[The message is simple enough, scrawled out in big letters for easy reading. Not that it'd be hard to read anyway, it's only two words.]

I'M SORRY

[It's not addressed to anyone, however, and it looks like someone doesn't know how to private anything.

So everyone can get it instead.

Because bears are generous creatures.]

[He'll want it, hell yeah he'll want it, but unlike the last few times she's comforted him with food, he doesn't take it. He doesn't deserve it.

But the least he can do is explain himself right away this time, as he leans close against her.]

Sensei ran away last night.

[ A little disappointed, Kyouko puts the food down in between them, not even taking some herself, and cuddles him close. ]

I'm sorry. [ She says in a whisper. ] I'm sorry.

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

It's not your fault. [He pushes into her, nuzzling in hopes to comfort her herself. The last thing he needs is to upset another person he cares about deeply, especially Kyouko.] I didn't try to stop him hard enough. I just let him go, I mean, I HAD him!

[action]

[kuukai]

[ She strokes his back, her voice still quiet. ] Don't say stuff like that. You fought for him. Tha's what matters, isn' it?

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

I didn't fight hard enough.

[Just thinking about it causes him to wince. He had Yu's leg right in his grasp and he just...let it go. Thinking back on it, he really should've held on. Or followed him. Or did something.]

[action]

[kuukai]

No.

[ She looks him right in the eyes. ] Teds, if anyone but you said tha' kinda stuff to ya, I'd beat 'em up. Ya want me ta beat you up?

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Hang on, because he actually has to think that one over.]

...Yes.

[action]

[kuukai]

[ ... oh, that backfired. ]

Well... I won't! So there. [ She grabs her Pocky and munches on a stick annoyedly. Geez, bear. ]

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie's into some weird shit.]

Ngh, well, I wouldn't blame you if you did.

[action]

[kuukai]

[ She continues munching. ] Yer th'best thing tha's happened ta me, why the heck would I do somethin' like that?

... an' don' say windigoes!! [ Stupid windigoes. ]

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

Maybe 'cause I'm

unbearable.

[He is completely shameless.]

[action]

[kuukai]

[ She punches him lightly on the shoulder. ]

Nah. Not gonna do it.

[ She nuzzles his shoulder. ] 'm stayin' here, okay?

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Look, see?! She got him to beat him up...on the shoulder!]

I'd like that... But I don't think I gotta tell you that.

[A brief pause.]

...Aaaaaand I'm pretty sure you'd stay even if I was a furry ball of crazy and didn't want you to stay.

[action]

[kuukai]

Prob'ly would. Yer stuck with me. [ Aaaand it's bearhug time. ]

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

[He'll take all the hugs he can get, it's good to know he'll be stuck with someone for the long run. ...Then again, he thought Yu would stick by him no matter what, too. Hrm...]

Thanks, Kyo-chan.

B-But, uh...you'd tell me if I was ever buggin' you, right?

[action]

[kuukai]

Yeah but ya gotta promise ya'd do th'same fer me. Feel like I've kinda latched onta ya, an' I guess I could see tha' gettin' old. S'just I wanna spend all my time with my best bear, s'all.

[ She butts his head, in partial apology for the windigoes. ]

[action]

[kingofthetvworld]

Kyo-chan, I can't stand it when I'm left alone for more than two seconds, I'd never want you to leave.

[He did the lonely thing for a good chunk of his life, he's more than done with it.]

[action]

[kuukai]

Then I won't. Promise.
