"That's all for practice today! You can all go home to your mommies now!" announced Ikki. "Kazu, over here! I've got some stuff to ask you!"

The blond skated over to find Ikki rummaging through his bag, muttering "Didn't I put them in here? They should be here- damn!"

A minute or so later, he emerged triumphant from his search, holding several slightly bent pages in his hand.

"Okay, sit down and try to answer these questions as honestly as you can- got it?"

"Yeah, but why? You're not signing me up for some illicit website are you!?"

"Please, I could do better if I wanted that! This stuff's supposed to diagnose- wait... 'post-traumatic stress disorder' and depression. Well not technically but I might have to bring you to a doctor, depending on your answers." replied Ikki in a surprisingly calm tone, shuffling through the printed questions in his hands.

"W-what? Why- no wait- you did research?" responded Kazu with a little laugh.

Not convincing enough, apparently, because the crow simply looked at him with a worried look.

The jet sighed. Forcing a smile onto his face, he spoke, "Dude I'm fine, really. You don't have to bother worrying about me... Though I guess I should be worrying about you if you're doing research of your own will!"

Laughter, then another sigh, though this time is was the elder boy.

"Stop forcing yourself, Kazu- at least in front of me. We're best friends, you don't have to smile for me or hide your feelings, I know what you're thinking anyways. I'm not fucking blind Kazu." He bowed his head lightly, taking a seat beside his friend, then continued. "You know I'm not one for shit like emotion. I seriously just can't wrap my head around it- but I'll tell you this: I know what it's like to feel lonely. Sure, I have the Noyamanos, but they're not my real family. Nobody is. And I'm never gonna' meet someone I can call 'mom' or 'dad'. I know that pain, so I can understand you at least a bit.

"I don't know what it's like to lose someone, but I guess I'm losing you. You never stop working or training, you never take a break. Your body won't be able to take it for much longer... You'd better not fucking tell anyone what I said or that I'm this worried about you it's the most embarrassing thing I've ever told anyone and actually- you'd better consider yourself grateful to have heard the Storm King's inner-most thoughts!"

After a stretch of silence, the jet laughed. Not his previous forced chuckle - which barely qualified as a laugh - but something real, heartfelt, beautiful.

"A-are you laughing at me? Kazu you little fuck!" A slight blush covered Ikki's face.

"N-no! You're just-! You're really the best!"

"Damn straight I'm the best!"

They laughed on the way home, finally going back to who they were before the accident.

If only for a single night...
