Sixteenth Flame - Video - Sunshine

Ow... Man, did anyone get a look at the chocobo that ran me over? 

[This is Lea, still cuddled up in his blankets at Stein's house. What? They're comfy. Myde is curled up in with him. He has no idea where the hell Alex has wandered off to.]

If anyone was wondering why I was all radio silence... I think I hit one of those weird random comas. Just eff-why-ai and all that. I see we still got the bubble thing floating around.

Anything else up, Vat? Any newbies flooding in?

[locked to Selphie]

Your name is back on the SFC. You alright?

[locked to Stein]

Dude, I checked the date. You better have been eating while I'm gone! [Why is he using the SFC when they're in the same house? Who knows.]

[locked to Isa]

So. Uh. Can we talk about somethin'? I'll come over- you better be at the house, you're freakin' workin' like a dog.

[locked to Demyx]

[And here's where it gets derpy. As Lea switches the filter, he grins and averts his eyes before glancing back at the screen. It's obvious he's trying to fight back the longest grin ever. He coughs into his fist.]

So. It felt... really nice. Really really nice.

Like hell it doesn't matter! What the hell were you thinking!? You're always telling me not to do stupid shit, but here you are siding with the enemy! That stupid old man isn't that big of a deal!

He was breaking you down, Lea! And I couldn't sit back and watch that happen! I didn't like it, and Xemnas is confusing as hell... But I did what I had to for you.

He wasn't breaking me down! I could handle it! Besides, putting yourself in that shitty position is even worse!

Nothing even happened! I cleaned his place! That's it!

How the hell do you know, Isa?! This is the guy who destroyed our world behind our freakin' king's back! I wouldn't put it past him to do something to you!

You shouldn't be near any of those freaks at all!

Listen, just get over here. I don't work for him anymore, and I didn't talk to him more than I had to.

Voice | Filtered; - action

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I'm almost there. I can't fucking believe you-!

[Click.

Not too long after, he arrives at the house and immediately gets to searching. His first reaction upon finding Isa? A fist going right to his face.]

Action forever

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

[...He expected that, and he's sitting on the bed. Sighing, he just rubs his cheek.]

...Well?

Like Lea's rage

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you! Why didn't you just talk to me!? With Demyx!? Anything would have been better than being an idiot like this!

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

...That all?

[Just going to rub at his face.]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[Instead of being reassuring or calming, Lea just finds himself getting further incensed by Lea's apathetic attitude. He whirls around, fighting back tears of pure frustration.]}

Fuck you!

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

It's in the past. There's no changing it now. I know I messed up, but arguing about it won't change a thing.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I don't care! You're a jerk!

_{[He's storming through the house, trying to find Alex. Most of what he's saying is being yelled back to Isa.]}

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

[Isa will sigh, then get up and follow Lea, suddenly just grabbing him and holding him close.]

...I'm sorry. I really am. I just... I didn't want you to get hurt again.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Ah-!

_{[Lea tenses up at being caught, and reaches up to grab Isa's arms. In the end, however, he just lets his hands hang there.]}

...Wouldn't get hurt.

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

...I don't care. I want to make sure nothing can ever hurt you or Demyx again.

[Nuzzling into shoulder now.]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

And what about you? You forgot about all the stupid shit I've ever done or would have done when you've gotten in trouble? Or when I thought you were?

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

...As long as you and Demyx are all right, I can handle anything. That's all that matters.

[Going to hold you close, Lea. And not let go.]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

...You freakin' idiot. That's not gonna work at all.

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[He seems to not see a problem with this.]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[The day that Lea is the one with common sense and Isa isn't is a scary day.]}

'Cuz you'll do something stupid to protect us, but then one of us will do something stupid to protect you, and the last one'll do something to protect that guy. It's gonna be a stupid neverending circle of stupid ass ideas.

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

...

[Isa takes a deep breath. Calm. Remain calm. This isn't like you at all.]

...Right. Sorry.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

...Let's make a promise.

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

...Promise...?

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Besides Demyx, Axel, Roxas, Xion... No dealings with the Organization. They answer one of our feeds, we don't even listen. Just click it off. No talkin' to 'em, no believing 'em. Assume everything they spew at us is a lie, alright? Especially if it's about someone we care about.

If it's really important... [His mind rushes, as the thought bubble indicates.] We'll have someone else check it out. No getting involved ourselves. Stein's good with stuff like that, talk to him.

We'll stay away from 'em. Both of us. Promise?
