when they know they're your heart; (CLOSED)

[gandere]

WHO: Rin Tohsaka (gandere) & Kariya Matou (waiting_for_the_worms)
WHAT: A certain droning cuts deeper than anything Mayfield's ever done
WHERE: Mayfield neighborhood
WHEN: Sometime last week
WARNINGS: N/A

[ For Rin Tohsaka, there was no other man greater in her eyes than her father. This was a truth that could never be warped no matter what atrocities he may have committed as a magus. In her mind it was necessary and he would never engage in an act without meaning. While most of the others in her life may argue that, Rin held him dearly above the rest.

His time here in Mayfield was a blessing. It left her elevated and on a high unlike anything before. There had been times she could be described as content in Mayfield (with Sakura, with Archer, with Shirou - all of these people could cause her to bring out a relaxed smile), but with her father here? She was happy. Already she was willing to do anything he asks of her, losing memories and her abilities briefly just to make him stand on equal footing with her.

So when she discovers that Tokiomi has been droned, she spends a lot more time around his house as though she's waiting. It's only a matter of time before he comes back to normal, right? Today though, she will be stuck outside his house, having been asked to leave. And yes, she's stubborn enough to sit out there for hours on end. Late at night, she's still out there, waiting for her beloved father to be fixed. ]

[gandere]

Yeah, well, I can see right through you too!

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Of course. We're family, after all. That kind of thing is normal.

[gandere]

... Wait, is it really?

[ Peering. ] What else do you see?! Tell me, Uncle Kariya!

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Looks like I know a few secrets you don't after all. See, there's plenty of things even magecraft can't teach you.

[gandere]

Uncle Kariya you better tell me or else...

[ Huff. ] I'll kill you.

[ It's clear she doesn't really mean it, but she's so embarrassed now! ]

[waiting_for_the_worms]

It's all right, don't worry. I'm already planning your first lesson. I'll teach you how to do it, too.

[gandere]

You will?

[ With a minimal amount of bullying? ]

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Of course.

[That depends on how you define 'minimal' and 'bullying.' Does a giant surprise party with everyone she knows count?]

[gandere]

[ That is the cruelest thing a bully can do to her! ]

You better not back down from this.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Then Kariya is about to become the worst monster imaginable.]

I intend to see it through to the end.

[gandere]

[ She will lock herself up in her room and never come out. ]

Alright, then I'm holding you to it. [ With that, she holds up her hand with her pinky extended. ] Come on.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Kariya smiles, gladly taking Rin gently by the finger.]

All right. Let's head home.
