breaking promises

[seasides]

[it's not very often you can catch Kai in a bad mood, so it may surprise some people entering the kitchen to find just that; he's siting at the table and glowering into his mug of steaming tea. besides being twisted into an angry frown, some of his face looks slightly bruised and swollen- like it had just been recently healed. his posture is stiff, too, like he's trying not to move for fear of pulling something. seems he got into yet another fight.]

[of course the perfect thing to throw at a bad mood is a good mood. hence why Demyx comes walking into the kitchen, humming something soft to himself as he heads for the fridge. he stops abruptly half way there.]

Whoa, what happened to you?

[seasides]

[looks up from his his tea, glaring briefly at Demyx; it's not really directed at him, he just didn't really stop glowering.]

Got into a fight.

[oh please, he's had way worse. just holds his hands up in that 'I come in peace' sort of way, sliding his way to the fridge.]

Okay, who happened to you?

*wanders in, nose buried in a magazine and heading straight for the salty snacks*

[seasides]

[back to glowering at his tea, then, as though that would actually do something.]

Saix.

[seasides]

[glances up briefly at the sound of someone coming in, then hunches over a bit more with a grimace, looking back to his tea.]

[freezes as he goes for the door handle.]

Why would you ever?

[seasides]

Because I promised a friend I'd protect him.

[just sounds tired when he says that.]

[orhighwaters.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[shifts a little, looking uncomfortable and quickly opening the fridge door.]

Well, did you?

[seasides]

I tried to.

[tips the mug slightly before letting it rest back on the table, watching the liquid inside it move.]

*grabs a bag of chips and starts omnoming before he looks up and notices you*

Oh, hey, Kai. How's it hanging?

[orhighwaters.livejournal.com]

Well, you're still breathing.

[leans over to shuffle around in the fridge noisily.]

That's more than most people could say about Saix.

[seasides]

Mn.

[sorry, Ri, that's all the reply you're getting with a question like that.]

[seasides]

Only because he got what he wanted.

[grumble.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*well that's worrying and he pulls up the seat beside you, setting his magazine and chips on the table*

You know, I'm pretty good with translating Riku-gruntisms, but my Kai-gruntisms are kinda rusty.

[there's a bang as he hits his head against the freezer door, and Demyx swears quietly as he pulls himself up straight, rubbing the top of his head.]

Yeah, but if you'd died he would've gotten it anyway.

[seasides]

That's too bad.

[since he doesn't want to explain to Ri. just. staring down at his drink.]

[seasides]

[snorts, taking a sip of his tea.]

Almost did anyway.

[orhighwaters.livejournal.com]

Almost.

[sets to work trying to open a jar of pickles.]

[seasides]

I didn't feel like breaking two promises.

[drinks more tea, making a bit of a face at the flavour. not enough sugar.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he can see you're not being as open as you usually are and goes quiet, since he's not gonna force you to speak if you don't want to; he'll just munch chips and read his magazine*

[seasides]

[remains quiet as well, rubbing at the bridge of his nose with a wince before taking a sip of his tea.]

[orhighwaters.livejournal.com]

[having difficulty over here with the pickles.]

Promises are a big deal to you guys.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*flips a page, munchmunch*

[seasides]

[how can you be having difficulty with pickles.]

They can be.
