six.

[he hasn't slept since the night Riku got him to, and that stress---coupled with the voice's constant, painful jabs, has taken their toll. Stripped down, his nerves and worries close to the surface of his skin, Sora is a timebomb visibly on the edge of exploding or burning out ( Read more... )

I'll hold you to that. Forever, if I have to. I'm not going to lose you like that.

dawnward October 29 2008, 05:03:26 UTC

...lose me like what?

[you gave some of it away, Sora]

dawn_is_coming October 29 2008, 05:05:17 UTC

[Sora swallows visibly]

Your heart. I---I won't let you turn into one of them. I won't.

twilightfell October 29 2008, 05:16:55 UTC

[Ceiling Roxas is watching you, and his expression at this is just priceless.]

One of them.

dawn_is_coming October 29 2008, 11:50:31 UTC

[this is definitely not a conversation Sora wants to have right now]

You aren't one of them. You weren't made like they were, and you're different.

When I say them, I don't mean you. I never have.

twilightfell October 30 2008, 03:11:09 UTC

[With eerie, deadened calm.]

You're right. I am different.

I'm worse.

You better protect him, Sora. Wouldn't want him to become just like me.

[The absolute emptiness coming off him is palpable even over the network. He ignores whatever Sora might have to say after that - just replies to Riku and shuts off his Sphere.]

dawnward October 29 2008, 05:48:09 UTC

[Riku is stunned. there's no other word for it. he stares at Sora and the minutes tick by, strained and silent.

finally:]

I'm not...I wouldn't--

[harshly, shoulders shaking]

That's never going to happen. Never.

twilightfell October 29 2008, 06:31:52 UTC

[sry for spammin', gaiz. Ceiling Roxas is stalking you both now, because hearing that -- however Sora meant it -- broke something in him. He's got a hand over his face and when he speaks it's vicious and broken and terribly, horribly calm.]

Scared, Riku?

dawnward October 29 2008, 13:32:34 UTC

... [when Riku answers it's definitely not in a normal tone of voice]

Wouldn't you be?

Don't I have a right to?

twilightfell October 30 2008, 03:07:45 UTC

Oh, sure. I'd be scared of turning into a monster.

[he lets his hand fall just enough so that it uncovers his eyes - and the darkness and emptiness in them is disturbing. without another word he shuts off the Sphere.]

dawn_is_coming October 29 2008, 11:52:33 UTC

[sighs raggedly]

Good. You promised, so--so you can't go back on it.

No matter what they say.

dawnward October 29 2008, 13:36:09 UTC

I wouldn't do that. [he repeats, body sagging slightly, a slow shudder rippling through him]

I told you that those voices weren't real. All they say are lies.

dawn_is_coming October 30 2008, 00:10:18 UTC

No, it's...[rubs his hands over his eyes. Any remaining energy he'd had is now long since gone]...back home.

dawnward October 30 2008, 05:48:24 UTC

Back home? [Riku is a little confused, and yet in a way...he almost doesn't want to know]

dawn_is_coming October 30 2008, 05:53:14 UTC

[...does he want to get into this conversation right now? No, no he doesn't. He wants to sleep in a warm bed and forget that there's a war being fought in another universe, even though he knows he never can forget]

Never mind.

dawnward October 30 2008, 06:39:32 UTC

[frowns faintly, but let's it go. now isn't the time to be shoving uncomfortable questions on his friend]

Alright. [rubs his back, urging him to relax. huh...it's cold in here. it seems Riku has no shirt on] Try and get some rest. Do you want me to stay?
