NOT BACKDATED FOR A CHANGE

[asterope]

[After a long night of partying or rather attempting to, Ast has come home! Well, rather, two nights - he hasn't really been keeping count, he's just too tired to deal with finding a place to sleep he's not Cel he can't sleep anywhere]

[Cel is... not creepily staring at Ast's bed as Ast enters the house...! But he turns around, obviously shocked]

... Niichan?

screeee CEL WHY.

[asterope]

[he is not responding to you, but rather messing around in the kitchen for some food]

:')!!

[celaeno]

[HE KNEW YOU'D IGNORE HIM!!! Chasing after!]

At least say something!

CREEPER EXTRAORDINAIRE OMG

[asterope]

Like what? Get out of my house? I told you I didn't want anything to do with you!

it'd be great if he could get those code words :'D

[celaeno]

[OUCH OMG NO NOT LIKE THAT]

But why!? I don't get it...!

I was just thinking that too hahahaha I MEAN IF THEY HAVE PUNKY BREWSTER--

[asterope]

Of course you don't get it! You never understand anything or anyone! I bet you don't even know why you did it, either!

it would be... truly amazing, really

[celaeno]

"Why" I...

You're right. I wasn't thinking at the time— No, actually, I don't even remember it. Something so important, and I didn't even realize it...

SOB I'M SO SORRY He's such a whiny little bitch - I need that as a codename really

[asterope]

That's just it! You never think, and then you get hurt, or you hurt me, and you are always sorry but you keep doing things and not thinking them through!

[at this point he's more fed up at you than angry ALTHOUGH YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT]

that would be great too but AWWW NAH ♥

[celaeno]

But I—! I really tried...! I couldn't sleep at all; I kept trying to figure it out... But I'm just an idiot who can't understand if you don't explain it to me.

[asterope]

[he's giving up on eating at this point, instead advancing on Cel and crowding her personal space]

What's there to explain?! [he's yelling at this point]

I keep telling you to stay away from him, he even SHOT you, for god's sake! And then you're wearing his dogtags...? It's like you're making fun of me right in my face! If you prefer his company, why don't you just leave and go to him?!

[celaeno]

[you're a little scary when angry :(]

I didn't know...! I don't care about them, and I don't care about him. It's fine to throw those away!

But I was just... trying to help you. Why didn't it work? Why did... it turn out like this?

[asterope]

[I apparently also change your gender I'm amazing]

You always just do what you think is best! You never think about how it'd impact other people! And maybe with your life, you never needed to worry about that, but you should think about it now! I told you he was bad news, and you went and did it anyhow!

[he still has the tags, having been alternating clutching them and throwing them on the ground and stomping them super maturely all night...s, so now he's tossing them at you and flopping on the couch instead - he's super tired as well, not having slept either]

[celaeno]

[He opens his mouth to reply, but when the tags are chucked towards him, he instinctively reaches and catches them... and frowns as he looks at them]

So you didn't get rid of them, either. Niichan and that guy, too... You're always badmouthing each other, but you can't stop thinking about each other, right? You both still care so much... Why are you guys fighting like this?

[asterope]

[he groans and hides his face under a pillow]

Listen to when I'm talking to you! I'm talking about you, not about him! You should think about what you're doing, not what would be good for me! You're not my mother!

[celaeno]

But... What I want to do is help you. I want to be useful to you! I—

I just want you to be happy.

[TURNING AWAY NOW because even if your face is under a pillow, that was hella embarrassing to just have to say out loud okay]

[asterope]

[he throws the pillow at the back of your head]

That's what's annoying! You're not an extension of me! Think about yourself for a change! He shot you, and you still hang out with him? You accept his things and wear them?! You're not the living contract of brotherhood that'll magically make us like each other again!

[HE IS NOT ABLE TO BE TOUCHED AT THE MOMENT SORRY CEL 8'(]

Why did you wear them, anyhow?! Was it funny?

[celaeno]

Of course not! What was it... What did he say? At any rate, it was all a lie! He tricked—

... But that doesn't matter. I'm the idiot who let himself get tricked. I make a mess out of everything.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS IN THE FIRST 5 SECONDS I SWEAR CEL

[asterope]

Get tricked? What do you mean?! Are you seriously telling me you got those tags by accident...

was it... important..............

[celaeno]

Didn't I say it!? I didn't know!

I will make you eat those tags through your nostrils

[asterope]

[he is staring at you from the couch for a few seconds -- then gets up, slaps Cel on the back of the head, and leaves for his room, shutting the door behind him]

lsdfjkl that sounds painful!!

[celaeno]

—Ow!

[And he's only just barely able to rub his head before Ast heads into his own room and the door between them is closed

:( guess he'll... spend another night outside on whatever the equivalent of your porch is]

JUST BE GLAD I SAID NOSTRILS

[asterope]

[what I was sure he'd follow Ast-- oh well, Ast is too stubborn to apologize or talk to Cel when he's this tired and still angry at everything in the world so

he'll just go to bed but not be able to sleep :(]

...........

[celaeno]

[HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, but he doesn't... really sleep either...

sounds like it will be a rough morning :(]

[asterope]

[in the middle of the night Ast leaves his room though-- at least he opens the door]

[celaeno]

[hears the noise from inside...! and wonders if he should enter or wait for Ast to try to leave...]
