Always eating, never filled.

Hunger doesn't just come from the body, it also comes from the soul. {Independent Famine oc RP blog}

[Famine reached up and held her hand the moment she held onto him. To say he missed her would be just shy of an understatement, in fact he was very bored without her. Work went on as usual of course, he occasionally chatted with War, and there was never much reason to talk with the other sins. He set the last item down and turned a bit so that he could face her with her arms still around him. She seemed tired, but without the appearance of being so.]

Well you certainly had quite a nap that’s for sure. [He reached over and brushed some of her hair away from her face] …I missed you.

[With a sigh, she looks up at him.] Yeah… that’s for sure. 

[Gluttony gave him a small smile, holding onto him as if the moment she let go she would vanish and return to a void of nothingness. To say the least, in her dreamland it was bleak. Not that she’d like to remember nor would she like to return, but she’s going to guess she’s been asleep for a rather lengthy time; just from the way he responds to her.]

[Chuckling, the Sin shakes her head gently.] Not as much as I’ve missed you.

[Gluttony pauses before she opens her mouth to say something again, but instead she votes against it. Her brows furrow slightly at the question that comes into her mind. No. She isn’t about to ask how long she’s been gone and how much she has missed. Instead–] So… um… did you stock your fridge? [First order of business. Food.]

[neverfulfilled]

[He's chuckling now, leaning to press his forehead against hers.] Wanna bet?

[Famine isn't about to push much towards the subject either, it'll come up eventually on its own time. Though he is curious as to how she was able to sleep for as long as she did, but he's not going to bother her with it.]

[He looks back towards the food he just got before she came.] It's getting low, but I haven't gotten groceries just yet, I just got some food to go before you came. If you want you can have some, I'm sure it's been a while since you've eaten, hm?

[Relief washed over her, then a sudden burst of joy. The sound of his voice, the color of his eyes, the soothing and comforting knowledge of his presence; all of it made her heart melt. So she moved toward him, swiftly but carefully. Her feet bare shuffling on the tile floor, her pink champagne dress flowing along with her movements, arms reaching out to hold him. Gluttony instinctively wrapped her arms around his torso, burying her face into his back. She held onto him tightly, smiling into his clothing.]

Sorry I’ve been gone for so long. [Her response was quiet, but loving. By Satan she’s missed him.] It’s good to see you again too….

[She doesn’t remember how long it’s been, all she knows is that she’s been asleep. Suddenly she’s nervous, she’s worried that maybe appearing without warning is a bad idea. But she can’t even remember how long she’s last seen him. She doesn’t even remember what had happened. The Sin is careful with approaching him from behind, having teleported in a whisk of smoke without disturbing him, her feet silently hitting the cold tile floor of his home. Taking a moment, she stares at his back, desperate to wrap her arms around him and never let go. She’s scared. He’ll be upset. He’ll be mad. He’ll have so many questions she wouldn’t be able to answer. Maybe it was a bad idea to come so suddenly…. But she opens her mouth without thinking, nothing coming out despite wanting to cry. Gluttony can’t move, and she knows it’s already too late to turn back. She knows he felt her the second she decided to come here.] 

[Oh Satan. She doesn’t know what to do–]

[neverfulfilled]

[The second she moved to come he knew she was there. It had been just almost a year since he last saw her, no warning or say in what happened before she disappeared. But he knew she was still around, he could always feel her presence even early on from when he met her. Famine had actually just gotten back from getting lunch when she decided to show up, not pausing for a second when he felt her behind him. Instead, he just smiled and turned to look over his shoulder at her.]

It’s good to see you again.

[neverfulfilled]

That’s how it works usually.

You can be positive Wrath, you just have to allow yourself to be. [He arches an eyebrow at the other] Do you even know what to look for if you were to get your own medicine?

Wrath, you’re letting your negative feelings about yourself affect your self esteem which makes you think that you’re not worthy of love and that nobody could love you, when it’s the exact opposite and people do love you and care about you.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

Military’s weird.

[Looks offended] I totally would! I’m not completely hopeless. I’m– I can handle things! Shut up!

[He crosses his arms over his chest, sinking back into the couch] Be quiet. You– Get out’a my head, okay? I’m fine. I’m totally n’ completely fine.

[neverfulfilled]

Always has been.

I’m not calling you hopeless, Wrath. It’s just that you haven’t done it on your own yet that’s all.

[He sat up a bit, seeing that he was getting somewhere with him] Nobody is ever fine, there’s always something wrong. Whether it’s small or big. You’re not fine and if you were your body language would be much different.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

At all? That’s fuckin’ weird.

Positive? I dunno. [He makes a face when he’s caught] I– I can handle sickness myself! I’ve been sick like three times. I’m a pro now. I just… it was sudden, okay? I don’t feel well anymore. I did when I got here. I guess.

[Looks down at his lap] Mmn…

[neverfulfilled]

That’s how it works usually.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

I guess.

Wouldn’t she have said something? She jus’ kind’a vanished without a word, ya know? N’ it was, like, super early… I dunno.

Stop assuming the worst? There aren’t many other options. [He frowns, placing his beer on the table and sighing. He considers explaining himself, but that would go against his plans] Uh, yeah. I should probably go. I’m not feelin’ too hot, n’ I don’ wanna get’cha sick.

[neverfulfilled]

Wrath if she’s enlisted with the military I don’t think she would have had time to tell you, even if she wanted to.

Well, you could try thinking positive for once. [He frowns also, sipping his beer and leaning back against the couch] You’re just making excuses you know, if you weren’t feeling too well and didn’t want to get me sick you wouldn’t have come here at all and you’d be at home with Abby treating you.

Assuming the worst about yourself leads to assuming the worst about everything, and not everything is black and white.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

More talking. Uh, I guess I could try that.

[He sighs] Nah. She’s headed out for her military thing soon. It’s January. I remember her tellin’ me about it back in August. Or was it September? I dunno. It was either one’a those months.

[He shifts, blushing a little] Maybe. I dunno. It’s not like I’ll ever see ‘er again anyway. I’m pretty sure she lost interest. I haven’ seen ‘er in months. If she was still around, I probably would’a seen ‘er at least once. Like at the store or something. [A small frown forms on his face] Unless that’s the point. Maybe she’s avoiding me. Makes sense.

[neverfulfilled]

It’s worth a shot.

[He blinks at that] Military? Well damn that explains it, Wrath I don’t think she stopped seeing you because she doesn’t like you. Have you ever considered that she got called in earlier than her expected date?

You really have to stop assuming the worst about things, especially about yourself. No I know that last part is a work in progress of course, but still. You’re not unloveable, that’s obvious because two other girls practically love you, as well as Abby and your family.

[neverfulfilled]

It’s good that you like what kind of people they are, but it would help a lot to actually get to know them better. It’s not that you’re a shitty friend, you’re just not good at socializing with others.

[Sips his beer] I recommend you hanging out and talking with each of them for a while to get to know them better. It’ll help you a lot, you should never consider a relationship with a person you barely know even if you’ve hung out a lot.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

It probably would. [He makes a frustrated sound when told he’s just bad at socializing–he is, but he thought he would have improved by now. He hasn’t]

Talk. I can talk. Sort of. I think. Yeah, I can totally talk. I jus’ gotta, ya know, figure out what ta say.

Er… You don’ mean like a date, do you? That’s what people do on TV, but I dunno if I can handle that. [He shifts a little, lowering his voice] I still don’ know how I managed those couple’a dates with Allison over the summer. [Pauses, and then he hangs his head] Then again, I also haven’t seen her in months. Maybe I didn’t really “manage” them after all. It makes sense though.

[neverfulfilled]

No I don't mean like a date, it's just hanging out. You know like you usually do but with more talking about each other.

[Oh now Famine sees why he's having trouble with this] I'm sure Allison is still around you know. [Sips his beer] I can see why this is hard for you now, you must still have feelings for Allison, right?

[neverfulfilled]

Anything sudden and different like that would confuse you. [Rubs his chin] So they both know who you are, took it well and still like you. One says they might be falling in love with you and you think you might like both of them.

Hm, well, how do you feel about each of them? Feelings are complicated unfortunately, especially when it comes to romantic feelings.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

[Frowns a little, looking down at his can] Yeah, they do. N’ I dunno what ta do about it. I mean… They’re both pretty cool in their own ways, ya know?

Alice has been really supportive with my bein’ here. She’s also pretty snarky n’ won’ jus’ take whatever I dish out. I admire that a lot. But Valeria doesn’ take my shit either! She’s a li’l more on a shy side, but that’s not a bad thing. N’ I like hangin’ out with Valeria. We prank people together, n’ she shows me interesting shows on Netflix.

Now that I think about it, maybe I don’ know as much about ‘em as I should, do I? Fuck, I’m a shitty friend. I mean, I kind’a knew that already, but fuck.

[neverfulfilled]

[neverfulfilled]

No problem.

[He opened his and took a sip from it, furrowing his brows at what the other said] Really? And you don’t have to worry about gluttony hearing, she’s not home.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

Uh, yeah. [He glances around briefly] I kind’a figured that. That was also hard for me ta say aloud. The idea of it kind’a jus’… confuses me. In a frightening way. But, at the same time, I think I might like her? Like, a lot?

But Valeria said she likes me. I asked Lust for advice, n’ he suggested that I tell Valeria about me. I did, n’ she took it oddly well. It didn’ help. I’m worried that I might like her, too? Maybe?

[Takes another swig] I dunno what ta do. I can’t fuckin’ tell how I feel.

[neverfulfilled]

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

Oh, thanks. [He hands over his coat and tries to relax on the couch]

[When Famine comes back, he accepts the beer with a small “thanks” and opens it up. He lowers his voice] Well, Alice told me she might be falling in love with me. [Takes a swig from his drink]

[neverfulfilled]

No problem.

[He opened his and took a sip from it, furrowing his brows at what the other said] Really? And you don’t have to worry about gluttony hearing, she’s not home.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

[He shuffles in and shrugs off his coat after unzipping it. When Famine mentions that it must be a tough situation, he just groans]

I’m still havin’ trouble with those girls from before. [He sits on the sofa] I have no fuckin’ idea how I feel, but it’s… escalated a li’l bit.

[neverfulfilled]

[He takes the others coat and hangs it up, motioning to the cough for him to sit down]

Oh, I see, one moment. [He goes to the kitchen and grabs two beers before coming back and sitting down in the chair across] Okay, so how did it escalate?

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

Uh, hey. No. I uh, I’m– I’m actually here ta see you. I’ve got a problem, n’ Abby suggested that I come here ta ask you for advice.

Her tarot cards didn’ help one fuckin’ bit.

[neverfulfilled]

[Nods and steps aside so that he can come in] So you need advice that Abby’s cards couldn’t help you with? Must be a tough situation.

What is it you need help with?

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

@neverfulfilled

[He hesitates to knock on the door, but he finally does, waiting for the other to answer and crossing his arms over his chest]

…

[neverfulfilled]

[He just finished washing dishes so he just tosses the rag over his shoulder to go answer the door, surprised to see Wrath there]

Oh hey, are you here to see Gluttony?

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

[He doesn’t say anything until asked about why Alice knows stuff] Well, she already knew ‘bout the Hell thing I guess from her group’a friends or somethin’ like that. She already knew we existed in general. N’ uh, while I was in the hospital, I took a leap of faith n’ told ‘er about me.

She took it surprisingly well and has been incredibly supportive. N’ the weird thing is, even knowing who I was, she still told me she likes me. That’s the weirdest shit right there.

[neverfulfilled]

[He sits and listens as Wrath explains, trying to wrap his mind about why this girl would be completely okay with any of this. For once, in a while, he was actually really confused]

So, you’re telling me that this girl is completely okay with you being a sin? As great as it is that she’s been supportive, that’s also concerning. I mean, considering how we ended up here.

To me, personally, that kind of information would shock a person, even if it’s just a little bit.

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

I see. [He looks down at his coffee before looking over at him again] Well, we’re friends. I mean, I think we are. I visited one of ‘em at her dorm over at the university, n’ we sometimes pull pranks together n’ watch scary movies.

I bump into the other a lot n’… I dunno. At first, I was pretty hostile to ‘er, n’ we argued, but she eventually asked if we could start over n’ be friends. I guess she grew on me a little, n’ we actually started getting along.

The uh, the second also knows a little bit ‘bout what happened in Hell. And about me.

[Presses his lips together in a fine line]

[neverfulfilled]

Hmm, so it seems to me like you get along with the two pretty well. But your hesitation seems to me like there’s something else on your mind about it all as well.

[He sips his coffee again and pauses for a moment] Wait, what do you mean she knows about who you are and what happened? Why does she know that?

[He’s concerned now]

[dontgetmadgetrevenge]

Mhm.

While the other what? [He takes a sip from his own cup, sighing through his nose] Yeah. I guess. I mean, you’re not wrong. I’m really fuckin’ confused…

[neverfulfilled]

Hm?

Oh, the other is probably just more accepting and patient, that’s not to say the other one isn’t as well. [Sips his coffee] You know, I don’t think your frustration is really towards your feelings for them, but rather your feelings about them in general. How would you describe how things were before all of this?
