Or if you had known me at all. [He's quiet for a moment, the smile gone, but then shuts his book. He wasn't hurt by it. Honestly he didn't hold it against Sion at all. It had been out of his control.

The only thing that had scared him had been the small fear Sion would stay like that. That he had been nervous about deep down.] At least your hair's back to normal. [He gets up and goes to the kitchen, getting something to drink.]

[And so Sion's smile instantly disappears. Well, the little forced smile that he had going there for a moment.

Everything he had just tried to suppress from the moment he walked through the door until now just comes back all at once. Like some giant tidal wave. It feels as if the guilt is practically eating him alive, like when the wasp tried to chew it's way out of his skin. Except worse, because now everything hurts, even his heart is aching with guilt.

How could he let them do that to him... make him forget everything. Nezumi was right, Sion's weak. He's so weak that he'd allow the Malnosso to toy with him like a lab rat.

The moment Nezumi gets up, Sion jumps to his feet and quickly wraps his arms around his waist, face buried into his back.] I'm sorry Nezumi... [Is he crying? Yes, but he won't let him see]

[He's surprised for a moment and some part of him wants to push Sion away, but he doesn't and just stands still.]

There's really nothing to apologize for.

[And there isn't. It wasn't Sion's fault for this. Nezumi's not angry at him, he's angry at the Malnosso.]

There is! [How can he say that? There is so much to apologize for... so much. No matter what Nezumi says, this was partially his fault. He's too weak.

He grips the front of Nezumi's shirt] I didn't do anything to stop them... I just let them...

[He grabs his hands and holds onto them.] What a troublesome boy I have under my roof. [He says it lightly, teasingly. Honestly, he isn't upset at him.]

And what about Valentines? We just 'let them'? I have to give myself some credit, but if I had the power to stop them from making me recite Romeo and Juliet with you, I would have.

What about the other people here, too? It wasn't just you. You can't control this. Stop acting like this. There's a big difference between just standing idly by and between really unable to do anything. Don't just stand here and beat yourself up. It's not doing you a lick of good.

...But... I forgot you...

[He did hear everything Nezumi said, but it just seems so impossible in Sion's head. To forget someone so important to him, someone he could never bear to lose.

He nudges his forehead into his back a little and takes a shaky breath]

[With a sigh, he turns them so they're in a dancing position. He moves them into a simple step, something Sion can easily pick up.] You remember me now so keep up. I feel like a mother with a clingy child, always having to keep you entertained. [Irritating, but he wouldn't be trying to keep his mind busy if he didn't care so just dance, Sion.]

[He blinks, a little confused by the stance but steps with Nezumi almost clumsily.]

I'm sorry...

[He shakes his head, basically telling him to pay it no mind. But he snorts, amused, when he sees how hard a time he's having with the dance.] We danced like this after you got yourself upset about my fainting spell. You should really discuss our captors' horrible timing. You missed a dance lesson thanks to them. I'll have to teach you again.

[He tugs him a little closer.] Keep your eyes up and your chin up. Don't look down or you'll step on my feet. 1, 2, 3 [He does the steps.] Keep up with that. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3... [Humming a tune, he keeps them moving.]

[...Did they really dance back home? The Malnosso sure do have the worst timing. But at least they get to do it now. He's grateful enough for that.

He stumbles as Nezumi starts to move again, counting in his head when the other stops and tries to keep his eyes from looking down. It really is difficult to not to since he doesn't want to step on his feet! But... his eyes seem to be doing a good job of being a distraction from that.

So he just follows his lead]

[Nezumi actually does have faith in his dance skills, if not him. They did dance before without Sion trampling his feet. He leads them around the living room, honestly smiling.]

Not too bad for a beginner. Perhaps you missed your calling.

[For this one brief moment, Nezumi seems at peace.]

[That smile... It makes Sion smile and relax a little bit. When was the last time he saw him this content? These past few weeks have been stressful for them both. Constant heavy atmosphere. This is a nice change... really really nice.

He follows Nezumi in time without even really counting anymore]

You really think so? I never thought dancing of all things with be my calling. That's more your forte...

I do possess a certain grace you clearly lack. But not all hope is lost. [A part of him realizes he's letting his guard down and a part of him enjoys this.

Yet the instincts he's listened to all of his life tells him he's being dumb. Even if it's Sion, don't drop your guard. He knows Sion's different and he knows, truly knows, he's not in danger. But old habits are hard to break.

His smile fades and with one last twirl, he spins Sion. He claps his hands.] And there you go. You have learned a basic dance.

[He chuckles at that. That is definitely true, Nezumi has a knack for this kind of stuff. Here Sion is barely getting away with a simple dance.

Oh what--he suddenly spins and stumbles back a little, catching his balance on a nearby table. He can't help but laugh at that and bow like a prince or knight would to a queen] Thank you, teacher.

[He gives a bow in return and then turns away to get a drink of water. Facing away from Sion, he remembers when they first danced. When Sion had put his hand on his neck because he had let his guard down.

It was always like this. Around Sion he always let his guard down. It was around that time he realized he knew nothing about Sion. Not what he thought he did know. Since that had happened, he'd seen Sion in his ugliest and he'd also seen him in his best.

He had left, yes, but he had planned on coming back to him. Nezumi had even told Sion of that. There were a lot of things Nezumi had to work on. For himself and if he did want a future with Sion. The scary thing was that he did. That he could admit. Even with this Sion. This Sion that had yet to truly learn everything and see what a horible place No.6 was...

This Sion was still someone Nezumi couldn't stand to lose.

Taking a sip of his water, he turns back around to face Sion.]

See? There's a lot to learn about life. Dancing's just one thing.

Is there anything else you can teach me?

[He just smiles. Nezumi, back home, made a point that Sion knew nothing of the world outside No.6 and even if they aren't home, he wants to learn things he doesn't know. Or maybe they could learn new things together?]

Oh, there's plenty. Though you're not completely unlearned. You know more than me about stitching up a wound. Not that your bedside manner while doing so is very good. You really look like a nut when you get to play with needles and stitches.

Your bedside manner will never be as good as mine, I'm afraid.

I don't look like a nut. [He totally doesn't think he does okay]

Never? How do you know that?

[In a woman's voice, sounding motherly:] A woman's intuition.

[...Alright Nezumi. You earned a small laugh there]

Is that right?
