♔ day 17 - school curse ♔

[binarysky]

[The video cuts in abruptly, revealing the ground and wall of a back area of Ohtori, along with a pair of feet. It's as if the communicator was dropped out of someone's pocket and landed just wrongly enough to hit the wrong button, because that's precisely what happened. There is the sound of coughing.]

Ugh—this stuff's gross. How can those guys stand it?

[There's some more grumbling and the puffing sound of a very inexperienced teenager attempting to smoke a cigarette. After a minute, Roxas plops to the ground, coming into view of the camera. He fumbles at his pocket with his free hand and finally notices the device.]

Oh, great. Now I'm definitely going to get detention.


[ooc: schoolboy!Roxas is struggling with the somewhat recent news that he has a long-lost half-brother, and he's dealing by trying to be a bad boy. He is bad...at it.]

[Here is your good-hearted cousin who wants you two to make up. Or at least not ditch class and smoke.]

Roxas...why are you doing this?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap CAUGHT.]

Ummm...because I wanted to try it?

[charmedbymemories]

[Sighhhh.]

Smoking is bad for you. Besides, if it tastes gross, why keep smoking...?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

He doesn't smoke.

[charmedbymemories]

He-- You mean...Sora.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We're not really brothers, not how it counts. So I don't need to be like him!

[charmedbymemories]

Are you really determined to be the complete opposite of him? You can be different from him without needing to smoke.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I'm not trying to do that. I'm just...I don't know, I was just trying it out. It's kinda disgusting anyway.

[charmedbymemories]

I'm glad. That hopefully means you won't start smoking.

...do you want me to give you my notes for the class?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I did start, but I guess I stopped at the same time.

Riku turned in homework for me, but I guess I should learn the material myself, too.

[charmedbymemories]

Yes. I'll help you if you need help.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you guys.

[charmedbymemories]

[A small laugh.]

You'd get in a lot more trouble, that's for sure.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Am I really that bad?

[charmedbymemories]

Just a little bit.

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

So that's where you were.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

[Augh he is in for so much shit, isn't he?]

So what?

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

I get that you don't wanna be like Sora. Good thing that you aren't, too. Doesn't mean you have to act like a moron, though.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I'm not acting like a moron!

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

Sure. You aren't.

So what're you calling this?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Teenage experimentation?

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll get off your back. Just don't get in trouble.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

[score]

They're gross anyway.

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

If the taste's anywhere near what it smells...

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

It's worse.

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

Well, what did you expect?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Those other guys don't act like it's gross when they smoke!

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

There's no use trying to imitate anyone, Roxas. You're better than them.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, shut up.

[afterlighted.livejournal.com]

I will when you stop being an idiot.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Then you shouldn't be talking. [Same here, bro.]

[faroffdream.livejournal.com]

Hey...you know that stuff's bad for you.............right?

[ derp derp derp ]

➥audio➥➥

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

What do you care?

➥audio➥➥ 1/2

[faroffdream.livejournal.com]

Hey, I care!

➥audio➥➥

[faroffdream.livejournal.com]

[ oops but the defensive tone probably was a mistake ]

I mean...why else would I be talking to you?

Stop feeling all obligated to be friends. You're not really my brother, just because we have the same dad who didn't even stick around.
