( in the time between rei's reply and ritsu's text he wonders briefly if he had gone too far in the time he'd been allotted by ritsu, his brother's patience extended by their unusual circumstance, and if that's so then it had been enough. not enough for rei—never; he's the type to stay hungry—but enough for ritsu, he hopes, because rei managed to say a thing or two before ritsu pushed away.
then comes an address, sudden at first, before the meaning settles in his mind, and then things seem okay. not even okay, maybe; just better, and better than before, and sometimes that's okay enough. )
must all your generosity toward me come with thorns ? though i suppose i'm in no proposition to complain
i quiet like my hair the way it is these days
just as we all try come to like ourselves a little bit better over time
i'll take what you've said and carve it with love into the caverns of my heart
no matter how cruelty you craft your words as daggers into me , i'll treasure always your words and your voice
( which is one thing—one's relationship with one's own self is a difficult thing—but to work with someone else—to have a partner, as ritsu's getting at—that's another, and maybe more difficult, even, than making peace with whatever he is, in this life he'd been born into.
he'll remember it, because it's rare for ritsu to offer him such gifts, even if it sits uncomfortable in his stomach, difficult to digest. )

i think i'll use this privilege to come by and insurance my darling brother hasn't gotten himself scraped up when he mistook playing in the wilde as playing in the mud as all good boys do

( this is, slightly guilt trippy, but it's again a sort of inquiry, to see how strongly ritsu feels about the matter. the ritsu he knows... probably wouldn't have it in his heart to back off when barbed so little with such weak words, but this ritsu...? he seems more patient, rei's observed, but it's difficult to tell whether it's due to their circumstances or due to ritsu's growth during some period of time rei had missed (again).
but he isn't dishonest, either. just the day before yesterday, things... had happened, and maybe things could've turned out worse— not that ritsu needs to know. he did want to hug ritsu to feel better, because there's no one he can really talk to it about in good conscience, but maybe it's unfair to use ritsu for his own comfort...? he really is worried about ritsu too, though, and whether he got hurt out in the wilde and isn't saying anything— to rei, at least. )

Ritsuuuu~ My dear bunny brother, how are you? Are you eating well? Are you feeling better? Your changes haven't caused any discomfort to your health or lifestyle, have they . . . ? If so, let Onii-chan know posthaste and he'll soothe your troubles immediately! Whether you need a massage, or someone to cuddle-wuddle with, or someone to hand-feed you, your Onii-chan will do a~nything for you . . . ♪
( his voice falls silent, for the moment. this is all setting aside... how he feels about ritsu changing, which feels like a personal failure on rei's part, somehow, that he failed to stop this from happening. if anything, it makes him more pressed to do more for ritsu than before— maybe he should leave messages more often? he'd resolved on once a week supplemented by plenty of visits (to allow ritsu freedom while still indicating his brother was always here!! supporting him!!!), but maybe this is too neglectful...? )
And, as an aside, mmm . . . I know Ritsu-Witsu's a liiiitle bit shy when it comes to playing with Onii-chan, but why don't you make cozy in my home for a sleepover sometime in the next week? Yako-chan will be present, I'm sure, so you can have a playdate with her ♪ Of course, Onii-chan will be there too, but he'll be a good Onii-chan and support Ritsu and his cute friends from afar while the two of you are playing ♪ How does that sound?
( "sometime in the next week" is an odd way to put it, and it's perhaps a little obvious after looking at the calendar that he's likely going to narrow down the date to the 17th— the next full moon. last month's full moon didn't see any issues on rei's part, but now that he knows how it can be for some people . . . he'd rather ritsu be somewhere safe with him, and his home would have to do. )

it was a voice mail but perhaps i did not send it correctly ; i am still not entirely well versed in generality technology , neverland the technology here

i had initial d invited you to come play with yahoo chin and tomorrow night would still work appropriately for everyone's schedules if you would likened to do that
controversy if you would rather stay as you are i'm sure she would undermine
in which case perhaps i can steal an opportune city to have a sleep over instead ~?
i know i have visited but that's not nearly enough of vitamin ratsu for your o knee chin!! ! ! !! i'll have a little brother deficiency and die with no place to house my soul

if you fail to reply i'll presume there was another error of fate in the technologies and i well prepare for a perhaps lengthy stay
i look forward to it

[ ugh.
well, seeing yako would be nice - but he hasn't really been feeling being sociable, despite not wanting to be alone (being something genuinely cat-like now, sitting in rooms with people until noticed and then leaving immediately). he wouldn't want to be too prickly at her, but telling ... rei that would give him Ideas, and he'd like to avoid that for the moment.
he sort of means to actually reply - just tell him no, stay away, get lost, things of that nature - he doesn't though, settling to "do it later" because he doesn't feel like dealing with it then, and then he just forgets to. ]

and rei has to know it isn't. ritsu curls up tighter, scrapes stinging with the motion - even with the help from that wilder, they sting - and squints at the screen in frustration. ]
then die
[ he doesn't mean it. he rarely really does, in his heart of hearts, but it's buried deep beneath pain and hurt and resentment. their relationship has changed a little, yet has changed little; with other people is another story, but it isn't so easy to let go of silent days spent quietly in the garden terrace, avoiding knights and their fights - preferring being alone to raised voices and the panic of losing more and more people.
even if by then, he'd already lost quite a few. ]

( though it stings, a part of him expected as much. patient though this ritsu may be compared to his own, he was thorny still toward rei. to hope their relationship would be by far more repaired by halloween was ... a silly hope, and one he lacks the right to have.
but he knows, too, ritsu—probably—doesn't mean it, and perhaps, optimistically, it might be nice to think ritsu's prickly reply disguises more affectionate emotion. they're brothers, aren't they? )
if my deer ist ruby stuck wants me over so soon then i'll be over postman haste !
( responding normally, as if everything were normal and ritsu hadn't said what he had, as usual. it was an unfair question, anyway, to both of them.
rei's pace is not the quickest, but he's there fairly soon despite it being a brand new location, with the help of a little sweet talking to the locals every few blocks or so— he's as worried about ritsu's potential injuries as he is eager to see his darling brother. (though he does delay arriving to the door by a minute or two, to scope out the sort of housing ritsu's arranged for himself ... acceptable, he decides. he'd still rather ritsu live with him, but this is enough, for now.
and then!! very politely, he knocks on the door (and rings the bell, if there is one). )

You had a shawl or something for me, right?

he also has... a colorful, large box! it has a pretty gothic pattern on it, and also a bright, red bow.

Ah— Ritsu~ I hope this message finds you well. I had to leave the house for errands, but I was reminded that there’s a festival coming up... Why don’t we go together? We have a few days until its start, so you can turn your mind over the invitation as you please.
... Still, I apologize for being out longer than expected. Kaoru-kun should be home at present, so please ask him if you need anything immediately. I’ll be back shortly.

Ritsu...! I hadn’t wanted to push the matter, since it seems you’ve been eager to spend time with your own friends, and Onii-chan is quite happy his little Ritsu’s been so sociable. However... since today is the last day of festivities, have you given thought to my suggestion we attend the event together? You won’t have to message me frequently, and I’m certain it would strengthen our brotherly bond in a manner so admirable I’m certain even the brothers Gemini would be envious.
( this is both a genuine offer, since he does want to spend time with ritsu, and also... to quell his constant worry about if everything is okay with ritsu during the festival, especially given the less child-friendly activities. )
