Thanatos and Orpheus // Private Thread for the Win

[itsnotaleash]

Orpheus - ... Orpheus, stop ignoring me like that! [Oh, right. Proceeds to move one of Orpheus' headphones out of his otherwise deaf ears. So he can actually hear Thanatos.]

Come on, you need to get out more often! You've been in the Velvet Library for days now... I didn't create the pocket dimension for you to become a complete recluse like this.

You don't have to remind me.

[Said completely blank. Time to guess if it was said in irritation or just depression. Have fun with that! In the meantime, flagging down one of the waitresses. Hope you have your order ready.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It's all right, Orpheus. I'll lean my head down if you ever want to hit me with the Compendium! [... He's trying to cheer you up. Oh yeah, and he'll be ordering a huge stack of pancakes as he hits on the waitress.]

[clockstopped]

I'll just have to start aiming for your ribs. [Oh god not this again ughhhhh just putting in our order for the same plus a coffee before staring at the well. Your habits are embarrassing ffffff-]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Also, I'll have a lemonade with lots of sugar! Hehe, especially if it's mixed by you. [SPARKLESPARKLE. Waves bye to the waitress as she walks away with their orders.]

[THEN AS IF THAT TOTALLY DIDN'T HAPPEN -] Not my ribs, that would hurt...

[clockstopped]

[As if you need any more sugar in your system guhhh] That's the point.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Rubs the back of his head.] ... It would still hurt!

[clockstopped]

[Yaaaaawn.] Like I said - that's the point.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

So cruel, Orpheus...

[clockstopped]

[Shrug. Unsympathetic as ever. Oh hells yes the coffee's here *A*]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Thanks the waitress by way of making her blush. Then once she scurries off, Thanatos drinks his lemonade. Mm, delicious sugar slowly coagulating at the bottom of the glass...!]

[clockstopped]

[Stare. Idiot. Then just goes to drinking his coffee in silence, staring at the table, even if it's more looking through it than directly focusing on anything in particular.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Stirs his lemonade with the straw.] Come on, Orpheus... Cheer up!

[clockstopped]

[Look up slightly. Blink. .... ] Huh?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... Sorry, you just looked more out of it than usual.

[clockstopped]

... I did? [Still is actually. Just not as bad as three seconds ago.] Sorry, then.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It's all right. [Sets a hand over his chest.] It just means I have to try harder to cheer you up.

[clockstopped]

I don't need cheering up.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Drapes his upper body on the table and closes his eyes.] I suppose the pancakes will do that.

[clockstopped]

[Sips coffee, deadpan through the bitterness, before propping his head in one hand, taking the unused spoon that came with it - sugar is for sissies - and prodding him in the head.] Stop worrying so much.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Opens an eye as he's prodded to the head with a spoon.] I already told you this... I can't stop worrying about you.

[clockstopped]

I mean about small things. [Like me being half-asleep and you taking it as my being depressed. Prod prod. :|]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Lazily lifts his hand and swats at the spoon.] I just want you to be happy, Orpheus.

[clockstopped]

[Pulls away until the hand goes back down. Wait. Resume prodding.] It's silly to want something you already have.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Lifts his hand to resume swatting at the spoon - Except he jolts up right after what Orpheus says.] So you're admitting that you're happy?

[clockstopped]

[Jerks back the moment he bolts upright, spoon falling to a clatter on the table. Fast movements ffffff-] Just because I don't have as much energy as you to show it off doesn't mean I'm not happy.
