[For those of you in the park this evening, it's possible you might see a bunch of suitcases piled up near the lake. Well, some of them are piled up, anyway. ]

[Lea is sitting on one of them, shoulders hunched and his back bent. Anyone with sharp sight or who gets close enough- he's too caught up in himself to notice someone right away- will notice a few things, like how his brow is furrowed or his fingers are extremely red and twitching uncontrollably. If someone watches for a while longer, they'll notice a small, brief light go off in the palms of Lea's hands before it's gone. A small, rough edged orb of ice plops down to his hands and is stared at for a moment before Lea throws it out into the lake.]

[Rinse, wash, repeat. Repeatedly. ]

[Every now and then, he curls into himself and clutches his head, hissing- clearly a headache or, worse, a migraine. But he seems determined to ignore it and just keeps making the tiny chunks of ice after a few minutes. ]

[Care to interrupt him before he gets frostbite? ]

[Oh, and Isa, Demyx, or anyone else who might have reason to go into the apartment Isa and Ven once shared with Lea... They might notice that all of Lea's things, from his A-T to his weapons to his clothes and whatever else, are all missing.]

[Guess who's standing creepily in the forest, watching you.]

What are you doing?
From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
[Lea jumps slightly, and his latest crappy ice creation drops to the ground. Rubbing his fingers, he shrugs back at Stein.]

Practicing.

[And emoing. And probably dead set on losing his fingers. But sssssssh.]

Why're you in the trees?
From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
[Oh, is that how it's going to be? Fine. He'll ignore your questions right back, jerk.]

Are you sleeping in fields and stuff again? I told you to get a hotel room if you needed it!
From: [identity profile] patchworkdoctor.livejournal.com
No, the lab is finished. Where are you sleeping?

I've been crashing on a friend's couch.

[Except all his stuff was back in the apartment. Which, er, it's not now. Yeah.]

[action] I THOUGHT WE GOT OVER THAT STAGE, STEIN

From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
[There's a brief pause, but then Lea curls back up, arms wrapped around his knees as he stares at the lake.]

...I don't know what to do anymore.

[action] THAT STAGE IS THE ONLY STAGE HE KNOWS.

[He wanders over from the tree and plops down beside the suitcases, taking out a cigarette and sticking it into his mouth.]

Why is that? Did you get into a fight with your friends?

[action] TIME TO LEARN A NEW ONE

A couple of 'em. I mean, Riku wasn't really a close friend, but still, he told me stuff when no one else would, and I thought...

Why would anyone want to help some scumbag who's done nothing but hurt other people? Why are they acting like nothing happened?

[action] LEA IS ALSO STUBBORN.

Date: 2011-02-20 02:24 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
Yeah. Him.

[That tone of voice? Pretty much describes exactly how he feels about Vanitas. It involves much hatred and violence.]
From: [identity profile] patchworkdoctor.livejournal.com
[He's quiet for a moment as he pats his coat pockets down and locates a box of matches, lighting his cigarette and blowing out a deep breath of smoke. Stein truly doesn't know what to think about the entire situation - he's a stranger to this entire universe, and was only involved by chance.]

Tell me what's been happening.
From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
[Also, 1/3.]

[Lea just curls up a bit more, glaring out at the lake. Fortunately for Stein, the doctor's already proven to be at least a good listener, so... He ends up spilling.]


Ven's too sick to tell me anything even 'tho he was just as gun-ho as the rest of us to kick Vanitas' butt, but whatever, I could chalk that up to him being totally out of it, but then there's Riku-

2/3

From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
And there's no freaking good excuse for him! He knows the crap that Vanitas has done! He knows he's attacked innocent people with those monsters of his, he knows that he scarred up Isa's face for no good reason at all, and then he mocked us for it!

And the only reason he can give is because the freak helped him once! That's sure as hell not a free card to anything! He's still a psychotic nutjob who's hurt more people than he's ever helped by a whole freakin' lot and I'm not going to pretend he's some reformed sweetheart just because he acted nice once or twice just to give him an opening to screw over my friends AGAIN-

3/3

[His voice is starting to get choked up and his buries his face in his hands.]

And I hate that anyone's siding with that jerk when it's hard enough for me to fight him period because I'm weak as it is-

And now things are getting weird with Isa and I don't know what's right anymore or what I'm supposed to say or do or anything-

And I miss my mom and dad and I hate this place and I just want to go home.
From: [identity profile] patchworkdoctor.livejournal.com
[Stein's silent through all of this, staring out placidly over the lake, every once in a while breathing out smoke. Lea finishes and he's silent for a moment or two afterwards, mulling everything over.]

It's possible that you're missing a piece of the picture, but I agree. It's frustrating to see the two of them so close so suddenly.

[He's still just an outsider, but he was there. He watched it all happen. He watched Ven die, watched his friends mourn. It's legitimately frustrating to him that so much happened, so much was sacrificed, and everything seemed to change overnight. It didn't make sense.]

What happened with Isa?

They... kind of were getting close before I got here. But, uh...

[Awkward pause. Ear scratch. He hasn't confessed this to anyone of his own free will.]

He. Um. He said- during the curse week so I don't know- that he... liked me like that before. [And this is where his speech suddenly gains a speed boost. Rambling, get.]

I meanIkindalikedhim back but he was with Demyx y'know and he's my best friend first and anythingelseever last and I just wanted him to be happy andohjeezthatsoundssocorny but ANYWAY not too long ago he kinda called me over and Demyx was there andthenthat'swhenhespilleditout and I mean I didn't know how to act then either because I mean, Demyx was RIGHT THERE, I don't even know what he was thinking then, but he said hekindalikedmetooorsomethingIdon'tknow-!

[Gasping. For. Breath. Run on sentence? Finished.]
From: [identity profile] patchworkdoctor.livejournal.com
... That sounds complicated.

[Good god. Love triangle on top of everything else? This kid needs a breather.]

I can't give you advice for it. I can only tell you what I see from it.
From: [identity profile] prominence-glow.livejournal.com
It is. I don't get it. They're still going out, so why'd I have to get dragged back into it? I was getting over it...

[SIGH. Why is this his life?]


Sure. Go for it.
From: [identity profile] patchworkdoctor.livejournal.com
...

You should do what makes you happy.

Conforming to whatever society thinks is only a way to make yourself miserable. It feels like a cage. Find what you want. Act on that instinct.

I doubt anything would have happened in front of Demyx unless they already had something in mind.

But... What could they have been thinking about?

[what is polyamory? Lea is confused.]
From: [identity profile] patchworkdoctor.livejournal.com
I have never fully understood relationships.

[Let that sink in for a sec.]

But, I can tell you that I understand that if someone confesses their love for you in front of their lover, they've already discussed everything between themselves and are likely interested in welcoming you into their relationship.

Otherwise, it simply wouldn't happen. That's just the way it is.
