Drabble, 100 x 4 - WK
I killed the ikkou once, I come very close to the end of Weiss here.
Title: Ghost Writer
Word Count: 100 x 4
Characters: Weiss
Series: Kapitel
Summary: Some instructions you leave behind...
Ken keeps his in a shoebox. The joke about keeping his room as a shrine falls flat, but he doesn't expect otherwise under the circumstances. He doesn't say not to burn the body, instead just that ashes are no good for plants, trusting them to understand. The money will be split between them, he asks only for a new net for the pitch in the park. Under the bed where the ink won't fade, it's addressed to Aya. He apologizes, even though Aya hates that kind of thing; a leader needs to hear that his men would've followed him anyway.
* * * * *
He bought the lockbox on a whim; it holds his few important papers. He doesn't want them bogged down with details, so there's a list, short and to the point. Clothes can be trashed or donated, though he offers Ken a leather coat. Any money he's managed not to squander goes to Omi; college isn't far off, for all that they call him "kid." The roadster is Aya's to sell or keep, everyone knows the money will go towards his sister's care. It starts, "Dear Omi," so the kid 'll know Youji always needed someone to take care of him.
* * * * *
Nowadays most of the things he keeps are typed up, neat black letters on clean white paper. But the plain manila folder in his bottom drawer holds handwritten pages, three simple "Thank you's". He mentions specifics, and each has at least one, "Remember that time when..." He adds to them sometimes, as new things come up, to help them all remember. The pages are thick now, and eventually he will put them in separate envelopes, but they are young yet. Omi's seen enough war movies to know that you don't mention tomorrow, so he just writes to them about yesterday.
* * * * *
Aya locked his in the shop safe the night before his first mission. The instructions for taking care of his sister are explicit, filled with details he's sure the doctors never realized he understood. No less so are his wishes for Aya-chan should she wake. He loves her, and tells her. It seems stilted but she knows him well enough to understand. He demands a promise of an attempt at happiness, to remember their parents; he says nothing of himself. For the others he leaves nothing because he's realized he can't think of them in numbers less than four.
