The Twenty Second Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: You
When: Day 49, Morning
Where:

The entrance today is a huge, ornate stone archway. A gossamer veil glittering like starlight upon water hangs inside it, fluttering as if caught in a gentle breeze. It's impossible to say what might lie beyond; even if you walk around the other side — and it's perfectly possible to do so — you just see the same thing.

That's fine. It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Can't say I'm a fan.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Haha, me neither. But that's why we're gonna focus on getting you healed and distracted.

Then you can talk through it when you're less unsettled.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

...Okay. Sorry for all the trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Randy... you aren't trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

I'm extremely trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Even if it weren't literally my job to look after you, you wouldn't be trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Goddess, fuck, that's right. I've got you obligated.

Re: REVIVALS 1/2

[awakenerd]

Randy, I swear to Aidios if you start thinking like that I'll bully you relentlessly until you stop.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

I want you to be mine, too rely on me when you're down. That's not tickle. That's being you friend. And we're a lot more than that too. I want you to think of me as someone you can be totally selfish with. Please.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

...Sorry, I was being a dick.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

A little. You're allowed from time to time. No one is at their best when bleeding and stressed out.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Even so, I don't wanna just... I'm sorry.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

[Kissing the top of his head and opening the medical car.]

You're forgiven.

[Said softly and lightly. He wasn't mad to begin with Randy! Just worried.]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

[rean is too good :(

randy tucks his face against his shoulder and whines.]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

It's okay.

[Soft and reassuring, taking him to a medical pod]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

You'll stay til I'm out?

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Yeah. I'll be right here.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Okay. Sorry. Thanks.

[if he's not alone probably the shit clawing at reality can't get him?]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Any time.

Seriously. You only have to want me there and call my name and I'll come for you. Outside of trials.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

If you say it like that I'll want to monopolize you.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Is that so bad?

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

M'lucky to be yours in the first place. I don't wanna overdo it and shoulder someone else out.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

And you worry that you aren't a good guy.

[Sets him in the pod and cups his face, leaning in.]

You and Crow both have claim to me. But I said it before. I want you to act selfish with me. I'll definitely make time for both of you, no matter what. So act spoiled sometimes. Demand my attention when you want it.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

[hm it is probably a bad idea to kiss Rean when he's so fucked in the head but like

also

he's in reach and keeps saying cute things?]
