[He messes up his hair a little.]

Good. Hopefully, you never will. Or it won't burn and sear within your mind if it does.

[It's a horizon if they want it to be. It's all Hell magic, right?]

Five. Overthink things? Perish the thought.

[ laughs, leaning into the touch ]

I think it's too late for that. Like, seriously, the number of memories I've gotten back that aren't too clear? Haaaah. I fucked myself up long before the apocalypse could do that for me.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

A small blessing then.

[He keeps petting his hair then!]

Though I hardly consider you in ill repair. You just need a little more sun, sand and waves to flourish. Your carefree demeanor is quite infectious.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

That's you being nice. I think it's more often called "childish and immature".

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

You're mature enough when the desire strikes you. You came here to look after me, did you not?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Not that I'm doing much of anything. Do you need anything though? Like, can I get you whatever?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I find sound to be the most soothing, thus I might have tricked you out here. The waves are calming.

And the company, of course. That way I don't get lost in my own thoughts.

[ winces ]

Uh, was I being too loud? Sorry 'bout that. You probably couldn't hear the water when I was yelling.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

[He shakes his head with a laugh.]

Absolutely not. I was quite enthralled by your joy truth be told. And I am similar to Five in that if I find something truly annoying, I will tell you about it. So do not worry about trying to please me.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Yeah, but... [huff] You're conspiracying. Controversy? ...Convalescing!

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Scheming is the word you are looking for. And yes, each and every moment.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ laughslkfjdg ]

No, I meant like, healing. --Are you scheming? Are you being a scheming mcschemer? Because that's like... Five's thing.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I do not see how any of those words apply to provide aide and succor.

[But he is jesting.]

And now you know how our friendship started. Mutually trying to use each other.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

And now you're getting married.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Strange how it all turned out, isn't it? Surely not the result I expected when I was trying to exploit him for his time traveling abilities.

Do you disapprove?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Why would I? I'd be more disapproving if you were still trying to exploit him, but also what do I know, right? He might find that sexy! He probably does. I mean, that's probably how you guys ended up together anyway.

Besides, I've seen you guys together. You're good for him. He likes you more than he likes us, anyway.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

[He motions for Klaus to sit closer to him.]

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ scoots? over? ]

What's up?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

[He wraps his arms around his shoulders and tucks him close, leaning his head against him.]

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ !!! ...????? LEANS THOUGH '-' ]

Alex?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Five loves you very much. And it would be unfair to compare what we have to what you have. The love is different. Just as I cannot compare the love I have for him and the love I have for Cosmo.

[He kisses the top of his head before returning to the lean against him.]

But he would give anything to save you, to see you happy. Even endure decades of solitude just for the chance to make it right. You all the shining beacon that kept him going.

So while it is hard for him to express it, do not doubt that it is there.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ wrinkles his nose as he talks, but his shoulders are coming up a bit ]

I mean-- Yeah. I know. I know that. I just...

I dunno.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

His words are in juxtaposition to his actions so its hard to tell what is real and what is not?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Nah, I don't let that bother me anymore.

[ too much ]

That's just how he is, I get it. I just don't know how to make things better for him, ever. And I don't think he even wants that? Like... He probably likes it more when I pretend I don't notice anything is wrong.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

That's because he feels guilty being weak in front of you. He's put in his mind that his role is protector and guardian. The eldest.

'Tis not an excuse, but it might help you understand better. I have the same problem with Cosmo. He is by far my elder and will turn every burden back on himself if given the chance. Even to his own detriment. And even though I love him with all my heart, it does bring up barriers between us. Sometimes it is easier to talk to Five than him even though I have know Cosmo for eons.
