Who Would Want To Be Sane? *OTA*

[time_schizo]

Martini was sprawled out in a chair his team's main room, trying to focus on the book in front of him. He had been attempting to distract himself from all sorts of lingering thoughts floating around his head. Most of them were not pleasant to dwell upon. It was so tempting to just forgo his medications again and retreat to the insanity again. At

"Martini?" Jason didn't like how upset his friend seemed. He wasn't sure if there was anything he could do about it but he could always try it. "What's wrong?"

He was still irritated with Emma's words and of course her rearrival in the camp. It could hurt Nicky and that enough was reason to not want her around.

Martini glanced at his young friend with a dark, troubled look in his eyes. He was no closer to making himself feel any less jealous than when he has stated to walk. "Stuff that you won't understand until you've fallen in love. Which, by the way, I recommend putting off for as long as possible."

"Love is stupid,"he scowled arms crossing over his chest. Jason had no plans to love it just meant more things that could be used against you.

[time_schizo]

Martini nodded his agreement. "And horribly complicated, and a whole host of other not so very nice things. All it does it make you worry and feel jealous." At the last part, a spark of anger flew into his eyes, resting there without leaving. "They say love is blind, but believe me, love is insane."

Jason shifted on his feet for a second before just deciding to use his more direct approach. "Did he do something?" He was sure he wouldn't need to clarify considering they were talking about love.

"Not yet, but..." Martini trailed off, fingers running through his hair. "It's Emma. She's back, and I dunno how he's going to react to that. They were close, and he used to chase after her back in Africa."

"I know she's back. I wish she had just stayed gone. Nicky thought of her like a mother and now she is different,"he shook his head. Jason couldn't explain it just that she was different.

"You and me both, Jason." Martini felt so relieved he wasn't alone in his unhappiness at the blonde's return. "When she came back onto base, I got this feeling. Not like the visions I usually get, but it was just as strong, like a premonition. She's going to cause something bad to happen, I just know it."

"I almost prefer my father's presence to her's. That is saying a lot,"Jason sighed looking up at his friend. "Do you want to go get something to eat?" He slipped his hands into his pockets.

[time_schizo]

"Dude, I completely agree." He tried to hide a smile at Jason's words. Despite their seriousness, he found them to be quite funny. "Let us do. Any preferences?"

[toywithyourmind]

Jason looked thoughtful before a very real grin spread across his face,"Want to see if there is any junk food somewhere?"

[time_schizo]

"It just so happens I know where a large pile of it is stored, courtesy of Tabby and Fred." Martini smiled, properly happy after getting a small part of his ranting out of the way. He liked seeing Jason looking like a proper kid for once, instead of the miniature adult he often came across as.

"Let's go then!" Jason might not say a lot about it but he did really love chocolate. He was glad that his friend seemed a lot happier now.

[time_schizo]

It didn't take long to find the contraband. Mark tossed a candy bar over to Jason, preferring gummi candies that were a little more sour himself. "'There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate.' -Linda Grayson. That was a very wise woman."

[toywithyourmind]

He laughed softly tearing open the candy bar. Jason took a bite smiling as the taste spread through his mouth. "She sounds like it."

Martini smiled, letting the sugar kick in. He'd be paying hell for it later when he was bouncing off the walls. In his particular case, this was meant quite possibly literally. "I know I probably don't need to mention, you being you, and me being me, but let's keep all we've discussed between ourselves. I don't want Ric to, well, get pissed off."
