            ❛ i don’t need to eat right now. ❜

     at least he eats when he wants to. he remembers back home… he always had someone to share a meal with. chad and rachel were never ones to, and it bothered him to no end. sure they say they don’t need it, but isaac was sure he could see them wasting away, bones hiding under thick layers of fabric. ( he was the same, he knew it, but his was out of necessity rather than habit. )

                           ❛ you really need to eat, ❜ he reiterates, a bit more forcibly this time, ❛ you don’t eat — so i don’t eat. ❜

she’s already grabbing her phone to dial up the only sushi place she actually likes to eat from , eyes trailing back to her brother . she really hated when he pulled that on her. she didn’t like to eat -- it made her feel sick. 

“Classic Matthews behavior, y’kow I should make my paper on you.” He juoked, climbing into the car and waiting for her to do the same. “Maybe I’d get a prize for dissecting one of the world’s biggest mysteries. Or maybe I’d make people crazy trying to understand what I learned years ago.”

Never try to understand Rachel. 

Even if Neil  didn’t understand or couldn’t fully find himself to believe in something just being there could be enough.

“I wonder what would give me more points. You or the horribly culture rotting meme void that “Baby shark” and “Johnny Johnny” crawled out of.”

     ❛❛ if you can find out the mystery of me, you deserve a award. so i wish you           luck my good sir . ❜❜

she gives a stupid bow from outside the car, before jumping in and hooking her seat belt. giving a little shrug of her shoulders. 

               ❛ why do you do that?! ❜

       almost immediately they boy is spinning on his heel, gaze lowered in a forceful glare. she’s giving him that pitiful, guilty stare — boring into his being to the point of chills. normally it should sadden a person, make them repent. all this did was make him angry. 

                    ❛ you’re not allowed to guilt trip me when you damn well know you don’t even care for yourself? there’s no use coming home when my family is nothing but an empty shell! ❜

“Hey it’s fine, you don’t need to apologize. Okay?” He’s already back with a towel, his phone is out because he’s texting his sister, and while he’s at it he decides to text David too to let him know where she is too.

Wrapping the towel around her shoulders, he offers her a small smile  “I’ll put on some hot cocoa or something. Do you wanna watch a movie? or, whatever, we don’t have to talk if you don’t want too.”

     ❛❛ okay. ❜❜

she pulls the towel around her tighter, god she’s freezing. she hadn’t expected it to be raining . this was california for gods sake , was the planet just out for her today? still it was better than being at home with him fearing for her life .

     ❛❛ i don’t really know . ❜❜

Ah–how presumptuous of him to talk down to her. Gan nods, contrite. The child appears to be quite wary of him, but he can’t blame her–he isn’t exactly…small. 

“Apologies. I hadn’t meant to imply you were incapable. I, too, was accustomed to danger at a young age.” 

The apology he receives in return brings a merry chuckle from him, the air rumbling faintly alongside him. 

“No harm done! I have been told that from afar I look somewhat…ah, what is the word…”

Ah! He remembers–Beast Boy had confided this in him a week or so ago. 

“…axe-murder-y?” 

     ❛❛ i don’t think you look axe-murder-y , i think you look like .. like !!!           BAYMAX! he’s a hero from one of my favorite movies . not that he          can’t be axe-murdery because there’s a scene with him kinda like          that but ...  ❜❜

       his quip about pizza went right over her head, and he wasn’t about to bother her more about it. with her suggestions, he shrugged. both involved vegetables, and while it didn’t bother the blond any — he wanted something a little more sturdy. 

                                ❛ nevermind, i’ll just go out and get something later. ❜

       aka he was probably going to steal it, but that was easy. he was tired of trying to get the others to eat. back when he was home, getting his friends to eat with him was easy …

                      ❛ you really should eat more. ❜    or you’ll become your mother.

     ❛❛ i’ll , order some sushi to eat . ❜❜

it wasn’t something big , something that would make her sick after taking a few bites . normally she’d just make a salad to show her brothers that she was eating but she’s not sure if that’s going to close the deal today . she could tell by the look on his face that he was worried for her . she should be worried for herself but she had never been that type of person .

   she didn’t want to upset them anymore .

“Fine, fine. Food’s always going to be food no matter if you serve it on a napkin or a porcelain plate." 

Though Neil heavily favored the plate, of course, he wasn’t a barbarian. Picking up his messenger bag and shutting off his computer the lanky teen walked towards the door, holding it open for the cheerleader to follow. 

"Kind of shocking Nikki and your brother around sucking face.”

Aside from the fact, Rachel was actually in her own home for once. Making his way down the marbled stone path to his car Neil tossed his backpack to the back seat, pulling the door open. 

“I know it’s old and rusty, but be gentle with her she’s seen better days.”

     ❛❛ i’m just happy that he found someone . he needs          someone in his life like her .❜❜

she follows after him , grabbing her backpack as she passes through the door . she had never been one to carry a purse , and her bag was easier to swing if anyone tried to mug her which happened quite a lot in new york .

                                          @failedwish .

        ❛ for the last time, i’m not going anywhere. ❜ but it was obvious he was going somewhere, he just didn’t want her to know where. he could say something mean, but he’d hold his tongue. they’ve been through too much to warrant… ruder behavior that what he’s already given. ❛ i’ll be home for dinner. if you guys even eat, that is. ❜

     ❛❛ just ... stay safe , okay ? i don’t want you to get hurt .. i don’t ..  ❜❜ 

she doesn’t want to lose anyone else , she can’t handle losing anyone else . but she knows she can’t stop him from doing whatever it is he wanted to do . she could only be there for the aftermath to clean up wounds and tell him its going to be okay .

Gym battles are not her forte but that is not why she is here anyway. Not that she couldn’t take down this twerp’s older brother in a Pokemon battle, which she is certain she can, it was just the Rocket grunt’s business here lies with another agenda. Many a time her and the rest of her trio have ambushed an establishment without investigating the area beforehand to see if there was anything actually worth abstracting. As far as Pokemon are concerned she has not seen anything specifically eye-catching so far then again she is yet to meet this girl’s brother. 

Jessie makes a mental note of the gym leader’s condition. So he was sick, eh? That sounded promising. Maybe this was an opportunity for Team Rocket? In that case that just left her with one problem; this fairhaired girl with the mismatched eyes. What was that called again? A chimera? No matter! The point was she is in the way of her mission.

❛ Oh? So this is the gym? ❜ The older woman tries to play her intrusion off as a mistake, deep blue eyes wandering around the perimeter. ❛ Well I am new to this town and thought I would come into this grand building as a bit of sight-seeing. You say this is your brother’s gym? Well then you wouldn’t mind giving a lost beauty like me a tour then wouldn’t you, my dear? ❜

     ❛❛ technically speaking it’s out gym . we’re both gym leaders .           i just don’t battle as often. ❜❜

not that she wasn’t a good fighter , she was . she wouldn’t be a gym leader if she couldn’t handle her own in a battle . she just prefers not to fight others unless she’s asked to . normally they all want to battle with her brother , the better of the two , the one who made matches more fun . he went head first into everything while she had to constantly think things through

people didn’t seem to like that .

     ❛❛ ah ─ i guess i could show you around . i don’t have much else to do          right now as you can tell . no trainers lined up -- though i do need to          feed the pokemon soon ..  ❜❜
