    Summary

    Jon got Martin away from the Lonely, but that didn't entirely "save" him. While hiding at the cabin, Jon does whatever he can to help Martin and take care of him... but it's hard to know what to do, or avoid doing too much. Martin isn't sure if he'll be alright, he just knows he needs to be here. In little ways, they help each other, and help themselves. (mentions the other characters, but only Basira is really featured)

    Once again inspired by art and ideas from lonelyslutavatar on tumblr~

    (the boys have been through some TRAUMA, and it takes a while to recover. This gives them some breathing-room between getting out of the Lonely, and before the Eye Apocalypse happens. It is also me doing a bit of a character study, working out how they have changed, what stays the same, and why some stuff goes unsaid. Although it is difficult, Jon is trying to be the one who is the care-giver for once, but he still needs help himself)

    All Touya's careful plans go awry because Hawks isn't so sensible.

    Summary

    And yet, when this new tutor asked Shouto to write his name on the top of the paper when he turned it into her, since she tutored more than only him, he stared at her like she was crazy.

    She urged him to write his name again, quickly becoming worried when he still didn’t move a muscle. He was typically so obedient in class, and even Shouto could tell that she was beginning to freak out a little, but he didn’t know what to do. What if he did the wrong thing again and she went crazy, poured boiling water on his face, and was sent away to the mental hospital for the rest of her life?

    “Hiragana is okay,” she assured, not getting what he was struggling with. He had no way of protesting, though. Father always said that if he didn’t listen to something the tutors said, he would feel it the next day in training.

    Shouto threw up that day and most certainly did not want to throw up again the day after—he was already plenty exhausted and ready to drop.

    So, Shouto listened to her, writing out in his perfectly neat hiragana characters, perfected by hours of practice and the occasional harsh scolding from his father.

    Ke-ssa-ku. Masterpiece.
