KOFtober Day 18: Music

The red-haired boy looked around the empty space of the estate, making sure that his father was gone. As soon as he assessed that it was safe to come out of hiding, he made a beeline towards the living room. The young Iori was covered in bruises and scrapes - his father subjected him to a particularly brutal training session. His head was still ringing from the impact of his father's fists, and his clothes were also torn from the vicious claw-like strikes.

He could still hear his father's cold remarks in his head.

If you are this weak, then you are not worthy to be my son.

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes as he approached the living room. He huddled down by a table, burying his head in his knees as he sobbed. He had no one to turn to at this point, and no one can offer him any sort of comfort. During the midst of Iori's sobbing, he caught something in the corner of his eye - a pile of records were in the corner. Next to it was a turntable, which seemed to be seldom used. Now that his curiosity has been piqued, he wiped the tears away from his eyes and made his way to the records and the turntable. He had often seen it from time to time, but he only saw it being used by his father a while ago.

Upon picking up the first vinyl in the pile, he could see that the cover of that record was brightly colored and depicted a beach scene of sorts. On the back were the members of a jazz fusion group, and they seemed to be stylishly dressed. Shrugging his shoulders, he took out the vinyl to the turntable. Seeing that he wasn't tall enough to reach, Iori quickly made his way to the kitchen to find something that can help him reach it. Fortunately, he was able to grab a stool and bring it back to the living room. Taking the vinyl in hand, he lifted the needle off of the turntable and placed the record on it. Upon lowering the needle, the scratchiness startled the boy, almost making him lose his balance on the stool.

That's when he heard the music: bright keyboards tinkled their way through the music, accompanied by pounding drums and a thumping bassline. A brash saxophone barged its way into the music through a series of arpeggios that led into the main melody. As the track progressed, the boy found himself lost in the music - for a while, he forgot about the pain and the tears. This was what he needed the most.

KOFtober Day 3

Favorite canon female character: who else?

KOFtober Day 11: Favorite Non-Canon Pairing - Iori x Athena

Iori rolled his eyes at the movie he and Athena were watching together. He didn't know what possessed her to pick Beauty and the Beast of all films, but she was adamant about it. They were now sitting on a couch in her trailer, and she wanted to spend some quality time with him.

As childish as the movie was, however, he found himself feeling more relaxed around her.

"He really is like you, isn't he?" Athena said to Iori as she pointed her finger towards the Beast, who was in shock upon hearing Belle's thanks for rescuing her from the pack of wolves in an earlier scene. Iori's only response was a derisive snort at the ridiculous proposition, as he didn't exactly appreciate being compared to a Disney character, of all things.

...Or, was she hinting at something?

When he looked down at Athena, Iori could see that she was nestled rather comfortably against him. As if by instinct, he found himself wrapping his arm around her and holding her closer against his chest. That startled Athena, but she didn't seem to mind in this instance.

"Iori?" she asked as she gazed into his eyes.

He only emitted a hum in response to her question. Iori could feel her slender arms wrapping around him, which made him tense a bit.

"Is everything okay?" she asked as she nestled her head against his broad chest.

"Yeah."

Athena didn't seem to totally believe Iori, as she was always worried about him. She knew that his mind was always addled, and that always worsens whenever Orochi's presence was at its most potent. Now that they were more than friends, her concern for his well-being was ever-present, as she wanted to help him calm down.

And in this instance, Iori was feeling more at ease in spite of the movie that was playing on the television set. He was just...content to be with Athena, and that's the only thing that mattered.
