[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[Myst]

"I know... I just don't want to seem like Blaze and get all worked up..." I reply calmly.

I grow frustrated, waiting for a reply, and hang up the phone. I almost throw my phone across the wall when I remember that I probably shouldn't break my phone again.

I sit on my couch and crack open a can of beer. I take a long swig while mindlessly watching TV.

 

[Naiad]

"Trust me, it's almost impossible to get onto Blaze's level of violence and anger. Besides, it's good to vent."

 

[Myst]

"I guess..."

"I just don't want to burden anyone with my issues... Especially not you... You've had enough to deal with on your own..."

 

[Naiad]

".... You mean Blaze, right?" I smile weakly. "I'm getting better, Mace. Really, I am. Anyway, your problems are more important right now."

 

[Myst]

At an attempt at a joke, I say, "Don't get me started on Blaze... we have quite a bit of... history between us."

I smile. "Thanks, Sai. You're too good of a person to be stuck with all these issues."

 

[toxapex]

"Hi..." I say, hugging her, still sleepy from having just woken up.

 

[Naiad]

"I'm not a good person, Mace. I make as many stupid decisions as the next guy, probably even more."

I set down my coffee. "Yup. History. History that we're going to leave behind because you've grown into something better. Past decisions are rarely a good reflection of who are now."

 

[Myst]

"I know... But I want you to know that if I ever see his face again, I will not be able to stop myself from... killing him. He's hurt way too many people... I can't let more get hurt."

I push Helix's arm off me. "I need to take a shower, silly."

 

[Naiad]

"... I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way."

I set my cup down on the table. "Now, back to the topic at hand..."

 

[toxapex]

"Oh, yeah. Me too." I mutter, remembering what we did.

 

[Myst]

I smirk. "Want to join me?"

I sip my coffee. "Well, how should I respond? Do I punish them? I really am at a loss of how to react to this..."

 

[Naiad]

"I.... wouldn't punish them, but a talk is in order."

 

[toxapex]

I smile. "But if I joined you, the purpose of the shower itself would probably be lost..."

 

[Myst]

"What do you think I should say? Sorry but I just... never understood love, much less intimacy..."

- - - Post Merge - - -

"Not really." I climb out of the bed, allowing the blanket to fall off, and shiver once the cold air hits my bare skin.

 

[Naiad]

".... And I'm a failure in it." I bite my lip. "Well, protection is a must, right?"

 

[Myst]

"I already made that clear with them. What else?"

 

[toxapex]

"Oh, well if you don't think so..." I get up and walk with her to the shower.

 

[Naiad]

"..... Locking doors."

 

[Myst]

I turn on the shower and wait for it to heat up.

"But... I can't trust them to be together until I know the guy more... Is it bad if I limit their alone time?"

 

[Naiad]

"What sort of limits?"
