tenminutes | DDD: IC CONTACT POST

Just say that in the first place!

[ Yuri sounded a lot more frustrated than she'd intended to. A huge part of her was almost irrationally scared that she was going to lose someone else she cared about. She'd tried to get some ideas of what to do by posting anonymously, but... she ended up either getting called selfish or to just deal with it.

Even if she should know that Battler wouldn't leave her, when he'd lead up all dramatically about the proposal after being so close to Beatrice when she'd left... ]

Don't try to be all dramatic, you moron..

Sorry sorry, that's just my style!

[Battler laughed to himself, feeling much happier than he had been before. He liked to talk to her, he liked to hear her voice, but still...]

...Can I come over?

I'm wearing my pajamas.

[ It's not a no, though. ]

[Jeez.. just come right out and say it! Still, he'll take that as a yes, and soon he's disappeared in a cloud of butterflies, appearing in her world now.

He has his hands in his pockets, but he soon saunters over to her.]

Aha! You look good like that!

[ Battler might be happy right now, Yuri's still on the edge of everything sucking except that her boyfriend's not running off with the other girl who loves him. ]

I could be dressed up like a cow and you'd think it was cute.

[ Yuri sighs slightly and goes to turn the light on in her room so that they're not both sitting there in the dark, the only light coming from the laptop and I-mon situated on her pillow. ]

[Ah... Battler can tell that she's in a bad mood. He goes over to her, taking her hand and guiding her over to the bed. He takes a seat first, he attempts to pull her so she's sitting on his lap.]

...Alright, tell me what's on your mind exactly.

Nothing I can do anything about. Or you. Nothing talking about helps, I already tried asking for advice. Just got a whole lot of "don't be selfish" or "deal with it."

[ She doesn't really fight sitting down though. Her expression doesn't really change. ]

I'll be alone here soon.

[He wraps his arms around hr once she's sitting down. It's.... weird when she's the one that gets into these moods, it's usually him that needs her help. Still, he'll do everything he can to get her back to normal again.]

You can still tell me about it right? ...And I'll never leave you, you won't be alone.

Kanade woke up and... they said that one of the bad personalities rose, but she doesn't exactly seem wrong. Then Otonashi started trying to fill all of Yui's wishes. Hinata must have figured out what was going on because Yusa said that she saw him over near Otonashi and Yui when Yui disappeared and that he said something about weddings. She couldn't get close enough to really hear most of it, but it's more than enough to be able to figure out what they're up to. Otonashi and Hinata, I mean.

[ Yuri doesn't move in his arms. Just telling him the facts is a lot easier to say than how she feels about this. ]

[She'll be all alone...

...Oh.

He understands now. Otonashi and Hinata seem to be trying to fulfill everyone's wishes and getting them to disappear. It's about time everyone left the afterlife, huh....? Battler couldn't exactly argue with that kind of logic, he knows he'll eventually have to get Ange to move on from her current mindset and understand that they're all dead.

Battler hugged her a little tighter against him.]

I can understand why they're doing it.... everyone in the afterlife should move on eventually. Even so... I can't say I approve of them doing this behind your back like that.

I don't want you to disappear either so... that's a little... scary to hear, I suppose.

I understand too. That's why I haven't tried to stop them. Hinata-- I trust Hinata. I trust him to say something but he hasn't. I talked to him and he just smiled like an idiot like nothing was wrong. He doesn't feel guilty about lying to me.

What happens when they get to me? Nothing feels right and my problems aren't something that can be solved like that. Even if they were I wouldn't be able to because I have to save you. Knowing that they're doing that, that everyone I care about in this world is going to--

[ Yuri's throat catches for a moment. It hurts and she's not used to talking about her feelings. At all. She doesn't know how to do this. She swallows. Battler can probably feel her shaking slightly. She wants to cry so badly but she won't let herself. ]

Edited 2012-10-15 08:57 (UTC)

[He knows exactly how she feels.

In his world he has no one besides Ange. He has Beato, sure, but she's not the person that he's in love with, even if he was told he should be with her. No, in his world the only other person that's really there for him is his sister, everyone else are either dead or are wanting him dead as well.

Battler grabs the edges of his cape, and he's going to just wrap that around her too. He wants her to feel protected, to feel that she has someone that won't ever leave her. He does feel bad about her saying that she needs to save him, the fact that he needs saving in the first place is just.... wrong.]

It's alright... you don't have to talk anymore. [he pauses for a moment before speaking up again.] I won't leave tonight either... I'll stay here, if you'll let me. We could both.... probably use some company right about now. [he just doesn't want to leave her right now.]

I don't want to be alone again.

[ Her voice came out small and as she said it, she turned so she could wrap her own arms around Battler, burying her face in his neck. She wouldn't cry. If he was here, even though everything inside of her felt like everyone was being torn away from her.. if Battler was here it'd be okay, right? Battler and all of her friends on the community... ]

Don't leave me alone.

[ Even though it was a demand, her words didn't come out as instructive as they normally would have. The vaguest hint of a plea scratched at the back of her throat. She didn't want him to leave. Ever. But if she had to just settle for tonight, then... ]

[This is so different than what he's used to... she's usually so strong, she usually has everything together, but it seems like the idea of being left alone isn't like anything she's ever experienced before. He simply holds her, and he closes his eyes as he mulls things over.]

I won't leave you.

[He has to go back to his world eventually, but for tonight he'll stay with her. She's desperately wanting to save him, and yet in order to do that she'll have to stay behind while everyone else moves on... he's so pathetic in that sense. He wonders though, if she does eventually get to move on... then that means he'll be the one left alone.

Such thoughts frighten him, and he squeezes her a little bit more at the idea.]

[ But it is something she's experienced before. She knows what it feels like to have people you truly care about taken away from you. She knows what it's like to be happy one day and then be completely alone every day after that. Except this time it isn't sudden. It isn't wrong. The only things in common are going to be that she's the only one left, all alone, and that there's nothing she could do about it.

Helpless. Useless. Every time she tried to save or help Battler, it was just shoved in her face more that she could never do anything. Against Naoi, she was the one who needed to be saved. Against the evil Angel, she'd been the one to come limping back to the group and when she'd finally found a way to do something there, the repercussions managed to break even what she'd thought was possible in the afterlife and put a girl in a coma.

That pain was settling in again and the only way to stop it would be to be the bad guy, which isn't something she can do to them. That's the problem with caring too much. It mean you let go when you know you're doing more harm than good. ]

I love you.

[ She'd figured that out a while ago, but she'd never once told him. With everything feeling like it was slipping away... she wanted him to at least know. At least to hear it from her, if he already did know. Just in case she couldn't save him, like she couldn't hold onto anyone else, at least... At least he'd know. ]

[He knew that she had feelings for him, that much was painfully obvious. Still, he had never heard her mention such a thing to him, so upon hearing those words spoken to him Battler's eyes went a little wide. His gaze went downward, looking at her form as she held him. She really was.... hurting badly, wasn't she? It was useless, so damn useless. He couldn't do anything to heal her besides stay with her like this and tell her it'll be alright.

Battler's heart clenched when he thought about this, and he relaxed a bit more from his tensed state. What could he do...? He needed to think more about this. He didn't want her to disappear, and she didn't want to be alone... in the end though, they can never truly be together. This is nothing more than a temporary relationship, she'll eventually disappear and he'll go on living without her.

What a joke.]

I love you too.

[He would need to speak to someone about this, he had an idea. Perhaps... even after she disappears there was some insurance that she'll still be Yuri... it would be better. Maybe Bern will have some insight about this.]

[ Yuri stays quiet for a good while after that, just holding onto him without letting go. Somehow even if her insides felt like they were screaming and he heart wanted to stop, just hearing Battler's words calmed her just a tiny bit. She almost said it again, just so that he would say it back once more like a magical healing spell, but that would be silly.

Yuri knew she'd need it a lot more the more that this situation went on. She didn't know if the magic would wear off. She hoped it never would, but it wasn't something she'd felt before. Those three words, when she hated hearing them before when she still wanted to refuse him, she loved them almost as much as she loved him. ]

Everyone's talking about wedding's lately... Too bad you can't marry dead people. [ She's trying to joke, at least. To lighten the mood. It won't make her feel better, but she's hoping it'll make Battler feel better. If she can see him smile then maybe she might be able to smile back. ]

[If he knew that she wanted it to be said more, he would repeat it over and over, he's not afraid to show his emotions like this. He cares for her more than anything, he'd do anything for her, and the fact that she's hurting.... dammit, it pisses him off so much.

But he does offer a tiny smile at her words.]

I could, but then I'd probably be arrested.

Gross, I can't believe my boyfriend's a necrophiliac.

[ Yuri smiles back. It's a tired smile, but it's still a smile. Even with all this going on, she still wants to see the people she cares about happy. That's probably why she hasn't gone out and kicked Otonashi's ass in the first place. She knows it's right and that it's the only way to make sure they're smiling for real. ]

Magic yourself pajamas already. [ She doesn't want to let go and that might be kind of a problem if he tried to change manually. ]

[Oh fine fine, he snaps his fingers and soon that cape of his, along with his suit, have disappeared. They've been replaced with a tank top and some pajama bottoms it seems.]

There, is this better?

[ Yuri nods. Even though she knows Battler could easily teleport out of there or snap his fingers and get his clothes back on, seeing him ready for bed and not at all ready to leave is comforting. He's staying here. Yuri likes that. ]

A lot better. [ She pauses for a moment. Maybe they should just stay up all night. Even if she was tired... ] Are you going to be gone when I wake up?

[he shakes his head a little.]

I have to go back eventually but... I won't leave right away either.

I know. [ Should she say it? It's too corny, too cliche, too embarrassing but... Yuri's voice lowers to a mutter. ] I just don't want to wake up and you're gone, so even if you have to leave after that I don't care.

[you're talking to the master of corny lines. Battler smiles at that though.]

I won't leave until you're awake.

[ And yet they still make her feel embarrassed. Which might be why she feels the need to follow up with a much ruder comment. ]

If you did I'd have to come hunt you down and then the witches would get all depressed because you got killed by your girlfriend instead of while doing something in their game.
