So I'm your boyfriend, but you don't want to be friends anymore?

...shut up.

[freakxalthaea-blog]

Do you know what my shirt is made of? Boyfriend material.

1-2 - Are you serious? That was lame as hell. I don’t even wanna be FRIENDS with you.You are my boyfriend, you idiot.

[cirque-daily]

Use a pickup line on me and I’ll rate it out of 1-10!

1-2 - Are you serious? That was lame as hell. I don’t even wanna be FRIENDS with you. 3-4 - You got that online somewhere, didn’t you? It’s alright but you did not make that up yourself. Even if you did, it’s cheesy. 5-6 - Wow, nice one. Props to you, I guess. I don’t know if I’m interested yet, though. 7-8 - Pfft! That was amazing! I love that! You surely are a charmer with words. 9 - Oh my…. that is so incredible!!! I’m so upset I didn’t think of that!!!!! I love you! 10 - …………….marry me

Paige quickly moved to Somi’s side when she saw her stumble to the chair. She couldn’t deny the fact that she was drunk, but this was her boss. What could she do or say at this point. The best course of action was to try an ignore it.  Maybe she was just having a bad night or maybe it was in celebration.  It did look like the performance tonight was going great,  at least from what she could tell.  She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the question about her experience.

“Yes, I’ve been doing this for a while. I started to train when I was very young in dance and gymnastics and than it took a life of it’s own. I’ve been doing circus performances since I was 19.  I tried a year of college but that didn’t take.  My head was never in the books but always in the sky, you know.  So how did I exactly catch your attention? I have to admit that I was shocked that I would get your attention.  I was always the sideshow.  No one seemed to interested in me, at least that’s what people told me.”

“You were.. promising?” Somi responded, relaxing into the chair a bit. Her head was still very cloudy and she felt herself tiring. However, she forced herself to keep her eyes open as she decided on what to say to Paige next. “I saw a performance you did while looking for things for the circus a few cities over. You weren’t treated well by the people you were working for and you looked unhappy, despite how well you had done. You needed somewhere that you could really be yourself. I felt that may be here. I hope I am right..”

Somi leaned forward a bit, looking down at her hands. “Reopening this place wasn’t a business venture as much as it was to give people with special abilities a place to be happy and safe.”

A Little Rebellion - Althaea & Alexia

[freakxalexia-blog]

Alexia squeezed the other woman’s hand back, smiling slightly at her. It wasn’t her intention to cause issues for the circus but at the same time, she couldn’t change who she was. That was someone who was impulsive, wouldn’t stand by while bullies run riot and would fight first and ask questions later. However, she couldn’t just come out and say it just yet so all she did was nod.

“I can’t read it either… I was looking at the pictures,” she admitted with a grin. “I will trust you to order for us.”

She noticed the other moving closer as people moved and in reaction, she moved as well so they were almost but not quite pressed up against each other. It wasn’t often that someone willingly came near her other than for sex, so this was a pleasant surprise. Alexia had no intention of discouraging her. It helped that Somi was very attractive and was what Alexia liked in another woman.

[freakxalthaea-blog]

Somi nodded at Alexia as the other said she would trust her. “Do you like spicy, sweet, or savory better?” She asked seriously, trying to decide what best to order for Alexia. “I prefer spicy.”

She didn’t realise that she was basically leaning on Alexia, but the other’s presence made her feel a lot more comfortable for some reason. Somi wasn’t usually the type to look for physical affection. Most of the time she went out of her way to avoid it, but with Alexia it just felt natural.

Somi-hunting had quickly become one of his pastimes, and once he was finished cooking lunch that day he went looking for her. A cold snap had come in, and he bundled himself up first before going out. It took him some time but he finally found her, far from where he’d expected, curled up tightly against the sputtering generator. “Somi!” he called, pulling his coat off and wrapping it around her immediately. Her skin was worrying pale and her lips blue.

He picked her up carefully, intent on carrying her back and getting her warm again. “Can you hear me?” he murmured as he cradled her gently.

Somi barely noticed when he called her name or placed the coat over him but she groaned as she was lifted and she immediately curled towards the warmth. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up before her eyes closed again. “Ryu..” She whispered, unable to be any louder.  “Bed.. no clothes.. human warmth..” She was so cold that her body was no longer shivering, which was dangerous. “Need to warm up.. I’m sorry..” She switched languages without realising it. She pressed her face into his neck, and the warmth of it almost hurt.

Flashback

“Big sister!” The small voice of a young girl called out to her. A face she somehow knew but could not fully remember.

“Bomi!” She could hear her own voice call it. She wasn’t in control of herself, it was like she was looking through the lens while someone else was in control. Another version of her. One that smiled too much. Her hands reached out and picked up the girl who only looked about 5 or 6. She felt the smile on her face as she held the girl, but she saw her torn sleeves and dirty hands. She herself was probably only 11 or 12. Is that what her hands looked like so small? She didn’t like not feeling in control of her own body.

“Big sister, did you find dinner?” She could feel her own smile falter at the young girl’s question. She had a stale loaf of bread, and only enough to feed the young girl.

“Yes, little one. I have something.” She held out the piece of bread and the young girl took it and took a bite before holding it to her. She shook her head and smiled. “I already ate.” Her stomach silently grumbled in response to her lie, but she couldn’t let the girl starve on accord of her own stomach. She put the girl down and she happily munched on the bread even though Somi knew that it couldn’t taste all that good. And suddenly, the happiness changed.

The young girl dropped the bread and started to cough. She placed her hand over her mouth and continued. “Bomi?” She moved up to young girl, kneeling with eyes wide in fright. The girl pulled her hand away from her face, blood on her sleeve.

“My stomach hurts…” The small girl whimpered. She watched as Bomi’s skin started to turn ashen.

She looked down at the bread, eyes widening as she saw the green tint on the inside. Someone had poisoned it and placed it somewhere to be found by people who lived on the street. And she had given it to someone she loved. “Bomi!” She yelled out, as the girl fell over into her arms, coughing and bleeding from the mouth. Somi’s consciousness stared through her own foreign eyes, horrified as the scene played out.

Without another word, she felt warmth surge through the foreign body that she was in. She could feel Bomi’s cells quiver as her own power was being used. This body, it was hers from so long ago. But why was she using her power for something she could not hope to heal? She could only heal physical ailments and poison was entirely chemical. She tried to cry out to herself to stop, but her body would not listen.

“BOMI!” She cried out, intensifying her power. After a few minutes, she felt her body weakening. All sounds around her started to slowly mute and her vision started to darken. In the distance, she saw someone running towards her. Hyori. But that did not stop her from using her abilities. The girl went limp in her arms, the poison taking its course. Somi let out a scream, now one with the foreign body that was also her own. Everything went black and she felt her body hit the ground just after the thud of a small body hitting the ground before her. She heard the faint voice of a woman and then…. Nothing.

Somi had been carrying fabrics to the costume tent, intent on finally rearranging things so that everything could easily be found. After last night’s performances, too many people had come to her complaining that they had to settle for a different costume because theirs had vanished. She was intent on putting everything where it was supposed to go as well as labeling each area for each member so they couldn’t go wrong. It had been a foolproof plan, at least, that was until she felt the tingling and warmth in her head. She had only enough time to gasp before her own vision went blank and the flashbacks started.

She fell to the ground with a hard thud, her body violently seizing and her eyes rolled back into her own head. The violent movements of her body were not felt by her, as she was in her own head, but the fabrics around her posed a danger to her as she had fallen in such a way they had twisted around her body. For a healer, having seizures that could come on at any time was frightening – because there was nothing she could do.

A Little Rebellion - Althaea & Alexia

[freakxalexia-blog]

Feeling the hand of the smaller woman on hers, she scowled at the other man but not before sending a shock through him that could easily have been mistaken as a very strong static shock. Listening to Somi speak, she did not once take her glare off the other man. At his parting words, she could feel her lightning tingle in her hands but she clenched them shut, knowing to do anything else would be worse for them in the long run. “And you’re a filthy cock sucker!” She couldn’t help but snarl at his retreating form.

Alexia looked down at Somi, not sorry in the least that she stood up to the bully but worried she may be angry with her for it. It was a new feeling for her because she never once worried about what other people felt or thought at her actions. She supposed it was due to the fact this woman could actually make her leave if she so desired. The thought of leaving left a sour taste in her mouth, which again, surprised Alexia considering she was a pro at moving from place to place.

“He will get what he deserves,” she promised the other woman. “Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. Probably not even in the next month. But he will and I will enjoy it.”

She tugged at her hand gently and sat down, waiting for her to do the same thing and looked through the menu like nothing had even happened. Sure, people were staring at them and now whispering about what just transpired but at least she didn’t hear insults. She may not have known Somi very long but it would be over her dead, unsparking body that anyone would ever insult her in Alexia’s presence again.

“I’m not sorry,” she murmured at her, peeking over the menu. “But I cannot let some cretin like that get away with being a bully. I will… try not to cause any more scenes in town in the future.”

[freakxalthaea-blog]

Somi sighed at Alexia but couldn’t help but smile at the other, appreciative of the other protecting her. It wasn’t something that she was really used to, but it was a feeling she felt she could get used to. “I don’t... want you to be sorry. I just don’t want to cause any issues with the circus,” She responded softly, but she squeezed the other’s hand as a silent thanks.

pulling up her own menu. She looked at it, frowned and then put it down. “I can’t read japanese, but I know what is good...?” She offered, scooting a bit closer to Alexia as people passed by their table. She wasn’t really comfortable around all of the people, but Alexia made her feel just a bit better. Maybe it was the other’s attitude of not caring, or how tough she was... Either way, Somi didn’t plan on going very far from her side for the rest of the time they were in town.

“OH! You’re the ringmaster. I’m Paige Shim, Evergreen. I’m your new aerialist. And now the master of vanishing glass,” she laughs at her own joke.  “It’s so nice to meet you. I figured I wouldn’t see you until the morning.” Watching where Somi had pointed at the broom she rushed over to grab it.

“It’s okay, I should have been here like an hour ago but I got lost.  It’s no one’s fault really, but I forgot in Japan that the street signs can be difficult. It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”  She quickly swept up the glass and searched for a trash can.  “I think its going to be safe for you,” finally throwing it all the way. “I had some time to walk around and check out some of the show and it’s amazing. Simply stunning, I’m glad I get to be apart of it.  But seriously do you need anything?” It still wasn’t lost on her that the room smelled like alcohol.

Somi gave a small smile that didn’t reach her eyes to the other’s joke. Somi wasn’t well known for showing emotion, but she did try on occasion. And at the moment, she was trying to hide just how intoxicated she really was.  She bowed and mumbled a thanks as the other quickly moved to sweep the glass away from Somi’s bare feet so she could safely walk through.

“Ahh, I am glad you like it here. I was hesitant to send out an invitation, that’s not how we generally do things but you caught my eye. You have been in this line of work for awhile, right?” She asked, stumbling over to sit in the chair so she didn’t fall over and make a fool of herself. “I am good, thank you for saving me from the shards of glass. I would have been stuck there for awhile if you hadn’t come around,” She nodded.

It had been a particularly cold set of days in the circus, and living in canvas tents made it nearly miserable. Because of this, Somi had made the long walk to town with Emrys and had purchased extra blankets – and a few extra coats for those who hadn’t shown up with much. She was placing an extra blanket on each bed and offering out the coats to those she saw with none or just a thin one. It was hard work, but Somi took it up without complaint – it was her job to take care of everyone there, after all.

However, she was not paying very much attention to her own body temperature. She didn’t notice the bumps on her skin or the shivering shown in her hands. She didn’t notice her lips turning purple. Out of everyone she was taking care of, she wasn’t the best at taking care of herself. When she was done handing things out, she caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror and blinked, wishing that fires could safely be allowed on the circus grounds. “I gave away the last jacket too…” She muttered. She was too cold to go look for Alexia or Zelos, and far too cold to walk all the way back to the living quarters. 

Somi decided to just wait it out, pulling the thin over-sized sweater closer around her before moving to find a place that was warmer than the rest. Finally, she found the small generator inside of the performance medical tent and sat down next to it, shivering as she tried to absorb any warmth coming off of it. Her eyes were closed as she attempted to conserve her warmth, so she didn’t notice someone entering the tent.

He wrapped his arms around her automatically as she hugged him, pressing a light kiss to the top of her head. “I’m not sure yet. They’re still in the hospital now,” he murmured. “I hate asking, but I want to go down to Tokyo to see him myself,” he told her as she looked up. “If it won’t cause too much trouble here, at least.”

“Mmmhmm, you should definitely go,” She nodded, slowly pulling away. Her eyes slowly moved up to his face, not really wanting him to leave but understanding why he had to. “Just, don’t go alone? Take.. Take Alexia with you please?” She felt more certain he would come home if he had someone else with him.

He drank weakly, the pill still feeling dry as he swallowed it. She had called herself Somi, but he could see the halo around her head as he looked up at her blearily. Maybe she really was Angel… But then why leave him on his own in Tokyo, only to appear again here?

He curled into himself slightly, turning onto his side as his shaking slowly diminished, and soon he was still again. Would he be sent away again, or worse, returned to a cage?

Somi continued to gently run her fingers through his hair while looking around for someone, anyone, to help her lift this guy to get him back to the medical tent. She had a feeling that she would need to keep him there for awhile while they weaned him off. She knew what an addiction felt like, so she felt kinship towards this one. While she didn’t have the self control to kick hers, she could potentially help him kick his.

“Hey, how are you feeling?” She murmured down to him, brushing his hair to the side and placing the back of her hand against his forehead to feel for a temperature. She wanted to make sure he wasn’t having a negative reaction to the medication.
