Are you alright? Sorry. You were tussling in your sleep. Do…demons sleep?

@freakin-furters

Frank. Sorry, you startled me. I’m not used to having someone else here.

Yeah, just a bad dream. Fairly frequent, I’m sorry. Do you ever have those?

[freakin-furters]

…Sometimes. They’ve become more of a hassle lately.

Didn’t mean to intrude on too much. It’s just you were..uh..

—it seemed intense. You were mumbling a lot. I didn’t make out much, just to be clear.

[orion-xp]

Don’t worry, I’m not embarrassed. Nor do I have anything to hide. I appreciate you looking out for me.

I still don’t really have much of an idea about why you- ended up where you did. I won’t ask, it’s not exactly my business. But if you ever want to talk, I’ve been told I’m a good listener. It’s probably the giant ears, huh?

The fireworks are so pretty tonight. I managed to drag Franklin outside to the park for once.

He doesn’t look very happy. But he doesn’t look sad either, which is an improvement.

[orion-xp]

Why couldn’t you just be nice to me? It was supposed to be a date, and you couldn’t just- tell those people we were together? What’s so bad about being with me?

It’s not my fault you have those fucking- things on your head!

..what? You said I should grow them out, you said you liked them!

Yeah, what was I supposed to say? They make your head look weird? They frame your face badly? They make you look like such a stereotypical-

Stereotypical what?

….

Finish your sentence!

[orion-xp]

Relax, babe, we’re just kissin.

Right. You’re right, I’m sorry.

Don’t apologize. Just come here.

Okay.

…

What?

……

What? Why- why are you looking at me like that?

…

Where are you going? Wait, no, what did I do wrong? Come back, Leo, please.

Don’t touch me. Don’t ever touch me.

[freakin-furters]

I’m gonna… get you to a chair and off of the sand, okay? Can you stand?

@orion-xp

…I don’t…know. I feel a bit heavy.

[orion-xp]

That’s okay, I’ll help you walk. Just slide your arm over here and.. there we go, yeah, like that.

…

You might feel a little heavy because you almost drowned.

[freakin-furters]

Right. I…do remember that part.

…who are you, exactly?

[orion-xp]

My names Noah, I’m an inchoate demon. I saw you walk into the water from the beach over there and thought you were just going for a swim.

I would have gotten here sooner if I realized you weren’t very.. good at swimming.

[freakin-furters]

I—didn’t know people came out here. I’m sorry you had to see that.

I just got so…swept up and I…

…I wasn’t really thinking. I don’t know how much I am, right now even. Everything’s still fuzzy.

[orion-xp]

You don’t have to apologize, it’s okay. I don’t know what your situation is but I would have helped regardless of whether you were thinking or not.

Do you need a drink or something? Saltwater can be really bad for you if you drink too much.

[freakin-furters]

…Something to drink would be nice. You—wouldn’t happen to have a towel, would you? Haha. Sorry.

[orion-xp]

I don’t, no. But I did see somebody left theirs a few chairs over, let me grab that for you.

Here you go. You look cold, do you- have somewhere to stay?

[freakin-furters]

I mean—I do, but—I think my phone’s….kind of out of commission. Water.

…and…I don’t exactly think home is the right place for me to be right now. In this state of mind, anyway. If it wouldn’t bother you too much, it’d be appreciated a lot.

[orion-xp]

Yeah, no problem. It’s just a hotel room though, nothing special. I could use the company.

You wanna talk about it while we walk?

[freakin-furters]

human pregnancy is so wild to me. like, you can just create another consciousness. and you can do it accidentally in the Cheesecake Factory parking lot

[orion-xp]

I LVOE HAZELNUTSS AUUGH

Yes! They’re super good! I used to eat a lot of hazelnut spread on toast. But apparently it’s really unhealthy.

[orion-xp]

What type of chocolate was it?

Milk chocolate, with hazelnuts in it. I got a few different kinds from the store to celebrate Christmas, I think I’ll try some other ones too.

[orion-xp]

I don’t know how I’ve never had chocolate before! It’s really good!

[orion-xp]

Our door’s open—if you’re willing to celebrate with us this year 😋

— 🍒

Really? You’d extend me that kindness? I can’t speak for my knowledge about the usual festivities, but perhaps I could learn.

That sounds lovely.

[cherry-ier]

Okay SWEET‼️‼️‼️Trust me—we’ll make the festivities worth it.

[orion-xp]

Thank you, truly.
