buy yourself another day

[impetuous]

Who: Gwaine and you
What: Random encounters
When: Saturday morning
Where: Near the gallery in town


[ Wearing modern clothing for once (sweatpants and a T-shirt that aren't his), Gwaine bounces a small, pink ball against the wall. Whenever it strikes something—wall, ground or his hand—lights arc inside it. A curious little toy, but Gwaine barely looks at it. He sits on the middle step, eyes unfocused. To any observer, his mind appears to be elsewhere. He has managed to recover a semblance of healthy coloring, but the bags under his eyes mark how fitful his sleep remains. He finds it difficult to concentrate on even simple tasks. Thus he misses his next catch and the ball bounces against the door behind him. It rolls away from him. ]

Oh. Zelos. [ Gwaine aims a tired smile at him. ] Mind throwing it back?

[wilder]

[He scrunches his mouth a little, examining Gwaine in distaste. From his Point of view? You look and sound like shit.]

You even well enough to catch it?

[impetuous]

I can catch a ball.

[wilder]

If you say so.

[Light underhand toss for you!]

[impetuous]

[ As Zelos predicted, it hits Gwaine's hand and falls to the side. Gwaine blinks at it. ]

...Shut up.

[wilder]

[a very light snort]

Hearing voices now too? Jeez, what have you been doing.

[impetuous]

[ After fishing it back, Gwaine shoots him a lopsided grin. ]

I actually didn't hear voices, but I did see a lot of things that weren't there.

[wilder]

[vat.]

Uh right. Gonna explain...?

[impetuous]

Don't you know when someone is joking with you? [ Except he really was hallucinating at various points. ]

[wilder]

[another thoughtful gaze, then a shrug]

Sure. Doesn't mean it's less true.

[impetuous]

I'm fine. No voices, no people. [ Anymore. ]

[wilder]

Something happen?

[impetuous]

I was at the clinic a few days, but it's nothing to worry about. Look. I'm still alive.

[wilder]

[A slight pause before he smirks a little]

Heh. You idiot.

[impetuous]

Is that all you people can come up with?

[wilder]

[a shrug]

Dullard and ignoramus seems too advanced for you.

[impetuous]

[ Gwaine throws the ball at Zelos. The throw is weaker than it would be, but he can still aim. ]

[wilder]

[He catches!] Now that was just a sad throw, dude.

[impetuous]

Wait until I'm better. It'll take someone's head off.

[wilder]

Soooo....in about twenty years in that month before you start getting old and feeble? ♥

[impetuous]

Jealousy is an unattractive quality. You can't take it out on me that you don't look half as good with double the effort.

[wilder]

Heh...Did you make sure to get your vision checked out while you were at that clinic?

[impetuous]

Don't have to. Even a blind man can see I'm telling the truth.

[wilder]

[a sigh!]

Now you're just being cruel.

[impetuous]

[ Shrug. Did the lady's feelings get hurt? ]
