Is it okay if I came over?

yeah man! like i told xigbar, mi casa es su casa

its just me right now so you're all good to come over and come in whenever

Thanks, Demyx.

[almost an hour passes before ven finally knocks at demyx's door. he looks tired and miserable, like he hasn't slept well in days and with the redness around his eyes says he's been having more than just sleeping troubles.

still, he smiles when dem opens the door and gives him a little wave, his other hand holding a small box with a decorative ribbon on top.]

Hey.

Hey, ma--

_{[Whoa.

For a moment, Demyx stares at him and slowly tilts his head. This... Wow. He takes a step back to hold the door open with his hip - an open invitation to come in whenever he's ready.]}

You okay, dude? You kinda look like crap.

Oh, it... I'm fine. Just tired, you know? [damn and here he thought he looked decent enough not to warrant any worried looks. he steps inside, turning to hold the box out for demyx.]

These are for you. I didn't make them this time so I hope that's okay. [a small apology for springing up on him out of the blue.]

Allergies?

_{[Allergy season blows, but they've got to have some good allergy meds here.

Once he's inside, Demyx lets the door close as he takes the box and thumbs at the ribbon, but he doesn't open it yet. It should be fine for a little bit, right?]}

Or nightmares? 'Cause I've had some super bad ones before that just kinda messed me up for ages. _{[He looks from Ven, to the box, to Ven, and back to the box again.]} Do I gotta put this in the fridge? Or are they okay to keep out?

Edited 2019-04-22 05:47 (UTC)

I guess... nightmares might be more accurate. [but for once he doesn't look too eager to share what is bothering him. in fact he still feels hesitation in coming here at all, bothering demyx with his problems. it wasn't right.

he seems distracted again before demyx asks him another question and he lifts his head.] Oh- it's just cookies so they should be fine if you leave them out.

[ven looks away towards the living room couch, shifting awkwardly.] Could we... lay down together? For a little while?

'Course, man.

_{[He hesitates for a few moments, then slings his free arm across Ven's shoulders and whistles.]}

Hey, guys! Y'wanna stash these in the kitchen?

_{[One, two seconds and a small Dusk drops out of an equally small portal from mid-air. It's completely harmless, and when it reaches up to take the box it even looks like it's... excited? At least that's what all of that wiggling seems like!

LOOK AT THIS BOUNTIFUL PRIZE IT HAS GOTTEN ITS LITTLE HANDS ON! IT'S GOING TO BE THE KING OF ALL DUSKS!]}

Do, uh... y'want me to get any blankets too? Order some take-out?

[dem's closeness seems to help some and he starts to smile, when-]

Uh...

[oh good light are those dusks. seeing one pop out of nowhere and so gleefully too seems to snap ven a little out of his funk. in fact as he watches it wiggle dance away with the box of cookies

ven laughs. more so into his closed hand trying to be a little polite. dusks, floods, chirithies... what else was next?]

Blankets sound good and I'll eat whatever you want to get.

Nuh-uh. You're the guest, so you get to pick.

_{[As reluctant as he is to do it, he leaves Ven's side just long enough to duck into the spare room to grab the biggest, softest blanket off of the bed and drags it back out into the living room to the couch.

And promptly drapes it over Ven's shoulders like a cape as he leads him over to the couch and plops down onto it. Take a seat!]}

But we can worry about grub later. If we get really desperate I got a tub or two of ice cream in the freezer we can pig out on.

Hmm... [suddenly he's covered in a big blanket! ven peeks out from under the fabric, letting demyx drag him over to the couch where he plops down next to him. it's easy for him to instantly curl up against demyx, wrapping himself up like a burrito with the blanket.]

Ice cream sounds pretty good right now too. [too bad he's already starting to cling to dem's side. good luck getting off the couch now.] What flavors do you have?

Mm... I think I got mint chocolate chip and this other one called blue moon? It's pretty fruity to me, but one of the locals bought it for me when I had those cat ears and that tail.

_{[He takes the chance to make himself comfortable, arranging himself in a way that'll let Ven sprawl or curl up against him however much he wants without having to worry about arms or legs falling asleep.

It's a little weird, but it's a good weird. He's not used to being this close to people. Yet.]}

You good?

[ven makes a noise to show that he's listening, eyes already half-lidded and sleepy.]

I'm okay. [if demyx was asking about their current positions, yeah he was doing great. he pushes his face against his chest and hums softly.] Sorry for coming over so suddenly...

_{[He hesitates for a long while and after some thought, throws caution into the wind and lifts a hand to gently rest it on top of Ven's head.

And he gives his hair a ruffle.]}

You don't gotta apologize for things like that, dude. If I was having a rough time, I'd definitely wanna crash with someone. It's... nice being around people when you feel down and out.

[the soft touch seems to relax him, melting a little into demyx with a quiet sigh.]

Thanks, Demyx. I'll make it up to you, okay? [he turns his face to peer up at him with a small smile.] We could try making those brownies you talked about?

_{[Why does that smile do weird things to his chest? It's so

pure.]}

That'd be pretty fun. We'd have to make a stop at the store though, 'cause I dunno if I trust the Dusks on their own in there. Or if they can even use the Chroma and junk I have.

_{[Moons help everyone if they could, though.]}

But only after you're feeling better, got it? If y'wanna yell about it later, I'm all ears.
