coffee rings and fading colors

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Am I doing something wrong?

[He's not a very happy camper today, but he wasn't upset either. Just a little confused as to why a few of his friends Riku. were avoiding him a bit. Or maybe it was just Rikus in general, who knows. Maybe he was offensive without meaning to, but he barely said anything that could be considered harsh.]

I don't get it...

[Siiiiiighs. He'll just take another sip from the coffee mug he held between bandaged fingers, blowing on it and giving a bleh from the hot liquid threatening to burn his tongue. What a night, what a night.]

[Well this one's not avoiding him. He's actually coming in for some of the leftover cake that's in the kitchen.]

Don't get what?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[ He spots a Riku :o ]

Hmm?

[Curious orbs glanced up.]

U-Ugh, nothing. Must be my imagination or I'm thinking too much.

[Laughs. He likes cake.]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Thinking too much, entirely possible.

[There's the cake, and now he's getting out a plate for it.]

The question is, what are you thinking about?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Let him drown his worries in a slice, would you? He'll give Riku a hopeful smile. Just a silent plea to have one too.]

Thinking about two friends of mine. One thinks he's bothering me and that he's afraid he'll hurt me if we're around eachother too much, but I could care less. He's still my friend....and the other is, well he holds a lot in and I can tell he's lying to me. I guess they're avoiding me now, haven't seen them for a while.

[Laughs softly.]

Silly, right?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[He did make the cake, so he doesn't mind sharing. Just hands him a plate with a slice already on it.]

That's not silly. It's definitely something that requires a lot of thought.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[Usually people just called him a worrywart. Wrinkling his nose, he looked at the slice-taking it quickly with the biggest smile on.]

Thanks!

[Om noms it.]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles at that. Hungry Sora is hungry, hmm?]

It's normal to worry about thing like that from time to time. Though if you can do something to fix the problem, that's better than just dwelling on it.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Yes, hungry Sora is hungry more like starving. He had a sweet tooth too so this was a good day or night-he couldn't tell.]

I'm trying to, just can't find them to talk it out.

[Sighs.]

It's alright I guess, I'll find them eventually...Right?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Of course. Have you already checked their rooms and places they tend to hang out?

[Cuts himself a slice of cake as well, now searching for a mug to pour some coffee into.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

To your left, top shelf.

[He put on a small smile.]

Last time I went to one of their rooms...it didn't end well, I think they might get made if I check on them their again.
I met one of them at the beach and we talked but-that didn't end well either.

[ :( ]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[Ah, there we go. Coffee now.]

Well, you can't just keep this up forever. One of you will have to resolve things, though which of you... well, I can't say. I don't really know who's involved enough to offer a lot of advice.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[He'd rather not give out names...since they had the same name so it wouldn't really help much.]

It's okay, I appreciate even just the slightest bit of advice.

[Siips coffee.]

So do you always get cake cravings around this time?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Anytime you need it, feel free to ask.

[Mm, that is some delicious cake.]

Not always. But I figured I wouldn't let the rest of my birthday cake go to waste.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[euogb--]

I-Is it today, was it yesterday?

[Should've made Riku some birthday coffee or something!]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

Don't get what?

[She appears by the doorway, peering in to notice Sora. She doesn't see the bandages...which is probably good. She would worry about her friends getting hurt.]

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Yesterday. It was actually really nice, I just had a quiet celebration with Namine. I hope she didn't over-exert herself though.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Happy belated birthday, how old?

[Smiles sheepishly.]

Wait..

[Tilts head.]

What do you mean?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Twenty-four.

[He looks it too, doesn't he?]

Ah... she's just in a bit of a... delicate condition right now.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Peers up. He recognized that voice, it was soft and he missed it.]

H-Hey Nam.

[Smiles. Pull up a chair, he won't bite. She knows that.]

Nothing, just a little out of it today. Mumbling and what not, how are you?

[At least the small injuries were do to being clumsy instead of being inflicted by someone else.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Wow..You're getting old.

[Laughs. Only a little, Sora wasn't all that great with guessing ages anyway.]

Why, is she hurt?

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Of course she does. She's also glad to know he looks physically okay, although he does look troubled. Sits down next to him.]

I'm fine, just a little tired.

[From being the new guardian of her future six year old daughter.]

You sound frustrated though. You okay?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Wait-when was this?]

Why, you sleeping okay?

[Tilts his head.]

Nah, I'm good. Just a little puzzled that's all. Two of the Riku's have me raising a question mark over my head.

[Chuckles.]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[A few days...maybe a week ago. Apparently when you find lost kids in corners of the main room, there's a chance they might be yours.]

Yeah, more or less. But I've been taking care of a six year old who's apparently my future daughter...which is...energy consuming.

[Looks up at him, offering a smile.]

How so?

[sundowningly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

[And here comes the worried face.]

No, she's... she's pregnant.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Wow. Scary.]

Y-You have a kid?

[eiofgbefb--Big brother senses are tingling.]

But y-you're too young to take care of a child!

[He'll have to help babysit one day.]

Huh?
O-Oh..Well, they're just hiding some things from me and I can tell they're lying and then they both try to keep their distance because I might be in danger if I get too close to them.
