Mun,

I'd prefer it if you didn't drag me out every time you think I'm getting bored. The others do that often enough on their own without your help. The routine of working and study is enough activity for me. If I wanted to go out and be social, I'd call a car and go someplace myself.

You'd never go out if left to your own devices.

[unseeingjustice]

[Heh.]

Nataku. Since when am I ever left on my own?

[dragonsmemory]

[Smirk.]

Not as often as I'm sure you'd like, bookworm.

[unseeingjustice]

[Like he can see it.]

I know you, Nataku. You'll never leave.

[dragonsmemory]

[But he knows it's there.]

Of course not. Like you never left me to fight alone.

[unseeingjustice]

How could I? Your memory followed me.

[Yep, completely took that the opposite way.]

[dragonsmemory]

[What. Steps up to lay a hand on his cheek.]

Have you forgotten? Or has your mind become addled?

[unseeingjustice]

[Quickly brings a hand up to grab and feel hers.]

It must be. I shouldn't be able to feel your touch or hear you.

[dragonsmemory]

[Grumbles, letting him feel her hand to his heart's content.]

I told you your precious books would make you stupid.

[unseeingjustice]

[Traces some of the scars by memory, frowning when he finds ones that shouldn't be there. She shouldn't feel warm...]

Books don't make a man hallucinate about the dead.

[dragonsmemory]

[Snorts.]

Because I'm not dead, husband.

[unseeingjustice]

Your gravestone would argue.

[dragonsmemory]

[Frees her hand to poke him in the chest, pointedly.]

Can a ghost do this?

[unseeingjustice]

If a man is hallucinating, I'm sure it can.

[Wants to believe, painfully so, but knows she's dead.]

[dragonsmemory]

[Growls and grumbles unfavorable things about stubborn husbands not believing what's right in front of him.]

Why do you think I'm dead?

[unseeingjustice]

[Smirks. Now that is something he's more used to hearing from her.]

Because you died in my arms, Nataku. Long before I lost my vision.

[dragonsmemory]

[Glares, even if he can't actually see it.]

When?

[Meaning who does she have to kill?]

[unseeingjustice]

Which? Your death, or my eyes?

[dragonsmemory]

[Frustrated huff.]

Both.

[unseeingjustice]

[Rolls his eyes at that huff, blind or not.]

I would have thought you'd remember the attack you died in. They targeted our colony.

My eyes went two years ago on their own.

[dragonsmemory]

[Silence for a moment, then reaches up to touch his cheek again.]

Wufei, I survived that attack. Barely. You didn't give up on me.

[unseeingjustice]

I never gave up on you either. That didn't change the fact that you died.

[Leans into her hand.]

[dragonsmemory]

[Snorts but doesn't pull away.]

You brought me to the doctors.

[unseeingjustice]

[Shakes his head.]

It was too late. I didn't have time.

[dragonsmemory]

[Pulls her hand back just a little to give him a light smack.]

Idiot. You did have time.
