Thanatos and Orpheus // Private Thread for the Win

[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.

I guess. [Even though later he's going to storm out and go verbally rip Ameno a new one. Way to put yourself back on the radar genius.]

[And that earns you a slight frown. Hn, you don't tell me the truth either. Jerk. >:\ But goes right back to neutral a half-second later.] ...All right.

... There's just not much more I could say about the subject.

I said it's all right.

[Oh look, it's Thanatos' turn to bang his fist against a hard object. This time it's the wall next to him. Ow.] It's not all right.

[Jumps at the loud noise, immediately propping himself back up on his hands to look at you incredulously. Explain plzkthx?]

I'm sick of all the lies. That's all... [Stares at the wall.]

... [Guilt'd. Lies back down and rolls over to be facing away. The folds in the covers are awfully interesting right about now.]

[He didn't mean to guilt Orpheus. This is why he would much rather keep his mouth shut when he angsts. Fff- ... Gets up off of the futon and finds his way onto the bed with Orpheus. Screw the rules, Ryoji has Elizabeth's wallet.] Hey, I didn't mean you... I meant my own lies.

[Still staring at the fabric, only half-registering what he's saying. What lies are talking about? Oh, you mean all the ones I didn't tell you about? That I still don't want to? But the voice is still even as he speaks. He didn't hear your words, but the presence was enough to get his attention back.] The rules say one person a bed, sir.

[Moves so he's halfway off of the bed, and uses Orpheus as a cling pillow.] I'm not a person.

You are to me. [~~Or is that not good enough?~~ Existential crisis. You can't help with that, huh? And the only reaction towards his clinging is relocating one of his hands that was a bit too close for groping away from its target audience. Like having a clingy associate is worth freaking out over broken rules.]

... I'm still not getting off. [~~Of course that's good enough! Angst doesn't have to make any damn sense.~~ It's all right, though, he'll slowly work his way to those breasts. For now Thanatos is going to take Orpheus' hand and set it against his chest so he can feel the beating heart there.] You feel that? It beats only for you.

... All right. [And he'll swat you away whenever you get too close. Sorry brodawg, no fondlings for you. Although that last part does get him to roll over slightly to stare at you like you're a fabulous retard.] It sounds like you're hitting on me again. Word your thoughts better.

... [Not even a little fondle? Not like Thanatos will ever have a chance to touch a real girl's breasts that are that size. He then blushes at Orpheus' words.] Hitting on you? I was just ... [Oooh can't he do anything right? This sucks!]

[Maybe if he asks nicely he can get a squeeze or two. Or else he'd have to be a super ninja molester while he's sleeping. Though the latter would make things hilariously awkward for the rest of the week. Oh, and the second part? You get some quiet laughs. He didn't mean to break your little brain.] It was a joke.

[He sighs.] It's true, though. What I said that sounded like I was hitting on you... I'll try to word it better at some point.

Try again. You need the practice.

... What's that supposed to mean? ... Ah, well. I'll give it another go! Let's see...

... You gave me this heart, so I'll do anything I can for you. Even if it hurts myself, I won't care. That's my promise to you.

Haha, some boss I am! I don't mind my Assistant taking control.

What was what supposed to mean? [Lalala~ I'm just an innocent zombie.]

That's a bit better...

[And then the amused smile turns a bit sad.] I don't want you to do anything that would hurt you... You don't deserve that. ... Though... you are a pretty bad boss sometimes...

[Some things ya can't lie about. Sorry bro.] But that's fine. It's better that way.

You said I needed practice! I don't really, do I?

[Slight chuckle.] I can't take back what I said now! I already promised you that even if it hurts, I'll do what I can for you. You deserve that. Someone always here for you.

[Kisses Orpheus' hand.] It is. I'm just not very great boss material.

[♫~] Did I?

What? That's no fair... [Sigh.] But fine... that's all you have to do though. Just stay here. Don't guilt yourself so much. ......... And no throwing yourself into harm's way or anything like that either.

I'll just have to teach you to be one. I won't always be here to help you out. ... And if you get a replacement assistant, I'll have to find a way to haunt you.

[He's kidding. ... Or is he? WHO KNOWS. But at least he's in a better mood.]

[Pouts.] Yeah, you did.

... That's too many rules! If anything happens I'd just forget all the rules and break them anyway, you know that. Though I'll try not to guilt myself so much... It won't get us anywhere.

[Aww, Orpheus is cheering up. So cute.] All right, then you teach me to be a good boss. ... Now I'm just imagining the Compendium speeding towards my head when I do anything idiotic.

How is that too many? You have no idea... [orz Elizabeth] Good. I don't like it when you're depressed.

All right... [...] Isn't that how it is already?

It's too many when you're me! Especially since I would do all of that in the first place...

[Have a squeeze around your middle.] I don't like it when you're depressed as well.

... I meant as a way to haunt me when you're gone. Though you could totally ignore that and never haunt the Compendium to do that.

Not really. ...That's why you're supposed to follow them.

[You get a quiet "Mn" noise when he's squeezed. But otherwise falls silent. Still a bit depressed, sorry bb.]

...... That's a good idea.
