Thread 4: Surprise guest (newheroblack)

[So a couple of days after the whole ferris wheel fiasco (which he's trying to forget overall, thank you very much), Gold's in his kitchen baking poffins for his mons while Sapphire's out]

And you ran out in the cold?
[sigh] Never mind, guess I'd have gone out too if he'd disappeared. Could have come in when I told you too, though.

[Tsun head turn.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[sigh. He'll stand up and go grab something he made earlier, re-heating it before he passes you the mug]
Don't have anything better here, I don't get sick easily.

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

...Thanks but I think I'll pass the chocolate. Not great at keeping things down.

[Yeah. He kinda wants to go home he's embarrassed he fainted.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

It's tea, man.

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[Sniffle. This is his reply that he cannot smell. But he's looking at it now. Sipping is a go.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[He'll let you sip a few mouthfulls, but then he sits on a chair opposite you]
... I think we need to stop acting like idiots. Both of us.

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[He's staring at his tea but he's listening.]

1/2

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

All we do is hurt each other. We just start with teasing and before you know it one of us's gone for a weak points and we end up at each other's throats.
I'm too hardheaded to give up halfway through once I've started bothering someone, and you're much too good at hitting where it hurts, even if the other's already down. Don't think I didn't see how you manipulated the kid.

2/2

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

I've had enough of it. I see you as a friend, and the kid wants to be friend with us both, so I think we need to learn a bit of restraint with each other.
The only reason this goes on is because of our stupid ego anyway.

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[His eye lids are half lowered but they have a slight glint in them? He's still wordless but speaking through body language instead. He's finishing his tea, it feels soothing on his throat.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Might've been a better idea to just avoid each other, but...
I don't want to make him sad. And besides, I don't really want to either.

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[He leans on the palm of his hand.]
I don't either but I don't see why we have to force incompatible relations with each other.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Who said it was incompatible? We get along fine when we're not trying to prove we're the best at everything.
Somehow we keep coming to talk to each other even after fall-outs. Must mean something, right?

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

It's dysfunctional and it's dysfunctional to the people around us. People not on great terms talk to the other time from time.

[He leans back, his face is still flushed.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Aren't we dysfunctional anyway? We'll need to get over some things one way or the other, might as well start now.
I want to try, Touya. No matter what you think, I see you as a friend.
[and then he looks you in the eye and notice the flush and position]
... shit d'you have a fever?

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[He's looking up a bit before he answers] Yes, I have a fever.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Shit, I don't even have any aspirin... You should probably get back to sleep. Want to drop on the bed? I don't think he'd take the entire space.
... no wait you're probably contagious.
[eyerub, this is a headache]

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[He has a raspy chuckle at 'wait no you're contagious' though true...something was funny. Probably fever induced laughter.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[raising an eyebrow] What's so funny?

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT FEVERS CAN DO MAN. Chuckle]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[sigh]
... you need to sleep. Badly.
[and he stands to try and push you back in a sleeping position]

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

I'd sleep better if I was at home.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

You're in no state to go home, idiot. You'll go when you can actually stand and you and the kid get some rest.

[mr-neutral.livejournal.com]

[You get a weak whap in the face for the idiot comment. But he plops over on his side afterward. Huff.]
