Summary: It was strange that Edward wasn’t in his posted refuge of the laboratory.
It was strange that Edward wasn’t in his posted refuge of the laboratory. Kenshin stood in the doorway, one hand on the door frame, and did another sweep of the room with his eyes. The lab wasn’t particularly big - the only place Edward could hide from Kenshin’s view would be behind the couch, and there was no way that he would stay that still and silent for long - if he even realized that Kenshin was there looking for him.
It was disquieting. Edward was a creature of habit - they all were, really - and his absence with no prior warning settled a shred of worry in his gut. Edward had a propensity for digging up trouble, whether he was looking for it or not, and an even greater penchant for taking the burden on himself, alone. He never wanted to ask for help, especially if he felt like he needed to protect someone. Kenshin was the last person who needed Edward’s protection though, and they both knew that.
Edward just liked to conveniently forget that.
The den was quiet as well, the television off and the only person present an Edward, distinguished only by the wisps of blond hair and prominent antenna escaping from underneath the pillows he had barricaded himself under. Kenshin did not hesitate, he knew at a glance it was not the Edward he was looking for - the two bare feet dangling over the arm rest told him all he needed to know.
He shouldn’t let himself worry like this - there was no indication that Edward was in any danger. He was likely in TROUBLE (or would be, whenever Kenshin actually FOUND him) but not in any actual danger.
Kenshin scratched his neck, and headed back upstairs, trying to ignore the unsettled feeling.
