Dawn finally realized that Parents' Weekend was Friday, and it was now Wednesday. Oops.

Luke, sitting behind a chair instead of on it like a normal person, took one look at her and felt his heart twist.

"Jude?"

"Home," she said, very softly. "T-toronto. Mom. Sick. And."

She shrugged. There were more words, somewhere. She didn't have them.

tatooine_doofus October 18 2007, 01:31:21 UTC

"Hug?" Luke offered, standing up.

Rikku nodded and her voice didn't work and she nearly barreled into Luke and she was shaking and. And. Stupid crying and stupid everything and stupid people leaving you and stupid getting snot on people's shirts and stupid her.

Luke wrapped his arms around her and whispered soothing ridiculousness into her ear.

"It's not the same, but I'm not going anywhere," he promised.

the_merriest October 18 2007, 01:48:35 UTC

"M-m-means a lot," she gulped, shaking her head quickly. "N-next person who goes I'm ... I'm gonna hunt down and ... and drag back by their hair and ..."

tatooine_doofus October 18 2007, 01:56:14 UTC

"I know," Luke said, rocking her. "Hurts like hell, doesn't it?"

the_merriest October 18 2007, 02:01:58 UTC

She nodded, still just trying to breathe and, "Should get easier. Never does. And. And it's not like he's d-d-d-" she couldn't say that, couldn't, "Yunie lost Tidus a-a-and, and, you know? And. It's. It shouldn't ..."

"But it does," Luke said, "and saying that it doesn't just makes it worse. You should've seen me trying to hold it together last year when I arrived. August...kind of sucked beyond the telling of it...and I ended up letting loose all over Rory, who I barely knew at the time." He gave her a squeeze. "You know us. Let it out."

the_merriest October 18 2007, 07:46:54 UTC

Rikku rested her forehead against Luke's shoulder, shaking for a long moment. "I ... I really thought that ... that we ... I know that's stupid, I just ... and Bayla, and Toronto, and I th-thought ... I can't do this, I can't."

tatooine_doofus October 19 2007, 00:35:20 UTC

"You have to," Luke said softly, holding on tight.

the_merriest October 19 2007, 03:48:19 UTC

"Don't want to," she said quietly.

tatooine_doofus October 19 2007, 05:03:20 UTC

"You know it doesn't work that way," he whispered.
