-- her and then @FatalityInLove.

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- guess I'm just so used to shifting that I forget how anxiety inducing it could and can be for newbies. For all intents and purposes, @HaplessTwist is ::still:: new at this, and still learning.

"You doing okay, #Pais? Better now?" Asking sincerely, a brow perks at --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- the bags that @HaplessTwist had and reach a finger forward to draw one closer. Honestly? There are reasons that I keep denying that I'm the alpha-- one of them being that I didn't really realize how anxious #Paisley was. Nervous or amped up about the full moon, yes. I --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- let his fog clear. Maybe he ::still:: needs it, and just maybe? JUST MAYBE, @HaplessTwist needed him to.

I'm not saying that @MoroseDouble and I are match makers by any means, but I don't think ignoring the glaringly obvious will work.

Clearing my throat, I look to --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- @FatalityInLove unquestioned and let him be, I don't know. But I still direct my attention on him. The first step to recovering is always admitting it, right? If we could just get #Kyoya to admit that ::maybe:: he needed @HaplessTwist's influence to truly ease up and --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

Newcomer, yes. Unaware? Not entirely. Shifting my glance between @HaplessTwist and @FatalityInLove, they fall on @MoroseDouble lastly when he's thanking #Paisley for the candy.

"Sounds like you must have needed it as much as she did, #Kyoya." Maybe we're supposed to leave --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- something tells me that @MoroseDouble and I might have to pry to find out.

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- to the best of our abilities and see what we've made of ourselves at the end. Then again, that's part of the old me talking, too. Brushing a tender kiss to his cheek, I lean back and bring my coffee to my lips as the knob on the door turns. Whatever will be, will be, but --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- the small space that's between us, I squeeze his knee and offer up a wink. "Rirakkusu," I breathe, a word that @MoroseDouble has used on me on more than one occasion. Relax. After all, do we really have any say when it comes to this journey called life? No. We just live it --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- trauma and tragedy, and not something he's always had to deal with. At least, I hope it's nothing something he's always had to battle with. I'd hate to think that @MoroseDouble hasn't ever had one day where he's just been blissfully care free and happy. Reaching over --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- flickering away. Beside me and in a seat of his own, @MoroseDouble is a bundle of nerves and hope; wanting for the best and nervous for the worst. I'm not even sure if he's aware that it's a thing he does, and I've decided that it's something he's picked up in wake of --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- @FatalityInLove and @HaplessTwist. At least, I've never had to, not since they stepped foot into that old phone shop what feels like eons ago. Today makes a mark in the history books for the fact that we're up-up, showered, dressed, the place is picked up, and a candle is --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

Settled in a chair and hunched over the warm steam that comes from my cup of coffee, I'm not ashamed about the way that inhale the strong aroma and let it wake me a bit more, before even taking a drink. It's not often--- no, actually we've never had to wait for --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- caffeine buzz for an hour, but.. that's about it. Just one of those cons about being what we are, and there aren't that many of them.

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- It's nearing evening, I know. But with the full moon and @FatalityInLove and @HaplessTwist still being out, it's not as if we'll be sleeping any time soon. None of us. Beyond that, I'm not sure that coffee has all that extreme of an impact on us. Maybe a little bit of a --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- him. Lips pressing to the top of his head in his hunch over his phone, I slip back to the machine and remove @MoroseDouble's now full cup. I'm quick about setting up another for me, only to busy myself with doing his drink up the way I've learned that he likes best. --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- work. What I do know, is that we'll never know if we don't try. It's sort of the base of the foundation I built for my life, it's everything I ever lived by as I slipped from one place to the next, making each corner of the world my home. Now? I do the same thing with --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- haven't forgotten that @MoroseDouble has plans to reach out to the woman who started all of this mess. I haven't forgotten that he's decided to sneak away one day and message her in hopes of making everything more amicable than it is now. I don't know if it'll --

[Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. @UnwittingKnight]

-- out to them. I never have to wonder who else it might be, because we don't really communicate with many others outside of ourselves. Generally, it's one of the two of them that make his phone ding. There'll be a point in time when it won't just be us three. I --
