Antonio had just sat upon the beach moments before the rain had decided to pour down and saturate everything. In a way he was glad he chose against grabbing a ice cream like he had wanted it would’ve gotten destroyed. So instead of leaving his spot to stay looking out at the waves as they came in.

He didn’t rise to his feet until he saw Lukas, he looked he wasn’t enjoying himself anyone now that he was drenched. “Bizzare weather huh?” He ran a hand through his hair to push back some strands.

Ah, Antonio - the man who’d bought him coffee that one somewhat awkward time. It’d been a long time since Lukas had seen him and he couldn’t decide whether he was relieved that he’d run into somebody that he already knew or if he was positively mortified. He neither wanted nor needed somebody he knew to see him in this kind of a state - sloppily dripping globs of rainwater from his entire person.

Trying to brush back some of his own soaked hair, Lukas did his best to remain nonchalant but in all honesty, he was ready to simultaneously punch the sky for drenching him and also crawl into a pit of shame, never to emerge again. 

“...You could say that.”

“Do you want to do something together? To take your mind off of it?”

Shit, was he that easy to read? 

“Oh, hey,” Abel huffed,lightly, looking up to the other, “didn’t see you there…” He’d been too caught up in his own thoughts to properly be vigilant about his surroundings. His eyes had been blankly staring at the textbook before him, so he was rather thankful the other had woken him from his stupor. He rose to his feet, “I guess, did you have anything in mind?”

“…” Abel simply was silent for a brief moment, thinking about what he really wanted right now, and in all honesty, he would kill for something to drink. 

“Coffee?” Abel proposed, shoulders raising a slight bit in question, as he waited for the other to answer. Of course, Abel had forgotten his usual cup of coffee that morning, so was extremely irritable and groggy. He was trying his best to appear in a good mood, though, but the settled frown on his brow said otherwise. 

The thought of coffee made him perk up considerably, as it almost always did. There was something about coffee that made him happy, right down to the very core of his being, although he wasn’t quite sure what exactly that something was. It certainly was a special something, whatever it was, as it was possibly the only thing that could drag him out to bed in the morning.

“Yes!” He nodded, perhaps a tad to enthusiastically, very quickly retreating back into his usual facade of blank with just a tinge of embarrassment.

As summer began to fade away and the comfort of autumn seeped into the air, Lukas had believed he’d happened upon the perfect time to walk to the beach. In such mild weather, there was sure to be scarcely a single person sprawled across the sand, licking ice cream as it dripped down their tanned arms. Unfortunately, Lukas had severely underestimated the pure spontaneity of New Zealand weather and about five minutes after he’d arrived the skies decided it was the perfect moment to vomit endless amounts of gushing rain. And so, much like the only other time he’d been caught in the rain, Lukas was absolutely saturated.

Chills ran throughout his body, his fingers feeling near paralyzed as they lethargically shifted from their frozen posture. His hostel was not particularly far away from where he was - not near enough to really justify catching an uber - but it was also just too far to not be an arduous ordeal.

His contemplations were quickly brought to a shattering halt as the sound of another person talking in his general direction popped up out of seemingly nowhere.

It was incredibly rare for Lukas to ever initiate social interaction with another person, but even he could see that something was bothering Abel - and he was willing to make the plunge for a man with an absolutely adorable rabbit. But now he was stumbling, his mind had staggered to an awkward halt as he quickly realized that he’d not quite thought this whole talking thing through properly. Socialization was like an endurance test, and he’d briefly forgotten that talking required more talking afterwards.

“U-Uh...um...no. Do...you?”

Hello! I’m here again and I have wifi ( for a few days at least ahhh )

I’m probably going to drop all the old threads, just because I’ve been away for so long...if you want a thread with me, please like this post!

♙ - Our muses play a game together

Green Shell’d again.

Lukas wasn’t quite sure how he’d managed to get roped into playing a video game with Kristen. Video games had never quite been his jam, technology confusing him far more than it should. He never really got why people played games either - the graphics were always far better outside.

Throwing his controller onto the ground with a dramatic flair, Lukas pulled his legs to his chest and tried his best to pretend that his sulking wasn’t sulking.

“I don’t get this game. It’s stupid.”

[udholdenhed-blog1]

Had Kristen heard Lukas’s thoughts, he most definitely would have laughed and called him a nerd. As if he weren’t one himself. Though he would have had to admit that his roommate had a point. Video games were great, but the outdoors held endless adventures that weren’t vicariously experienced. But Kristen would much rather play fps games than live those out. 

He was definitely down to be proven wrong in this situation; normally, he loved to be right. Magic was truly incredible.

“Wait, really?? Heck yeah!”

[caffeinatedapathy]

It would take a fair amount of effort on Lukas’ part but if it was enough to stop this digital torture - he was willing to put in the elbow grease. He’d never quite done something as ambitious as crafting an entire racecourse before, but then again he’d yet to discover the extent of his abilities. The majority of his experience in regards to his Earth powers largely consisted of communications with the forest, and the occasional slab of dirt protruding from the ground.

“I may have to...talk to a lecturer about how to do it but with enough time I think I could. And it would certainly be...’dope’.”

Any forest was a wonderful place to Kristen. There were so many conversations he could have, but often he found himself overloaded with the voices of the plants, rocks, and other minerals. That was why he was being so talkative– he was trying to drown out the other voices with his own thoughts and words. He quieted down as Lukas spoke, however.

“The forest is never silent, though.” 

His roommate annoying him seemed to be becoming a recurring theme, their personalities clashing far more than Lukas had been hoping for. His dreams of a meek, mild roommate had clearly been dashed, the reality being Kristen whose personality seemed to be synonymous with the word loud. He couldn’t quite see a day where he wouldn’t find the man to be absolutely annoying.

Which was why Lukas was slightly taken aback with the sudden change in tone on Kristen’s part. This was quite possibly the first time he’d heard the man speak in a volume that wasn’t at least one thousand percent irritating. 

“I suppose you’re...you’re not wrong. I think I mean that...it’s a different kind of sound. Not as annoying.”

[petrichorair-blog]

"that's when you started walking on the wild side, right?"

“Yeah that was probably about high school. Started staying out late, not listening to my parents. You know, the usual stuff,” she rambled. “In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t that wild. My parents kind of didn’t want me interacting with ‘outsiders’.” She took a breath and glanced up at the other. “Wait, what were we talking about?”

[caffeinatedapathy]

The whole ‘teenage rebellion’ thing she was talking about was only something that Lukas could semi-identify with. There were times when he would leave the house without telling his parents, often disappearing in the silent hours of the night, but it wasn’t exactly as if he was...doing anything ‘bad’. That would require social interaction and fuck if he was doing that bullshit.

“I don’t...remember. Something about how high school sucks, I think.”

It wasn’t that Mei didn’t notice that the other didn’t seem to want to talk to her. In fact, she was painfully aware of it. Everything about him screamed leave me alone, but Mei was never one to back away from a challenge. And her personal goal for the day? Get to know this quiet student. She was new after all, and she needed all sorts of new friends.

“Yup!” she agreed, cheerful smile on her face. “I was just so excited when I found out we were going to go camping– I’ve never been before! It’s so exciting!”

As much as he enjoyed putting up an apathetic front, Lukas was certainly just as excited as this girl was on the inside. To be away from civilization - even if it were only for a week or two - was glorious. Even though the town they were living in right now wasn’t exactly much of a...city, the forest was still a refreshing break from the late-night hollers of the townsfolk. Here there was nothing but nature and the quick cheep of birds.

“I suppose it is kind of exciting...it’s certainly different.”

Abel was frowning, deeply, a soggy cigarette in between his lips and a doused, now found, lighter in his hand. He couldn’t get it to work, and why? Because the heavens had decided that today was the day a torrential downpour, in which Abel was now caught and suffering in. His hair wasn’t even styled anymore, instead flopping into his eyes and making it incredibly hard for him to see. He looked five, god dammit. 

None the less, he had taken refuge under a very small canopy of tree branches, which nestled themselves kindly along the side of the path he had been trekking down back to his dorm, and he decided to wait out the rain there.Then he was accompanied by another entity, “delightful weather, no?”  

[caffeinatedapathy]

zohardijs:

While Abel was gone, getting the necessities to dry themselves and gain some warmth, a small fluffy bunny popped its head from around the kitchen door, nose twitching as it spotted Lukas. Another quick twitch of the nose, and it was hopping into view and up to the other, cautiously leaning up to see if he was any danger.

Abel returned, murmuring, “don’t be scared, this is Lukas.” He also shook his head in reply to the rabbit, as Miffy had looked back at him, “it’s been raining, that’s why we’re wet.” There was a pause, and then Abel vaguely gestured, muttering, “Lukas, this is Miffy, she wanted me to formally introduce you.”

Being left alone was something he loved, even though being left alone in a stranger’s apartment was a bit uncomfortable - it was far more preferable to struggling to make small talk. Small talk was most certainly the bane of his existence. But it appeared that he wasn’t to be left alone for very long. 

What was objectively the most adorable face in the world popped out from around the corner, trembling whiskers sprouting out from a tiny pink nose. Lukas felt his heart positively melt bit by bit with each little blink the rabbit gave him. 

Almost immediately slipping down onto the ground, beckoning the rabbit towards him, it was a struggle not to grin like a goofy idiot. “She’s...so cute. Fluffy.”

“My favorite part are all the pretty trees!” 

Mei chimed in with a wide grin. It’d been so long since she’d been camping, she could barely contain her excitement. And she just couldn’t get why this young man seemed to despite it so much already! They’d barely even been out for a day, and he already seemed so bothered.

And it appears that the girl didn’t quite understand his subtle “please stop talking to me.” Ah, but she wasn’t exactly the first one. It seemed that every stranger he ever ran into had something to say - some quick quip to butt in with - and it was exhausting to keep up with. 

Lukas was by no means a social creature, he was a man of silence and solitude, his heart throttling his throat each and every time he was forced into some scenario of social interaction. But in this scenario, there was very little he could do to escape.

“...You must love this trip, then. We are literally surrounded by trees.”

[caffeinatedapathy]

Even despite the foreignness of the bush, Lukas still felt completely at home in the lull of the forest. There was a certain shine to the tittering of the leaves, soft birds floating between the trees, leaving behind quick glimpses of their loving songs. There really was only one problem with it.

The camping trip brought people with it, and as if the steady scrunching of dirt beneath their feet wasn’t annoying enough, the person next to him was awfully chatty - something something magical creatures. 

“You know what my favourite part about this forest is? Silence.”

Abel nodded, as they came upon his complex, murmuring, “yeah, of course I do.”

He started to guide the other inside, finally glad that some warmth befell him, “just up these stairs…”

The stifling air of the indoors was a welcoming feeling, far more refreshing than the constant downpour that continued to rattle on outdoors. It rung through the atmosphere like a dissonant cacophony, dampness dripping all about in dregs of despair. It would be an understatement to say that he was pleased to be indoors.

The notion of clean towels was another pleasing statement, lulling him into a sense of security and reassurement as his squelching feet drenched the softening floor beneath him.

“I don’t get this game. It’s stupid.”

[udholdenhed-blog1]

He didn’t really expect Lukas to reciprocate the contact, so he wasn’t very surprised when his arm was shaken off. This was a common theme with his roommate, denying physical touch, no matter the context. Kristen made a mental note of this. It probably wasn’t an effective way to get on his good side if he was so against it.

He rolled with Lukas’s action, folding his arms behind his head and stretching his legs out in front of him. His gaze still lingered on the decidedly sulky face beside him as he closed one eye in what almost seemed to be a wink, but his eye remained closed.

“Well, sure you could. But there aren’t any cars or power-ups. And the courses wouldn’t be nearly as cool as they are in the game.”

[caffeinatedapathy]

Kristen did have a point there. The outside world didn’t exactly hold many power-ups, or at least, not the kind you’d find in this sort of context. But did that really matter? With magic so widespread, so accepted, so...mainstream ( to an extent ), Lukas couldn’t help but feel that the outside world was so much more fascinating than the digital one plodding across the screen. “HD” was no match for the rendering of reality.

Perhaps he could prove Kristen wrong, Lukas had been gifted with powers of Earth after all, surely with a hefty amount of effort he could mold a racecourse complicated enough to blow his roommate’s mind away.

“...I bet I could make a course cooler than the one in the game.”

“You and me both,” Abel retorted, sighing lightly. He’d gladly try to help, but he was horrendous at offering any sort of solution. In all honesty, he’d probably suggest something that would make their situation worse.

He paused, “we’re almost there.”

To make matters all the more worse, his socks had begun to dampen, chilling the tips of his toes with constant shudders. If there was anything he so desperately wanted, it was to be indoors - snuggled next to a blasting heater with freshly crisp clothes that were absolutely not wet at all. It absolutely did not involve having another person suddenly popping in and forcing him to make awkward conversation - but it was worth it for the shelter.

“Good...you have clean towels, right?”
