"I doubt that. Come on." She squeezed their shoulder. "Tell me."

"Nothing's wrong. I'm just focused on the show."

2016-06-23 09:22:31

●

"Oh. Am I bothering you then?"

2016-06-23 09:23:19

🌀

"No."

2016-06-23 09:23:26

●

"It seems like it."

2016-06-23 09:23:39

🌀

"You're not." They weren't even really seeing the show anymore anyways.

2016-06-23 09:24:02

●

She turned their head to face her. "You're lying. What's wrong?"

2016-06-23 09:25:13

🌀

They stared at her blankly for a second before they managed to put a smile on their face. "I'm not. Nothing's wrong." They were just being a good Ren.

2016-06-23 09:26:11

●

A good what? "Yes there is."

2016-06-23 09:27:04

🌀

"There isn't. I promise."

2016-06-23 09:28:18

●

She frowned. "I know you're lying to me."

2016-06-23 09:28:43

🌀

"I'm not. I'm not lying." They weren't supposed to argue either though, what did they do now-- no. Quiet. Just be quiet.

2016-06-23 09:30:59

●

"....Something /is/ wrong."She could still hear their thoughts.

2016-06-23 09:31:39

🌀

They fixed that quickly. "Nothing's /wrong/."

2016-06-23 09:32:08

●

She sighed and stood up. "Fine. Don't tell me." She turned to leave.

2016-06-23 09:32:40

🌀

Wait. What? It didn't work? Why didn't it work, it was supposed to work, it was supposed to make her /happy/, what--they were quiet--they didn't argue, they were good, why didn't--they started shaking. They didn't understand. What did they do wrong?

2016-06-23 09:34:29

●

"There's a difference between arguing with me and lying to me." She left the room and walked upstairs.

2016-06-23 09:35:55

🌀

But nothing was wrong, nothing was.....they pulled up their knees and started crying again, the show still playing in the background. They could never make her happy. Nothing worked. They couldn't do anything right, they were a bad Ren, always bad, she'd never smile for them again, they were horrible.....

2016-06-23 09:37:12

●

She paused at the middle of the stairs. Sigh. This was getting tiring. "I didn't ask for you to be quiet because I don't like being around you." She spoke as she moved back downstairs and into the kitchen. "I wanted you to calm the fuck down." She grabbed a bottle of white wine from the cabinet and moved back upstairs.

🌀

They abandoned their laptop and did the same, but took it outside instead. They wanted to be somewhere else. Things were supposed to be fixed. So why did they feel so hated?

2016-06-23 09:42:40

🌀

Everything seemed too quiet. He knew Ivory had come home at some point, then someone else left and he wasn't sure who. He decided to search the house a little to take inventory of who all was in the house right now. Cale was watching TV, Lance was....out, seemingly, Ren and Ivory must be in their room. The door was open once he reached the upstairs, and he frowned a little at the faint smell of alcohol, pushing it further open and stepping inside. Immediately, he panicked, pulling the bottle away from her and wrapping his arms around her. Not again. Please. "Ivory, what are you doing, stop it, please...."

2016-06-23 09:49:27

●

The bottle was empty, he was a bit late for that. "Let me go." She squirmed in his grasp. She was in the middle of a /very/ important game. Which was the sims and the person was literally living outside.

2016-06-23 09:51:40

🌀

He pulled her out of her chair, reached out and paused the game when he noticed it was on, and sat down on her bed with her in his lap. He buried his face in her hair. "........why are you........"

2016-06-23 09:52:18

●

"I said let me goooooooo." She whined.

2016-06-23 09:53:09

🌀

"......no......" Why was she drinking? Did Ren hurt someone else? She'd gotten home late, had she gotten hurt, was she just dead tired of having him in the house....
