Yandere!Kars (JJBA) - The Sweetest Sound

It was beyond lonely, floating through space without anyone to talk to. Every day was filled with silence, surrounded by darkness with just the glistening of stars to peer at through the windows. Oh, how I missed the sight of Earth, with all its different lands and the shimmering blue of the oceans. How I missed the sight of the glistening towers of the cities and the vast forests that had taken over the rest of the land, once people had figured out how to clean the world up. Ahh, how I almost desperately at times missed home.

Sure, I might have signed up for the job since I needed the money to supply my little pet projects, but it was nothing like they had talked about during the meetings or even within the hundreds of pages of material they had given me to read through before I was allowed to board the ship. They had promised frequent calls and messages from friends and family members, as well as work-related messages.

In what world was getting a message once a month, usually to confirm the latest shipment of supplies, considered 'frequent'? And don't even get me started on the total lack of calls! Even if my family didn't want to talk to me, considering me the black sheep of the family tree, I had been so sure that at least one of my friends would be willing to call. I had even made sure the calls to me would not cost them anything before signing on that final page, so it wasn't like they couldn't afford them.

So why? Why had nobody called me during the many months I had been floating out here? I was so lonely that I had even begun talking to the plants that I cared for, the miniature orange tree my favorite out of the gardens the ship held inside part of the massive domed room that made up the central unit of the ship.

Of course, that didn't mean I didn't hold some level of affection for the other small fruit trees, herbs, flowers, and various vegetables that grew within the gardens. They just didn't have that same citrusy smell that always seemed to make each day a little better. A tiny bit more easy to handle until the day I could finally head home again.

I was pulled out of my moping by the sound of something scraping against the ship's hull, almost jumping to my feet as I hoped whatever piece of space junk it was hadn't damaged the exterior. The mess from the last meteor had already used up a fair amount of supplies to repair and I didn't want to have to scrap something just to have the parts I would likely end up needing.

"What the heck?" I breathed out, staring at what was in front of me as I stood on the outside of the ship, having suited up to go examine the damage the computer had listed after a systems check.

I felt my shoulders sag as I looked at the chunk of meteor embedded in the side of my ship, already able to anticipate the time it would take to fix the damage, not to mention I would have to scrap one of my pet projects based on the parts I would likely need if that panel was the one I thought it was.

Darn it! And I had been so close to making an automatic watering system for the garden, too. Something that would allow me to stop having to listen to that stupid reminder I'd set in the beginning so I wouldn't forget to do it. It's not my fault I'm lousy at remembering stuff like that. I'd just rather spend my time listening to music or writing or sleeping or tinkering with a new project. Pretty much anything that was more exciting or enjoyable than holding a watering can over a patch of dirt.

Sighing heavily, I turned around and made my way back inside, making a mental list of all the tools I would need to bring back outside with me. I wonder if I could just scrap the comm unit instead since nobody seemed interested in talking to me anyhow...

"Oh, not again! Not now!" I screamed in frustration as I felt the ship tremor, the alarm going off as the hull was breached this time around.
