Fortieth Hex - [Written/Action]

[When he first opens his eyes, he's immediately blinded by the sunlight and he hisses loudly, rolling over in the dirt to shield his eyes. He doesn't move for a moment, barely bothering to take in what was going on. It was obvious he was back. His clothes were still torn and disgusting from the last draft, and he had a few dried scabs on his arms, but otherwise...he seemed fine.

Sitting up, he gropes around the area for his journal to check the date.

Shit. Just how long was death supposed to last in this place? He supposed it wasn't too entirely unusual, considering how long Arumat was gone when he had been murdered. He adjusts himself on the ground, shifting the way he's sitting and reaching in his pocket for a pen. The writing is scratchy and scrawled, but the words are legible.]


So that's what it's like.

[He doesn't care. He doesn't care to read through everything and find out what he's missed. He's on his feet and carefully walking toward house 25, already knowing that Tsuzuki and Hisoka were waiting for him and most likely could kill him again for being dead for so long.

The thing was, however, was that he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't seem to wrap his mind around what he's lost as a penalty. Maybe he got lucky and they didn't take anything at all. That would be nice, wouldn't it? But it seemed highly unlikely, especially considering the nagging in the back of his mind that something was missing. He'd just have to work it out later.

Hmm...hello house 26. You seem awfully familiar, and not in the way that it was the house some of Draco's friends live in now. He used to spend a lot of time in that house, didn't he?

No. Maybe not. He couldn't imagine why he would...must be mistaken.

It isn't until he's almost at his front door that he takes his journal again, scrawling out a few more words.]


...am I the last one to come back then? Suppose they really do save the best for the end.

I seem to remember a certain partner of mine turning my hand to crisp, too. We forgive and forget, 'Soka.

[He raises a brow.]

Why did he throw a fireball at you, Hisoka?
cynicism: (20; sigh)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it matter why?
idealism: (thinking is hard work.)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. What kind of question is that?
cynicism: (23; step off.)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He kept barging into my space trying to pretend nothing happened. You can't just do</> that.
idealism: (taps chin)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't explain the fireball.

It's Draco. [That totally explains the fireball.]

Wow. What did you say to him?

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't. [SILENT'D.]
idealism: (?)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Does that mean you haven't even asked him about what happened?
cynicism: (Default)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't need to ask him about what happened.
idealism: (well EXCUSE me)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, you do. We need to hear what happened so we can find out why it took so long.
cynicism: (27; ugh)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Then ask him yourself.
idealism: (I speak in hearts.)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I will.

[He takes a deep breath, crossing his arms over his chest.]

I know you were scared that he would leave you. Why aren't you glad you got him back?
cynicism: (Tsuzuki; ugh why do i like you)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't scared!
idealism: (blush)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Mhm.

But I mean, is it really worth it? You have the chance to make him want to stay, so why are you trying to chase him away?
cynicism: (47; Broody McBroodface)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
He left first. He can stay gone.
idealism: (Attention)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't his choice. You know how drafts are.
cynicism: (27; ugh)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Except he was trying to get himself mindwiped before he left. He doesn't want us.
idealism: (Walked over my grave)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-01 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He knows quite well how rejection feels.]

Sometimes that happens. It's not an excuse for treating him badly.
cynicism: (Tsuzuki; ugh why do i like you)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] cynicism 2012-12-01 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not treating him like anything.
idealism: (Modus operandi: guilt)

[Action because <3]

[personal profile] idealism 2012-12-02 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tsuzuki touches Hisoka's head softly, as if trying to offer some kind of comfort that his words can't give.]

This isn't what you want, Hisoka. You don't want to look back on this and realize you pushed your best friend away, just because he was feeling depressed.
cynicism: (51; ...maybe.)

[Action because <3]

[He lets the touching happen because he's been letting a lot of touching happen lately. Why break the streak now?]

I don't bother having regrets. It's a waste of time. [Regrets are for private broody times never to be shared.]
