Lights out but Fun's still on

[Voice For Those Without Light]

Wow it's dark out here. Good thing Sizzle taught me that little flame trick or I couldn't see anythin'. Well, don't panic guys. I'm sure there are candles and lanterns and plenty of oil at the stores. Not ta mention, we can light plenty of fires with wood from the forest. Anyone out there needin' help 'cause they can't see, let me know. I can help ya start some fires.

Has, Ryu, I'll take cara the shoppin' since I don't need ta carry a latern or somethin' with me. I'll practice so I don't have ta hold the flame anymore.

Azzip will still be open and should be a source of light to those of ya lost in the dark. I'll put a bunch of candles and stuff around the place.

The party'll still be on. The dark'll just make it more scary and we need somethin' fun ta look forward to. Just bring candles with your pj's. We can also blow them all out and play "Guess who's hand!" Groping in the dark can be fun!

Edit: I forgot to mention, the party's gunna be on the fourth floor of the fourth appartment buildin'. So no movin' in. Someone help me keep the new feathers out or we're takin' over and they'll just have ta join us.

I think I still have my fire spell.

No groping other people in the dark. -grumble-

[colony_brat]

Has! You never said anythin' 'bout doin' fire stuff too! Is this game stuff 'cause that's real cool.

But I can still grope you in the dark? Come on, not even for a game? It's just harmless fun.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Eh? W-well, I'm not a Shadow Warlock, so spells aren't my shtick but all the characters could get basic elemental spells. I have a couple I know, fire is one. Not much but enough to use for a bit of a flashlight.

Me? Yes. Others.. w-well...

[colony_brat]

*mock glaring at Haseo* All that time I was practicin', ya coulda been playin' with me. I should take ya over my knee or somethin'. Actually that's notta bad idea. Well come on, what else can ya do? A flashlights real useful right about now.

It's just a game, Has. You can have some fun too.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Well, what would you have done when I'm not there 24/7, hm? The practicing was better. Makes you more useful to yourself.

Nothing practical.

E..eh... not comfortable with that.

[colony_brat]

Well ya could said somethin' anyway. *sticking his tongue out*

So what cna ya do that's fun? I like fun. Or just cool and impressive.

*fluttering his eyelashes* Not even for me?

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah.

Not much in this place. I used to have some cool weapons but..

... *sighs and shakes his head*

[colony_brat]

That whole dampening your power stuff? Well, you lighting up this endless night's at least romantic and useful. *fluttering his lashes again*

*chuckles at the head shake* Yeah, I know "silly Duo. He's just so cute."

*looks serious* Actually, speakin' of romance... it's been a while. *smiles at him softly* What are we, Has? I keep tellin' people about ya, but I don't know how ta... explain what ya are ta me. *and now he's nervous so he's going to talk until he's interrrupted* I mean, I know we've been together for a while and I don't wanna force ya ta figure out your feelin's or somethin' before you're ready. I know ya love someone else and I'm fine with that. Better if ya don't love me. You're less likely ta get hurt that way, but I don't know if I should call ya my partner or something. I don't wanna ruin things with ya but-

*chuckles a little and manages a smile*

*listens to him talk a while, getting a little aggravated with the self-defeating attitude. He grabs his arms and kisses him* ... you know what, you talk. ENDLESSLY. Just shut up... I don't like you talking like you're some plague... I'm sorry it's taken me this long. I have a lot.. messed up in my head... but, as far as I'm concerned now.. y-you're definitely my boyfriend.

[colony_brat]

*chuckles* Now that's something I'm used ta hearin'. Save time if I changed my name to shut up, but I like the way ya make me shut it. It really is safer if ya don't love me. I know life sucks and it's hard. That's why I don't wanna push ya or anythin'. It just... I'll never be a very good boyfriend. I mean, I'll never stop bein' a flirt for starters.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

*looks a little desperate* A-Aren't you listening to me? I just said... and I mean it. I am... I mean I.. think I'm.. definitely... *tightens his hold on Duo's hands, frowns and turns head head, flushing, seeming flustered with himself* .. I'm not good with this stuff...

[colony_brat]

*stares at him, brain flying fast enough to rival Heero's when dealing with raw numbers or statistics* *can't decide if he should be horrified or ecstatic* *scoots closer to Haseo, trying to craw into his lap and pull Haseo into his own at the same time* It's alright, Has. I'm not any better. No practice or anythin', but I get what you're sayin'. Still, I feel bad for always bein' a flirt and a tease... 'specially now.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

*huddles himself close, putting his arms around Duo's shoulders* I have a friend named Kuhn and he's worse than you are.. just... try and do it a little less to them?

[colony_brat]

*rubs his face against Haseo* Don't know the guy so I can't argue if I'm worse, but I don't think I'll get any better. Flirtin's one of my favorite way of gettin' epople to do what I want. It's one of the best ways to get information and stuff. I don't think I'll ever be a good boyfriend, but you're worth tryin'.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

... Thanks. I'll try and be around more.

[colony_brat]

I like havin' you around. *cuddling against him* It's nice ta not feel so isolated here.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean...

[colony_brat]

*tangling them together even closer* Ya know this is all gunna end in tears right? Even if Shinigami doesn't kill ya, I'm still gunna break your heart. I'll never be a good boyfriend. I know ya hate hearin' that, but I wanna warn ya.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

... I don't wanna hear it... I-I wanna be happy while I can. I... I don't want to.. I don't... *clings tightly to him and tries to keep his composure*

[colony_brat]

*sighs, realizing that his attempts to save Haseo were just causing more pain now* *rubs his hand up and down his back* Alright Has, I just want ya to be happy and I'll do whatever I can ta make you that way.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

*shakes and tries not to cry* damn it.. damnitdamnit..

[colony_brat]

*frowning, holding on to Haseo as tight as he can* Has? What's the matter? Give me somethin' ta work with.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head, swallowing* I don't understand you. You talk in circles and say one thing to the next and the next. You try to push me away and then try to comfort me. You're just like him, damn it. You're just like..

[colony_brat]

Told ya I sucked at this. I don't have any idea what the hell I'm doin'. I try ta push you away 'cause- 'cause I don't want somethin' ta happen to you. I try not ta get attached to anyone because of it and now I don't know what to do when I am gettin' attacked to someone and I don't wanna see you hurt so I don't know what the hell ta do. *practically ranting and showing his utter confusion too*

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Shutupshutupshutup. I don't wanna hear it. I don't want to hear anymore confusing bullshit out of you today. Do you think I'm some damsel in distress? Like I need someone to protect me? This isn't a war! This isn't a battleground and if it was, I can fend for myself, damn it! Do you think I can't handle it? You're so damn complex that no one can understand? You think I'm weak and will just die so easy because of your fucking curse that's all in your head?! I spent too damn long growing strong to listen to that! I had people to save too! I had my life on the line just as much as you!

I-I don't want to hear it. No more bullshit. No more talking like-- like HIM. The one good thing was that Ovan wasn't here. He wasn't here to use me or manipulate me or make me hurt. And now you're talking just like him! I--

*he grips his fists and stands up* I need some time.. because I can't take someone who's doubting me. I'm a damn fool, a damn fool all over again! *hurries off and out of the house*
