because I'm in a terrible mood and it's about time this secret came out

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[At least with the usual truth gas you have the option of avoiding a subject. We can't have that, can we? Today, riders of one particular train may find themselves with their darkest secrets written on their sleeve, literally. Or some other article of clothing.

Larxene doesn't realize it yet, but "I let Marluxia go" is emblazoned on her back for all to see as she and Akane exit the train in one of the main areas.]


((of course, it's referring to the kid spell a year and a half ago.))

[he starts to look pretty tired himself and wants to follow Akane ;; he just sighs and shakes his head]

And I'm upset because I don't want anyone else to suffer because of Marluxia, and I don't want you to suffer for making a huge mistake. Because you didn't know, but Ri isn't going to see it that way if he finds out, so you just... can't let him see you until this goes away at least.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I know. I know.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[knits his brows and rubs at his shoulder because he suddenly feels very stressed out]

I'm trying to help everybody. I just want everybody to be happy.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that.

[goes over to pick up Akane]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[laughs a little and shakes his head, whispering 'no shit' to himself]

Does Ri want to join in? /is the most terrible

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

... Thanks. For understanding.

that really would be terrible for Sora... you could PM and ask

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[he just sort of waves his hand nonchalantly and offers a docile expression. one day he's going to snap, isn't he]

so it would be okay with you?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[That would be terrifying. Which means it should happen.]

Akane, say bye to Sora.

;~; I guess sooo

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[he smiles and waves bye-bye to her, giving her a little headpat]

Bye-bye, Akane. Will you tell Mister Tibbles hi?

sorry so late ;;

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[look who's waiting at this particular train stop, flipping through a home improvement magazine]

Re: sorry so late ;;

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[shit shit shit shit shit

okay, calm down Larx, you have Akane with you, things will be fine.

She had her back to him for long enough before noticing his presence that he could have read it, though...]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[his eyes widen as the train comes to a stop, and he thinks quickly, shuffling Larx around a little without a word so that her back is against the back of the cab, and stands to block the glowing words. he was going to get off, but now he's trying to act casual]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[Daddy hasn't noticed a thing, because he's busy reading up on how to build a swing set, though he looks up when he catches the scent of his Sora and the ozone that indicates Larxene]

Huh. Busy train today?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

["Thanks," she mutters to Sora. Larxene doesn't say anything to Ri, of course; he probably wasn't talking to her anyway.]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a little bit! Where are you headed, Ri?

[just smiles, trying not to look too conspicuous standing so close to Larx]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[he knows that Sora and Larxene are somewhat friendly to each other, so he doesn't put up much of a fuss]

Just to the playroom. Need to get measurements to see what can fit. You two planning a playdate for Akane and Rikka and Kira?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Aww, look at Akane smile. "Like Wikka 'n Kiwa!"]

I don't know...

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora's smile is warm too, and he reaches down to pat Akane on the head]

They would like that, huh? Maybe they can hang out in the new playroom.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

It's good to socialize kids when they're young, so they don't get all weird and introverted. That's what the parenting books say.

[... maybe an indoor sandbox if a swingset won't fit?]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[it would be so easy to make a comment about Rikka here but she's not suicidal]

Books can't tell you everything.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[wise choice, Larx. wise choice.]

It's good for them to have friends. Especially in a place like this.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Right. So, playdate? Maybe I'll be able to build the new addition by then.

[... maybe a small ball pit?]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I'm really not sure about- augh!

[Akane's managed to wiggle out of mommy's grip and is starting to toddle away. Now how does she manage this without showing Ri her back...]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[blinks at that and looks at Larx]

... want me to get her?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

I've got her. Here, Akane. You shouldn't wander on the train. You could get hurt.

[he tucks the magazine under his arm and scoops up the toddler with the other]
