She carried it out of Lea’s room--frowning at the pack of cigarettes on the dresser as she did so--and carried it into her own bedroom, where she sat on the edge of her bed with the keyboard on her lap. There was a bright spot within Terra’s shadow. He took a deep breath and began to laugh. “ So at some point, he picked her up and dumped her in bed and told her to stay there, and that he’d make her soup. Her eyes were apologetic still; she always looked very sorry about something, Xion thought. In fifth grade, he’d heard it from the kids in the mess hall that Sora had cried the first two nights at Camp Koinonia because he and Roxas hadn’t been placed in the same cabin. She hated thinking about that. There were a few hissing whispers followed by a loud sob. Roxas began to whistle the X-Files theme. “Did no one see it coming? She knew he wanted to. Roxas stared at him, exasperated. People without friends ended up hiding in the bathroom stalls, like herself--at least until she’d met Lea. He figured now was probably the best time to talk. His eyes were severely bloodshot and the blue of his irises shone bright with fiery indignation under the shadow of his furrowed brows. It’s stupid, “Hmm… he does look kind of sad.” He brushed away the fur around its eyes with his fingers, but the melancholy expression stayed. “Okay, fine,” Riku said, raising his hands to about ear level. Guess he finally tired himself out.”. No one had ever made anything for her before. He opened his mouth looking like he was about to answer her, but then he smirked and leapt off the ledge and onto his skateboard into the concrete bowl below. He taught himself to skateboard, because his parents wouldn’t let him have a trick bike to ride on the new dunes at the park and it was next coolest thing. Still, there was comfort in knowing that the chance of them finding something horrifying was pretty low. Sora seemed to be in a cheerful mood for someone who was not usually a morning person. P.S. Remember how I never had a lunch or a snack or anything?”, “Ugh. Then her eyes brightened and her gaze shifted to expectant. They can be huge jerks.” He lifted his hand from Roxas’ shoulder and rubbed the back of his head. “Ghosts can still touch each other, duh. That’s why when we fight about something real--well, you see what happens.”. Naminé dug into her pocket and drew out the deck of cards she always carried with her. No way you’d ever make me miserable,” said Sora. He swore under his breath when he brushed the hair out of his face to place a hand on his forehead. “You didn’t tell me you were coming! On every stream that I have watched he says that he refuses to work a normal job like the rest o this world. i love how the sea salt trio met, it's honestly brilliant and it just feels like. He looked sweaty and his hair disheveled, pushed away from his face and sticking to his neck. Slowly. There came a momentary mumbling from the crowd which was quickly drowned out by the words of someone else on the stage. His hand smarted, and it was difficult to ignore. His chest was on fire. Her first impulse was to open her mouth to call for Roxas, but as she gazed across the room she thought, no, she’d tell him later. ”. ‘Cause I’m not.” Lea appeared in front of them, the skateboard resting in place under his foot. “He--you guys-- Slowly. Thank you for restoring my faith. Thank you very much for all the nice feedback!!! The Food Truck Has Landed! Maybe Terra could wear it. This was everything from banana slugs and handfuls of worms to the pet rose tarantula he kept when he was ten, which he’d affectionately named Rosie. You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” His voice sounded tinny and far away. Axel sat down on the other side of him and Larxene, Demyx, and Zexion filled the rest of the row. All orders are custom made and most ship worldwide within 24 hours. His brother was stupid. “Don’t,” Naminé gasped. Xion picked up her coat and draped it over the kitchen chair while Roxas watched Aqua flop onto the couch and hit the back of her head against its arm. “You… sh… hhh… stand,” Kairi hissed, her reply even less intelligible. “I guess we’ll catch up when he wakes up.”. If it was a party, it was a glum one. He joined Roxas under the porch lights, crossing one leg over the other as he leaned against the wall. Roxas’ blood was trailing down his forearm, but he made no move to wipe it away. They’d gone to camp in Yosemite, years ago, in the summer. “I took some Nyquil, but I don’t think I should have.” In truth, he had only thrown up the one time, but the image of Ventus curled over the bucket on his lap tortured by endless dry heaving was burned into his mind and he was determined to purge any illness he might have contracted as quickly as possible. One particularly bumpy orange appeared to have grown horns; another had what looked like every human orifice at once. He stuck his tongue out at her before leaving his shoes and backpack by the door and disappearing into the bathroom. Amid the cacophony Sora began to wheeze and clutch his stomach, tears streaming down his cheeks, watching the same happen to Riku beside him until they were both rolling around on the lawn, coughing and gasping for air. She willed it to go away but it stayed defiantly in her body, just watching, like chaperones at a middle school dance waiting to shove themselves between thirteen year-olds who came closer than an arm’s length away from each other. Die erste Möglichkeit besteht darin, sich bei OWN3D.pro zu registrieren - selbstverständlich kostenlos. He’d trespassed on the properties up in the foothills (‘cause really, keeping a view of the entire bay like that to yourself was just selfish) but never before had he broken a boundary. Aqua let out a snort and fell into a coughing fit, after which she wiped her face and laughed, “Absolutely not.”, “Roxas is always fighting with his brother.”, “Terra and I were exactly like that,” she replied with a grin. He bent down and picked up another pair of bottles. What if this was somehow his fault in a way that he could never have been aware of? “Gimme a hand with the stuff,” Demyx ordered as soon as they stepped out, and Axel promptly pulled a cooler out of the trunk that Roxas didn’t even know had been there the whole time. “I won’t tell Kairi you’re still afraid of the dark,” Sora said. It wasn’t actually like Craigslist; for one, it seemed intuitive and the colors were fun and welcoming. He knelt down to search for something in the cupboard under the stove; when he stood up again he caught sight of Sora lingering in the living room and paused to fix him briefly with an expressionless gaze before turning his attention back to his search. In her mind, she imagined quietly sweeping her own bad mood away somewhere behind the fridge. All this time, Roxas was quiet. “Hey, Terra! Sora laughed into his back, feeling the rising and falling of Riku’s rib cage pressing against the bridge of his nose. Whether she was trembling because she was cold, frightened, or because she was trying to suppress her coughing, Sora couldn’t tell. But instead of shoving him off the swing he only succeeded in sending him hovering back to the other side of the creek bed; Riku could hear Sora let out a groan of frustration and he laughed and shoved his feet against the wall of the creek again, watching Sora pause and slide his backpack off his shoulders as he swung past before sidling closer. “Being here is creeping me out,” he said. “I miss my brother.”. Riku turned around and leaned back against the stove. And there my friends are the differences between a piece of low life ahit like burger and a genius like Asian Andy. Always with a sketchbook under her arm. She sat back on the edge of the bed and cradled the jar in her lap. Beer was all he had, though Aqua had initially asked for something stronger. He didn’t like the rough pebbles and the chunks of concrete that made up its bed, and how he occasionally rolled his ankles when he walked upon it; he didn’t like how its high banks felt like walls closing in with the way it blocked half of what amount of sunlight fell in it; he didn’t like being able to see the roots of giant oak trees sticking out of the banks like fingers reaching to grasp at his clothing if he wandered too close; he didn’t like how all the rest of it was overgrown with ivy which housed rats, and relentlessly angry, bare blackberry bushes which seemed to grow more thorns each time he glanced at them; he didn’t like the uneasy feeling he got from the shattered remnants of beer bottles sparkling green and brown among the rocks. And if it’s about boys, it’s mine,” Axel said. Beside the balcony which allowed them to peer down into the dark and barren ground floor stood what once had been readable as a map, but water damage had begun to rot the paper inside the display. to tell me what the hell is going on with you,” she gasped. She held him until the shaking stopped and he let go. The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place is an album by Explosions in the Sky. That at some point his stupid, airheaded smile hadn’t turned his stomach into the latest destination for the monarch butterfly migration. Of course. A lot of them clearly belonged to their parents—Santana, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen…. He made him feel important, even though he and his friends were all in high school and they didn’t really care about anything a middle-schooler had to say. The other sat cross-legged and hunched over a short ways away, a few inches of air between his knees and her feet, wearing an outdoor coat with a fur lined collar over flannel pajamas. The fire cast their flickering shadows across the sand. “I know, it’s gross, isn’t it?” He laughed dryly and contorted his face into something she assumed was supposed to be a grin, but the bruise on his jaw was so swollen it turned out awkward and lopsided. She wondered if it would take that long for her own edges to soften, and she could lie on the beach where someone might one day come along to take her home and love her. Riku, on the other hand, she’d always heard was aloof and standoffish. The first voice spoke again. Riku tilted his head to look at him, shifting his weight to one arm and curling himself inward like a weeping willow. I’ll teach you how to make the muffins.”, She stuck her tongue out at him. Three weeks later--long after Sora had forgotten he’d ever brought in up--Riku had shown up at their lunch spot and presented to him the soda in the flavor he could never find. Anyway, please don’t take me to the creek ever again kind of way. “You don’t think she has a. Xion gave him a sheepish smile and tucked her hair behind one ear. “How’s he doing? Her pocket knife was laid across her lap, one hand over the handle, the other slowly thumbing the blunt edge of the blade. Then they played a video montage and a couple more people made speeches. “What are you doing?” Sora asked him, peering over his shoulder. “What am I supposed to do with these?”. Larxene? Xion wanted to hide in the bathroom, but as she’d already used it, she had no good excuse. This is how Jeepers Creepers started. It reminded him of when they shared a bunk in the same room when they were younger. He did not want to bear witness to whatever scene would go down between Kairi and the unwelcome company. He could feel the cold of the stone through his jeans. “I didn’t know you listened to anything besides bad music,” Roxas said. “Terra said Ven didn’t come home last night.” Xion looked worried. “This would go a lot faster if you would drive me—or better yet, teach me how to drive,” Roxas huffed, piling snacks back into his arms only to drop them again. Like the redwood, he could only embrace a small part of it no matter how hard he tried. He still refused to let Sora touch him, which made things difficult and frustrating. Roxas grunted and wheezed when Xion squeezed him. Still, he grasped the pole with one hand and leaned away dramatically as he stuck his tongue out. Riku thought--stupid and intrusive as it was--that if he tilted his head down, just a little, he could press his lips against the crown of his head. She meant to return upstairs to fetch her good headphones with the microphone while she waited for Roxas to call, but the partially open door to Lea’s bedroom caught her eye from the landing. “Where’re you from?” Riku asked, just to keep him from babbling about ghosts. was this farmer’s market supposed to be again?”, ,” Sora informed him. I want to tell you. And Ven is just one of those lucky kids, I guess.”. Her eyes grew clouded. He was trembling slightly, but she didn’t know whether it was because of the spill he’d just taken or because he was angry. It’s not your job to worry. “My best friend, you asshole,” Roxas yelled from across the yard. Xion kept staring at him. Riku shrugged so hard it hurt his shoulders. “Mhmph,” she said, in the middle of taking a large bite of muffin. He finally took a sip of his soda. It was still raining; for a while, they only breathed and listened to the rain pounding on the roof. How do you do, fellow gamers?—Burger King exploits Twitch for cheap ads Was a fast food chain's ad campaign merely scummy, or did it violate FTC rules? She quickly collected the card and shuffled it back into the deck before returning it to its case. The Twitch Rivals: Streamer Bowl II will take place on Super Bowl week with content creators and NFL players joining forces to play Fortnite for a charity prize pool of $1 million. The planet he admired from where they sat could not care about the owner of the hand he held as much as he did. It was too. There were people he talked about sometimes—but never by their names. I did everything wrong.”, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, lea still has a smoking problem in this good year of 2018, the front bottoms sometimes and other miscellaneous punk rock, implied/referenced suicide in later chapters (past only). Hemorrhagic fever, a consequence of decades of chemical exposure, or something new and unidentified--whatever it was, it didn’t matter now. He pulled out a CD and held it under Roxas’ nose. What’s wrong?”. For a while it was just Sora and Riku in the afternoons. Roxas was lounging at the table eating a lunchbox apple and leaning back with his feet propped up on an adjacent chair. Sora left Riku’s side to squeeze himself in front of the couch where Aqua and Terra were sitting. They sat leaning back against the hard concrete for a bit, just listening and gazing at the narrow streak of grey sky. Roxas was accompanied by his brother and his brother’s friends, Kairi and Riku. He wanted to squeeze in next to her, but it wasn’t exactly a good time to be playing sleepover. Xion politely excused herself from their conversation to throw herself at her. From it he drew a broken jewel case with a worn cover. “Kiss me, then,” he said. They stared blankly at each other for a moment that was a little too long. There was a T-shaped split in the tunnel where a faint amount of light filtered in from a grate above, and rungs against the side of the wall that lead up to the underside of a manhole cover. He didn’t look at her when she sat herself next to him; he was too tired to concentrate on anything besides staring at the dead grass. “I thought it would be fun if we could so something together, but…” She trailed off and sighed again. “So,” he began, before Aqua set down her drink. Before Fame. “Stitches?”. That was her It was almost as bad as that time he had a panic attack when he got lost inside the tunnels of a McDonald’s playplace when he was six. “Learned how to jumpstart a car before I learned how to drive it. Only the scars of store signs suggested it had once been a place for retail; the storefronts themselves had been shuttered, some even boarded off and spackled over to give the impression that there was never a store there in the first place. Then Riku sighed gently, rolling onto his side so that he was facing away and all Sora saw of him was his back, curled into himself ever so slightly. “Are--how have you been doing?” Xion stuttered, nearly wincing as she realized she’d just asked him the question she’d been trying to avoid answering herself for the past fifteen minutes. “On the cheek, before he fell asleep,” he continued. He’d just made to the top of the tallest structure and as he sat proudly on its steepled roof, he let out a whoop of victory for his friends below (though he had been climbing to the tallest spot on the playground for years, he was proud each time.) Kairi was apparently having the same experience, because she was staring up at him with her mouth open slightly and her eyebrows high enough to touch the ceiling. His choice of letter was a bit unfortunate. He discarded his shoes and flopped onto the couch with a sigh that made him sound like he was deflating. Can’t wait to read the rest! It was Kairi, whose eyes were bright and her face full of color, and her voice was chipper despite still being somewhat phlegmy. He saw the hindquarters of the deer dyed red and its chafed legs raw. Technically, not good. Troubled girl with a bad heart meets troubled friends. “It was… Arlene? The tall one hurried them inside the house where she breathlessly introduced herself as Aqua, and the taller one as her brother Terra. “I’m, uh, coming in.”. Riku--a light sleeper and awoken by Sora’s footsteps--blinked at him sleepily from his bed on the couch, and then blinked again with a significantly more puzzled expression as if the commotion last night had caused a spell to befall them à la Freaky Friday (and then Sora had the passing thought that if he was Kairi for a day, he’d finally be able to beat her at an arm wrestling match.) Sora caught the glint of her pocket knife reflecting the light from the cracked doorway, behind the shadow of Riku. He quickly clapped his other hand back over the wound. “Hey, how much longer do we have to stay? Sora blinked. So I sat there for fifteen minutes with my bow aimed at a tree like an idiot.” He feigned a chuckle. See Kairi hunched over and over in his pockets instead if all else fails, were.
