Misanthropy
Chpt.5 : Making Progress
Roppi
The silence, at first, was uncomfortable. Unnerving. Roppi didn't like it at all. When he was scheduled with Shinra, the chirpy therapist would at least fill the silence with questions, even though they went unanswered. But as the minutes ticked by, the tension in the room seemed to die down and the raven-haired man let himself slightly relax into the chair he was seated in. The silence made him feel somewhat at ease, allowing him to think. He still didn't trust the human in front of him. Nor did he feel the need to. Just another person who thinks he needs help. He shifted his gaze towards the clock, realizing he just has a mere seven minutes until the appointment ended. Having gone the past 23 minutes in silence, Roppi figured the next seven minuets would be easy. Staring at the window again, it began to rain.
…
Two minuetes have gone by, and the light drizzle seemed to turn into a full downpour. Grimacing slightly, Roppi thought about the walk back to the apartment. Luckily his red fur trimmed black jacket had a hood, so he would at least be somewhat shielded from the rain. As much as he hated walking in the rain, he enjoyed listening to it and watching it hit the ground from the inside. Suddenly, the blond in front of him faced Roppi and asked him a simple question.
"Roppi-san, do you like the rain?" The therapist looked at him, hoping for an answer. Roppi contemplated on answering.
"…"
"…"
And for just this one time, just this once, Roppi thought that it wouldn't hurt to respond.
"…Yea."
Tsuki
"…Yea."
That simple response made Tsuki feel ecstatic. He really didn't care that it was one word, nor that it was kind of mumbled. Roppi decided to respond to him, and that's all that counts. In a way, Tsuki felt special. He was able to receive an answer from the misanthrope who was unresponsive with all his other therapists. He smiled widely, even though Roppi wasn't looking at him.
"So do I," the therapist stated. This caused Roppi to stare at Tsuki. Two pairs of crimson eyes once again locked onto each other. Tsuki continued smiling at the raven, who still had a face void of emotions. But that's okay. Tsuki thought that this was a great start.
AHH I'm so sorry ;_; I was sick last week. And I had to go to the hospital. And then they made me drink 64 ounces of Gatorade. And now I hate it. I never even liked it in the first place… but during the time I was sick I was able to think more about this story so I have the next few chapters planned out :D OH and thank you of those who reviewed! It makes me happy : ) and I cant believe I was spelling Shinra wrong… but I don't know how to fix it in the past chapters :S ANYWAYS haha thank you for reading! Constructive criticism is appreciated!
