Nana: This one is another 'Akito's got some toy I find amusing' drabble. I personally just acquired a Tamagotchi, so I can't really help it, especially since my brain is pretty well dead at the moment. Akito's maybe ten years old here. Please enjoy/review/roll around on the floor for a while.
Aki In The Bath
Title: Tamagotchi
Prompt: 034. Not Enough
Rating: PG-13
It spreads its digital wings on the screen and Akito starts screaming, pleading no no no please don't be dead. It's gone though, no amount of button-mashing's going to bring it back. He keeps telling himself that it isn't real, it's just a toy and it hasn't died, not really. This is not the death that will one day come for him. "You didn't feed it enough," Hatori tells him, "if you'd cared for it properly it wouldn't have died."
Akito shakes his head, sniffling. "That makes no difference," he says, "everything dies, and this was mine. It had to."
