Open to All | City Streets | Street Cleaner

He wore a wool jacket with his usual work pants and loose white shirt as he slowly made his way through the streets. In Jacob's left hand was a broom, his right hand a bag. He tried not to touch the crystals but when he saw one drop to the ground he quickly swept it into the bag. There were enough memories from his life that he didn't want to share and he imagined that others felt the same. It was impossible for him to cover the entire city but any reprieve to those he has come to care about was worth it.

Of course, he had to figure out what to do with the crystals but he'd have time to sort that out. Perhaps he could drop them into the water and let them be hidden by the sea. If they were really likely they'd disappear but Jake had never considered himself lucky. If anything he was unlucky.

He could be found anywhere around the city with his broom and bag. The bag varied in size throughout the day, growing with each hour but it wasn't enough. There were crystals out there and he couldn't do anything about it.

At least he had the broom, should he meet anyone who had bad intentions towards him.

Jake really had the worst luck.

Closed to Yuki | Blue Building B-06 | Finding Memories

He wasn't sure what to think. It was a strange memory but the strangest part was how it made him feel. It wasn't bad… not exactly but it made him realize how much he didn't know Yuki and at the same time, it made him realize how little he shared with Yuki. He understood from a logical perspective but it made him feel uneasy. Things couldn't always be happy and it was these memories that were the most important; it was these memories that should be shared.

Jacob didn't know if Yuki had found any of his memories. He was sure that there were some out there but it was something that the pair should talk about. If this relationship was going to be more than skin deep…

He was scared but knew that it was important that they talk.

Jake stopped outside of Yuki's door, knowing that the young man would be home. It was dinner time but he didn't feel like he could eat. He hoped he wasn't interrupting.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Then we're similar. My sister is about ten years older than me. It's hard to be close with that much of an age gap." There were more reasons that they weren't close but Jacob wasn't going to go into the dark and depressing history after so much as already been revealed. It was a lot and while he didn't feel the weight of it all, he could tell that Yuki was still thinking.

Sometimes he wondered if his boy friend thought too much.

"It's good to try and get closer. Even if its never perfect. It's a way to show that you care." Jacob really didn't want to get too close to his sister but he was trying his best to be a better brother.

"Do you dislike your brother? Airy is really annoying and has too much energy for me. She also worries too much." It was really really annoying when she went off on a guilt trip. She always found a way to blame herself.

"Right." Yuki agreed, but he just didn't want to go into all of the details of how it was a little hard to let go of being abandoned. He was working on it of course, but he wasn't quite all of the way there yet. So he just remained quiet until Jacob asked his question.

Well damn.

"He.." he began and then shook his head. How in the world did he explain? "Ayame is just worlds apart in his mannerisms and thinking than I am." The fact that his brother had a thing about playing dress up men's romance thing hidden behind a handicrafts shop was going to give him a right headache.

So he didn't mention that.

Jacob understood the feelings of abandonment but he never expected anyone to stay with him. Eventually everyone left and he told himself that he was okay with it. It was easier that way.

"I think siblings are just supposed to be annoying." He buried his face against the crest of Yuki's head and inhaled deeply. They had been talking for a short period of time but he felt utterly exhausted.

"Yuki?" Jacob whispered, uncertainty threading through his voice. "Is it alright if I stay here tonight? Not-" He swallowed. "Not to do anything weird but to stay like this. I want to fall asleep holding you." He didn't want Yuki to get embarrassed but he wanted the comfort of the others presence. For once he didn't want to have bad dreams.

"I think you have a point." Yuki replied softly. He loved the fact that Jacob was this close to him. His heart was doing all sorts of flips and was racing and it made him feel lightheaded and dizzy.

And then he was asked if he could stay. "Of course." he replied, almost too quickly. With the words spoken he closed his eyes against the tears that threatened to come out unexpectedly. He wasn't sure how to feel about the 'anything weird' comment but a part of him knew what it was pertaining to and he felt his face turn red.

So all he could do was get as close as humanly possible to Jacob and reiterated what he said. "Yes please..stay with me."

"Good." Jacob felt his muscles settled into the couch while his arms remained firmly encircling Yuki's waist. They'd likely need to move but right now Jacob was happy here. This was the moment he wanted to cement in his memory.

It'd take a great deal of effort for him to let Yuki go.
