[Ichigo almost drops the phone when he gets the text back. And while he's happy to find out rin's alive, he...still is a little angry/guilty about what happened.]

Youre alive?!
Are you at the house?!
You better be at the house you idiot
never do that again!
At least tell someone before you leave and get yourself killed


[But...then he reads the rest of it, and...oh, Rin. You don't know what happened, did you?]

no
I cant go back
I dont deserve to
say sorry to Yukio and Kohaku for me

[keepsthefire]

[Oh, he knows enough, Ichigo.]

i'm at the house calm your tits jesus

i'm sorry it was an honest fucking accident and i'm pissed at myself for letting it happen but it happened and its over with

so next time i plan on kicking the bucket i'll make damn sure to tell you first


now quit with the fucking pity party and get your ass home where you belong

idiot

[bladeisme]

[Now his happiness at seeing Rin's back is gone as he reads that, sadness and anger combing into a potent mix]

I CANT
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
Im not going to fucking force them to look at me!
Do you think Kohaku wants to be fucking reminded of how I hunted her down and ate her?!
Do you think your brother want to remember how he had to shoot me or else I would have eaten him too?!
I CANT GO BACK BECAUSE I DONT DESERVE TO
TODAY JUST FUCKING PROVED IT

[keepsthefire]

[okay that is seriously gross but... god, whatever. In this place, he really can't judge.]

have you ever bothered to ask her about the scars on her arms?

they're burns

i gave them to her

you know what she said when i told her i shouldn't be around her?

"I can't rightfully blame you for something I know you wouldn't have done if you had a choice in the matter"

she's gonna say the same thing to you

[bladeisme]

[He remembers hearing something about that, but he'd forgotten it in his self-blame and loathing.]

I
I just dont


I dont want to hurt anyone anymore
I thought id hurt them

[keepsthefire]

i know

i know ok?

i've been there

that's been my ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE ichigo

but the rules are different here and we're just gonna have to accept that people are gonna get hurt and maybe killed and sometimes we're gonna be fucking responsible for it no matter how much we hate that

what we do is we try our best to not let it happen again

and stick the fuck together so we have people to support us when things do go wrong

because things are gonna fucking go wrong

and i'm not abandoning anyone

not kohaku, not night, not my brother, NOT YOU

NOW GET. YOUR ASS. HOME.

[bladeisme]

Okay

[Rin...really wanted him back. Maybe it wasn't how everyone else felt, but...if he respected Rin, then...

He'd go back. Even if the rest of the house hated him.]

....
thank you

[keepsthefire]

[They're not going to hate you.

Yukio might be awkward though but that's understandable.]

you can thank me when youre home
