hey lithyyyyyy (and anyone else who wants to bother her, of course- she left her door open)

[It's been one of those days.

Akane's taking this whole "terrible twos" thing seriously, for starters, even though her birthday was only a few days ago; screaming tantrums complete with throwing toys at mommy and setting things on fire are the best way to start the day off, aren't they?

Then she tried to visit the simulation room (to see if she could cook up something that would calm kiddo down, since of course she can't do anything she really wants to with Akane present) and it had switched places with the ball pit.

Then there were the Heartless in the closet.

To top it all off, she feels a bit like a cold's coming on.

And now she's just trying to read, dammit, and Tybalt keeps getting in between her and the book.]

[ugh, now she's imagining the sort of scenario she just mentioned. She can remember all too clearly, Red holding her down and choking her until she blacked out and she was so sure she was going to die-

Sorry, Tybalt, you're going to have to move because Larxene is trying to pull Axel up. She needs to It looks like he needs to be held for a bit.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Sorry Tybalt. He half-turns to curl an arm around her, nuzzling his face in against her neck and hugging her quietly.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[The offended cat slinks off silently.]

Don't let it break you.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[weak little laugh]

Sh-shoulda told me that 17 years ago.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[hearing that hurts, more than she expected it to, and she holds him a little tighter, rubbing his back over the scars.]

Like you'd have listened.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[tries to swallow back the lump in his throat]

Mm, probably not, I used to be stubborn.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[for a minute she says nothing]

At least you have me now.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[okay, that gets a genuine little laugh out of him]

You gonna be stubborn for me now?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

When am I anything but?

[kisses his nose]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Mm... [Goes back to resting against her, cheek on her shoulder, taking a deep breath and letting it out slow, a small tremor in his exhale.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[resumes rubbing his back]

Wanna know the weirdest nightmare I've had?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Hm? [looks at her curiously]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I was pregnant again, right? Nightmare material all on its own, seriously.

[Actually, it's kind of funny now, when she's fully awake.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Right...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I don't remember that clearly but it was a lesser Nobody or something. A monster.

[Forget funny, the thought of it's squicking her out a little now. It doesn't help that she was scared that would actually happen back when she had Akane.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

... [makes a face]

That's... Disturbing.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

More than disturbing. Ugh, I feel sick thinking about it.

[She should have gone for "weirdest that wasn't scary" instead. Now that's some surreal stuff.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

I can imagine...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I think it had tentacles.

[twists a spike of his hair around her fingers]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

... [Is that a faint flush in his cheeks? Well, he'd been trying to think of his own weird dreams, something he could share with her, but the weirdest ones were not sharing material. And then she had to go and say that.]

That's. Especially awkward.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[In her case, it was about as far from sexy as it gets.]

And why's thaaaaat?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Because tentacles?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Trust me, this wasn't that kind of tentacle dream.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Of course not, just... [meh, trailing off, shrugging. No need to drag out that subject.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You're into that, huh?

[There are possibilities for abusing the simulation room here.]
