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.

[Eyeroll and a scoff.] Of course you don't mind.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Is that so wrong? It will only last for a week.

[clockstopped]

That's not the point.

[Turns to stare at to lecture at then... AHEM.] My eyes are up here.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[OH RIGHT. EYES.] Ahaha... Then what is the point?

[clockstopped]

... Forget it. [Sighs and leans back to lie on the bed, legs still hanging off the side. ...... Huh.]

... It's quiet today.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... Quiet?

[clockstopped]

[Not really listening. Covering his ears and staring at the ceiling, eyes clouding over momentarily. Fucker's still there, as always, but there's no more of that white noise or the roars with it.]

... Maybe it threw him off. [Rolls over to stare at, blinking away the glazed sheen so the two bright silver eyes were staring at him in curiosity.] Feeling any better?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

That's really good, then. You deserve a rest from Erebus.

[Ameno-Sagiri's words and Erebus' roar travel through his mind for a moment, but he smiles anyway... Even if his answer sounds so very unsure.] Yeah.

[clockstopped]

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.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

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

[clockstopped]

I said it's all right.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[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.

[clockstopped]

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

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

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

[clockstopped]

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

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[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.

[clockstopped]

[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.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

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

[clockstopped]

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.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... 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.

[clockstopped]

... 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.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... [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!]

[clockstopped]

[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.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[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.

[clockstopped]

Try again. You need the practice.
