Am I missing anybody?

[There's a long pause, and then some background noises of someone moving things around.]

All in my head. MY head. She didn't deserve anything. Survival of the fittest, alien bitch. Teach you to mess with me.

Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it. [Murmured.] Don't talk about it either, Cloud.

...yeah.

[This is Cloud withdrawing, moving to lean against the bed once more, pulling his knee up. See icon for pose.]

[And for once Zack doesn't drag him back again, staying beside him and looking uncomfortable.]

I'm not giving up or bailing on you are anything, but... you know I'm not much help with this stuff.

It's fine.

You don't have to stay.

[wingenvy]

You're not listening to me. [Zack reaches out and drops his hand down on Cloud's head, not quite a pat and not quite a hair ruffle, just kind of... there.] I'm not abandoning you. But you need to ask someone else for help.

I don't want you to stay. [Cloud pulls tighter, presses his head down against his knee.]

Don't want you to see me like this. Hate it. Can never impress the people I want to.

[Zack frowns, looking away.]

Stay with you now, or in the house?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Just...right now.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

....Alright.

[Zack gives him one last touch on his hair, then rises to his feet and heads for the door. He glances back, looking pained, but trying to be understanding.]

I'll stay close. Just... call, if you need me. Please, please call. And get yourself some rest. Better yet, get help. ...I wish there was more I could do.

Just gimme a minute.

[Cloud tightens his arm around his knee.]

Just a minute. I'll be okay. I'll be fine. It'll go away.

[Zack hesitates, standing in the doorway for a moment, then curses and stalks out, resisting the urge to punch something. That's childish, and it's not what Cloud needs to hear right now.

The kids need looking after...]
