I ran away

"Dead...I knew I would cause someone's death, but why?

"… Don’t worry; It’s been on the fritz for a while now; I dropped the tower part of it during a hallucination a few weeks before you got back." he rubbed his face and leaned against the other for a moment to rest his eyes with a sigh. "Okay- Unplug this one and take anything out of it. I have a back up." Desmond disappeared down the hall before he plucked up the replacement and slid it on the counter in the old one’s place. "I’ll get that one repaired sometime when I get enough tips."

His savior! After unplugging the faulty machine, he slid it aside for the functioning one, eager to get his rare caffeine fix. “Thanks for tellin’ me the thing’s been broken. I thought I destroyed your property.”

"Hmn? Technically it is ours; I might have borrowed a few bucks while we were together to get this one." he smiled a little. 

"Calm down- it’s far too early into the morning- at least for me- to have you yelling so loud over a dog or something; what’s going on?" Desmond squinted to minimize the light as he waddled into the kitchen, a sheet wrapped about his hips. 

"Babe, you don’t understand." Being comically dramatic, he placed his hand on the bartender’s shoulder to comfort him and prepare him for the bad news. "It’s the coffee maker, Des…I don’t know if it’ll make it."

We could fix that~ /Chuckles and rubs away the honey/ Where’s the glass babe?

Thanks. …. No… I forgot again… Mind grabbing them? Should be the front or one of the side compartments in my bag… 

/Gets up and takes off the gloves and plucks up the glass./ You're worrying. I can ignore my visions to a point... Missing them for an hour or two isn't dangerous. /Chuckles/ But I get where you're coming from /Takes the pills and washes them back with water./ Thanks Clay...

Ugh. Why does my brain have to form an image of every scenario that comes out of your mouth? I’m scarred!

Of course I do- I mop the floors at least once every two weeks….. It’s in the closet, babe- s’the red one. Just fill it in the tub.  That gives me shivers just thinking about going back to the compound… You…. I’ll never stop laughing if I ever see him again.

…….. Yes… it is a good time. And you’re lucky it’s not the first time that bloody thing has broken…. It’s alright. Just got to get me a bucket of hot water and I’ll get the towels. 

....

Do you- have you  heard yourself explain that?

You’re lucky you’re loveable. 

I’m glad you think so. Is this a good time to admit I broke the honey jar and made everything a little sticky in the kitchen?
