Thanatos and Orpheus // Private Thread for the Win

[itsnotaleash]

[When the pageant was over, Thanatos didn't bother to stick around any longer than he had to. Ameno-Sagiri's words still boomed in the back of his conscious as if the other Shadow was still right there. To Thanatos, anything that was once familiar made no sense. Just when he finally began to accept he was Death... More had to happen that would cause him to feel uncomfortable about his existence. Was his heart really nothing more than just a lie? He had been so happy at the pageant. Yet, it seems happiness was only temporary when you were Death incarnate. So here Thanatos was, all alone, with a serving of unagi don in his hands to try and settle his stomach. Unfortunately, the sweet taste of eel wasn't making him feel any better. A glance outside then made him feel even worse. The fog was still in sight.]

... Lies hurt just as much as the truth? Yeah, right.

[Strokes his hair absently while he starts wibbling again, somewhere in the back of his mind realizing how easily their position could be mistranslated by onlookers. Though either doesn't care or don't notice, too busy trying to comfort him while speaking softly.]

I don't know exactly... however long I would have lived for normally. At least another fifty for sure...

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Rubs his face against Orpheus' chest with a sniff. Thanatos even tries to smile, though it's a little weak.]

So we have time to enjoy our lives together. Right?

[clockstopped]

[Smiles back slightly as well. A bit sad, but who can really help that.]

That's right. Plenty of time.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Sits up enough to rub his eyes.]

Then I'll make the best of that time with you.

[clockstopped]

[Happy smile at you~ Yay, Master's finally cheering up. Now get your face out of my cleavage.]

Good.

[Hey, Orpheus? Have a spine crushing hug from a Thanatos.]

[clockstopped]

[AUGH MY SPINE Fifty more years of this orz.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT, ORPHEUS. Anyway, Thanatos releases Orpheus from his spine crushing hug and is now using Orpheus' chest as a pillow to lean on. So very comfortable!]

[clockstopped]

[Suddenly wants to hit you. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS? Must be a female thing, but restrains it nonetheless. Have some headpets.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Thanatos has to get some use out of those new warm pillows there.]

[clockstopped]

[That's why he's not doing anything. Thanatos is the only one who gets to sleep on the new pillows. Special privileges and all that.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Cuddles up and closes his eyes. All that angst has made him exhausted, so he's going to be trying to take a nap. Feel free to keep him awake.]

[clockstopped]

[Wants to let you sleep, but trying to carry him back to the dorms afterwards... probably wouldn't work like this, huh? Not to mention..... o-orz. Attempts to shift so he falls asleep on the bench and he can escape.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[The shift only causes Thanatos to jerk back awake] Orpheus?

[clockstopped]

[Damnit.] ... Y-yes, sir?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Where are you going?

[clockstopped]

... I have some things I need to pick up.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I'll come with you.

[clockstopped]

...

[ASDFGHJKL]

That won't be necessary.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I know, but I'll come anyway!

[clockstopped]

[Mentally sputters for a moment DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FFFFFFFFFF- ...... G-god you're lucky you just got over being emo or you'd be getting throttled again.]

... All right.

[Gets up before quickly walking off, clicking heels echoing in the hallway again. Assuming Thanatos is following again, what with his head bowed in shame again. Dear god this is going to be embarrassing as all hell.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Follows after Orpheus, that unagi don back in his arms. He wonders if it's still edible... Eh, of course it is! It's just a little room temperature now. Thanatos eats while he walks.]

[clockstopped]

[Quick glances over his shoulder every so often to make sure he's still following. Distracted by his food, huh? Then silence for a bit as he walks. Long enough where it would be an automatic reaction to keep going forward. ... Yet, turns on his heel a perfect 90 degrees and power walks into the store he was in earlier that week with Mitsuru, having a short conversation with the Alp behind the desk before Thanatos gets wise enough to eavesdrop. Although the Alp's subsequent laughter might be enough of a ping as it drags the assistant into the back. Have fun being alone in a lingerie store, sir D:]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Had been following Orpheus without paying any attention while eating his distracting and delicious meal, so when Thanatos finally looks up from his unagi don, he realizes he is in a lingerie store at the moment.

He is in a lingerie store.

Alone. In a lingerie store. Cue utter confusion and some mind break.]

[clockstopped]

[He can probably now hear the sounds of a quiet scuffle in the background, ending out in some rather loud arguing. Then a rather feminine shriek before the androgynous voice takes back in a yell of "keep your hands off!". More laughs from the Alp, a short chain of some rather inventive curses, before the Alp's chime of "C'mon, show your boyfriend!".]

He's not my boyfri--!!! ........

[Too late. The Alp's already grabbed your assistant by the shoulders and dragged him out of the changing room. Hey, remember the first two-piece black dress? Only the black part of the skirt is on now. And one rather revealing black and laced front-clasped bra. 36D fits perfect, don't you agree? EMBARRASSMENT TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. And the Alp chips in with a "So what do you think?" Poor poor Thanatos.]
