a downside to everything

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[Hey, look who it is, hanging out in a common room in his 'family' hallyway. He got sick of laying in bed, so now he's propped up on a sofa, his left arm still heavily wrapped in bandages, as well as part of his chest. There's some crafting materials scattered about because he was trying to do a bit of work on presents, but he had to stop when what's left of his arm started to hurt.]

... ugh... dammmit...

...it's still her choice.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

But don't you want her choice to be you?

*wink wink nudge nudge*

[seasides]

I haven't... talked to her much, outside of the events back in our world.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Then you shouldn't waste this good opportunity!

[seasides]

I've got things I need to do that are more important than that.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*wrinkles his nose*

You can draw and talk to Riku-pi at the same time. It'll be like old times.

[seasides]

[that... was probably the wrong thing to say, as he's gone very quiet now.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he would flail if he was able to, since he noticed that*

I didn't mean it in a bad way!

[seasides]

It's okay, Ri.

[but that's still a pretty sad smile.]

"Old times" just isn't a good thing.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Why not? I mean... I know it wasn't a good situation. But you two were both doing what you could to fix things and make them right.

[seasides]

I was the one who made them wrong in the first place.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You were forced to.

[seasides]

I could've said no.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

They would've forced you to do it somehow.

[seasides]

[just shakes his head.]

There's only so much they could've done.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

It's no use thinking it over and over, Nami. It's in the past, and what happened happened. But things worked out in the end.

[seasides]

I know.

[smiles faintly.]

But it doesn't change the fact that I was never "happy" before I merged with Kai.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I wasn't very happy in Castle Oblivion either.

[seasides]

[he looks ashamed for a moment, remembering the Replica in his own world.]

I know.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

See? There's no use in thinking about it. All you can do is live right now and not live back then.

[seasides]

Maybe you shouldn't have brought up "old times" then.

[but that small smile says he's teasing.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he still gets the 'I wanna flail' look on his face anyway*

I didn't know you'd get emo about it.

[seasides]

I've got a heart at the moment, even if it's borrowed, and it wasn't a happy time at all. Of course I'd get a little upset.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*now he looks like a kicked puppy*

I didn't mean to upset you.

[seasides]

I know you didn't, Ri. You're a good person.
