Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

[bigdamnprincipal]

Amazingly enough, this part of the lawn looked pretty clear. For the moment, at least.

"At the risk of sounding completely heartless," Demyx said, smirking slightly at the irony of the statement before getting serious again. "You do get used to it after a while. If I can get through it, I know you can. I'm really weak."

"Yeah, um." Anders swallowed and looked away for a moment, then glanced at Demyx before staring intently at his hands. "I'm . . . did I ever tell you I was sorry about that?"

"...Huh?" Demyx blinked at him dumbly, then the lightbulb switched on. "Oh! That. No, but it's really okay. I mean, it really sucked for a while, but I can't really blame you for anything, and it probably worked out in a good way. You're happy, right?" He smiled at Anders to prove there really were no hard feelings. "If there's anything I know, it's when to give up and run. I really don't regret what happened with us. Not that I'd want it to happen again or anything, but I'm glad you found what's right for you and all that." He stopped suddenly and looked sheepish. "Sorry. I talk too much."

"I was a jerk about it at the time, though." Anders fidgeted slightly. "I'm really sorry. It's just . . . he wasn't himself then, and he would've killed you if I hadn't, and he would've killed me if I'd let on what was happening."

He paused, then managed a smile in return. "Seriously? You're okay about all of this?"

"You were," Demyx admitted. "But you had a reason, and I'm glad nobody got killed. Especially me, because I've been there, I've done that, and it really sucks." He extended his hand to Anders, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Can we still be friends and hang out and talk and stuff?" he asked hopefully.

Anders reached out to shake his hand. "I could use all the friends I can get," he said honestly. "Especially since I've sort of been neglecting everybody the past few months. So yeah. Definitely."

"Me, too," Demyx agreed. He hopped to his feet, brushing grass off his coat. "So don't look so down, okay?" he asked, smiling. "You aren't totally alone."

"Thanks, Demyx," Anders told him, smiling back for real this time. "That really does help, you know. By the way, I'm down the hall from where I used to be, now, in 227. You know, if you need to find me for whatever reason."

"227. Got it." Demyx pulled out a notepad and pen, scribbling furiously. "I won't forget," he promised. "I'm still in 517, too. You can always stop by if you feel like it, even if the door's shut."
