Frown until you're satisfied. It won't cause mine to abate.

[ Okay. There's a possibility he's taking this too seriously. But forcing himself to self-examine and realize why is something that he immediately knows he doesn't want to do. So what recourse is left to him? ]

The leeks weren't a lie. When you're finished with your run you can tell me and I'll arrange for you to get them.

[coherer]

I'm sorry, man. I don't have any excuse or whatever, I just didn't feel up to it today. And I slept through my alarm. That started it.

I can still meet up or smth if you want to. I'm legit happy about the leeks, but if I don't deserve them for flaking out then...... charity. I want them donated to a charity.

[eyeforaneye]

[ From his rooftop vantage point, Sasuke takes a deep breath. Peering down at Jonas isn't making him feel any better about his life choices. ]

Stop it, you're eating the leeks.

Tell me why you didn't feel you could go today. You know it's important, so your reason must be too.

[coherer]

(doesn't even think to look up. because he's a bit of a dullard.)

No, please. Take away my nourishment and vitamins. That'll stick it to me real good.

2/3

[coherer]

Ignore that.

Maybe I just don't want people poking around into my business and STALKING ME or like holding me to smth that I've only missed one day of. Am I on trial here? Jesus, I'm

3/3

[coherer]

Ignore that, too.

I have been so irritated lately and I think we both know why that is. Sitting on my ass in class sounded so brutal, so I'm blowing off some steam instead.

[eyeforaneye]

[ This is a fair amount to digest. Still, it all boils down to the same simple truth: Jonas is suffering due to an excess of magic. The possible solutions are limited. ]

I saw you by chance; I'm not stalking you. Though if I thought I needed to follow you around, I would.

Jonas, have you considered a bond? If not that, when I visited Inkchanted they had objects into which magic could be funneled. Perhaps you can drain your own that way.

[coherer]

Saw me by chance and followed me to where I am now. It's kinda weird, but besides the point ig. You're off the hook for now.

(was he ever on the hook? was there ever a hook to begin with? does he give a shit?

no, not right now.)

I've considered it, but idk... I only have a few ppl I'm that close to and idk if they've got any plans so...

[eyeforaneye]

[ He allows this gross mischaracterization of his wholly stationary observation pass by without comment. What's the point in defending himself against accusations of stalking when he openly admits that he'd practice it under any other circumstances? ]

You should act quickly. Ignorance won't be an excuse that your body accepts if things carry on this way.

[coherer]

(........

he really wishes sasuke would go away so he could smack his head down into his watch's face in peace.)

got any plans

[eyeforaneye]

[ looks over the edge of the roof down at him ]

3/3

[eyeforaneye]

[ pulls back...... ]

So there's no miscommunication, you want to bond with me.

1/2

[coherer]

(SMACKS HIS HEAD DOWN INTO HIS WATCH'S FACE.)

You said I was being ignorant by not asking.

So here I am prostrating myself before you for some brief peek of insight into what your plans are, as you pretend like you didn't know this was, in all likelihood, gonna come up eventually.

2/2

[coherer]

Yeah.

[eyeforaneye]

[ He can practically feel the impact from here, and takes a moment to close his eyes. What an awkward situation... Especially now that Jonas is putting this out here so bluntly. There's so much that that bond opens the doors to. Emotions, dreams... ]

I didn't expect it. [ Truth, even if it's naïve. ]

I assumed you would speak to Stiles. I have no plans yet; if anything I've been searching for alternate solutions.

[coherer]

I still want to. And I'm going to. I planned to ask him before he left, but I chickened out.

Why the alternate solutions?

[eyeforaneye]

Good. I believe he'll accept, it's clear that you're close.

[ Yeah. ]

I don't want to bond with anyone if it's possible for me to avoid it. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

[coherer]

Yeah, well, we'll see about that.

(ooooooooooooo.)

What are you gonna do when you go feral?

[eyeforaneye]

[ The energy became vaguely threatening. ]

I'm always aware of that threat, Jonas. Before the next full moon I'll have a solution. If that involves a bond, then so be it.

[coherer]

(stretches out before exhaling heavily, leaning into a walk. he's out of here.)

Don't you think that's a bit too late?

If I wait till after the next full moon I'll literally explode, so I imagine going feral is more like an implosion? Witches explode, monsters implode? Pet theory.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Jonas starts moving and he does little more than watch him go, aware that chasing after him would probably be counterproductive. For both of them.

And the way he speaks of his eventual fate is so plain, so casual, that it feels like a slap in the face. A wake-up call, maybe, to some degree of his own selfishness. ]

I've been feeding and taking care of myself. The full moon is when I know I'll be tested the most. [ ... he needs to be honest with him, like Jonas was in return. ]

I don't want to expose my memories and emotions to someone else. Especially not someone that matters to me.

[coherer]

(his pace is slow, especially after reading that. they're both just trying to look out for one another. if that wasn't obvious before, it certainly is now. they're in a better place in their friendship, but that doesn't mean there still aren't mountains to climb.

jonas thumbs the perspiration from his brow and tries again.)

If anyone could handle it it'd be you, man. I know that, but it's not gonna stop me from worrying.

Memories, emotions, all those things are super private. I'm not gonna twist your arm or try to force you into the commitment that it is....... bc it is a huge one. But I want you to know that I'm stronger than I was and I've got your back. Through whatever.

I wish I'd had the guts to bring this up in a normal way that'd actually mean smth lol

[eyeforaneye]

[ He feels it's time he moved, making it a point to not follow Jonas even as he begins the trek back to his own home. He owes him food, after all. ]

I wanted to believe it wasn't about my privacy and that I was better than that.

The truth is I don't want to share those things. It doesn't mean my concerns don't exist for anyone that would be subjected to them, however. And what you're saying is still meaningful, we just have big decisions ahead of us.

Your safety is still paramount. You'll have a bond before anything happens to you, you can rely on that.

[coherer]

(he never thought about it from that angle, surprised at the honesty of it. would it make sasuke a bad person for not wanting to share what he's been through, keeping his hardship his own? no, it wouldn't. just as jonas would never want to spread his memories, good and bad.

there's a lot to consider... but it doesn't change his mind.)

I get it. There are memories meant only for you. I have those, too. But sharing them with a stranger would be better than sharing them with a friend?

Sorry, that's what I don't understand. I don't think I want to.
