kill the turkey.

[he's doubled over himself on the floor with tears streaming down his cheeks; damn if he isn't near screaming in his sobs by now, but he has something clutched to his chest that seems to be the source of this mental breakdown.]

[kneels beside him]

Hey...come on, let me help you. What happened?

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

I- Icarus--

[it's all he can squeeze out of himself before he chokes and sobs more, shakily holding out his hands clasped around each other.]

[motelhq.livejournal.com]

[ it's my fault... he didn't want to go back but he did and now he has to reap what he's sown.

but he's too ashamed to walk over and offer an apology. instead he stands away and looks anywhere else but at Roxas. ]

I'm so sorry...

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

[he's not blaming anyone for this, he just wants his bird-- his friend back ...]

[changingsuns.livejournal.com]

[he holds out his hand for the item.]

What's this?

[motelhq.livejournal.com]

[ feels colder than he ought to, he thinks, and folds his arms to keep warm. ]

M- Maybe... he'll come back...

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

[opens his palms, it's definitely not something the other would want to touch.

a tiny feathered carcass with holes for eyes, beak hung open as if it died screeching for sustenance.]

[changingsuns.livejournal.com]

[he stares at it, then him.]

Who did this?

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

Mason ...

[sets the bird aside, reaching out for the other blond like a needy child.]

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

M-my fault ...

[huffs, trying to get a hold of himself enough to speak.]

M-Mason disappeared-- I didn't even know and I should'a looked but I didn't and I let him die 'cause I didn't know ...

[stiffens, goes over to him quickly... maybe his brush can do something.]

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

[looks up to him with reddened eyes and a tear streaked face. way to look like a god among a child.]

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[hands him a handkerchief, bending down to take the bird from his hands.]

Maybe Rejuvenation will work.

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

[wipes his eyes and face, the bird's body set in front of him.]

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[licks his lips, then quickly draws a few straight lines, seeming to be fog. then--! well, they don't call it a holy brush for nothing.]

[motelhq.livejournal.com]

[ sprint-limps to him and drops to his knees and takes the other into his arms. he's still hurt and he feels light-headed, but he's needed. ]

[canaryfeathers.livejournal.com]

[he's crying all over again, trying to be as careful as possible with his movements as he buries his face against Mason's neck and clutches at him.]

I-I wish I wasn't so stupid, I wish I looked, I don't want to lose you the most ...
