[Game 10] Epilogue

[arsgoetia]

That little diversion aside, with no sign of reoccurring, a few hours pass with the group together and Zoey is humming as she gathers materials for the magic circle in the basement.

There's still time before midnight to have whatever moments with everyone else you like before going home, but you can feel in the air that it'll be soon.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David hiccups a little, pressing his face against the side of the couch. "Nnnnh . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

. . . David.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

". . . do you remember, that succubus that worked for my dad?"

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Ye...es? The one you guys were worried about me getting near to?

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"Yeah. There's a reason for that." David's expression is cold.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

. . . what.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"I was trapped in a hospital with her . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[um. UM. Kind of... waiting for David to finish.]

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David doesn't . . . seem to be able to, glancing almost fearfully at Kazuki's expression, fingers curling in his own shirt.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[...runs a hand down his own face, kind of going through a jumble of emotions, but has gone pretty thin-lipped.]

So you're saying she took advantage of you.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"It's not like I could say no . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

That really pisses me off!

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"I-I'm sorry—?" David looks like he wants to meld into the couch.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Not... you, obviously! Or even that... I mean, it just... pisses me of that—

[nooow switching to miserable]

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David curls up heavily on his side, facing away from Kazuki.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[HOW DO YOU EVEN HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. T... thumping his head back against the couch, groaning.]

Tell me exactly what you're so afraid of, then...? Her?

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David presses his face into a pillow and manages a muffled "no."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[guessing now, considering what they've been talking about]

Not me either, right? So it's losing control?

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"I don't really know . . . just thinking about it makes my skin crawl," David says faintly. "I hate . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Hating it's pretty justifiable.

[not saying anything more committal, watching David. Not really CONSIDERING David, but watching for the sake of it.]

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David's shoulders are hunched, posture buckled in over itself, one hand in his hair. The shadows under his eyes look pretty pronounced.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Hey. Do you regret telling me?

[moving closer, reaching out but not touching David, leaving it up to him]

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"Nah," David breathes in and out slowly, reaching out to catch Kazuki's hand lightly.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[holding hands with David, smiling a little and feeling comforted himself]

Good!

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David tilts his head back against the couch, just looking at him, squeezing his hand and smiling a little, faintly.
