so please be kind if I'm a mess--

[apologies to anyone who doesn't like the smell of cigarette smoke, but the kitchen's thick with the stuff, now. unable to find his own matches, Demyx resorted to using the burners on the stove to light up. but one smoke turned into two and he ended up chainsmoking his way through quite a few of them, if the collection of spent ends crushed out in the chinaware dish on the table are any indication. something's obviously bothering him, it's written in his posture and expression and the fact he doesn't normally go through seven cigarettes in one sitting...]

That can't be good for you.

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Probably not.

[fulgural.livejournal.com]

So why are you doing it?

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Nerves.

[fulgural.livejournal.com]

Doesn't look like it's helping much.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

What's wrong..?

[bites his lip. for some reason he feels a little responsible, trying not to breathe in the smoke and staying a little ways away from the door.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

I... had to bury someone, again.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

What.. why?

[winces, holding back a cough. he doesn't want to be rude.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Someone got- someone killed a couple of the young kids. I didn't want to jus' leave 'em lying on the floor there. Didn't seem right, so...

[he's struck into silence. sometimes when you're with an older guy, it's easy to forget just how young and vulnerable you really are. it makes him scared, he stares down at his dirty shoelaces and his skinny exposed legs, and he wonders. when is it his turn?]

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[quiet coughing from the edge of the door. he was just going to get some cookies, but that agenda is postponed by the smoke.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Er. Sorry 'bout all this.

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head.]

My mom--[cough.] did that t-t-too. [series of quiet coughs.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Prob'ly coughed like that when she did it, too.

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[swallows hard, rubbing some of his eyes.]

D'you know where the cookies are?

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[this little guy's more distracted by a big him than smoke, staring open-mouthed.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[aaaand now it sets in.]

Cool! You're a big me! Like, really big! I saw a big Marluxia and a big Roxas but I never thought I'd see a big me -- that smells gross.

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Uh- sorry. Didn't realize-

Hey wait, I'm not that old!

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Older than me.

[just walks right on in, looking at his hand.]

Burn yourself?

This is what happens when I actually leave the house for once.

[fleurdemort.livejournal.com]

I guess not all of us can be shut in social recluses~

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

I'm off to college in a few days so... no. D:

[fleurdemort.livejournal.com]

awww~! Good luck! I go back for my second year at the end of the month :3

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Ah... thanks.

It's going to suck so bad for me. But you have fun?

[fleurdemort.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.
