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.

[No need to rush, since there's that feminine shriek again as he falls up the stairs in a similar fashion. Fucking heels o-ow D| Have a another short stream of curses. Trained manners can shove it for the rest of the day.]

Ah, Orpheus - ! Are you all right?!

[It's a good thing he rushed since now he's right next to the fallen one. Wraps his arm around Orpheus' waist and helps him back up to his feet.]

[clockstopped]

I'm fine. [A few more angry mutters while being held by the other, using the time to quickly yank off the heels in question. HA WHAT NOW STAIRS >o/ Thus gets to the third floor with no problems. Victory!]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Thankfully, he follows up the three flights of stairs without falling up anymore. Since that would have just been annoying! Then just walks with Orpheus towards their dorm room.]

[clockstopped]

[Thank god I'm always the one who has the keys, huh? Fumbles for a moment trying to get the key out with his hands full, but succeeds in unlocking it. Yet again holding it open for the boss. So considerate.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Shouldn't it be the man who holds the door for the woman? Eh, not like it really matters right now when Orpheus was the one with the key in the first place. Thanatos heads right in and goes to flop onto the futon with a fwump. At least the dorm room is empty for the moment, though the fennec fox they keep as a pet yips at the two when they enter, rushing immediately towards Orpheus.]

...! [Slams the door before it can get out, staring down at the fox as it chatters excitedly. ... I'm still mad at you for attacking Naoto. STOP BEING CUTE F-FFFFFFF Walks past to go deposit his things in the drawer WILL NOT FALL FOR THAT]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[The fox continues to follow Orpheus! Have some adorable noises as its ears perk up.]

[clockstopped]

......... [O-oh god so cute... Quick glance to where Thanatos is laying to make sure he's not watching. ....... Kneels down to pet. ONE TIME THING ONLY.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Looks up right as the fox is pet.] Aw, you're warming up to the fox!

[clockstopped]

..... [Pulls hand back as if burned, then stands up and proceeds to ignore it. BACK TO PUTTING BRAS AWAY YOU SAW NOTHING.] For that thing? Never.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

So cruel, Orpheus...

[clockstopped]

It attacked our roommate, if you haven't forgotten.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

He hasn't since!

[clockstopped]

Wonder how long that trend will last...

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It will last awhile!

[clockstopped]

I should hope so.

[Or else a certain fox is becoming a goodwill gift to a certain Garm in exchange for discount coupons.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[... Or Thanatos could just take the fox back to the door he got the critters from.]

[clockstopped]

[... That too.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... So, Orpheus?

[clockstopped]

What?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

What's it like being a woman?

[clockstopped]

... [asdfjlkcvjlasd WHY WOULD YOU BRING HIS THOUGHTS BACK TO THAT. Have a fist banging down on top of the dresser, biting his lip afterwards in OW.] Nn... harder to stay calm, for one...

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Jumps at the loud noise.] ... Ah - ! Sorry, I was just curious.

[clockstopped]

It's all right, just..... [orz. HATE LOSING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS THE RESULT.]
