[ ... 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?

... I-is someone there?

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.]
