This doesn't fit Kanda at all but I saw it while I was scrolling and I had to

[This week is a strange one.

Kanda doesn't like having his head fucked with. That was true long before he woke up here, and after everything he's been made to see, to believe, to forget, his hatred of mindfuckery has only grown stronger. When they snap out of it, there's a decent chance Kanda will be pissed.

But for once, this is so... innocuous. Simple. It's not like forgetting Alma, or seeing Lenalee die, or being drugged. This hurts no one, except, perhaps, through nostalgia and loneliness--or the realization, later, that this was all fake.

But they don't know that yet. To Kanda, it's just a harmless montage: enough that when it fades, he frowns a little, confused.]

Why would it share that.

[It's just a simple memory? All they did was get food? There's nothing traumatizing or deeply personal about this, which is weird, when it comes to memshares here.]

[ once it hits them that all of that was a fabrication--the kanda parts, anyway--caelus will also perhaps need a minute to himself. for processing. for attempting to understand why the fuck anything would do that to him, to kanda, to their already tenuous, uhhhhh, acquaintanceship. ]

Maybe this once it's showing something nice?

[ even caelus with his routinely happy-go-lucky attitude sounds unsure about that one. 'nice?' anything in scawwy or its connected worlds or its graveyard? there's always a catch and usually it's gutting. ]

I have been thinking about the Luofu lately.

[ though he can't remember why at the moment. ]

And we haven't been spending as much time traveling together. [ in this scenario, it doesn't seem embarrassing for caelus to flat admit he wants kanda around. ]

[It should probably occur to him that it would be weird to have a second round of memshare when none of the other effects have repeated themselves, but luckily Kanda is an idiot, so it doesn't.]

Tch. [tsuntsun] You know I've been busy.

[Doing--what, exactly? He can't quite remember, though it doesn't really matter, because he'd say that anyway. The best they've ever been able to wring out of him is grudging acknowledgment that some of the planets they've visited haven't been so bad; as if he'd ever agree that it's been a while since their last journey, even if his surliness is always betrayed by the way he lets them drag him off places whenever they do get time together.]

[ they're temporarily locked-in by virtue of there not being two braincells between them to rub together. the lack of synapses fired renders the au almost too plausible. ]

After last week I was told to take it easy. Why don't you relax for a while, too?

[ he lifts his arms upward for a stretch then settles them both on the back of his neck. it is weird to see a memory that leaves him feeling nostalgic and docile rather than about to explode.

also this is a joke bc then kanda goes on break-in so. ]

[He sure does go on a break-in]

Relax? here?

[IN THESE MURDER CONDITIONS?]
