FOURTH WALL MEME!

[darkhourdear]

So, imagine for a moment that a giant snake wrecked your downtown area, and instead of just leaving behind massive amounts of destructive, that it opened something else. A glowing, pink portal appears in the middle of Locke’s business district. And through it come some very... interesting characters.

[No, he is not sure. In fact, he has never been less sure in his whole...well, life would be an exaggeration, but it has been a while. He watches the child's glee with growing wariness, knowing too well the joke is on him.

With a resigned sigh, he pays for the movie with some of the money Akira gave him a few minutes ago. At least the kid is happy, he tells himself. Besides, how bad can it be?]

...It is not too inaccurate, is it?

[foil]

[ Honestly! He's just asking for it now. Akira shakes his head somberly. If he was going to fully take advantage of this situation, he'd really put his guardian down. Two years and he's finally stepping up to choose which movie to watch. He should be pleased that it means Akira won't spend all night painting. He's definitely woken up with smudges of prussian blue on his face. ]

It's about as accurate as most American movies.

[ Akira glances at the clear plastic and the disk inside and discreetly flips it over so only the shiny silver surface can be seen. Best not to destroy his hopes of a historically accurate movie with the red and yellow cover of a giant alien ship blowing up a city. He'll never let him near downtown again. ]

[The whole thing is suspicious. Extremely suspicious. Still, watching a movie together with the boy counts as quality time, doesn't it? He has been going through child psychology books, and even asked for professional advice. It is not that he believes there is something truly wrong with Akira, no matter what the teachers say. His child lost his parents and needs love, like any child. It is just that he believes there is something wrong with him.]

...Well then, but you are getting that haircut today.

[foil]

[ Do all those books help you read this face of concern. Akira reaches up and idly tugs on a piece of his hair, gauging its length. Is it that much longer? When was his last cut? A sense of dread comes over him. Oh yes. He remembers why he's been avoiding it. ]

You cut it crooked last time.

[senseandcecilbility]

[No, they do not. His fellow humans have always been way too puzzling, and he doesn't even know why. However, he has been around Akira long enough to know the meaning of that look. He is always observing. It is what he does best.]

Do not give me that look, young man. I have been practicing!

[Not only hair cutting, but also cooking, cleaning and overall parenting. For two years. It has been an adventure.]

After the movie, though. [He concedes.] ...And lasagna?

[foil]

[ He'll refrain from mentioning that went into the bathroom with a pair of scissors to try and fix it last time. His attention snaps to the concession, though. It's minor, and the decision to cut his hair is already unrelenting, but it's a relief not to face that as soon as he gets home. He'd rather him fuss over the amount of paint everywhere. ]

Oh~ Dinner and a movie then. It's a family date.

[ Akira looks away. There's no telling the thought process going through his head right now. His poker face is equally as good as yours. ]

[senseandcecilbility]

[Family date. The two words are paralyzing. Is that what a real family is like? Cecil wouldn't know. He never...]

Yes. [He replies firmly. They are going to watch the bloody movie, and have dinner and Akira is getting his haircut and it is going to be fun.] It is time to go.

[And maybe Akira will smile just a little more often, and even more sincerely. In the end, that is what really matters.]
