[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.

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.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Thanks for telling me.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"I didn't want it to be a thing between us . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Believe me, I appreciate that!

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David tightens his grip on Kazuki's hand. "I know you think I'm a mess, and I pretty much agree with you. But—I'm going to work on it. I don't always want to be the depressed, screwed up one . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Correction: I think you're a Hot Mess.

Anyway, well, your attitude about it is why I respect you!

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David looks . . . confused.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Change is hard.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"Yes . . ."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

While we're at it, even if it's not today, is there anything else you wanna say? Since I think I've said everything on my side that there is to say.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David blinks. "I—I don't think so? What do you mean?"

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Anything that you think would be a thing!

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"A thing . . .?"

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[shrugs]

A thing: Something which is might be better to say sooner rather than later.

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David blinks at him, then colors a little. "Hah . . . um."

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

If you can't think of anything, then that's even better!

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

"We can leave it at that," David hedges.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Sure.

[does this mean I can snuggle up to you now]

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David flops over onto Kazuki's lap. That's probably a yes.

Re: [possible tw]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[...looks... kind of perturbed...]

I've gone this far...

Re: [possible tw]

[arsgoetia]

David makes a questioning noise, looking up at him ??
