#its just to soon to realise

[notyetaghost]

One of the worst feelings

That i have ever felt

    Is to be alone in your solitude

And to hear the laughter of others

Right outside your door

    In theory you could join them

Sit them and stay with their company

But you wont feel it

The warmth of their smiles and laughter

    You love them, truly you do

But you do not like them

You do not trust them

    It's a funny irony the two

You feel love without like or trust

But is that not what family is?

    I do not need to like you

To know your favourite colour is yellow

To know how you like your coffee

    Yet i can and will never

Feel safe in your space

You raised me, you don't know me

    If you knew me you would cast me aside

Tear me off like a limb caught in a trap

Is that not why I don't trust you?

    

I could not ask you to change for me

You are to set in your ways to change for mine

And yet i hear the laughter outside my room

I cannot join for it hurts more

To be there and unfeeling that it does

To be alone and numb

V, JoeNicky & Nile

V. An abandoned or empty place.

When Joe pulls the sheet off the couch it kicks up enough dust that it makes Nile sneeze. The couch underneath is old, wooden frame rotting, fabric stained and full of holes where moths have eaten away at it. 

“Sorry,” Joe says to Nile when she finally manages to get the sneezing under control. “Didn’t realise it was that bad.” He puts his hands on his hips and looks down at the couch. Nile looks it over.

“There’s no saving that,” she says, wiping at her eyes. She can heal from falling over ten stories, but she can’t get away from allergies.

Joe frowns. “I liked that couch.”

The house is older than anywhere else they’ve brought her, and has been abandoned for long enough that it’s falling apart. But through some trick of posing as their own sons, or something, Joe and Nicky still own it, even if there’s a giant hole in the roof and all the windows are broken. Why they’d decided to come back here, Nile doesn’t know, but it’s a nice enough area, and a good distraction from, well. Everything. Growing back a leg, she’s discovered, is not fun. 

From one of the other rooms – she thinks it’s the kitchen, she’s not actually sure where Nicky had wandered to – there’s the sound of something breaking and crashing to the ground, and a muffled curse. 

Joe makes a questioning noise in the vague direction of the kitchen. A few moments later, Nicky appears in the doorway, covered in dust. “I am okay,” he says. “But I think we will need to go out to eat tonight.”

“Nothing?” 

Nicky shakes his head. “Unless you want to start a fire and go hunt some rabbits.”

Joe grins. “Just like old times, right?”

Nile shakes her head firmly, which makes Nicky smile. She loves them, but there’s no way they’re doing that. 

“We can probably clear out enough space in here,” Joe says, gesturing to the floor. “Get the sleeping bags out of the car. Probably have to start a fire anyway, but…”

Nile looks around again while Joe says something to Nicky in Arabic that makes him laugh. The house is falling apart, sure, but it’s structurally stable, and the bones are all there. It could be something. They’ve got time to make it something. 

Nicky is the one who goes for pizza in the end – he doesn’t trust Nile and Joe to order it if left to their own devices – while they try to clear out a space in the living room. Eventually, though, after Nile has another sneezing fit, Joe suggests they just take the sleeping bags outside instead, which works out a lot better. He sets about starting a fire with practiced ease while Nile sets out the sleeping bags around it. They’re far enough away from civilisation that she can’t hear cars passing by, which is kind of surreal, and the stars are brighter than she’s ever seen them. 

When Nicky gets back, two boxes balanced on one arm and a bottle of wine in the other, he looks over their makeshift camp and laughs. “Just like old times, then?” he asks.

Joe grins. “Except we have pizza.”

“And actual sleeping bags,” Nile says.

“Ah, these modern inventions could never quite match the comfort of a pile of furs,” Joe says wistfully. Nile gives him a look. She’s ninety percent sure that one’s bullshit, but she can never quite tell with him. 

Nicky sets down the pizza boxes, and jogs back to the car to grab the pack of plastic wine glasses they’d bought before they got here. 

“We should’ve bought marshmallows,” Nile says. “Could have made s’mores.”

“Well, we’ll have to go to the hardware store tomorrow anyway,” Joe points out. “And I think it’ll be a little while before we can actually sleep in there.”

“Tomorrow, then?”

“Tomorrow,” Nicky agrees.

Day Twenty One: Memory

People depict Chief as serious, because of how he was shown in the flashback scene. But maybe he is more or less similar to the Mayor. A silly guy, trying to be positive while the empire he lives in suffers.

But the moment a certain someone comes and says they can save everything and create a better world, especially when the emperor has been nothing short of an arsehole... Well... The Chief would certainly take the only chance to make his empire a better place, right?

"What was it like living with Barky?" versus a man sighing with his full body ready to go to war and protect the privacy of his very private teammate yet again and reveal nothing that hasnt already been talked about previously

"like people ask me even teammates they're like how is barky like? what does he do in his freetime? even guys that been playing with him for years, they're— (exasperated)" "ekblad said he's never been to his house." "(laughs) yeah, I think he really wants to go to his house."

conclusion hes just a normal guy absolutely to popular belief
