Mori's heart

[idolpro]

All at once a rainbow of bright lights feels as if it is bursting through you. It is an intense experience, but not an unpleasant one. As the colours burn through your skin, and lighting begins to spark through your veins, you feel stronger, you could take on the world right now.

Faintly in the distance, beyond the iridescent light show that overwhelms your vision, you can just about make out some silhouettes, but they’re too blurred, too indistinct and too far to tell anything about them. You can’t see them, but you know they’re welcoming you. You’re wanted here, you’re needed here, and the light is guiding you where you’re meant to go.

Why so worried?

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"...You think 'Mori' would be better off without these feelings?"

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

Not necessarily? Like I said, we all have bad times. It makes the good times better and if you hadn’t gone through that you might not be the same. And I like the Mori we have.

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

He clutches his shoes close to his chest, but after a moment the tension eases out of his shoulders.

"...Okay. Okay."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

I get down on myself. And back home not everyone is my biggest fan. I get over it eventually though and work harder. Mori is the same, right?

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"...For the most part he is, yeah.

If people back home don't like you they're stupid."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

[Okay, that gets a laugh]

I don’t think I’ve heard you call someone stupid before.

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"Hey, I can call someone stupid if they're being stupid! I'm not the polite Mori, remember?"

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

It’s fine, I like it.

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"...Oh.

Well.

Good."

He is so flustered to have his behaviour liked, averting his eyes bashfully.

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

I have an idea.

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"What idea?"

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

Come downstairs with me?

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"I..."

He hesitates, looking away.

"I can't."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

Why not?

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"I can't leave this room."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

Not even for a little bit?

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

He shakes his head. "I literally cannot get through the door."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

[Huffs, reaching out to ruffle Mori’s hair]

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"Ah..."

He looks down, feeling guilty.

"Sorry. Guess I ruined your plan."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

It’s okay, I just wanted to hang out a little longer. We can do that the next time Mori is feeling low though.

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

"Nn... 'Mori' doesn't feel like me very often."

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

Mm, Mori is very strong like that. Even strong people have their low moments. I’m glad it’s not often, but I don’t think less of him for feeling defeated before. After all, he bounced back. Still, if you come around again, call me, okay?

Re: Rooftop

[idolpro]

He doesn't respond right away, still feeling overwhelmed by this kind of acceptance and support, he can't meet Silver's eye. But he nods.

Re: Rooftop

[shutthefoxup]

[Pushing Mori’s bangs out of his face, ducking to get eye contact]

Nothing to be ashamed of, okay? Even heroes have hard days.
