[urbandev]

Well, barring the unpleasantness a few days ago, the holidays in the City have actually been quite pleasant.

I hope everyone is recovered from the other day, and additionally, thanks to everyone who sent me a gift on the 25th. I appreciate it immensely.



How are you?



Ciss, may we talk?



Did you make it home unharmed?



Last night was wonderful. Thank you.

Yes, Reeve?

I'll just be blunt about this. Reno is being an idiot.

Same Filter; Private

[farfalla-rossa.livejournal.com]

Ah, that subject. He was being a little stubborn, yes, but we've talked about things since then.

Though, I know my own behavior wasn't the best...

You could have handled it better. But so could he.

--If you two have reached an actual solution, I'll back out now.

Private

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Yes. It was a long walk and my luck kicked in again.

Private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Good. I mean, I'm glad to hear it.

Private

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Did you have a good time with Anita?

Private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

We had a lovely evening, yes.

Private

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Good. You make her happy and you're a good man. I can see that.

Treat her well.

Private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I will.

Private

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

It was nice meeting you last night.

Private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

You too, Mat. Thanks for being there for her.

Private

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

It's what friends do.

Private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

How am I usually?

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

...Not coy.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Problem here is that I don't know what I feel.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Ah.

You're not a bad person for wishing him back.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I want him back. I don't want him back. I'm scared of what he'll see. And I'm terrified that he hates me. I'm glad he gets to go home, and I am sad that I can't see him except as a memory back there.

I just... am tired.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Zack would never hate you, Cloud.

Why don't you come over tonight? With Tseng gone we've got the living room and television back.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

He certainly gets pretty mad at me here.

I guess I could.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

He loves you.

I'll see if I can get that ridiculous movie of Lestat's and make Vincent get popcorn on his way home?

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

He's my best friend.

...Lestat gave me all his books a few weeks ago. I still haven't read them.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Same idea.

Would you rather something else?

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

No. I think I could stomach the movie better than trying to read it.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

I was thinking less "stomach" and more "mock mercilessly."

Shall we keep this small, or alert people?

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Mock?

Maybe alert some people. I don't know.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

The movie's supposed to be terrible.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Makes me feel curious already.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

...I feel like this will either be hilarious or we'll really end up regretting it.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Are you well?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I am. You?

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Very.

I think I'm going to start begging you for forgiveness now, though. Vincent and I are coralling Cloud for the evening.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that.

Oh?

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

I hope Vincent will help. I can't exactly control Cloud by myself.

He's just in a hole since Zack left. Frankly, I'm amazed I managed to coax him out of the apartment.

You don't mind if I leave you to your own devices tonight?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how he was doing. I didn't know if I should ask him or not. It kinda isn't my place anymore.

So am I, if he's trying to hole himself up like usual.

Not at all. I had something to do tonight anyway.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

He still values you as a friend, you know. I'm sure he'd appreciate the concern.

..Although let's wait before sounding the trumpets. Two flights of stairs is not an incredible victory.

Enjoy yourself.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

It is if Cloud's concerned. What did you boys have planned?

Promise I will. Just doing some shopping.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

We've gotten ahold of that movie of Lestat's and we're planning to ridicule it. As Cloud said, it's faster than reading the books.

Is it too much if I say I'm going to miss you?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Oh good Lord. That thing is horrid. Make sure you put something down in front of the tv so you can throw popcorn at the screen without making too much of a mess.

... it's sappy.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully the mocking and flinging of food will revive him a little bit.

You'll just have to live with the sap, then.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. Tell him I'm making him spar with me sometimes soon, too.

I think I can handle it.

private

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

I'll pass on the message.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetheart.

Have fun playing with the boys.
