==> Oncie: Go talk to him ((long post is long))
AF: Oh, hell to the no. *You grab Oncie by the thneed and drag him to Marvel's door.*
AF: *You push Oncie against the door and knock*
AF: Marvel, talk to your lover, greydammit!
Marvel: DO YOU SEE THE SIGN
Marvel: WHAT DOES THE SIGN SAY, RED
AF: Talk Oncie, please. Just talk to him.
Once-Ler: let go of me then.
AF: *You let go of him and step back, crossing your arms over your chest.*
Marvel: Fine. Just give me like, five minutes.
Once-Ler: *nods and leans on the wall*
Marvel: *actually goes and showers and puts jeans on. He gives up on finding a clean shirt and towel dries his hair. He comes to the door, still a little drunk but at least presentable* Uhm.... Yo.
AF: You two should talk... I don't want to get in between you.
Marvel: *you push your hair out of your eyes and look at the ground*
Once-Ler: *He's already looking at the ground, kicking his shoe against the carpet.*
AF: Listen.. what happened between the three of us was great, it was fun. But I do not want to be responsible for getting in between you two. You guys love each other. You've been together since before I came around! Please... *You look down as well* Talk to each other....
Marvel: *you scratch the back of your head and look around, trying to figure out what to say. You hold the door open a little more,accidentally revealing the mess of papers, pictures, metal, and alcohol. On the nightstand there's still a bag of marshmallows and a thneed* Hey.
Once-Ler: *He looks up after Anon speaks, his mouth open to say something, but when he sees the room, his voice dies. Once-ler's eyes water and he rubs at them, trying to get them to stop.* what the fuck have you been doing? I haven't. Haven't seen you for weeks.
Marvel: *you flinch a little when he notices your room. You shrug* You're lookin' at it. *your ears flatten and you look away*
AF: *You sigh and look into the room.* I should... go...
Once-Ler: *He grabs Anon's hand loosely.* you...do you have to?
Marvel: *you give them both an apologetic look, and close the door a little more*
AF: I'm tired and you guys need some time alone. When was the last time you two sat down and talked? Or did anything together as a couple?
Once-Ler: *He drops Anon's hand and nods.* fine. Go get some rest, then.
AF: *You plant a small kiss on Oncie's cheek then go over to Marvel. You give Mar a hug and whisper in his ear* I want you to be nice and find happiness, ok? *You see the pictures on the floor, one of Psy catches your eye.* ... happiness..... *You let go of Marv, give him a quick peck and head to your room, smiling at Oncie as you wave good night.*
Once-Ler: *He waves back, not quite hearing what was said to Marvel. After Anon left, he turned to face the half-closed door. He smiles up at Marvel tiredly.* can I come in?
Marvel: *you nod and walk away from the door. You sit on your bed, which also has pictures scattered all over it*
Once-ler: *He takes a step in and shuts the door behind him. Once-ler steps forward, but his foot lands on something. He looks down and sees a picture, half of it covered by his foot. He hurriedly lifts his foot up and pulls the picture off, in mid-apology when his eyes widen at the photo.*
Marvel: *the picture is of a completely normal looking Marvel, and Once-ler before he was bitten. Between them is a grumpy looking, black-skinned anon. Once-ler and Marvel are smiling, and they look like they're trying to get the anon to smile too.*
Marvel: MC: Sorry about the shit everywhere. *you grimace and look to the floor*
Once-ler: *He stares at the photo and doesn't hear what Marvel is saying. His eyes widen and soon, the photo flutters to the ground again as his hands hold his head.* f-fuck...
Marvel: *you jump up and rush towards him, putting your hands on his shoulders* O-Once-ler?
Once-ler: *He whimpers, leaning against Marvel for support.* psy. Shit. S--aagh...shit, that's Psy.
Marvel: *your eyes widen and you kneel down next to him* Yeah, Oncie. Yeah, it is. You remember don't you?
Once-ler: why does it have to hurt? *His hands pull on his hair and he closes his eyes tightly.* marvel. Why does it hurt so much?
Marvel: *you pull him into a tight hug and rub his back* I know. I know it does. *you run your fingers through his hair* Shhh... It'll stop soon, it's gonna be all right. Just let everything come back, okay? *your voice is soft and quiet, your eyes glowing a dull yellow. Dark steps back inside your head and watches solemnly*
Once-ler: *He clings to Marvel, whimpering.* give me another picture. I don't care what it's of. Just give me everything you can. Get this. Get this over with now.
Marvel: *you pull him over to the pile of pictures and quietly spread them out for him, and also grab your journal off the floor*
Marvel: Here you go, just look at these then.
Once-ler: *He sifts through the pictures, seeing faces he doesn't remember and the same dark Anon staring up at him. Photos of he and Marvel happy. Times before he was infected. He remembers Psy cursing and telling him Marvel would be upset. Going home and hiding. The Anon trying to take care of his bite. He dropped the picture in his hand and leaned into Marvel.* why...
Marvel: *you pull him into your lap and hold him tightly. You know how much memories coming back hurts, it's happened to you enough times. You lift him up to the bed and brush some of the other pictures out of your way. You lay with him and hold his head against your chest* I know, I know. *you try to calm him back down*
Once-ler: *His whimpers eventually quiet down. His eyes close and his breath slows down with Marvel's. Once-ler holds on to the other tightly, scared to let go.* ...love you. Love you so much.
Marvel: *You let out a breath and you squeeze his hand* I... I love you too, top hat.
