[AU -- *spoilers*] Sora/Ikki

[inheritthewind]

[It's funny to think about years passing in a zombie summer camp, but pass they do. People come, people go, people change and, quite tellingly, people stay very much the same.

Very far from the main area as camp, as far as one can get without running into barrier problems, there are sections of forest that have been laid to waste. Uprooted trees, zombie parts flung every which way, ruts dug into the ground by debris. Localized natural disasters are nothing new at Camp Fuck You Die, and, for all of the civilization that the place might have gained, are nothing rare, either.

...someone who knew what to look for would be able to find this particular disaster still hanging around, though, pausing on a small rock outcropping to clean some mud from his A-T.]

[and nearby, in one of the few trees left alone in the area, sits a boy practically gaping at his former mentor, momentarily forgetting that he was, in fact, spying]

Holy shit . . .

*talking, in face, generally causes one to fail at hiding. Sora pauses, straightens up and makes a bit of a face*

...oh, jesus, don't even tell me...

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

[. . . oh shit. takes a step back, and - you know when you've got those rotting branches that crunch REALLY LOUD when you break them? yeah, guess what he just stepped on]

-- shit! [long pause]

*he turns around, looking right at the source of the sound, wearing a blandly patronizingly amused expression*

If you're tryin' for stealth, you're failin' real bad, kid.

[hops down from the tree]

Yeah, I can see that, thanks. I was done here anyway.

*he skates over, a thin grin slicing across his face*

Watchin' people like that without askin' ain't polite.

(frozen)

[considering this is really the first time Ikki's seen Sora up close, not in the wheelchair, it's safe to say he's a little . . . wary. takes a few steps back]

My bad. Next time I'll consider asking.

*for someone who didn't know Sora, they'd see that his entire carriage spoke of nothing but friendly casualness. for someone who did, they'd also see that but know that it didn't make a damn bit of difference for anything.*

Plannin' on a next time already? Man, if this is gonna be a regular sorta thing...

*continues skating forward, beginning to circle around Ikki*

...don't seem quite fair, y'know?

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

[stops when Sora starts to circle him, trying to seem casual, but is actually tensed and ready to get the hell out of there if he have to]

How the hell ain't it fair? I don't remember seeing any signs that said I can't watch.

*he suddenly stops, not taking his eyes off Ikki, his smirk challenging*

...don't suppose you'd have nothin' to show, anyways.

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

[t-twitches a little]

I don't have anything I'd want to show you.

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

*stands there, almost disturbingly still*

...still ain't nothin' but a kid, are you.

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

. . . the fuck does that mean?

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

Means what it sounds like. How fuckin' old are you now? An' you still ain't actin' like more than a piss-in-your-pants middle schooler.

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

I'm not a kid. And besides, like you're one to talk about acting your age.

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

Come back an' watch again when you got some proof of that. In the meanwhile, try to stop hangin' around me so much. People might start gettin' the wrong idea.

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

[snorts] Since when do I have to listen to you?

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

Since when've you stopped listening to me?

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

I don't listen to you.

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*

Just keep on tellin' yourself that.

*and slowly, he begins circling again, lazy-like*

If you had to... how fast do you think you could get outta here?

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

[teeeenses, his stance shifting just slightly]

. . .

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

...well? What do you say?

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

. . . pretty damn fast. If I had to.

[maybe eyeing the way out now]

(frozen)

[inheritthewind.livejournal.com]

*stops again*

Oh, come on... don't tell me you're nervous...

(frozen)

[asthecrow-flies.livejournal.com]

[takes a step back, and if one were paying attention, they might hear the motors kick in on his A-T]

I don't get nervous, Sora-san.
