[あなたは一人じゃない.

You are not alone.

Karai had taught them this. Their dad taught them to be there for each other.

It's been far too easy to forget these things in a strange world apart from the people you know and care about, the company you took for granted as it seemed there would never be anything so great that it could keep you apart. Donnie's had to be constantly reminded of these things, the sayings and teachings that his family kept close, to keep being reminded. And in that emptiness that threatens to swallow him, those words keep him afloat.

He can't do anything to make Accelerator feel better, but he can at least keep him company, even if he's not in the same room. It's kind of like when he and Mikey end up hunkering down, waiting for arguments to pass. They can't do anything about it, but they can weather things together.

So Donnie waits. He keeps himself busy, he tends to his plants, finishes off both coffees, and works on that laser installation. He fiddles with his phone and his data collection.

And eventually he ends up napping at the end of the couch.]

[As much as Accelerator would like to, and despite the fact that he normally doesn't have a problem doing this, he can't manage to actually fall asleep. He just lies there in bed, feeling miserable about himself and missing Last Order.

It means he can hear Donnie puttering around. What a pain in the ass, surely he's got better things to be doing than stick around here. Who would want to be in the vicinity of such an awful person? Especially when he won't even get out of bed.

He grumbles under his breath and squeezes his eyes shut, trying to ignore the rising guilt that's coming with being such a shitty friend.

Unfortunately for him though, all of that means he can hear Donnie not leaving. He's expecting that after a while, and when he doesn't hear the telltale sounds of the turtle climbing out the window or saying he's off or whatever, he starts to get confused. Maybe a little concerned.

It takes him way too long, but he eventually drags himself out of bed to see what the hell is going on. Donnie has his crutch so he's mainly supporting himself by leaning on the walls as he makes his way out to the living room.]

......

[He sees Donnie napping on the couch.

Goddamnit.

It's a pain, but he'll go retrieve a blanket and drop it on Donnie before going back to bed.]
