[ ... is ignoring you. ]
Who: Belthazar and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Marsiva only.
When: Friday morning
[video;]
[Once again, Belthazar wakes up dazed and shivering. He quickly inspects himself to make sure there are no weird marks he doesn't remember. He still has his robes, thank goodness, but he is beginning to panic about everything else.]
No! No, damn it!
[How much time has passed? The fact that Atroma could send him home and then bring him back without any memory of it terrifies him. His father, his crew, his best friend-- all of them are gone. In this room, right now, he is alone. This probably isn't even the same cycle. He's trapped in this hell, over and over again, never to settle, always to mourn--
He screams in frustration and whirls on the closest piece of furniture. Purple lightning darts from his fingertips, scorching and then exploding his bed. The effort leaves him panting in the silence.
Then he notices his communicator and remembers that there are cameras everywhere. He does the sensible thing and freezes like a deer in headlights.]
... I-is someone there?

action
Belthazar!
[he's down the hall when he yells it at least, bless those sensitive ears of belth's, but moments later, he's catching himself on the door frame and curving his trajectory into the room, which he nearly trips doing.]
Crap--whoa.
[but he manages to keep upright, and belthazar only has the time it takes hiro to right himself before he's being subjected to a very tight hug, all full of worry and relief.]
action
Hiro is okay.
The realization grips him hard. His fingers find their way into Hiro's sweatshirt so he can cling as hard as he did the first time they hugged. He tries to say something but all that happens is an awful squeak into Hiro's shoulder. He swallows hard.]
I-I thought you were gone. I woke up, and I was alone, and--
action
[hiro is rubbing his back, gently rocking.]
I'm sorry. I didn't think you were coming back... I'm so glad you got here while I was still on the Marsiva.
action
But he was scared for that fifteen minutes, so whatever.]
I wish I could say it was because of the promise. Maybe Atroma gives small mercies. I don't know.
[He's never going to let go at this rate.]
I don't remember anything...
action
[he tightens his hold on him for a moment. it feels so much better to know belthazar is here with him; spending this time alone has been hard, and thinking he might never see belthazar again was harder.]
I don't either. I went to bed, and suddenly I was here. It's been two months since we left...
action
Two whole months.
[Either one of them could have left permanently, or returned without memories. The very thought makes his blood run cold.]
I-- I suppose that isn't very long, but... it could have been so much worse.
[He pulls back to look into Hiro's eyes, but something in him gives out and he ends up resting his forehead against the other boy's instead. Please ignore the tears, they've already stopped.]
action
[hiro welcomes the affection, smiling gently.]
But it wasn't. We're here, we remember, and most people haven't left. You were only late a couple days, and I'm pretty sure that's a miracle, because we're both still on the Marsiva. They're not gonna separate us.
action
They still could... they still could, and I--
[His knuckles turn white against the fabric of Hiro's sleeves. He's always clinging like a little bat that doesn't want to let go. He squeezes his eyes shut and tries to ground himself here, in this moment.]
Hiro, I-I need you to know something. Before I forget. Before I don't get a chance.
action
[is he really..?]
... Yeah?
action
I don't-- I don't ever want to leave you. [His grip is earnest, his face, the very picture of desperation.] Kene'thil surfas. It means-- [It's obvious before he says it.] I love you.
action
[and hiro smiles, when it settles in with him.]
... I-I... I love you, too. [he can't really believe this just happened.]
I thought I'd be the one to get tired of waiting first. [hiro leans in and kisses his cheek, still nervous and awkward about any kind of physical affection. but then he's pulling him into another, incredibly tight hug.]
action
He blinks once, then twice, and then a blush lights up his ears. Slowly and awkwardly, but gaining courage, he returns the hug.
He's smiling like an idiot now.]
You've always had more patience than I did. I can't believe you really...
[He lets out a sigh of relief and buries his face in Hiro's shoulder again.]
