BANGING DOWN THE DOOR NOW

[sacred_flamer]

Characters: Luke and Asch
Setting: Asch's dorm room.
Format: Action tags
Summary: Now that everyone is back to normal, Luke feels it's the best time to break down Asch's door and beat the hell out of him for keeping secrets.
Warnings: Redheads yelling at each other. Need I say more?

[Luke seemed to have a look of rage plastered on his face that seemed to be more appropriate on his original's face. Considering that his destination was in fact his original's dorm room, it probably didn't take much to realize why he was so annoyed. Once outside his room, his fist came up, pounding on the door so hard it looked more like he wanted to beat it off the hinges.]

Asch! Get out here! Right now!

Because of that same fon slot connection that you're so set on.

[SIGH this being comfortable thing isn't happening.]

My memories are still fuzzy, but if I had to guess, it's because you were the first person he learned to trust.

[Psst hey Luke, read between the lines a bit, why dontcha.]

[sacred_flamer]

[...this was going to take a lot of getting used to. But... then again, future Asch had said he was easily adaptable...]

Well, you're just going to have to learn to trust me then. I know I haven't earned it yet, but I'm trying to do my best to be a better person... and not just for my own sake.

[bloodyashes]

You say that like it's easy.

[Probably because for Luke, it actually is that easy.]

[sacred_flamer]

Sometimes things are that easy. You just have to let it be.

[bloodyashes]

And some things aren't. This is one of them.

[Just... shaking his head slightly. You don't get it, Luke.]

I don't give trust so easily to the people that I actually like. What makes you think you deserve it?

[sacred_flamer]

[Luke paused, his eyes drifting away from his original for a moment.]

I am you... you are me...

[He shook his head, speaking up again before Asch could ask him what he meant by that.]

We're different people; we've grown up different ways, but I still come from you. Who... can you trust, but a part of yourself?

[Luke frowned a bit, poking his toe at the ground.]

I know I didn't make the best first impression, but... I-I'm trying hard to be a better person. Maybe someday I'll be better enough that you don't regret me being around.

[bloodyashes]

[He'll drag that one out of you someday, Luke. You can put money on it.]

Multiple bad impressions, actually.

[He folds him arms, not elaborating. That would take all day. Asch tips his head down - Mutual Footstare Society, anyone?]

You are doing better. Even I can't deny that.

[It's just better isn't good enough, alright?]

[sacred_flamer]

[Luke reached back to rub the back of his neck, looking sheepish (and maybe blushing a little).]

Thanks... I am trying, though I do know I have a long way to go.

[bloodyashes]

[Well what do now - oh right he's still got to brush his hair. Heeeeeere abandoned hairbrush.]

Well, we'll see how far you get.

[Totally eyeing Luke's hair even as he starts to straighten out his own, yup.]
