They had to be extremely careful — oddly enough with the curse still clung to them, their family, nothing really changed. The fate of their family remained well plastered unto them like it will always be. Broken curses were nothing but a fairy tail. There was no magic kiss to break this, nothing to say or do, no faeries to wish this to be different. Although, he was trying to make it through life the best he could. Suppose it was the fact that both the Sohma’s took the opportunity not to long ago to run away from the the Main Estate. Despite being tied down by the curse, they felt it would be better to be independent and by themselves to confine the fact that there needed to be some what of leeway on who they could be by themselves.
Haru found it that it was difficult to maintain some other kind of job regarding anything to his interests, which was limited as it was — so he stuck with this due to the fact that he was artistic in more ways than he assumed he was at first. Sketches were done constantly, he didn’t really find anything more relatable on what to do in the city than join in some tattoo parlor that was hiring for assistant till he somehow worked his way up on being an actual artist and constant request to the clients that walked in here. Getting good amount of money to now survive by own hands. The other Sohma kept company within the apartment they bought in the middle of the busy streets. Looking over the skyline of Tokyo somewhat near the tower. Walking was their main source of transpiration and both ate well and took care of themselves. Not so much, however, when trying to avoid human contact —- it was difficult especially when one of them required more human connection than the other.
A hand reached out to hand fingers scratch behind long ears, a small smile on his face as he walked a bit into the walking closet. He grabbed a pair of extra clothes in here in case of any accidents. He used the excuse of blood getting on his shirts but mainly it was for something like this. He’d set the bag on the table next to Momiji and look over his shoulder to the back, no one was around — everyone was preoccupied with the work they had to get done and the main security cameras were only located in the main front lounge in front of the desk and the back hallway where the back door was. Otherwise, they trusted their workers and those involved in employment here this giving the rabbit more privacy in case he did change back at any given time.
“ You’re okay, —- I was going to go on break
soon, closing up my station till later. I’m sorry
I didn’t see you at the door. I’m also glad you’re
okay. Clothes are here, If anyone asks I’ll just
say you’re with me. “
He leaned lightly into the hand that scratched his ear. Haru always
had a way to help him feel better. When the other spoke, he nodded
lightly. He hated having to put the other out like this. Haru had work,
and Momiji was stuck as a furry yellow rodent.
When the other pulled his hand back, the little yellow rabbit reached
his hands out, small claws grabbing onto the fabric of the ox’s sleeve.
“I ... I really am sorry to be
here, to have this happen.”
Miji knew he was interrupting the other at work, despite the other saying
he was going to go on break anyway. He’d nuzzle his snout lightly into
the back of the other’s hand before letting go and letting the other get
back to things. The small animal then moved away a bit, hiding in bag
for now. Who knew when he’d change back. It was always kind of a
random thing. They could be stuck as their animal for mere minutes, or
up to a few hours. There was always a bit of fear behind it. They never
knew when they’d change back. And changing back was as bad as
changing into the animal in the first place, as they changed back
completely naked. It was absolutely terrifying. Some of them took it easier
than others, but Momiji himself was terrified over it. He didn’t want anyone
to see him naked. If he didn’t change fast enough, someone who see.
There was also the chance of someone seeing him change back, and that
was just as bad.
He let out a sigh and just kind of sat in hiding in the bag. If he didn’t
change back, at least Haru would be able to get him out of here easier
if he stayed in this bag.
