[Tenth] Moonrise: Video ⇥ Questioning

[beforemoonfall]

[Fail-Filtered from Demyx and Lea]

[When the feed flickers into life this time, Isa's sitting in the hallway again. To avoid Demyx for the moment. He's kind of blushing a bit. Dammit... Something's up.]...So, uh, Vatheon. Got a question. What, uh, happens when you have a boyfriend, but then you realize you're crushing on your best friend at the

[Hey Isa, guess what. On the downside, Demyx was just heading down the hall with a jug of milk when that broadcast went out. On the upside, he didn't hear a thing thanks to the headphones jammed in his ears.

Except only one is in. Let's pretend this is Castle Oblivion, guys!]

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen~♪

Somewhere in the middle of that he fumbles in his own impromptu dance steps on 'dancing queen' and thanks to the added weight on one side, he thumps into the wall face-first. But at least the container isn't damaged!

Some dancing queen.]

Son of a--Phew, it's safe.

[beforemoonfall]

[...Oops. Isa'll quickly stand and scratch the back of his head.]

Hey, Demyx.

[ninthserenade]

Hn?

[His first thought? 'Oh crap, someone saw that!' His second, he vocalizes.]

What're you doing out in the hall again, dude? I don't lock the door, y'know.

[beforemoonfall]

I was sending a message. The hallway's more ambiguous than the apartment.

[He won't tell anyone, Boyfriend.]

[ninthserenade]

[Hey, Lea already caught his little duet with Riku.]

How many people know what the inside of the place looks like?

[beforemoonfall]

I don't know. How many transmissions did you send from inside your own home?

[Ouch. It could be worse, though.]

[ninthserenade]

Uh... Four? I think two or three were in my room, though.

[On the 9th line, there was no embarrassment to be had.]

[beforemoonfall]

Whatever... I'm done now.

[A pause, then a scratch at the back of his head.]

...Hey. I... Need to talk to you... In private.

[ninthserenade]

[Stare. Then he shrugs.]

'Kay.

[beforemoonfall]

[And now Isa is going inside and going to pace because this is kinda difficult.]

[ninthserenade]

[Hum te tum, just going to put the milk away and snag the bag of goldfish crackers he started on last week from the top of the fridge. Couch time--Wait, why is he pacing?]

...Okay, dude--What's up? I've never seen you pace before.

[beforemoonfall]

...It's... It's confusing.

[He's tugging at his hair now.]

...Basically, I, uh... ...I...

[Just say it.]

IkindahaveacrushonLeabutIlikeyouatthesametimeandIdon'tknowwhattodo.

[There. He said it.]

[ninthserenade]

...

[Pops one in his mouth. Chew. Swallow. Pick up another one. Decipher that jumble of words--]

All I got from that is 'Lea' and something about me.

[...Did he know about that pillow fight?]

[beforemoonfall]

...

[SIGH.]

Er. I kinda... Have a crush on Lea. But I like you, too. And it's just... It's really confusing and Selphie said I should talk to you both.

[ninthserenade]

...He was here the other day, y'know.

[He pats the cushion next to him twice. C'mere, Little Boy Blue.]

Kinda showed up before I was gonna storm off and blow off some steam about Xiggy and he kinda cheered me up. ...Well, more like he cheered me up a lot.

[A beat.]

What's confusing about it?

[beforemoonfall]

[He'll come over and lean on Demyx, still frustrated at himself.]

I'm glad he did that. He's... Good for that.

[And now to the other topic...]

...Because you're not supposed to feel like this, right? Liking two people like that?
