[opens a door]

[pauses a moment, blinks and steps through.]

[looks around - Looks like he's in the DR again.]

[sighs, breath rattling through newly acquired around-the-head headgear, with three firm metal wires across his face rather than the usual single.]

[He's been back in his universe for about six months now. Time hadn't passed there one bit. It was back to classes, visiting Mom, and the usual dental appointments. He actually had a date, too. Nothing became of that, though...]

Ff.

Juth when I wath getting uthed to being at home...

[Lounging about on one of the many couches of the DR is Larxene. She's probably finished half the library by now. She figured out Athul left a while ago so she's just been keeping a low profile for a month or two. Won't this just be a great surprise when she sees him?]

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[walks out in front of the couch, trying to figure out which section of the DR he's in and if it's anywhere near his room...]

[oh woah. crazy coincidence there.] ...Hey Larthene.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

[...Looks up.]

Well look what the cat dragged in.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I'the been home. Fft. Well, in my univerthe. You know.

...For months. Ff.

How... How are you? Thhsp.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

I see you upgraded while you were there.

[Flips a page of the book to continue reading.] Been good.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[glances away, embarrassed] Y-yeah, I had a lot of damage from remothing it, apparently, thhsp. I gueth the damage tranthitioned from the drething room, too....

I... kind of vanithhed while we were on bad termths, didn't I.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Really? Teeth are more finicky than I thought.

Yeah. Guess you did.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Well, mine are. Fft.

Think we thould... talk about it? Ff.

[has cooled down, since.]

[all of those nights, alone, in his dorm? yeah, he missed having someone around.]

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised?

It was months ago. What do we have to talk about?

[It's not like she's missed him as well. It's just. Well.]

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[still not looking at her]

Well... Where we thtand with eathother, I gueth. Ff.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Mm... So?

[She'll let him start this. Might prove to be kind of entertaining.]

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Eh... uh. Well. Fft.

Kinda thtraightforward here, huh.

Fft. Thouldn't have ethpected any ditherent from you... Heh.

Bathically... What's going on with uth, Larthene?

I need to know what you think of me.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

[Turns page. Reading~]

If I didn't like you I wouldn't be talking civilly with you.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[slowly nods]

...I mithhed you.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

[Pause.]

I missed you too.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[slowly smiles]

Well... I gueth thath thomething, then.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sure.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[smile grows larger, grinning a bit among all that metal]

Seems like I've been gone forever.

You haven't changed much.

[and it dawns on him...] Where's Roxas?

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

It's only been a few months.

Nobodies don't change much, red. Just how we are.

[And then she frowns. Shrugs and turns back to her book.] Haven't seen her since that last time I talked to you.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[smiles at that familiar nickname]

[but it fades slightly as she looks away, after the mention of Roxas]

... [hesitates, but sits down beside her] Oh.

[glances over at her book, really doesn't care about it.]

[eyes turn up to her face] Wow, I'm gone for months and this ith more interethting?

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't mind him sitting down. It's been a while since anything like this has happened though...]

Sure. With all the free time I could have hit the mother load of great books.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Fft, not what I meant, ethactly. [smiles]

[pauses for a moment - thoughts running through his head, would want to kiss her badly now, if it wasn't for these wires. and instead of making this known, he'll just make the wires known.]

...I have a couple wires now. Fft.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Then what did you mean then?

Really now? I didn't notice.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Pfff, nothing, nevermind.

Fft... Yeah. [smiles a bit] Ith from the damage I did... Thuppothedly. I don't think my teeth athually needed thith... I think they just wanted to tetht thith new equipment on me.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Alrighty then.

Well if you think that why don't you just take out the extra wires?

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Ehhh, that'd hurt. Fft.

I'd need a pretty good reason to.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

You had no trouble cutting it out the first time. [Shrugs]

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[pause.]

It's kind of embedded in there now. Ff.

There'd probably be thome bleeding ith I tried now... Thhsp.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Oh. Why would braces ever need to be embedded? That's a little overkill if you ask me.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Ith... a little more complicated than juth brathes.

I think they heard that I wath interethted in leaving the program. Fft. Tho thith ith a way to keep me, I thuppothe.

...It was Thaixth's idea.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

...

It's a dental program not a secret society. Lord.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Athually... Ith kind of both. [laughs]

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

You get yourself mixed up with the worse people. You know that, right?

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[leans a bit closer and smiles under all that metal]

Yeah, I'm aware.

Fft.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Oh good.

[Finally just closes the book and puts it on a coffee table.]

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[watches this casually]

Ff.

Yeah. Great. [grins, flashing some braces with green rubber bands]

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

So... Other than having your mouth remodeled what did you do?

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

Went to clath. Thaw Mom. Revithited World of Warcratht. Ff.

Athually went out, for onthe, too.

But mothtly I did homework.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Mm...

Went out?

[Yes she chose that to focus on. Don't judge her.]

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[augh, he's got a big mouth, apparently.]

Yeah, fft. Thome of my friendths convinthed me to, haha.

I met a girl, though. Dated her for a few weekths, but it didn't go anywhere.

Thhsp.

[looks up at her]

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Ah. What was she like?

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[sighs]

A little boring. Ff. Biology major. Too many cats. Thhsp. Juth getting over a breakup, I think, thince thee didn't thtop talking about the guy.

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

Lame!

You were just a rebound guy.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

Yeah, I know... Oh well. Thee wathn't muth anyway. [smiles at her, head tilted just a bit]

[sparkylove-xii.livejournal.com]

I'd expect as much. Sounds like she was the dumpee and not the dumper.

[gofitmemorithed.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Definitely.

[long pause]

...I don't like how we left things, Larxene.
