RULES

- Example: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - M. Gandhi
- The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.

character death (offscreen, of an unnamed character)

Hopefully this makes up for the Golden Pair deathfic.

"Oh, Oishi-kun, I wasn't expecting to see you," Eiji's mother said when she answered the door.

"Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Kikumaru, but I didn't see Eiji is school today, and I was wondering if he was all right. I brought a copy of the notes for him."

Eiji's mother's face fell. "I'm sorry, Oishi-kun, why don't you come inside for a minute?" she said, letting him in and closing the door.

"It's Eiji's grandmother. She passed away unexpectedly last night, and he's taking it hard. He hasn't come out of his room all day, and he won't really speak to us either."

"I'm sorry for you loss," Oishi said sympathetically. "Can I go see him?"

"Please do. And see if you can get him to eat something too; we're worried about him."

"I'll do my best," Oishi promised.

"Eiji?" he asked as he knocked on the bedroom door. "Eiji," he repeated when there was no answer, "can I come in?" He received no reply, but he opened the door anyway, slipping into the dark room and closing the door again behind him.

"Your mom told me about your grandmother," he said as he picked his way over to where Eiji sat huddled under a blanket on the bed. "I'm sorry. I know how much you loved her."

Eiji burrowed deeper under the blanket, turning away from Oishi. "I just want to be alone right now," he said quietly.

"I understand," Oishi replied, letting his hand rest briefly on the back of the blanket before he left. "I'll be here whenever you're ready," he said softly from the doorway.

No one was really surprised when he sat down outside Eiji's door and started doing his homework. About an hour later, Eiji's mother came by to invite him to join the rest of the family for dinner.

"I'll eat with Eiji later," he said, refusing to leave his place by the door.

"You're such a dear," Eiji's mother said fondly. "I'll leave some out for both of you."

A few hours after that, a quiet "Oishi?" floated out into the hall. Oishi immediately rose and went back into the bedroom.

"Oishi!" Eiji whispered, "you stayed."

"Of course I did."

Eiji didn't pull away when Oishi approached this time, so Oishi sat down next to him on the bed, rubbing gentle circles across the blanket covering his back.

"Do you want to talk?" Oishi asked.

"Could you maybe just sit with me for awhile?"

"Of course. I'll stay for as long as you want."

Soft gentle sighs

I just.

I love this. I love your golden pair. I'm lakjsdhflksjdhf this is so sweet and for Oishi to just sit outside, knowing that Eiji needed time, but wanting to be RIGHT THERE when he was ready....my heart. I want to smush the two of them together forever, they are truly such wonderful compliments to each other.

I'm so happy you like it!

I was a little bit nervous writing these two given that my headcanon for their dynamic comes almost entirely from 1st cast Tenimyu (~~and probably always will, because they are by far my favorite Golden Pair~~), so I'm glad it worked. I really love their dynamic of Eiji being able to go all out, because he knows Oishi will be there when he needs it, and Oishi knowing that Eiji will always come back afterwards to help finish. They make such a great pair.

*wanders off to listen to more Tenimyu again*
