Asch the Bloody ([personal profile] dissonates) wrote2012-09-22 09:17 pm

[Action]

[Since a certain someone's arrival, Asch has been kind of cranky and not particularly social, which has suited him just fine, besides having to endure appearing more pathetically lonely than usual. It's not like he really cares what other people think of him anyway (usually). Apparently there's some kind of party going on today, which makes him want to go out even less, so he's content to stay inside and keep out of the way. Parties? Not his thing.

But apparently some people have other ideas.

Eventually he will escape the party (greatly relieved to be away from it, whether he enjoyed himself at all or not), and will instead hang around outside the building trying to gather what's left of his dignity before he heads home. He just wants an uneventful walk in the dark (because it's always dark for him) and a long night's rest.

And apparently he's not allowed to do that, either.

Only when he makes it home does he finally take steps towards contacting a certain scientist who can get his body back to normal. Four months is long enough to be fumbling around in the dark without his replica nearby.]
explaining: (deep in thought)

[Guy doesn't hug him, not really. Doesn't think he should. Instead, he lowers his head until his chin rests atop of Asch's and screws his eyes shut. The hand on the hilt of his katana clenches it, and his free fist tightens before he opens it to settle it in Asch's hair just above his neck.]

Dunno what we're supposed to do now, but I can't just stop caring. Even if you tell me to.

[Guy can almost guess what's running through Asch's head, but he doesn't know how to say that he's no better off either, pretending not to care. If Asch had managed to tell him to go and mean it, maybe Guy could've kept that up for a few months. But he'd go crawling back, he knows it, because he can't just walk out on- on something like this. On Asch.

They might not ever be like what they were when they were happy, but Guy knows they're never again going to be like what they were when they weren't. He's not going to be like that again, not if he can help himself. Life's too easily taken for it.]
explaining: (hold on now there)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-09-24 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Guy laughs softly, because that's what he does, and lets Asch go easily enough. Sure. He'll deny it too.]

Can I make it for you? As an apology for keeping you out.
explaining: (atmosphere)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-09-24 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry. It's definitely not for that.

[If there's one thing Guy's never done, it's pity Asch the Bloody.]
explaining: (*invisible microphone*)

[Granted, it's probably more efficient to have a home free of knick-knacks to reduce hazards, but Asch's living space lacks so much personality Guy could have assumed Asch had just moved in a night ago.

He watches Star -waves, hey Star- give Asch directions and quirks his brows up. Good idea.]


Excuse me, [Guy says -because it's polite- before finding his way into the kitchen. Getting tea ready is more familiar ground, more comfortable ground, and the sounds of the kettle and water and cups helps break up the uncomfortable silence that's fallen between them.]
explaining: (so much explaining)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-09-27 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
He was being pretty secretive and shifty about it, so I told him it was all right not to say anything about what's happened since I was gone.

[Guy will find out eventually. There's enough people in Luceti who know things to give him a good idea, and even if they don't know he can pry the truth out of Luke eventually.

Guy takes a moment to look at Asch, really look and take him in. The stare is creepy, yeah, but everything else just...]


Your hair's longer than it was.
explaining: (i wish things were different)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-09-27 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, that's right. Guy was always the one to cut it for Asch; Stella did it too, but she's gone. Luke- nope. Not happening. There are very few people Asch would trust to touch his hair, let alone hold two sharp blades near his head.]

I could cut it- [Guy clamps his mouth shut. It's just so automatic to offer.

He turns back to the tea. Shakes leaves into the strainer.]
explaining: (plz repeat that)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-09-27 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
The- my sword? [Guy blinks. So it'd stuck around, even after he'd gone? Weird.] No, I didn't even know he had it. It didn't disappear?
explaining: (A threesome?  Gimme a minute to think.)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-09-27 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's strange.

Well, I'll ask him about it later. [Guy wants it, he really does, but he remembers Luke getting it back for him and him tossing it aside. Luceti- well. It has a way of clarifying things.

The kettle whistles shrilly and Guy plucks it from the burner, filling up the teapot and giving the leaves a minute to steep.]
You still take it the same way?
explaining: (i wish things were different)

[Guy fixes Asch's tea and sets it on the table with an audible clink of cup and saucer. He realizes that he doesn't actually know how to move around someone who's blind, and resolves himself to find out.]

I don't want to keep you up. Should I be going?
explaining: (uh nope)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-10-01 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
...let me guess.

[This is probably a bad idea, but whatever. Asch never did inspire him to make great decisions.]

The me who was here before wasn't exactly polite with you.
explaining: (Remember that time I locked you outside?)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-10-01 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. So I was from quite a bit earlier. [That explains a lot of Asch's iciness. Guy remembers how bitter and hateful he was before; especially if he's from much earlier on, from before they began to collaborate with Asch.] I'd apologize, but I don't think it'd do much good.
explaining: (friend for life)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-10-01 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Guy stops, pulls up short.

Huh.

He pours himself a cup of tea and sits opposite of Asch at the table.]


...Asch, I'm sorry.
explaining: (dude don't be such a dick)

[personal profile] explaining 2012-10-01 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean, what I didn't do? I remember being pretty awful to you back on Auldrant.
