clouds in my coffee.

you walked into the party like you were walking on a yacht. your hat strategically dipped below one eye, your scarf, it was APRICOT . You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner ( x2 ), and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you. You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't You?

he stopped twirling the cigarette, though he didn’t look away from it. he blinked once, twice, then twirled the small cylinder once again. “there’s no fun in murder or accidents. though i guess that might have to be the way to go. i can’t actually kill myself and if i set myself on fire, i would be considered psychotic, probably. i don’t want to spend the rest of my life in an insane asylum — so, i guess the best way to go is to make it look as an accident, no? because if i make it look like a murder attempt, they would be trying to find the person who did it and, frankly, auradon’s authorities should be worrying about other things in this shit show of a country,” he mused aloud. then, at her question, he fell silent for what was probably a few moments too long. “… nothing’s up. i’m just thinking. we have our coma pact, so it only makes sense that i start plotting my actual death, no?” he finally said, then shrugged. he paused for another moment before deciding a subject change might be in order: “what were you so smiley about a moment ago?”

mal lifted a hand to point at the cigarette. “are you going to smoke or is this metaphorical?” after spending so much time with draco, she’d taken his thoughts of suicide for granted. they were hypothetical. sometimes, it was just a dark humour. sometimes, you just needed to say stuff like that aloud. she knew the feeling. but also, with draco, she knew that if something was bothering him, he’d do anything and everything but admit it.

still, she hoped it was nothing. “you’d only be considered psychotic if you survive. so, new idea: i’ll kill you,” she shrugged. “shouldn’t be too hard. i can make it painless. quick. and before you say something like ‘i’ll get caught’...the monster thing was a one-off.” she lifted her chin, defiant. “i thought the purpose of the coma pact was so that we wouldn’t die. we’re not alive but we’re not dead. if you go, i go.” she set down her phone once and for all. “we’ve figured out we have some things to live for. like...the musical,” she added with a hum. when he changed the topic, she made a mental to find a way back to the old one later.

“stupid things. blaze.” she felt jittery again just saying his name between her and draco. “i’m thinking of telling him. that i like him, i’m telling him that,” she said in a matter-of-fact voice. she sounded surer than she felt. “one day.”

leaving the small-talk alone, miki concentrated solely on the heart of the matter, the more interesting topic, for a lack of a better word. it was daunting and completely unexpected, but at least she was having this conversation on neutral territory and not in their home dimension.

“yeah, azula.” she paused for a moment, lightly biting her tongue. “i turned seventeen in january.”

they were doing nothing but standing on the grass in front of the admin building now, but katzu could hardly notice anything happening around them. he was still staring at the theatre. 

“...i turn twenty-two in a month’s time,” he murmured. “i remember azula so well, i was old enough to remember her face. ozai’s face. i saw them leave, and -- my father knew about you.” which would mean that he lied. did his mother know? did the avatar? a million questions ran through his head, no closer to getting any answers for them. katzu looked at her fully now, his eyes narrowing curiously before his expression slackened in resignation. “...i don’t know what to do. i don’t know what to say. but when they said your name in there --” he inhaled and exhaled, “i felt something.”

“not much, probably. calls, texts, maybe music.” it would be easier to have her dance music on a portable device, after all.

miki stared straight ahead, not sure if she really wanted to hear the answer, even though it was her question in the first place. “my mother told me about you. i think you were a couple of years old when she was sent to the isle, so…”

he nodded again. “you’ll find one that suits you,” was his last word about it. small-talk was exhausting.

“yes. i remember your mother. my aunt...” katzu’s nose twitched, “...azula.” saying her name made everything seem more real, more concrete, and the reality of his cousin’s existence felt heavier by the second. he looked at her again, as if surprised to find her all over again. “how...how old are you?”

[xxomalley]

facrytalcs:

“i guess i’ll save up for a phone, at least.” she’d barely been in auradon for two days and she’d already seen about fifty students with their heads buried in their phones. she didn’t have many friends ( or any, really ), but she supposed it would make life easier.

had katzu guessed who she was just from her surname? she had expected a bit more surprise, considering what her mother had told her. she looked towards the theatre when it was pointed out to her. “did… your father tell you about me?”

“phones get complicated, but even a simple one will do. depending on what you’ll use it for.” he paused. “i’m sure you’ll figure it out.” he thought about offering to help her with that, but there was no use in making promises if this conversation didn’t end well.

katzu stared at the theatre as he thought of how to answer. he looked to miki once, his brow crinkling, before looking back at the theatre. “no. and i wonder why you knew about me, but i didn’t know about you. until now.”
