13th Combo - [Video]

[A letter. That's what Lloyd had come home to. A letter. A letter and a suddenly empty apartment, all of Zelos's things just... gone. Lloyd stands there, still numbly holding the letter. Things had been strained between them ever since he'd found out. Found out that Zelos was dead. And how. Why. But he hadn't seen this coming.

Moved out.

Gone.

His thoughts feel broken and stilted. Zelos was gone.

Squeezing his eyes shut, the teen drops heavily into a chair.]

Dammit...

[For a long time all he does is just sit there, too many emotions lodged in his throat and his head to manage anything else. Finally, he pulls his Dreamberry out. He probably looks as bad as he feels - guilty, miserable. Angry. - but he honestly doesn't care. He needs to say something, even if it's stupid and childish.]

Somebody hit Zelos when you see him.

[Lloyd falters. He's lost now - and not certain he wants to change that. He's too curious to let it just drop though. Dammit...]

...what do you mean?

What you were doing in that dream? I had to do that.

For the exact same reasons.

[redcladidealist]

[He was right. That... wasn't what he'd wanted to hear. Of all the ways to be like Lloyd...]

Oh. I... I'm sorry...

It's fine. But his sister is the one who's suffering.

You're as alone in that, at least.

[redcladidealist]

No, I'm not. I'm not the only one who's suffering. Zelos has a sister, too. If he's dead, she's probably really sad.

[He's never met her, but he can't comprehend someone not feeling sad to lose a sibling.]

...People don't think.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd glares off to the side, though there's not as much heat in it as before.]

Especially not if they're Zelos.

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

Right. Well, I'll have fun punching him if that's any consolation.
