Appointment Post 2.0 since the other is pretty full



[Voice]
Hey, couldn't get to the comm right away, probably out kicking things. Since that doesn't last long, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, eh?

[Written]
Have a haiku.

There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

[Sighing deeply, knowing he's already caught. He rubs his still runny nose with his sleeve, before pulling his knees up to his chest.] I--I didn't mean to listen in. It's just, I heard my name and thought-- [shakes his head hard] It doesn't matter. I shouldn't have stayed. Sorry 'bout that...

[And he's... just not going to react on that last line, except maybe for tightening his grip on his knees. Because he's really starting to doubt this about himself. Should he even really be here at all? He's not sure anymore.]

[This Sabo ball is a ball of misery. But he's had at least five years worth of keeping things to himself, of coping by himself, so he's managing not to break down. Or not yet. Things are still confusing. He'll probably feel more terrible later after he thinks things through.

Still, he can't let Marco worry, not when he's just trying to help. So Sabo swallows through dry throat and tries out Marco's advice about lying with a straight face.]
Y-yeah. I mean, I'm worried about you guys fighting like that, but me? I'll be okay, uh... in a while.

[Welp, that much is true at least, though how long is 'in a while' even he's not sure.]

[Sabo's head snaps up and he just stares at Marco with wide eyes. Looks like his deflection worked, er-- maybe a little too well. Because this? This isn't the reaction he was expecting.]

E-eh? Five and a-- NO, wait a minute! I'm not saying you guys'll quit being nakama, geez. That's like saying you're not gonna be family anymore and that's crazy talk! I-I just meant... [sighs and slumps against the tree] I'm more worried about how and why that fight started...
sailedfirst: ([serious] so what)

[Oh man, Sabo's also trying to evade stuff here... But he scratches his cheek, wondering how much he could share right now.]

That's what I don't get, I guess. Why it exploded the way it did. Because y'know, earlier, Ace and I were just talking about... [dying and the issues that come with it but he can't say it like that. and well, maybe Marco'll get it anyway] --uh, about being here and how it gets tough sometimes... and that talk ended on a good note. So I'm wondering, what happened to change all that?
sailedfirst: ([worry] what now)

[For a long moment, the blue flames in Marco's hands had him transfixed; but he catches himself and looks away, lips pressed tightly together. Now isn't the time remembering a different fire, though Marco's analogy isn't really helping, even if Sabo agrees with it.]

...He's always been like that, even before he became a fire human. More on the explode-y side and I think... maybe it worked for him? He'd lash out whenever he's angry and sometimes it'd take days, weeks before his mood changes, but... the time between 'em gets longer every time, and he'd mellowed out a lot by the time Luffy came along. Maybe he hasn't got the chance to be as angry as he wants here as much? Like, maybe he didn't want to worry you or Luffy? I--I don't know... [Rubs his eyes tiredly.] Sorry, Marco. Everything I know's a bit outdated.

[Sighs and looks at Marco.] ...'Sides, aren't you fire too? [He noticed all those deep breaths, bro. Sabo doesn't think Marco's the exploding type, but facing all this in one day isn't good.] ...We don't have to talk about this now, y'know.

[Taking his hat off completely and setting it aside; he'd need more hair ruffles through out this talk.] ...I don't know what to do, either. I... I wanted to think I know how to help, considering we're both-- [shakes his head] but the circumstances are too different. And I still don't completely understand what happened in the future to lead to that so-- [wow, the helplessness is punching him in the face right now] If you who'd been there seeing what he went through, and suffering too along the way, can't get to him... there's no way I can be helpful. Not with that.

[Clings, because ugh why is life so hard right now.]

...I'm not giving up on him. He's my first real friend, Marco. There's no way I'd leave him like this, no matter how dumbass he's being. It's just... it's hard living through this. I can't blame him for feeling hopeless sometimes, 'cause there's nothing else for us but this place, and it keeps screwing us up. It's a choice between sucking it up, or nothing. But it's really hard...

[Curling up more in Marco's hug.] He's way stronger than me now, and he's lived through a lot s-so... whenever he loses hope like that, I...I feel like giving up too. I hate feeling that way, but... [why can't things be simpler like when they were both kids?]

...Yeah, agreed. [Lightly patting Marco's back; sometimes Sabo forgets the eldest bro needs comfort too. Which is also partly why he chuckles a little.] We should get Luffy to kick his ass this time. He'd always hated it whenever Luffy makes sense about something, y'know. Then again, that goes for me too! [Because when Luffy's right about something, that usually means you're being incredibly, unbelievably dumb about it.

But he goes quiet again for the next part, remembering how many times this place hurt him already and he's here for barely half a year.]
...Do you really think we can?
