[The SFC fumbles on to show Wataru, dressed in a tuxedo and looking completely soaked. He's shivering, and his voice is a little hoarse, but despite that it's very clear that his demeanor is incredibly different. He's standing, not with his shoulders hunched in, but straight up, his gaze on the SFC direct and firm.]Hello, everyone. I--I think I

[brb putting on a fake angry face.]

Where are you?

[His eyes widen a little.]

Ah... at home now. Should I... meet you somewhere, Demyx-san?

Outside Barracuda Coffee. I'm already there getting somethin' to eat anyways.

[Don't be afraid, bro. He's just going to shake him around and cry a little.]

I'll be there soon.

[Wataru tries to gently talk Gamzee into letting him go by himself, but no dice--Gamzee is trailing behind him when he gets to the cafe. He puts Gamzee at a table near Demyx's and musses his hair gently before he goes over to Demyx's table, tilting his head a little curiously.]

Demyx-san...? Is everything all right?

[ninthserenade]

[He'll just pinch at one of Wataru's cheeks, then carefully tugs on a small clump of hair. For a few minutes Demyx actually forgets that he's supposed to be acting 'upset']

It's you, right? I'm not just seeing things?

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru arched an eyebrow, then leaned in to poke Demyx ticklishly in the ribs.]

Convinced yet?

[ninthserenade]

[Stare. Stare. Stare.

Then he whines.]

Wataru--!

[INCOMING CRUSHING HUG.]

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru squeaks a little, but hugs him back tightly.]

Demyx-san. Demyx-san. I'm sorry.

[ninthserenade]

You're such a jerk-- G-Gamzee, he was worried about you--A bunch of people were. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid--!

[There might be a muffled not!sob.]

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru tries not to look alarmed and pats Demyx's back gently.]

I'm sorry, Demyx-san. Truly.

action;

[ninthserenade]

Don't do it again. Please. ...M'sick of friends disappearing. I-I mean, sure they come back but sometimes they don't remember.

action;

[kamen_luthier]

I didn't do it on purpose, Demyx-san.

[His voice is very soft as he rubs a slow hand up and down Demyx's back soothingly.]

But... I'm sorry. And I'll try.

action;

[ninthserenade]

Good.

[It's muffled until he pulls back a bit, offering a small, nervous grin.]

Promise you'll try your best.

action;

[kamen_luthier]

[Wataru smiles back softly, squeezing Demyx's shoulder a little to reassure him.]

I can definitely promise that, Demyx-san.
