ANIME IMAGINES

{Blue Exorcist} - Okumura Rin

"Remedy"

"And to that I conclude that you somehow have an effect on him." Mephisto ends his hour-long lecture, turning his office chair around to face you. He laces the tips of his fingers and places his chin on top of his hands as he wore his usual malicious grin. "I know you're aware of this as well, Miss L/N."

"I have no confirmation of such to support your last statement, sir. Rin and I are close friends, it's no question that he responded to my call." you reply politely, hands placed behind your back.

You had been called to Mephisto's office in saying that he had something to inform you. He talked about the incident the other week when Rin had gone berserk in his sleep, struggling to break free from his own nightmare. The event almost burnt the whole dorm down since not even Yukio could wake him up. The report instantly reached you and the other ExWires therefore help was given fast. Half of the dorm was already engulfed in blue flames when you and your company got there.

"It's no use! I tried everything I could think of!" Yukio coughs as Shiemi tends to his support. His coat was close to ashes and he had scratches on his face. "A demon gave him a nightmare and he just won't wake up!"

"Oi, Okumura! Keep your shit together and wake the hell up!" Suguro yells and tries to get further inside the room, only to be stopped by falling debris from the ceiling. "Crap!"

"Rin!" you desperately call out along with the others but he wasn't budging an inch and remained floating in mid-air like a corpse. You grunt in frustration, knowing that all this yelling isn't going to work.

"If we don't handle this ourselves, the superiors will." Yukio says, a hint of fear sparks in his eyes. Frightened at the idea of Rin being subdued and imprisoned again, you lose your sense of caution. You catch the perfect timing to run towards him, avoiding the falling wood while you hear your classmates call your name in worry.

You grab Rin's shoulders, shaking his body back and forth. His entire stature was being swallowed and blazed by flames but you wondered why it didn't burn your skin at all. "Rin! Wake up, you stupid ass!" you scream at the top of your lungs yet you fail to wake him. You grab his arms tightly. "RIN!!"

After that last shout, he regained consciousness and the flames practically disappeared in a flash. It was a relief that there were no other casualties and no one got badly injured so the issue wasn't given a big deal by the higher ups.

"Close friends, huh? Are you sure that's the reason why he was obedient?" he raises a brow at you, another mischievous smile creeping up on his lips. "Because I find it a bit unusual for his younger brother not being able to subdue him despite trying desperate measures. And may I point out several events of Rin Okumura stopping himself from charging without orders in some missions because you told him not to. As far as I'm concerned, he wouldn't even listen to his own brother before and would choose to run head-on. Now why would he listen to you?"

You open your mouth but you couldn't seem to find an answer and ended up questioning yourself as well. If you think about it, whenever Rin got pissed or would lose his temper, he would always stop in the middle of his tantrum the moment you would call his name. You didn't consider it as a big deal since you thought it was normal for him to snap out of his demonic personality if he was pulled back by someone. Yet you never really saw any situation of anyone else but Yukio being able to prevail over him like that.
