bookpapers | AKI IS TUTORIAL AGAIN

[HEWWO LAVI...... Lucas is in the church of goats again, tucked up in a far back pew in the corner of the room. His eyes are closed tightly and his hands are also clasped together like he's trying to pray SO HARD for all these deadzos that maybe perhaps they just come back to life! YEEHAW.

It's hard to see his expression from here, but Lavi might notice that he seems a little pale.]

[HE'S BACK IN THE CHURCH THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE... WE GOTTA GET LUCAS A NEW CHURCH!!!!

Lavi will join his little isolated pew, like Lucas is in the time out corner from god or something.]

Lucas.

[he shouldn't interrupt a Catholic at Prayer, but he's worried at how tightly those hands are clasped and at his pale expression?]

[PLEASE HE'S SO TIRED OF THIS DAMN CHURCH.

He also winces a little when his name is called out. With some reluctance, he'll open his eyes, lift his head and look over.]

...Lavi... [SWEATY AND PALE TIME. He also looks distressed just in general.] You've seen the posters...?

[he is looking at Lucas!!! binch ur in pain and u weren't even in cyoa!!!!!! he nods]

...Yeah. [...] I'm sorry.

[the others have hurt, but this one hurts too. and that's just for Lavi, and he wasn't even their roommates.]

[DON'T LOOK AT HIM HE'S FINE!!!!!!]

...I'm sorry, as well. These are losses that we all feel... I'm sure of it.

[Cloud and Aerith and Iwatooshi... He'd only really talked to the first two, but they'd all been kind in their own ways. Aerith and Iwatooshi were so sunny and vibrant, too - the exact sort of people that would gut so many.]

...Have you seen Yuffie...? I looked, but...

[OKAY IM SURE HE IS YEAH MISTER DEATHBED

at that, Lavi deflates.]

Didn't see her. [...] Knowing her, she won't let anyone find her until she's ready.

[SIPP... shakes fist....]

[SIPP!!!!! SHAKES FIST. He closes his eyes again with a little wince, bringing his prayer hands up to press against the bridge of his nose.]

...I can't blame her...

[But he sounds fucking worried, even if it's not like there are so many places to go here. But also one of those places is the backrooms that skinned Ishtar.]

[STOP. NOT THE BACKROOMS THAT SKINNED ISHTAR.

Lavi watches Lucas close his beautiful eyes, and then lifts his hand to press two fingers against Lucas's forehead, how we doing]

You look like shit.

[THIS IS SO MEAN]

[YEAH YEAH me next. Anyway he frowns a little but Lavi will be able to feel through his bangs that his forehead is also SWEATY before he leans back and away from the touch, but that also seems to make him feel unwell.]

...Why...

[THIS IS SO MEAN.]

Shouldn't that be my line?

[DON'T WHY HIM? But he does settle back a little to give Lucas some space, brow furrowing.]

Is it the stress again?

[HE'LL WHY HIM, YEAH!!!!

At the question, Lucas - well, first he places his hand over his mouth like he's about to be ill. But that fortunately doesn't happen! After a few seconds, he'll remove it, closing his eyes.]

...I... Iwatooshi was very kind, but Aerith and Cloud...

[He saw those bitches for so many hours every day.]

[congratulations on your second ot3]

Now I feel bad for nagging ya. [which is true, but he's still worried. as evidenced by the look of concern on his face,]

But you still don't look great. [...] You want some water?

[I'LL KILL YOU

Lavi is so funny though help. He shakes his head a little, but that just seems to make him want to be sick again considering he winces and briefly covers his mouth for another second or two.]

...I wouldn't wish to trouble you. It should pass, soon enough.

[STOP. HE'S JUST MAN STANDING HERE LIKE LUCAS IS SO NOT WELL. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT THOUGH.]

You wanna rest your head on my lap?

[THERE IS A VERY THIN WRY SMILE EVEN THOUGH HE'S FUCKING SUFFERING, just a little jest in his tone.]

So you can tease me?

[STOP. HE DOESN'T KNOW HE'S FCKING SUFFERING BUT HE KNOWS HE IS SUFFERING!!! that's why he will be good. he lifts up a hand and sticks out his pinky finger]

I won't this time, [THIS TIME] promise.

[pats his lap.........]

You can still pray while lying down, right?

[Lavi puts a leech on him while he's napping.

THIS IS FINE THOUGH HE GUESSES!! He'll look toward the pinky finger and i'm just making the executive decision that pinky promises exist in virche because i can't remember if they do or not. He leans forward a little, wincing a bit as he inclines his head and locks pinkies.]

You do seem the type to keep your word. [I GUESS HE'S JUST GOING TO USE LAVI'S LAP AS A PILLOW THEN. THIS CAN HAPPEN SURE.]

You can pray however you like. Upside-down, even.

[HE'D ONLY DO THAT IF LUCAS LOOKED LIKE THE PICTURE OF HEALTH WHICH HE DOESN'T NOW!!!

anyway enjoy this lap. it's nothing compared to buzen gou's beautiful thighs.......... it exists............. but it's not BONY or anything, comfy and pillowy since Lavi doesn't skip leg day.]

I'm sooo trustworthy. And I can keep so many secrets.

[he puts his hands together solemnly as proof]

May God be my witness. Amen.

[HELPPPPP it's fine just burn through the last of his life energy with a leech attack and set me free

He will enjoy the pillow of Lavi's no-skipped-leg-day legs, though! Having a nice place to rest his head does seem to bring him some comfort, though he closes his eyes soon after. Raises his hands, folded together as in prayer.]

Secrets just for you and God, hm... You must keep many secrets, indeed. [A beat, and then:] Will you pray with me? For them.

[STOP. YOU ARE GONNA BE IN THE GY SOONER OR LATER I PREFER LATER

does it really bring him comfort.... is he still just extremely sick (horizontal) now... but Lavi peeps down at Lucas, and then closes his own eye with his hands together in front of him.]

...Thanks for looking out for everyone, Iwa. You were always trying to protect people. Cloud... Thanks for being Kanda's friend. He liked you a lot, y'know? And Aerith... [...] I'll look after Yuffie. And... I'm glad I got to meet you too.

[:tails:

He may be extremely sick (horizontal) but it's better a bit than being upright perhaps maybe. Or maybe this is just better because if he needs to throw up, he can just roll slightly to the side and not have to worry about getting it on Lavi or himself.

He's just sort of quiet as Lavi prays, though, listening to the words in silence. Maybe he's praying along quietly, or maybe he's just giving Lavi's words room and space.]

...Aerith told me that in her world, everyone returns to the life stream when they die. I hope that she and Cloud can make it there.

[LUCAS YOUR VICTORIAN STOMACH THAT IS AILING YOU (AND NOT THE 5000 OTHER THINGS THAT ARE AILING YOU)

Lavi opens his eye and peeks down at Lucas at that,]

...I think they definitely will. She already knows the way there, so she can grab Cloud's hand when she goes.

[hets... in the gy]

[FUCKING HELP listen here he's fine.

His eyes are still closed, face turned out toward the back of the pew in front of them. It's probably nice and dark down here.]

That does sound like something she would do. [The faint smile can be heard in his voice.] ...Lavi... [A beat.] ...Is it a terrible thing for me to say that I'm glad they went together?

[...Lavi tilts his head to the side, and there's a beat of silence before he replies,]

...No.

[he can think of so many who'd prefer that,]

A lot of people say you should live on for the sake of the person you lost. ...But that doesn't make it any less painful to be alone. And death is already so lonely.

[He's quiet for longer still, just thinking about how he would feel if Nadia had ended up here, and if he had woken up one day to her body. The thought alone is almost enough to push him over the edge of sickness, and he takes in a deep, long and shaking breath.]

...It is. And in a situation like this... It feels like even more of an unkindness.

[When they're truly just waiting to be picked off - or so it feels. Three weeks and no progress.]
