The blue eyed raven walked toward them and gave them his own hug.
"Do you...really think we can ever get out of here?" he asked Roppi lowly.
"If Izaya can be free to roam the streets, I believe anything."
"Roppi-chan is so mean!" Izaya pouted, leaning against Shizuo. "Ne, Shizu-chan, tell him he's mean."
"No way, louse. You're a fucking lunatic." the blonde huffed.
"You like fucking this lunatic~."
"Heh. Damn straight."
Tsuki was trying to block out the conversation by absorbing himself in a conversation with Erika and Walker.
"When you get out, you have to come back and see us and tell us whether or not it's true that the air outside is heavier!" Erika smiled.
"Eh...What?" Tsuki asked.
"Inside the institution, the air is lighter. It's to make the pressure on our brains lighter and force us to be sane. What they don't know is that once you leave the air in here, you lose your mind again." Walker said seriously.
"Um...R-Roppi?" the blonde called to his lover. He knew Erika and Walker were a little off, but they were scaring him.
"Yes, love?"
"Help me." Tsuki mouthed.
"So, Erika, are you going to return to just stalking Masaomi and Mikado since we're leaving?" Roppi asked her.
"Eh, I guess. Those two are so boring though. You guys had crazy sex in the art room, so that's hard to top." she sighed.
"Y-You saw t-that?" Tsuki stammered.
"Oh my God, it's true? I was just guessing because you guys spent so much time in there, but OH MY GOD! I have to go rub myself against all the tables!" she squealed, running toward the room with Walker behind her.
"But Erika, that's so unsanitary!" he was saying as he was dragged.
Celty walked toward them from the back of the group. She held up her PDA, but then paused. They stared at her as she placed it in her pocket, and opened her mouth for the first time in years.
"I...I'll miss you two..." she whispered.
"Celty! Your voice is so pretty!" Tsuki yelped happily, hugging her tightly.
"So, finally figured out you have a head?" Roppi asked her as he watched his lover squeeze her to death.
"Um... Well, Shinra told me so many times, that finally I told him to shut up without my PDA and... I guess that means I have a head. Or maybe the aliens placed a talking device in my neck?" she said seriously.
"No. Your face is very pretty, as is your voice. I assure you, it's there."
She stared at him for a few seconds, before she pulled him into her ever loving arms.
"It seems I'm not the only one who has a reason to live now." she whispered in his ear.
"...It seems that way." Roppi relented, glancing over to his lover, who was now talking to Izaya and Shizuo with a very red face. Kadota and Saburo were there too.
"Um...R-Roppi-san?" a quiet voice asked.
"Yes, Mika?"
"I... I'm sorry for everything... I wish you luck." she said.
He observed her without saying a word.
"I know, I know. It doesn't change anything just because I said sorry. I just hope you can forgive me one day..." Mika whimpered, turning around.
Roppi walked forward and grabbed her hand, making her turn around to pull her in for a very, very, loose hug.
"I realize you think you love Seiji Yagiri. You don't. In time, you'll grow to hate him. When that day comes, I'll forgive you." he told her. She looked at him with wide eyes.
"See ya." he said emotionlessly as he released her.
"T-That's not true!" Tsuki's shrill voice yelped. Roppi turned to him in surprise.
"Relax, Tsuki-chan. All is well." Izaya smirked.
"No! Please tell me you really didn't do that!"
"Do what?" Roppi asked as he walked over to them.
"I painted your kitchen pink."
"..."
"I told him not to." Shizuo said.
"Izaya, you hate that color." Roppi sighed.
"So do you. I thought it would be a good prank~."
"If you painted my kitchen pink, I'm shaving your head."
"Which one?" Izaya grinned.
Shizuo slapped the back of his head, causing him to laugh harder.
Roppi rolled his eyes and walked over to Celty again.
"I need you to take me to see Shinra." he told her.
"Roppi?" Tsuki called.
"I'll be right back."
He followed Celty up the stairs.
"What's that way?" he asked her, pointing to a darker section of the hallway.
"That's solitary." she said.
"Oh, alright." he said, making a mental note.
They walked into Shinra's office. Said doctor was behind mountains of paperwork again.
"Ah, Celty~! Orihara-san! I'd love to talk, but I have to find someone new to replace Izaya and do the paperwork to have Seiji Yagiri moved to a different facility." he said frantically.
"You're moving him?" Roppi asked.
"Yes. He's had too many strikes. I'm making him someone else's problem."
"Dr. Kishitani, I'd like to apply for the position of the new therapist." the raven stated.
Both Shinra and Celty looked at him in total shock.
"Look, I know I look just like Izaya, alright? I realize he's unorthodox, but he's a damn good therapist and you know it. I'm nothing like him, but I've been told I'd be a good therapist too and... I want to try it."
"Orihara-san, you don't have any education on the subject..." Shinra said.
"I know that. But you've already broken quite a few rules. What's a few more?" Roppi shrugged, motioning to Shinra's hand wrapped in Celty's.
"...Why do I feel like you're going to blackmail me if I say 'no'?"
"Because I look like Izaya."
Shinra placed his head in his free hand and sighed.
"Fine, fine. I'll give you a week to see if things work out."
"Thank you. Also, I'd like to request to work in a different group."
"Why? You don't want to stay with the ones you've come to know?"
"No. I'm too attached to them, and my advice would be biased. I want to start fresh." Roppi explained.
"Ah, I see. You don't want to influence them based on your time here." Shinra smiled.
"Exactly."
"Well, I think that can be arranged. Report to me tomorrow morning at 9am."
"See you then." Roppi turned to leave, glancing back in time to see Shinra give Celty a kiss on the lips.
"Ah, so that's how she learned she has a head."
He strode back into the hall, going toward the blackness that was solitary. He glanced in one of the rooms, finding Seiji strapped to a bed with a dead look in his eyes.
"Hey there." he said to the brunette. Seiji scowled at him.
"Why are you here?"
"Well, it's not like anyone else is coming to see you, so deal with it."
"...Thought you'd be gone by now."
"I'm about to leave. I thought I'd come say bye to the person I really hate before I left." the raven explained, edging toward the bed.
They sank into silence.
"You look like you've given up." Roppi said finally.
"Well, after being raped by my mother, then raping two women, and almost raping a man, can you blame me?" Seiji spat. "I don't have a reason to keep going."
"No you don't. Not yet. You'll find it though."
"...Why are you acting like this? You hate me. You just said so."
"I do hate you. At the same time, I want you to know that how you feel right now is how I felt before I came here. I wanted to die, and I almost killed myself on many occasions. Then...I met Tsuki. He gives me all I need." Roppi said.
"What's that little idiot got to do with me?"
"Nothing."
"You're saying I'll find someone that just makes me want to keep going? Do you know how stupid that sounds?" Seiji hissed.
"Your sister really loves you. Shinra said they're transferring you to a different hospital. I'm giving her the address so she can work there."
"...You'd do that for me?"
"It's not fair for me to let you give up on yourself when no one would let me."
"...Thanks I guess." Seiji tried to shrug, but the straps made it impossible.
"Fuck you." Roppi smirked, turning to leave.
"Oh, by the way..." Seiji called to his retreating form, "I hate you too."
Roppi walked back to the main room where his lover was.
"Where are Shizuo and Izaya?" he asked the blonde.
"They took their own cab so we could have some privacy. They're meeting us there." Tsuki replied, fiddling with his scarf.
"You're terrified, aren't you?" Roppi smiled.
"A little. But...you're with me..."
"Always."
They walked hand in hand, out the front doors together. Tsuki turned.
"I never thought...I'd get to leave this place alive... It's weird to be free again..."
"I'm not used to it either. We can do anything we want now, Tsuki."
"…Do you think the air out here is really heavier than it is in there?" the blonde asked in a scared voice. Roppi only laughed.
Rain started to pound into the roof of the cab as they drove away, leaving the institution far behind them. Tsuki observed the scenery out the window, remaking on how much had changed since he had been locked up. Roppi leaned against him, drifting in and out of a light sleep.
Their hands met.
Their future together could truly start now. Tsuki could get used to things outside more every day, and Roppi could be there for him always. They could start fresh, and stay together in their new apartment. (Once they re-painted the kitchen.)
It would be hard for both of them, and they knew that. They were both still far from sane, but sometimes that's okay. They had each other, and that was enough.
Tsuki completed Roppi, and Roppi completed Tsuki. Somehow, amidst the dysfunction of the institution, they had managed to fall in love and give each other a reason to live.
Together, they could figure it out.
Together, they were fixed of their problems.
And that's all they needed.
[And I wonder, when I sing along with you. If everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again. The only thing I'll ever ask of you, you've gotta promise not to stop when I say when. She sang...]
The End~
Sachi: *sobbing hysterically*
Roppi: Um... It's going to be alright?
Tsuki: I don't wanna end the story!
Sachi: I had so much fun writing this! I'm so sad to end it, but it must be done... Now I can move on I guess...
Roppi: Last time you said that you added another chapter to an already completed story.
Tsuki: Maybe you could give us a sequel?
Sachi: DON'T TEMPT ME! *flails* Anyway, all of your reviews helped me through this! I loved reading them and replying to all of them. You guys are truly wonderful, and I'm lucky to have you all! I love you!
Izaya: Now for more Shizaya!
Sachi: *mumbles* Technically, now it's on to more DelHibi... Eh, but we all know I'll get there eventually. Until next time, my dear readers!
