what's that ruckus coming through tonight?

[he's on the floor, curled up within himself and shivering a little, but remaining eerily silent. Oh, and be wary of the knife he has in his hands. Anyone seeing his eyes will notice a dead look to them]

I think this calls for a celebration.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[looks up at him kind of expressionless]

[thesplendorsof.livejournal.com]

Oh my, oh my. Someone didn't break you, did they?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head a little]

[thesplendorsof.livejournal.com]

Good. That leaves one more for me.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

...and what will you do?

[slavetothewheel.livejournal.com]

[thinks: Oh not another one on the floor. On the same night?]

[stands over him, peers down] ....Roxas? You alright? [He doesn't look good. What's with the knife?]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[and you'll hear him saying something that sounds suspiciously like "momma"]

[slavetothewheel.livejournal.com]

[kneals down next to him] What? Are you alright? Sit up or something.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

...I dreamt about her again. And I killed her. Slashed her throat with this

[his fingers clutch around the knife handle harder, but he doesn't move much more than that]

[slavetothewheel.livejournal.com]

...Who, Roxas?

Answer me.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

Momma.

[13th.livejournal.com]

Miserable.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[just watches him]

[13th.livejournal.com]

Miserable, codependent, useless.

[reaches Oathkeeper down to tilt the other's chin up.]

Let me ease your stress.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[eyes narrow]

I don't need anyone but the other me. I don't want anyone but him.

[13th.livejournal.com]

Useless, useless, useless ragdoll.

[jabs the tip of the blade at his throat enough to break the skin, but not enough to lodge it.]

I didn't give you a choice.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[bats at that key jabbed into his throat]

I don't honestly give a fuck. I'm tired of this place and I want my medication. And since I can't get that, the next best thing will do.

If I want to kill someone, I'll do it MYSELF.

[slavetothewheel.livejournal.com]

*glances over* Pretty much, yeah...

But I can't just leave him like that, y'know?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[spots the other and veers on over, dropping on his knees and getting a better look at his face]

What's wrong?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

I had a bad dream again. About momma

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[frowns, hesitating before touching his hair, having seen people do that]

I'm sorry. Do you...want to talk about that?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[instantly grabs onto him, still shivering]

Not... not really.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[pets his hair gently, feeling a bit awkward about it]

Then I won't ask about it again.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, it's okay. It's fine when you're here.
