Left Alone (BoyxBoy Fanasty, Open)

[Solomon the Prophet]

"Sometimes," Ether says.
Ire stops for a moment, then resumes, "As a friend, yes."

"Sometimes," Ether says.
Ire stops for a moment, then resumes, "As a friend, yes."

Laguna looks up at him. He says "Oh no. That's what I'm feeling right now. Why? I don't want to hurt you. Or myself."
Ivan opens his eyes and looks at him. Then closes them again and sighs. "That's what I thought..."

[Solomon the Prophet]

"Well, butterflies mean that you really like someone," Ether says, blushing.
"Were you hoping for more?" ire asks softly.

"Well, butterflies mean that you really like someone," Ether says, blushing.
"Were you hoping for more?" ire asks softly.

Laguna looks at him and blushes. He says "But, are you OK with that? And you might not feel the same. But you're...blushing?"
Ivan is zoning out again bc the massage has begun feel good now. He hears Ire vaguely and jumps. He says "W-what? Oh...Do I even have a...a chance?" Why am I so shaken suddenly? he thinks.

[Solomon the Prophet]

Ether tries to hide his face, "No! Don't say it."

"You have as much of a chance as anyone else does. I guess I just have to warm up a bit more, I don't know, I'm not Ether, I don't love easily. He can try not to fall for people, but he always does." Ire pauses for a moment, "For the moment, you're a friend, you might be more later, but I don't know."

"You have as much of a chance as anyone else does. I guess I just have to warm up a bit more, I don't know, I'm not Ether, I don't love easily. He can try not to fall for people, but he always does." Ire pauses for a moment, "For the moment, you're a friend, you might be more later, but I don't know."

Laguna shifts to wolf again. He sighs and says *See, this is why I do it. Ow, it hurts.*
Ivan has also basically mimicked Ether, for he is trying to hide. He listens to Ire for the time being, as much as he wants to dig himself a hole and hide in it. He keeps steadily silent as Ire speaks, and even as he pauses. Then nods and says "Well, this is embarrassing. I'm so confused by myself." But he feels a spark of happiness.

[Solomon the Prophet]

Ether sighs, "Ivan! Laguna's being a wolf even though it hurts him and he shouldn't be doing it!"
"Tattletale," Ire says out of habit.

[Spiritstar3]

Ether sighs, "Ivan! Laguna's being a wolf even though it hurts him and he shouldn't be doing it!"
"Tattletale," Ire says out of habit.

Laguna rams his ears forward at the sound of the sigh and whines. He jumps back up onto the couch and paws. *But I upset you didn't I? Isn't it just easier to deal with me like this?*
Ivan looks up finally and laughs. He looks startled then laughs again. "Uh...Ire, forgetting something? Ow..."

[Solomon the Prophet]

"Sorry," Ire continues to massage him.
"no, it's not, especially when you're hurting yourself." Ether looks away from him. "I don't like people who hurt themselves."

[Spiritstar3]

"Sorry," Ire continues to massage him.
"no, it's not, especially when you're hurting yourself." Ether looks away from him. "I don't like people who hurt themselves."

Ivan smiles and says "It's OK." He closes his eyes again and purrs.
*I hate myself so much! Im always hurting myself or bring hurt. Why? Why am I so stupid. I'm sorry Ether. Maybe I should just...* He shifts again and stares at the ground with his ears flat.
((At this point, I'm wanting to rant at these two every time I write for one or the other. Even though they aren't real. *Sigh* Laguna...^^''))
