    [i]Prompt: 'Someone should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying.'
    ))



    ‘Someone should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying.’


    That was the sole thing on the onyx-furred Bodyguard’s mind as he stood at the edge of his roof, dark navy-hued gaze scanning the camp below him. He didn’t know what had put him in such a pessimistic mood or why, but he knew he felt terrible. Daichi had basically told him to find someone else to live with for the time being, until his house was rebuilt. He had gotten a warning about his position. He had gotten stuck in a new body (well, that wasn’t all that bad, but he still had absolutely no way to change back). He had caught a terrible cold that, unlike his scars and injuries, had transferred over to his new body and was currently making him feel terrible.


    All these added together was almost too much for him to handle. He’d been practicing a lot more than usual as of late, and he’d been sleeping a lot less. He just wanted to quit everything and stay locked in that gym Flighttaken had fixed up for Shouyou to play in. He wanted to hide. But he knew he couldn’t run away. As much as he wanted to believe the clan needed him as a high position, they didn’t. They had Frightfur, Emptyskies, Flighttaken, and Nighttales. They had Daichi, Gideon, Shouyou, and Chess. But Tobio couldn’t just abandon his duties, could he? He was far too loyal (and totally obstinate) to up and leave without warning. Doing so would be cowardly, and the melanistic cougar was most definitely not the type to run away from his problems.


    Huffing out a sigh, he turned around and made his way down from the roof. He was just so done. Grabbing a volleyball on his way out the door, he made his way out into the night. He was ready to practice his tosses, serves, and receives until he was exhausted--just as his former senpai was known to do. He planned on giving everyone small gifts every so often. He was going to become the best he could become not only at the sport he loved, but also the best person he could be. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to be the biggest tsundere ever about it.

    Powerful beats thundered through the air, and Mids stiffened in worry of what it could be. This had been her first night walk, ever, since that particular night she couldn't sleep, no matter how many times she flipped the pillow, straightened out her sheets, and played dead. It was just one of those nights.
    There were often nights, however, where she lulled herself to sleep with dreams she had created in her mind. Worlds opened before her in the shapes of storybooks, where she kept track of every single character she had created, including a stuffed kitten who she named 'Leanna' in her mental universe. But those were on good nights.
    More often than that, or at least as of late, her mind was plagued by the insults, the wrath, the unforgiving reality of the world. She was hurt, but there were others hurt worse than she was. It was a concept she reminded herself of often.




    That night, she had grown weary of dreams and regrets, and was out and about for once. Her mind wouldn't focus, no matter how hard she tried to concentrate, and she simply didn't have the energy or motivation to cry over issues that didn't matter to anyone else, so there she stood, standing in the empty town streets as she tried to figure out where this faint noise was coming from. She was at the town's edge, after all, so on quiet pawsteps, she decided to locate the source of the sound in case it was something that the clan should be worried about.
    Fortunately, there was no monster, but she did recognize the slick, black figure of Tobio. His form was... precise, something she would never be able to achieve with a ball, which made his efforts all the more valiant to her navy eyes. Not wanting to disturb him, she turned to leave, but she had accidentally stepped on a twig, or more specifically, a lump on the twig. "Ouch," she yipped quietly, though since the night was dead silent (aside from Tobio's practicing hits), he'd likely be able to hear her.
