Cecil, I think it's alright to come home now.

I'll be there soon.

She's been worried about him forever~

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Good.

Aww, MamaSister...

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

[And once it's all settled back at Riful's, Cecil finally returns to Kaye's marshall apartment and slips inside, looking a bit pale and shaken.]

...Kaye? River? Hina?

She loves you so.

[She hears him from the other room and rushes over.]

You back for good?

[The moment she's within close reach, he just flops against her, almost as if he's passed out. But he's awake, just quiet for a moment.]

I... should be.

[Her arms go around him in a comfortable hug.]

Good.

[She's not going to say she was worried, but the bags under her eyes and empty coffee bags/used coffee filters should tell how worried she actually was.]

Re: <3

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

[Aww, he's sorry. He can smell the coffee on you, but it's nice. He just returns the hug, clinging weakly.]

Don't leave... not yet, don't leave just yet.

Re: <3

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

I won't.

[She doesn't make a move, just keeps hugging him tightly.]

Re: <3

[He doesn't plan on letting go anytime soon, so he just holds on until his knees give in on him and he falls down in front of her, slipping into one of his stupors.]

Re: &lt;3

[She drops to catch him and lightly taps his face.]

Hey, get back here.

[She's being as calm as she can be. Dammit, whoever he was with should have given him god dammed post it's. Or something.]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

[He jolts out of it, but he's barely up, and just tightens his grip.]

Still here...

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

[She hugs him even more tightly. Dammit, he's not allowed to zone out.]

Better be. You hungry?

[followvoices.livejournal.com]

Don't let him in.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

... what?

[followvoices.livejournal.com]

He's a bad boy. It's his fault.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

River, what are you talking about?

[followvoices.livejournal.com]

[pause.]

Rika.

[and louder.]

I want Rika! Not him!

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

River, Rika didn't leave because of him.

[followvoices.livejournal.com]

Yes she did.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Rika left for a reason that had nothing to do with Cecil. She'll be back when she's ready to come back.

[followvoices.livejournal.com]

She left because of him. Of the things he did to her.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

That's not true. River, Rika loves Cecil.

[followvoices.livejournal.com]

That's what makes it worse.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

She didn't move out because of him and that's final.

[now we are a little sulky.]

[We will let you sulk because we're a pissed teen at the moment.]
