vatheon | 14th Combo

Who: Lloyd, Zelos, and later maybe Angelo?
Where: Lloyd's apartment
When: Backdated to after this.
Style: [action] for speed
Status: Closed.

[Consciousness comes slowly and sluggishesly to Lloyd when the light filtering in through his blinds finally registers through his closed eyes. Groaning, he rolls over, trying to go back to sleep. He succeeds for a while...

...and never notices when Kratos slips out of the room.

Eventually, though, he can't ignore his body's demands. The pounding in his head only makes it even worse when he staggers out of bed. He feels like he crashed a Rheaird again, only this time he was under it when it happened. Ugh, what happened?

And why did the bathroom have to be downstairs?

He presses the heals of his palms to his temples, trying to alleviate the spikes of pain in his head. It takes way too long to stumble down the stairs, and he's never wished more than now that the stairs had rails to lean on.

By the time he reaches the bathroom to empty his bladder, though, he almost wishes he'd just fallen and broken his neck. The light of the noon sun coming in from the wide windows hurts. Lloyd groans again. Someone just knock me out.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Zelos can tell his warning's hit home. Honestly the guy's manner is so similar to his own that even he can see it and it worries him to no end. Even if Angelo's gotten the message, Zelos is still going to keep an eye on the situation as it develops.]

Sounds like fun! Lloyd does need something other than red in his wardrobe if you ask me~

[Angelo feels as if he is staring at someone with a personality very close to his own and it troubles him. The templar never even realized before this how close him and Zelos were in terms of personalities. They most certainly had their differences, yet even he could see the similarities.]

You seem to be more aware of Lloyd's tastes, perhaps I may have some suggestions of what he would wear?

[Angelo's not the only one who's noticed the similarities and Zelos doesn't like it, not one bit.]

He's got a pretty terrible sense of fashion so just go with the opposite of whatever he tries to get.

[This isn't strictly true, though.. well, Lloyd does have a terrible sense of fashion, but Zelos can't help but attempt to sabotage this at least a little. Or a lot. Damnit Angelo, you're not a good influence.]

[Even he can tell what Zelos' motives are, since his words are something he'd say similar himself. Though with a small grin, he acts as if he takes heed of Zelos' "advice" and decides to do it.]

I see, thank you for the advice. I'm sure this will help me out tremendously.

[Yeah he doesn't think Angelo's going for it. Oh well, he tried.]

No sweat. Like I said, Lloyd's my best bud so I gotta keep his best interests at heart, y'know?

[Don't you forget it.]

[He's much intelligent than Zelos gives him credit for, as he's able to read other people's motives and deals.]

Yes, I'm very aware of that. I will do the same from now on.

[Their talk and those words are ones he'll never forget.]

[Completely oblivious to the conversation the two had had without him, Lloyd comes back into the kitchen, a black pair of pants in his hand, slightly rumpled as though they hadn't been folded quiet properly before being stuffed in a drawer. In his other, he's holding a pair of suspenders.]

Okay, Zelos, here you go. I brought some suspenders, too, just in case. Go ahead, try them on.

[He holds them out to the redhead.]

Suspenders?!

[Yes that was an epic whine. He can't be seen in suspenders! Still, he takes the pants and pulls them on. Luckily with his wider build he doesn't need the suspenders, though the pats do sag slightly to sit on his hips instead of at his waist.]

Well it'll work until I get home. Thanks Bud~♥

[He hears the epic whine and it makes a ringing noise in his ears, while also reminding him of a someone from home. A prince he once knew that complained and whined about everything, but he doesn't speak word and only watches the two talking.]

Hey, I said they were just in case.

[Lloyd rubs his temples. Zelos's whine makes his head hurt.]

You're welcome. Just... can you keep your voice down?

[He glances toward the stairs. He is so strongly tempted to go back to sleep.]

So mean, Lloyd! Telling me to shut up.

[Of course now he's just being annoying for its own sake, and maybe it'll get Lloyd to think twice before he drinks strange concoctions offered to him by shady gamblers.]

[Angelo is laughing to himself from where he's sitting, still watching the two in silence. He wants so badly to chime in, but it's been more amusing to watch them.]

[Look who's talking about being mean. Lloyd winces, head pounding again. He tries pressing the heels of his hands to his head.]

Ugh, I just don't want you being so loud. Can't you just be happy you're in my pants? I could have left you standing half naked, you know.

[Brain-to-mouth filter is shot.]

[Pfff. Lloyd. Lloyd please.]

True~ But then you'd be stuck with half naked me in your kitchen~ And it's totally your fault anyway! I was just trying to help. So cruel Lloyd, so cruel~

[He may or may not be having fun teasing you, whoops.]

[Yeah Angelo's just laughing right now, mostly to himself because really this is too much for him. These two are pure comedy gold.]

Just trying to help kill me, you mean.

[Okay, he's being overdramatic. Tomatoes aren't ~~quite~~ that bad. But he's really not feeling charitable right now. Loaning Zelos his pants is about as much as he can manage this morning.]

Do me a favor next time and just stab me instead. Then you can save your pants and my mouth.

[Right, he's had enough of being coherent.]

I'm going back to bed.

[Pff, oh honestly! Still, baby's first hangover can't be pleasant so he'll cut Lloyd a little slack.]

Alright, alright, go on, but make sure to drink plenty of water when you get up again. That'll make you feel better, even if you won't drink the tomato juice.

[He gathers his martyred pants and folds them over one arm.]

I'll get out of your hair. I still expect to see you at work later though, Angelo!

[He shoots a glance at Lloyd's roommate, wordlessly reaffirming everything in their previous, private conversation with cold eyes even as a grin stays plastered on his face.]

Take care you two.

[He can tell Zelos' emotions even with that smile plastered on his face, those cold eyes are very noticeable. But he's going to just act like it doesn't bother him, because it doesn't.]

Yes sir, I'll be in at the same time tomorrow.

[Lloyd grouses again about that tomato juice, but more to himself than to either of them. But he's intent on bed, so he just lifts a hand.]

Okay, see you later, Zelos.

[And with that he heads off to go stuff his head under a pillow.]
