"Please. I don't want you to get sick."

"......if I do I'll die fastest. So it's....fine...."

●

"Insideeee." She drunkenly picked him up.

2016-03-18 08:19:17

🌀

He was starting to doze off, but managed to keep his eyes open, if only to get out the remaining tears. "...no......I don't want........"

●

"Inside." She walked over to her bedroom window.

2016-03-18 08:21:41

🌀

He fell asleep in her arms mumbling "...let me......."

2016-03-18 08:23:48

●

"Nu." She somehow made it back into the window with him.

🌀

His face was wet, hair plastered over his eyes, but he was snoring, hugging himself tightly.

Ivory shut the window, grabbed her wine bottle, dropped Seculus onto the bed, and got into the bed right next to him.

🌀

He curled up, wrapping his arms around his knees. His elbow went under the pillow.

●

She kept her head on the pillows, occasionally lifting the bottle and drinking. Until eventually emptied the bottle and passed out.

A few hours later, I arrived home from work and went to Ivory's room, wondering why everything was so quiet. I saw them curled up on the bed, clearly shitfaced, and sighed. Looks like it's my turn. I went downstairs for some Tylenol and water.

....a few hours after /that/, Seculus woke up, whimpering and sniffling. I looked up from writing my resume on Ivory's laptop to hand him the pills and drink. "What happened this time," I asked quietly. All I received in return was a soft sound of suffering.

Ivory shifted and rolled over, before she woke with a whine.

2016-03-19 06:07:28

🌀

I passed over the pills and water to her too. "Ivory? What happened?" Maybe she's in a better state to explain.

2016-03-19 06:08:46

●

She took it and gulped it down. "That witch came by." She handed the now empty class back and laid back down.

2016-03-19 06:16:56

🌀

I took them and sat up, immediately paying more attention. "...shit. What'd she do?"

2016-03-19 06:17:38

●

"Just made a deal, or tried to." She shut her eyes, not wanting to think.

2016-03-19 06:19:16

🌀

I leaned in a little. "...what's that on your neck?" Seculus finally managed to speak, after drinking the water and having it dribble past him onto the pillow as he refused to sit up first. ".......she........said she'd give me happiness....if I gave her my soul.....Ivory tried to........." He didn't have to say anything else. I quickly moved to the other side of the bed and hugged Ivory tightly. Oh god. She almost gave up her /soul/. She almost died...!

2016-03-19 06:21:47

●

She yelped in suprise a little, but hugged him back. "I'm fine now. I'm okay."

2016-03-19 06:27:49

🌀

"...are you sure? You were drinking this much, clearly you're not /fine/. She didn't do anything to your soul, did she?"

2016-03-19 06:29:39

●

"I'm still talking to you right now aren't I?"

2016-03-19 06:32:51

🌀

"...then why were you both drinking so much?"

2016-03-19 06:33:49

●

"...."

2016-03-19 06:34:40

🌀

"....Ivory. Come on." I pulled back and held her by the shoulders, looking her dead in the eye. "What else did she do."

2016-03-19 06:35:16

●

She looked at him for a moment, then looked away. "She almost went through with it but I wasn't good enough."
