"i've made a huge mistake" – rhys, probably ([personal profile] jackhole) wrote2016-08-29 05:39 pm

week 13 | monday night

[ so!!! rhys has been in a weird mood all day. after talking to jack's clique (and his subsequent freak out), talking to dave and adrien and then finishing it all with yuno, he's been through the wringer a little and now he's. conflicted.

oh boy is he conflicted.

he's sitting on their bed, legs crossed under him and wearing jack's stupid sweater because he still hasn't given it back since the moment he borrowed it. it's his now, jack. it's his. the thing is it gives him an odd sort of comfort when he's still so... fragile, to put it simply, because jack is here and jack's not leaving and if rhys keeps the sweater jack definitely won't leave -- that's how he's parsing it through in his brain. his fingers thumb at the edges of his sleeves as he curls and uncurls his hands over the surprisingly soft fabric and after a moment, he slowly slides to lay on his side, hugging himself from his curled up position on the bed.

after a bit of silence, rhys will finally call out to jack the question that's on his mind. ]


Jack... what do you know about the aliens?

[ It's a pretty terrible cover, really. Rhys, you're forgetting (or, to be fair, maybe simply don't know) that Jack is just as clingy a dude. Taking up that pillow and hugging it is a gesture that's fairly easy for Jack to read, so after another twirl of the pencil, it's sat down so that he can walk over to take a seat next to Rhys. ]

I mean, just being blunt here, pumpkin. You actually wanting my opinions, or are you wanting to just, I dunno, talk?

[ It sounds like Jack is being self-aware enough to know that he's going to give asshole answers to those questions, but it's not quite that. His opinions are definitely steeped in a bitter, paranoid view, so it might not be what Rhys wants to hear. Though really, Jack asks because he doesn't really have any answers for them. He can make his pessimistic guesses, apply the morality and the behavior that he's seen in his life to this, but ultimately, they'll still be that. Guesses. He's aware enough to know that guesses won't do very well to address questions like that. ]
