20th Combo - [Voicemail to Mithos] [Video]

[There is so much anxiety in Lloyd's face and voice when he makes the call to his friend. He needs to see Mithos, no matter what Zelos said.]

Mithos? Mithos, please pick up. It's Lloyd. Please... Just tell me you're all right.

Lloyd... Lloyd, where are you?!

redcladidealist: (Sigh)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-06 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm at Zelos's apartment, but I'm heading home now.

[He's fine, Zelos. Just a fractured arm and some stubborn aches that refuse to be healed by First Aid. He's not going to stay in your apartment and be babied - especially when he absolutely can't rest until he's seen Mithos himself.]

Mithos, you're not answering my question.

[That and the sound of Mithos breaking is setting off all sorts of alarm in his head.]

I...

You...

There was so much blood... Lloyd...!
redcladidealist: (Wince)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-06 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He can tell that, and it's making the anxiety in his gut only knot things even tighter.]

I'm fine. Zelos healed me and I'm coming home. Where are you? Are you in your room?
redcladidealist: (Whoa really?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-06 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually makes Lloyd's steps falter, and he stops.]

You don't... know? You mean you're lost?

Tell me what's around you. Maybe I can help figure out where you are.
redcladidealist: (Eh?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-06 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
...Mithos?

[It is becoming more and more clear that Mithos is very much Not Okay.]

Mithos, talk to me. Or use your Dreamberry so I can see what you're near.

[identity profile] martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
...I think... I think I'm near the lake.

redcladidealist: (I'm ready)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-06 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be right there. Just stay where you are.

[He's changing direction and heading straight there as fast as he can without running. He'd run, too except his fractured arm protests being jostled that much.

Give him one good excuse, though...]
redcladidealist: (Oh wow it's huge!)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-06 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes longer than he would have liked, but Lloyd finally makes it to the lake, and there, he can see a figure with blond hair waiting. Holding his arm to his chest to keep from jostling it, he can't wave, but he still raises his voice.]

Mithos!
redcladidealist: (Up at the stars)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd, on the other hand, has no such qualms. He's not thinking of Mithos as his enemy at all, not even thinking of him as older. He's thinking of him as a friend, a friend who'd sounded distressed.

As soon as they draw near, Lloyd looks him over with his eyes, searching for anywhere he might be hurt. His eyes finally settle on Mithos's face.]

Mithos, are you all right?
redcladidealist: (Alone)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-16 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[The hug startles him a little, but there's only a moment of hesitation before he hugs Mithos back.]

Hey, it's all right. I'm here.

[Mithos's shoulders feel so small, it's almost a surprise to remember that he's supposed to be fourteen. Those shoulders are trembling - what happened?]

Mithos, talk to me.
redcladidealist: (Up at the stars)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-16 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Lloyd stills for a moment, then hugs Mithos tighter, as though with a hug he can take every bit of pain and fear away. He hugs him so tight that it isn't Mithos clinging.

His arm aches, still fractured, but he ignores it.]

Don't worry, Mithos. I'm fine. I promise. Zelos healed me.
redcladidealist: (First of all...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-16 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
What? What do you mean?

[He doesn't get it. He doesn't understand. He was unconscious, he didn't see what happened. He offers a reassuring smile, not realizing what's going on.]

He just took me home so he could heal me and I could rest. He wouldn't just leave me in the street.

[identity profile] martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com 2011-10-18 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
No!



He picked you up and left. He flew away with you, despite anything I said...!
redcladidealist: (Eh?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-18 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[But it still doesn't make sense. In fact, it makes even less sense than before, when he thought he knew what was wrong. His smile fades as he searches Mithos's face.]

Flew away? How did-?

[No, that's not important. It's Mithos's anger and distress he should be thinking about instead. He speaks slowly, trying to piece everything together.]

What was wrong with that? Why didn't you want him to take me away?

[identity profile] martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com 2011-10-21 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Because he doesn't want us to be--



...because we don't like each other, Lloyd!
redcladidealist: (Whoa really?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-21 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd blinks in surprise. He hadn't seen that coming at all.]

You don't? Why not?

[Wait. Lloyd gives Mithos a cautious, searching look. He doesn't like to bring this up, doesn't like to remind himself, but...]

He doesn't... know you're Yggdrasill, does he?
redcladidealist: (I'm sorry...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-31 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[And suddenly it now makes sense - or at least he thinks he knows what's going on.]

So, he thinks you're still our enemy. I'll have to talk to him...
redcladidealist: (Whoa really?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2011-10-31 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Lloyd lifts his head, looking at Mithos.]

Why not?
