Sora tries to fix his relationship with Ienzo, take 2.

[schemingly]

[Sometimes, looking back, he wondered why he had stopped them from properly murdering Sora that time.

He remembered being tired of revenge ploys, and from trying to feel hatred so hard.

But that was still not an excuse.

He had no sympathy for that man, none at all. Or so he liked to think.

He liked to think that it happened because he was disgusted by the idea of Sora managing to worm his way into his heart again. Or whatever was left of it.

But he really wasn't.


Still, it was all pointless thoughts that would change nothing. Sora was fortunately too busy trying to fix whatever was left of himself and whatever was left of the man who was not quite Xehanort.

And Ienzo was too busy trying to fix all the damaged people around him. At least they could be fixed.

So he was fine.

Right?]



[OOC: SO, it's the first time they meet since Ienzo stopped everyone from murdering Sora? I'LL BE USING ALL MY ZEXION/IENZOS ACCOUNTSES. COME AT ME, TSU XD]

[And this is Ienzo. Staring.]

[skyfallingdown]

[Rubs his back, that hurt...

--Ienzo.

He can't help it but to put a bit of distance between them, still sitting on the floor. It was involuntary, something out of instinct. Just.... looks at him, in silence.]

[bookofretribution]

[If he can move, then he's fine.

Or something.]

Did you hurt yourself with the fall? It would be a waste to go and die after I went trough the effort of keeping you alive.

[He's being an asshole. Sorry xD]

[skyfallingdown]

I...

I'm fine...

[He has fallen from higher places. Someone must want him alive.]

[bookofretribution]

Good, then.

You'd do well in being more careful.

[skyfallingdown]

I'll... try.

[It saddened him to think his reactions were still "GET AWAY FROM HIM".

Hadn't he changed...? He... he wasn't that Sora anymore.]

[bookofretribution]

[It's ok, Zexion worked really really hard to make sure Sora's reaction would be exactly that? XD]

What are you even doing, working at this ungodly hour?

[skyfallingdown]

I'm fixing the roofs [Points at the roof he was sitting on minutes ago. He has learned that answering things is the best way to avoid conflicts.]

[bookofretribution]

At three in the morning.

[skyfallingdown]

I thought you all were asleep.

[bookofretribution]

Well, I certainly was.

[skyfallingdown]

....I'm sorry. I-- didn't mean to wake you up. You must be tired.

[Don't panic, Sora. Just... stand up. Yes, that's it.]

I'll be more careful now.


[Meaning he'll still repair the roofs. Just quietly xD]

[bookofretribution]

Just come and work at normal times. There is no point in being sneaky, when it's clear who is doing the work.

[Isn't that behavior kind of nostalgic, Sora? He's being an ass like in the good old times when he wasn't being your pet heartless or mindfucking you xD]

[skyfallingdown]

Ah... it's easier to work during night time.

[You know. When you all aren't here looking at me.

...feels his heart shrink when he remembers all those times in Radiant Garden. How he talked to him and asked hi for help when he was studying. How he taught him the language of the Islands. How he dragged him for hot chocolate in winter...]

[bookofretribution]

Do whatever you want, then. But keep your eyes and ears open, not everyone wants to just have a chat and complain a little.

[Now remember when you ruined his life, slept with his heartless and when he made you remember that Kairi should hate you and that your mom is forever alone.

Is it awkward yet? XD]

[skyfallingdown]

[Awkward doesn't cover even half of it. Looks down. He's... he's doing this to help, isn't he? He's doing a good thing... isn't he...?]

...y-yes. Sorry.

[bookofretribution]

How long have you been working today?

[He... Truly dislikes this not-Sora thing Sora has become. Yet, at the same time, there is a little voice in his head going "HE DESERVES IT HE DESERVES IT HE DESERVES IT HE DESERVES IT" so... xD]

[skyfallingdown]

Just a couple of hours. I kinda overslept.

[...why is Ienzo still talking to him...?]

[bookofretribution]

[That's a good question.

MAYBE HE HAS ULTERIOR MOTIVES.

As usual.]

Hm... I see. You can keep on, then.

[skyfallingdown]

[Nods... turn to the ladder so he can go up again...

...


.....


........

Turns to see him, with a very, VERY hopeful small smile...]

...Good night, Ienzo.

I smell we can do the second meeting below... xD

[bookofretribution]

Good night. Don't fall down again.

[And he's turning to leave xD]
