Bedroom chatter

“Only because you kick them off” He tucked the pillow under his head and yawned, getting comfortable beside Seifer again, he would stretch his leg out and hook it with the others. “Move the arm” He pushed his arm and settled under it.  Demanding when he wanted attention…

[milessomnia]

     “You are such a fucking cat...” Demanding attention when he wanted. Making it damn well known when he didn’t want attention. Trying to sleep was more like a wrestling match the way Leon liked to twist himself around the ex-Knight.

      “’M not trying to impersonate anyone,” he mumbled in a small frown. “I guess.. I was just thinking about the GF’s. I know you don’t like them. But like… It’s gotta be lonely, right? Being held in some gizmo for junctioning. only to sit there in stasis until finally summoned. And then what? You just become unsummoned and go right back to wherever you were.” His frown only drooped a bit more the more he talked. “It’s gotta be like, waking up every fifty years for five minutes before going right back to sleep for another hundred years! And we can’t do anything because the more we use them the more we forget, but if we don’t use them then they’re just going to sleep forever and ever and that’s just not a great way to live and, and—!”

     “Zell, you’re rambling again.” Hyne, he really had been deep inside his own head. Those were some heavy thoughts. And yes, the brawler was completely correct about Seifer not liking the Guardians. So what if they’d come up with ways of helping to keep their memories around? Didn’t change the fact that some other being stuck around inside your head. So little was known about them. Memories were only one for sure thing they knew of that they messed with. There could be tons of undiscovered other effects that just hadn’t come around.

     “If you’re so damn curious about it just ask. You’re close with the Brothers right?”

[milessomnia]

"Seifer...you're a pillow hog" He mumbled a bit and rolled over to tug at one of the pillows

    “Mn….” He’d just barely heard Leon. Stuck in that area of in between sleep and awake. Cracking open one eye he shoved a pillow into the brunette’s face. “Says the person who steals the blankets and wraps himself in a cocoon at night…”

[milessomnia]

      The voice brought the brawler out of his thoughts. Lifting his head he looked over at Seifer. “Huh..?”

     “You’re quiet. Which from experience has never been a good sign. So what’s got you lost in your head? Because trying to impersonate Leonhart really isn’t for you.”

[ahmyhotdog]

      “……”

[milessomnia]

    Silence. This wasn’t normal. In fact it was concerning. A quiet Zell could mean trouble. “Zell?”

[milessomnia]

A portal in the sky appears and Naiko falls right out of it. Lands in a tree. “Long time no see Seifer.”

     “What the...? Where the hell did you just come from?”

     “A hole. Don’t know why but those weirdo moogles have been digging them everywhere.”

[milessomnia]

ooc:  I realized I’ve been gone for a couple months. Sorry about that. Life crumbled on me like a jenga tower. I’ve only just started getting my pieces stacked again to a point that I feel like I can be back here comfortably. I’m looking forward to rping with all of you again.

A not so soft landing...

His entire body tensed at the grip as he was shaken, his eyes meeting Seifers once more and feeling his touch like this told him Seifer was real. THIS was real but how…?

“You-” He choked out before taking a breath in through his his nose then forcing the air out his mouth, if he couldn’t calm down the dark haze around his vision was going to get worse and he was going to pass out. Finally he seemed to have managed to catch a bit of a breath, thanks to the other but he still looked panicked. “This is real…you’re real”

     “Of course I’m fucking real. Hyne, what the hell have you been doing to end up this freaked out?” Something had to have happened. Things just didn’t to Squall like that. At least, they didn’t to the Squall he knew.

[milessomnia]

The brawler yawned before grabbing the tail end of Seifer's coat and giving it a only a small tug. "Seeiii," he said surprisingly rather quiet and dull from behind.

     It was almost like a child pulling at the back of his coat. He raised a brow when he looked back at the brawler. “What Zell?”

grieverspride:

“that’s not fucking possible…this isn’t right. This is some messed up dream it has to be…” He shook his head as he started to feel sick, “This can’t be. You died, they died, Rinoa she…then everything”

Hands shook and he was struggling to keep his breaths regulated, he was panicking and the attack hitting him hard. How the hell had this happened, two years he’d been missing and yet he’d been in Radiant for five. This world was supposed to be destroyed and everyone he knew was dead, they all should have been. Rinoas magic had led this world into the darkness.

     Okay, this was definitely not normal. Seifer moved to the side of Squall’s bed. He put his hand on the brunette’s shoulder and gave him a sharp and quick shake. “Hey! Look at me.”      In all his years of knowing Squall, of growing up with him. Never had he seen this kind of reaction before.      “Calm down. Just breathe slowly. In through your nose out through your mouth.”

grieverspride:

His entire body tensed up in a way that wasn’t like Squall,  he actually looked like he was close to ripping the IVs out and bolting from the hospital bed at the mention of the others. “Answer me, where am I and how long has it been since the war ended” He breathed out, knuckles white as he gripped the sheets still just staring at Seifer. The monitor was displaying the increase in his heart rate, he was panicking.

Even the threat wasn’t fazing him, he didn’t take the bait or try to snap back. Rather he had managed to force himself to sit up despite the wave of pain it caused him. “Please, just answer the question…”  He needed to know if this was some messed up nightmare or twisted joke, this couldn’t be real

     His eyes narrowed on the other. This...This wasn’t like him at all. What was going on? “Take it easy or you’re going to rip out the IVs. Hyne, they’d probably blame it on me.”      Seifer gave a huff. Deciding to humor him and answer the questions. “We’re near Dollet. I found you out on Hawkwind Plains in a wreck. It’s been over three years now. Two of which you’ve been fucking missing. Any other questions you should already know the answer to?”

The moment he registered someone else was in the room Leon felt like he was still dreaming and that the drugs in his system were messing with him, his eyes had widened as he stared at Seifer for a long time. The stormy greys were locked with Seifers blues and filled with confusion, he looked utterly lost as if he was staring at a ghost. The rumble of Seifers voice made him snap out of his state and lips parted yet nothing came from him at first.

“…what?” He breathed out finally, trying to sit himself up but ached to much to do so and let out a soft string of curses before he stopped trying to sit up. “Where am I?” This had to be some messed up nightmare, Seifer wasn’t supposed to be here and his world was supposd to be destroyed but why did this feel like he remembered. Those eyes holding him into place and that voice breaking through his wall,

     “Think it’d be pretty obvious where you are Leonhart.” Seifer moved away from the bed and leaned back against a wall. “Your little crew should be getting here any minute. Soon as they show up I’m out of here.”

     He didn’t want to deal with any questions or accusations. Didn’t mean he wasn’t  angry at Squall. The number reasons becoming more than he could count on one hand. But what did it matter? He was supposed to be leaving. Soon Squall would be Garden’s problem. And he...He wouldn’t have to deal with it anymore.

     “You’re lucky I found you already beat up. Otherwise I’d have kicked the shit out of you and then let the others have their turn.”

@milessomnia

His memory was hazy…How had he gotten here? Leons body ached in so many ways, from the pounding in his head to the bruises that were supposed to be his ribs, maybe he had something fractured or cracked but he didn’t know. He just hurt…he felt like crap and the sound of machines confused him.  Slowly he opened his eyes to find himself staring up at a dimly lit ceiling, a beeping of a machine to his right was monitoring his vitals. He slowly realized he was in some sort of hospital. “….where?” He breathed slowly and tried to shift to get comfortable, the IV in his arm tugged making him settle back down. “ah…” he turned his head trying to see where this was, it was to high tech to be Radiant Garden. “….where am I…” 

[milessomnia]

    He’d finally just given up. But it seemed life was never going to let him have his peace. He’d been gone, what? A day? Maybe two. He’d just been concentrating on getting out. Finding somewhere he could be without the pointing fingers and whispers behind his back. The ex-Knight had stayed as long as he could. Brought back to B-Garden because it was “safe”.

A load of bullshit.

    There wasn’t anywhere that was secure. Not for him. The war had labeled the blond and now he had to live with it. The people had their heroes. They needed their villain as well.

     Fate and destiny were something he preferred to make for himself. But for some reason they just weren’t going to give up on trying to push him where they wanted. And the mess he’d stumbled upon was plenty evidence of that. Now, here he was standing towards the back of a sterilized room. Hyne, he hated places like this. But his options had been few after pulling the brunette out of the wreck he’d found him in.

     Surprise had punched him in the gut when he found the man. Squall Leonhart. The hero that had disappeared. He’d been gone about two years. Just up and left without a word. Nothing to trace him. 

     What the hell were the powers that be thinking dropping him into Seifer’s lap? The one person who might have understood him despite what he’d been put through at his hands had just abandoned him. If it wasn’t for his rival he’d never been dragged back to Garden. And after he’d left, so had his authority. Seifer had pretty much become free game.Sure Selphie and Irvine had done their best. Even Zell had tried showing some interest. It just wasn’t enough.

     He let out a heavy breath and glanced over at the brunette. The sound of machines ringing in his ears. Word was going to get out and spread like wild fire. Any minute now he expected the welcoming committee to come bursting through the doors. Pushing off the wall he took a few steps towards him until he was standing at the edge of the bed. Sure Squall had changed some. Longer hair, and he was a bit more built than he used to be. But there were somethings that were undeniably recognizable. The scar, and when he opened his eyes....Seifer saw those stormy greys.

     The blond froze. He couldn’t just slip out from where he was. He’d gotten too close. Fuck. Good job Almasy.

     He listened to the confusion in the others voice and answered him, “Looks like the princess is awake.” He crossed his arms and would cant his head to one side, “You’ve got a shit ton of explaining to do later Leonhart. Better prepare yourself.”

[milessomnia]

ooc:  So I’ve decided in order to help me get this blog going again that  I’m going to do some redesign and shuffling. Basically a make over. So I apologize for the messy blog over the next few days.

[milessomnia]

Appears before Seifer and embraces him after jumping to enough height to wrap her around his neck. "I missed you Seifer... Sorry that I disappeared suddenly,"Naiko said before burying her face in his shoulder.

     “S’all good Naiko.” He smiled and caught her, wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her frame against his. “I ended up wandering off for a bit myself.”

[milessomnia]

There sitting on his doorstep was a simple looking box. It was plan looking, but with a large button on top. When pressed "It's a Small World" would start to play for a few seconds before the lid popping open and confetti exploding out.

     “….They’re dead.” Seifer didn’t know for sure who was dead. But they were. He just had to find them.
