[straying]

[It's been too quiet for too long, Vatheon. So maybe that's why-]

I have fooooood~!!

[Saya? Yes. Bouncing? Yes. Holding a basket of... well, food? Yes.]

So apparently I was out cold for weeks, but look! Enough goodies and pastries and sweets to make up for all that lost time! Oh man, oh man! Whoooooo's the luckiest cat? Why, I'm the luckiest cat, thanks for asking!

[giggles and she smiles brightly]

Okay, so! Guys, you've gotta help me! I don't have enough room in my fridge for all this and I've still gotta eat dinner later! Anyone want to lend a girl a hand~?

Yeah, that's right folks, Saya Minatsuki is back in action!

[filtered to Masamune]

Speaking of dinner! Let's go? Later? Maybe~? If you don't have anything better to do.

[filtered to Train]

Never speak to me again.

[filtered to Demyx]

Well hey there, Dem. Didja miss me?

[filtered to Katsu]

Hey... Thank your brother for me, okay?

[filtered to Naoya]

You're good to me, you know that? 

Anyway~ Wanna take a walk later? I've seen enough of Matthew to last me a lifetime-

So can I count on you to fill me in instead of him?

[... pffff. She giggles and nods.]

Okay, Dem. What do you want to know?

[Digging through the basket and- oh hey! Plastic forks and knives. Starting on cutting that cake, yesiree.]

I know, right? Lucky me, lucky me~

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Everything. I wanna know what's been up since we last talked. I mean... We haven't really talked for awhile, yanno?

_{[He can't help but grin.]}

Definitely lucky.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hmm... How far back then?

[A contemplative hum and she manages to cut herself a slice of that cake! Then some of it gets put on a fork and-]

Say 'aaahh'!

[Cheeky grin is quite cheeky.]

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Uh... Let's see... Around April when Xigbar came back. I had my wrist busted up a few weeks before that, so...

_{[Oh boy oh boy, is he going to get fed again? This is almost like breakfast that one day.]}

Aaahh!

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She can talk serious later. For now, that cake is heading straight for his mouth!

... before making a U-turn and ending up in hers.

Now she's laughing at him.]

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Oh.

Oh.

Don't make him pout, man.



Pout.]</sub>

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[nope, sorry

still giggling up a storm]

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

<sub>[that bottom lip?













quiver.]</sub>

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[rolling her eyes and okay, hold on

putting another piece on the fork aaaaaand it's heading for his mouth again

better open up before she changes her mind, Dem]

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

_[Aaaahh--]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[a moment of hesitance as she consiiiiiiiders it-

but no she's not that mean

enjoy the chocolate cake]

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Oh he will enjoy it.

Saya, he loves you.]</sub>

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, she loves him too. Rolling her eyes, though it's very hard to deny that smile.]

So? How is it? Chef's got a couple thousand years of experience, apparently.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

_{[It's a pseudo!sibling love, clearly.]}

Honestly? If I were to die right now I'd die happy. It's that good.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Best kind of platonic love.]

Seriously? [pfffff-] Then I'll be sure to pass those compliments on~

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! S'awesome!

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it~ Help yourself!

[offering him the fork!]

But let's see.... catching up, huh? How about you start? I'm starting to think there's a lot more about you that I'm missing out on, Dem.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Where do I even start? When Xigbar got back things got kinda... I dunno, weird for awhile. We had one funky reunion, that's for sure. Lea 'n Isa don't know about it 'n I sorta intend to keep it like that. See, they don't really like the old man that much. Uh...

_{[He frowns slightly, taking a forkful of cake.]}

Let's see... My boss showed up so I'm still kinda freaking over that a little. Me 'n Lea... There've been a couple fights over dumb things.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Aaaand to clarify....

Lea's your other boyfriend I never got the full story about?

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Yeah. ...Yanno Axel? Lea is Axel before the whole Nobody thing.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... You have any particular attachments for the past, Dem? That makes two for two, doesn't it?

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

C'mon, you say that like I'd hook up with Braig if he ever showed up. I think Xigbar would strangle me.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Just a laugh.]

I won't comment on your love life- it's not my place. But still though... sounds like a bit of rough going there.

You managing despite it all?

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

...Honestly, sometimes I don't know. Sometimes I'm happier than a clam and other times I get really bad stomach pains when we start fighting. I... A lot of the time I'm stressed out.

_{[He tilts his head back and fiddles with part of his coat.]}

The last fight I had with Lea... It was at my place. It was just something small and then it got worse cuz we were drunk then we made up and I fell asleep on the couch with him and then I woke up in my bed with him hogging all the blankets. I guess the old man must've dragged us to my room so he could have the couch back.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[.... a slight sigh.]

You should know right off the bat that drinking doesn't sit well with me, Dem. You sure he's even allowed to drink...?

[She scratches her head thoughtfully.]

It... sounds rough. I mean, relationships aren't my thing - waaaaaaaay too much baggage - but it depends on how things weigh out? The good times outweigh the bad? You know, you should think if this is really the best if you ask me. Are you really suited for this relationship thing? Y'know, with each other?

[She tilts her head.]

I'm not aiming to push you one way or another- I just don't like hearing that you... have these troubles, Dem.
