Summary
He wanted to retch.
“‘Goshi?” A quiet, soft voice broke the evening silence, and Legoshi’s jaw set.
“Go back to sleep, Jack.” He said, softly in return.
Wrong answer. Jack could smell emotions, and he knew the smell of anguish well on Legoshi. He’d worn it like a perfume in Junior High. The Labrador Retriever slid down the ladder, and sat on Legoshi’s bed, eyes clouded with sleep, but brow set.
“Talk to me.”
He considered sugarcoating it. Lying. A number of things, really.
“...Tem’s dead.”
In the end, he decided on none of them. Lying wouldn’t change the facts. Jack’s eyes went wide, and Legoshi saw his brain turn back on in real time, the exhaustion draining out of his face with every blink as he tried to understand.
“Precognition you can’t stop, or current events you can’t fix.” Jack said, solemnly.
“Either one.” Legoshi croaked. “Either he’s dead already, or I won’t be able to go out and save him.”
Or, I rewrite my Beastars Jojo crossover fic, and give Tem a bigger part to play.
