[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.

[ninthserenade]

He gives good back rubs, too. Really good ones.

[He leans forward just far enough to put the bag on the coffee table, quickly relaxing against Isa.]

If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right. The reason why I say this is 'cause eventually we kinda got into a pillow fight--Mostly one-sided, but I fell off the couch and then he fell on top of me after a water clone whacked him with the other one from behind.

[He should probably feel guilty for confessing it, but at the same time he didn't.]

I... Didn't really mind. It was kinda weird 'cause it's my friend's Other, but at the same time it wasn't 'cause Lea 'n Axel are kinda two different people.

...

[That first part has him staring. He kinda wants to ask, but kinda doesn't. He'll just live in blissful ignorance. But the next part... That has him staring more.]

...Wait. Wait, wait, wait. ...You... Like him, too?

[ninthserenade]

[He shrugs, picking a spec of lint from the couch.]

Sure, I mean... He's fun to hang out with and whatnot.

[But then there's something else he can't really describe--There was something about a curse, right? Maybe that's what was making him 'feel' so weird? He'd figure that out later.]

[beforemoonfall]

...This is so confusing.

[He knows he's like Lea for awhile. But what about Demyx?]

...I dunno what to do.

[ninthserenade]

Just follow your heart, I guess.

[A pause.]

But since we're confessing things, uh...

[beforemoonfall]

...

[Okay. This might not be good.]

Okay. Go on.

[ninthserenade]

...I... sort of uh... Kissed someone about two months ago.

[And more, but he's keeping quiet about that.]

[beforemoonfall]

...And? That was before we were together, wasn't it?

[ninthserenade]

Kinda. You and me didn't really hook up until a week or two later.

[Lifting a hand to rub his throat where that mass cluster of hickies were for a week or two.]

[beforemoonfall]

Then... It doesn't really matter, does it? It's before we got together.

[Of course, he doesn't know who it was.]

[ninthserenade]

It's also when my neck got all... Y'know.

[beforemoonfall]

...Kinda figured.

[Awkward conversation is awkward.]

[ninthserenade]

You're not mad or anything?

[beforemoonfall]

...Why would I be? It was before we got together.

[ninthserenade]

'Cause you said you hated him or something.
