A True Elsewhere.
The girl had appeared one Sunday evening at Caldina's bar and soon enough she became a regular, always quiet, staring at her with such wide, hungry eyes that for a while Oruha had thought that she knew who she was in the game, but weeks went by and the girl never approached. Every Sunday she'd stay a few hours as she sang her three or four songs, and the girl would only ask for water despite how there was no legal age to drink in the game. According to Caldina she was perfectly polite if distant, saying that she just wanted to hear her song.
She always did come. Once every week, usually on Sundays, sitting down on the same table, looking almost like a lost doll, her expression so sad. Over the time, Oruha decided that if she was in the game for her, the least she could do was to offer her songs to her.
The girl had appeared early one Sunday, sitting down on a bench and soon enough Kazuhiko thought of her as a regular, despite the fact that he and the girl never spoke. She was always quiet, though, and she always came alone. She would sit down and look up, towards the branches of the tree that was offering her shelter. Sometimes she'd smile if she caught sight of a bird or a squirrel. If she did find them, she'd open her schoolbag and she'd take out some bread to give them.
She never did buy anything else, though. She'd drink from only one bottle of water and sometimes she'd move through a few benches, as quiet as a ghost, but she always returned. Sometimes Kazuhiko found himself waiting longer than he ought – Gingetsu would be sure to tell Ora that he had been late just so she would tease him forever – just to see the girl stand up and walk away.
So one day, Oruha gets close to her, takes two glasses of water and goes to sit by the girl.
“It's okay if I sit?” She asks and smiles, because Kazuhiko always says that when she smiles there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, and if for just one moment she gets to do that for this girl, that'll be alright.
The girl looks at her and Oruha feels her heart breaking at the loneliness in the girl's eyes.
So one day, Kazuhiko folds his paper around midday and stands up, goes towards the bench where the girl is.
“Hey, kid,” he smiles, because Oruha always says that smiling there is no way he would feel threatening, and he doesn't want to scare the girl away. “Do you want something to eat?”
The girl looks at him and Kazuhiko feels his heart ache at the sadness in the girl's eyes.
Oruha gives a long sigh, putting the comb down. “It broke my heart when she said she just wanted to hear me sing. She seemed so sad!”
There's a moment of silence before Kazuhiko comes out of the bathroom, a curious frown on his face.
“This girl, Ora... you mean a cute girl, around fifteen, more or less?” Kazuhiko asks, moving a hand to his chest. “Around this size? White-blondish hair, green eyes?”
“Yes!” Oruha looks at her boyfriend, frowning. “You didn't investigate her, did you? Kazuhiko!”
“Hey, you just told me about her!” Kazuhiko assures, hands raised in surrender before he shakes his head. “No, no, I think...”
“There is a knight,” the girl, Suu, confesses after Oruha asks her if she has family. Suu looks at her, soft and hesitant, as if a little breeze could blow her away and Oruha doesn't stop herself from moving closer, holding her hand and twining their fingers together, palm to palm. Like this, she can think that they're actually face to face and it's not just in game. “He is very kind, even though he doesn't seem like it. The birds like him.”
“There is a princess,” the girl, Suu, confesses after Kazuhiko asks her about her family. She's moving slowly over the edge of the sidewalk, arms raised to her side, not looking at him. Kazuhiko doesn't stop himself from staying close, and when it seems as if Suu was going to fall, he holds her. She looks at him for a moment before she stands by her side, not saying a thing about his hand around her wrist so he doesn't move it away. “She is very kind, and she was the most amazing voice. Her words are poetry.”
“I would like to stay with him.”
“I would like to stay with her.”
They both appeared before the girl on a Sunday evening. Suu's eyes were wide and a little scared, holding to her schoolbag, little startled bird looking were to run.
It's Kazuhiko who offers a hand.
It's Oruha who steps forward and smiles, simply saying; “You said you'd like to stay with us, right?”
Kazuhiko mutters about ordering some food as he walks inside their apartment. He doesn't let go of Suu's schoolbag – where Suu had confessed she had another set of clothes and some food and what little money she made during the week and nothing else – as he walks inside.
Oruha takes off her shoes, asks him not to ask for onions nor pepper, please, and then turns to look towards Suu, who is still standing there, as if not knowing what to do.
Oruha smiles. Kazuhiko comes back, the phone pressed between his ear and his shoulder. Suu finally took a deep breath as she moved to undo her sneakers.
“Excuse me for,” Oruha just quirked an eyebrow, Kazuhiko a warm, solid line behind her. Suu looked down and gave the first smile that she – and she was certain that Kazuhiko, too – had seen on her before she properly stepped inside. “I mean... I'm home.”
Oruha smiled, opening her arms for Suu, holding her close.
“Welcome home, Suu!”
Kazuhiko hugged them both, his arms warm and heavy and so there.

They come to her cage often, because she loves them and they love her. "Hello, Suu," Oruha says everytime, with a warm smile and open arms. It never ceases to make Suu's heart flutter and trip, because she can look down from her tree top and see the songstress that first taught her what her wings were really for - first taught her how cramped her sky was - and see Oruha's eyes looking at her. Seeing her.
Not alone anymore.
"Are you coming down?" grins Kazuhiko. "We have a surprise for you."
Of course Suu is coming down. She will willingly give up her wings for these people, stay in a cage because they make being grounded bearable, inconsequential, worth it. She forms her wings and glides to the ground, and they are gone in the next moment, so that Oruha can slide slender arms around Suu's back and hug her tight.
"Suu," she says, "you are so cute!"
It makes Suu blush, and Kazuhiko comes over, and grins, and presses a smacking kiss to her flushed cheeks. "That she is," he agrees, and then sighs in an overly satisfied manner. "My two favorite ladies, all wrapped up in each other. What more can I ask for?"
Oruha laughs softly, voice music bright and glorious. She leans down to Suu's ear, and Suu presses both hands to Oruha's arms and merely lets herself be held, basking in the warmth of Kazuhiku's smile. Oruha whispers, "He could always ask for booze and a big bed, don't you think?"
"U-um," Suu stammers. Her blush is not receding, and the way Oruha brushes her lips over Suu's ear doesn't help. "You said you had a...a present for me?"
It makes Kazuhiku laugh, and Suu lets the sound roll through her, warm and perfect. "Well, it's more from Oruha, than me. To be honest, I think it really is a gift for me."
Suu frowns a little. "How is that?"
Oruha laughs, and sways a little, rocking Suu with the motion, still holding the smaller girl to her fondly. "Silly," she says, "Why would I give you a gift?"
"Because you love me?" Kazuhiku kneels on the ground, and beckons with his fake hand for Suu to put out her leg. She does, while Oruha holds her steady, and laughingly agrees.
That's when Suu sucks in a breath, though, because Kazuhiku is trailing his fingers up Suu's leg, the pads of his fingers callused against her smooth skin, catching and sparking like fire all the way up her calf, past her knee, and up her thigh. There he pauses, and presses a kiss to her clover marking. It makes Suu shiver, and Oruha holds her tighter.
"I saw this in the shop," Oruha tells her, pressing a kiss to her temple, her cheek, her ear. What Suu hadn't even registered a moment before was that Kazuhiku had also been drawing up her leg a garter, silk and white lace. It looks like something Oruha would wear, only more innocent. Oruha murmurs, "I thought it would look stunning on you."
"I agree," Kazuhiku says, with a gentle intensity. "It does."
Suu swallows, overcome, and does her best to smile. It's so much easier than it once was.
"There." Kazuhiku stands up, steps forward, and envelops both of his girls in a warm embrace. "That's what I like to see. Your smile, your eyes full of joy: that's the real gift."
Her heart doesn't need a sky to soar in; it's perfectly content right here.
