Nana: I don't know why, but I just loved this image. I wish I had more space to describe it. Maybe I'll expand this one, who knows? Anyway, hope you enjoyed this, and I hope you'll leave a review!

Aki In The Bath

Title: Nightsong

Prompt: 074. Dark

Rating: PG-13

Clawing his ears in the dark of the night is something horrible, loud. Hatori rolls over and blinks, wonders if this is worth getting up for. The noise quits its invasion; Hari drifts back into sleep. And there it is again, a high-pitched moan that breaks off into coughs every minute or so. There's a tune to it, a melody, and that…that's Akito. And he's trying to sing.

He's terrible. He's had no training, and his lungs can't catch the air to hold a note. But he's staggering around Sohma House, singing. Like he's alive, and glad to be so.
