DR Side Thread: Hiding Spot

[paradetherain]

[He feels like he screwed up. He knows it wasn't his fault, but he feels bad about it.]

[Colme... he liked Colme, but he was already taken. And Glenn was... almost as scary as Yue was... sometimes more so since he didn't know her as well.]

[But hiding? In a corner in Protopia? He knew he was going to have to face people eventually.]

[Right now though... he needed to sort things out.]

HE SLEEPING, HE FINE, SEE? [A motion to the sleeping melee fighter. He's slumped against the fountain, sword in the ground, visor over his eyes.]

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

[Aw.]

All right. [Resumes petting fff. So broke he can't even summon one of his own demons for comfort aaa. ;A;]

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[Baw, love for you then- yes he has taken notice of the lack of demons around Isamu but the Cu Sith can't connect it.] YOU DEAL WITH DEMON WELL, WHY YOU NEED KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH HUMAN?

Cu Sith...? [Well, look who's waken up and walked in this direction.]

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

Humans can be... tricky to deal w -

[Shuts up as soon as Colme walks over.] ... Did you have a good nap?

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[There's some surprise at who Cu Sith is sitting with but he tries not to let it show. Instead he makes a casual move and remains standing, one hand behind his head.] Um, yeah- it was sorta good I guess...

How've you been..?

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

I've... I've been okay. Sorry about earlier...

[He doesn't even know what he's apologizing for. For being awkward? For being kind of protective? He... doesn't know.]

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

Hey, I said it's fine- you don't have to apologize. [A shake of the head. Not like he could've helped it; if anything, he would've tried doing something like that too.

He takes a seat, letting Cu Sith stay inbetween the two of them.] S'my fault and you know it.

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

It's... all right. I was just worried about you.

[Tentatively puts a hand on your shoulder. :( ]

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[Out of instinct he raises a hand and places it on Isamu's before looking up and offering a smile.]

Yeah but I'm not worth the worry- things work out for me in the end. ... usually.

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

[Hairruffle.]

You're my friend. Of course I worry about you...

also- did you know that strength in another tarot deck is called lust?

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[A laugh, then he shakes his head- not the darn hair again. Friend.

The word strikes a chord because to begin with, he hasn't had that my friends and those he had were gone before anything ever happened. Also. Isamu, Yue, Glenn, Odette, and everyone else.. They aren't just his friends now.

They've become nightmares, not in that ruin your life sense- the point where it hurts to go to sleep because those nightmares represent his fear and that fear is not being able to protect or keep any of them safe. It's why he wears the visor half the time- to hide the amount of sleep he loses over them.] .. Just don't let me be the death of you or something, alright?

In the Thoth tarot, yes. Which is the one that has the Universe arcana. xD

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

I'll try.

[And what the hell. He puts that arm around Colme's shoulders, sighing.]

Things will work out, I think. Eventually.

I will never understand tarots, just know that. XD

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[He leans against Isamu, appreciating the comfort. Gdit we need a place to cry later. By ourselves.]

... You think.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT UP. xD

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

... Well, you can never absolutely know for sure. But you're pretty strong. You can do it.

[Brushes your hair gently. Trying to be comforting fff.]

I KNOW BUT WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. XD

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

Long as I can dodge bullets, then maybe I can. [A laugh- pretty much weak to everything, darnit. Also that hair stroking is throwing him off but he won't bring it up.]

.. Thanks Isamu.

Aww. xD

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

There's got to be some way to learn how to do it.

[... Oh hell. If they're going to be in trouble, they might as well be in trouble together. He leans over and gives Colme a light kiss on the cheek.]

You're welcome.

I almost turned this into a 'REVERSE SOCIAL LINK' tag.

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[He pauses for a moment, cheeks red as he pulls back to look at Isamu. Isn't that what got them in trouble in the first place? There's a smile though.]

.. Like things couldn't get confusing enough, huh?

Sob.

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

We might as well get in trouble together.

[Kind of shaky smile.]

s'okay. : <

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

You idiot, I'm gonna get my ass kicked while your sister shoots anyone in a five mile radius for even looking your way.

[There's a laugh and he leans back, head on Isamu's shoulder.] ... I think I'm okay with that though.

Aww...

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

[Just puts an arm around him again in a loose hug.]

I'll distract her. And Glenn. And your mother. Whatever you need.

... Thanks.

These two. So gay. sob.

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

You don't have to do that, just stand by with some revival beads. [He pauses before returning the hug, an arm around Isamu's shoulders.]

Actually, make it a lot.

It's so awesome. xD;

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles.]

I'll make sure to get some.

Just know if it turns into a 'friends with benefits' thing I may/may not cut someone. :>

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

[He's going to just stay there propped on Isamu's shoulder because that is surprisingly comfortable. Cu Sith's moved off to the side by now, confused but not as worried as before.

Also. Deep thinking is a-go.]

... You ever think that things might've turned out different if I met you first or would we still end up here? ... Screw it, don't answer that.

... Do I have to cut someone or should I just tell you it's weak to slash? :>

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

[Opens his mouth to answer, but then just shuts it, moving so that Colme can rest on his shoulder more comfortably. He just sighs and thinks for a moment.]

Don't worry about the past. The future's the only time that you can change.

... /uppercuts

[donotneedpatra.livejournal.com]

Well we better make a future that's worth it, huh? [Don't mind us we're gonna chill here until someone walks by or you want your arm back- whatever comes first.]
