CHAPTER SEVEN ; TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 711 Narrators Remain ; Wakey wakey, naughty murder children. It's a lovely Saturday, after all. Breakfast is served piping hot at its usual time and all of the evidence has been removed from the scenes of yesterday. No matter how you choose to spent your morning though, the clock will begin to chime the moment both hands reach the large, ornate twelve. Before your eyes materializes a door...but not just any door. Unlike the door leading to the festival, this door sits primly and properly right in front of the foyer. Whether you exit the castle on your own or you feel a friendly, invisible push, you begin to walk under an arc of wisterias. Behind you, the clock continues to chime with every step you take. By the time the time the clock strikes twelve, you've entered a beautiful garden. In front of you is a long table, 19 seats on each side. Around the garden are several glass cases containing evidence collected yesterday. As noon intensifies on the sun-shaped clock, you'll find Dragon at the head of the table, a glass-covered rose near her right hand. Tick tock, Narrators. You have nine hours to deliberate. The garden is strangely silent and there are no snacks today...it seems as though you'll be left to your own devices. Welcome to your trial post!

[ah. . . well. when Eichi's teasing mood fades, so does Akechi's. and he lies there as well, head tilted back so Eichi can press his face more comfortably against his neck. there's really only one thing that's important for him to respond to, here. and that is. . .]

I will not.

[the request that he never leave]

So long as you'll have. . . me, I won't.

[he isn't. . . outright asking, but the implication is there]

[finethanks]

[They're both losers who don't know how to love and Eichi doesn't know if this is a real request or it just sounds like one and he's panicking, but he's clinging to it just as much.]

That's... all I wanted to hear.

[STAY WITH HIM...]

Thank you, Goro. For staying by my side.

[he could probably say something else. he's very chatty, after all. he has a tendency to monologue, as villains do. but instead he just pushes Eichi up a bit, presses both hands against the sides of Eichi's face. . .]

[and tilts his head up to kiss him. 'cause he can!1]

[finethanks]

[A public kiss...! Another public kiss, but this time Akechi initiated it!! Eichi is so happy...

He kisses back with everything he's got, not caring that it'll make him too breathless. Excited by it, even. Just a happy, relieved kiss of love and adoration and Akechi is back and he'll never leave again.]
