[ASHLEY] mistaken

[ashley drewby muse]

Ashley liked the truth, he really did. However he wasn't sure he could like the truth when it hurt his new friend so much. As Ashley slid back down under the covers he snuggle back towards Connor -this time to his front so he didn't have a face full of feathers- gently squeezing the older boys hand. "Don't worry... You get better." he promised Connor softly, not even thinking that anything the boy could have would be incurable. "Tomorrow... Wake up... Lots a poptarts..." he yawned in between each word, laying his head on the pillow to quickly fall asleep.

Connor didn't have the heart to tell him he wouldn't get better, that eventually he would die because of it if he didn't kill himself first. He reminded him of a little kid, and while Connor's patience easily ran thin, right now he was more content than before, and was finally falling asleep once again. Connor slept hard, not even stirring as morning came around.

As stated before, Ashley was a light sleeper. Everything that went bump in the night caused him to jerk up and as his friend slept soundly he was constantly dragged from dreams by someone hitting their wall, or a mouse making noise in the wall. Morning couldn't come soon enough and Ashley found himself staring at the wall for well over an hour before actually moving to get out of the comfortable spot he had found by his friends side. Despite being mostly skin and bones, Connor made a fairly decent pillow. Ashley stretched his arms above his head with a yawn before he leaned over and planted himself pretty much directly over Connor's entire body- yes, this means he did indeed crawl onto Connor's lap to accomplish this. "Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey." he called in his cheerful little voice, poking the tip of the older boys nose with his finger.

Connor groaned in complaint, wrinkling his nose. But the moment he realized the other was on top of him, added to being disoriented from sleep, Connor tensed and panicked. "Get o-off of me," He snarled, swallowing fearfully as he shoved the kid away. Yeah...this would definitely take some getting used to. He coughed huskily, pushing sweaty hair from his forehead as he started to relax again.

One. Two. Three. NINJA ROLL! Ashley tucked his head into his chest when he was shoved and allowed himself to fall off the bed, giggling like a little kid as he jumped back onto his feet. Normally mornings were the worst part of his day but today- today was going to be different because there was actually someone here who would help keep him sane. Sane-ish. Okay, well at least keep him out of trouble. That was all anyone could ask of someone watching Ashley. Keep the building safe. "You hungries?" he asked rather kindly while he stretched his arms above his head. But something was wrong. Something wasn't stretching like it should. Ashley brought his hands in front of him with a frown. What was wrong? Why did he feel funny? As he stared for a few minutes Ashley finally realized what was wrong. "Wake up Set!" he chirped rather loudly for how early it was in the morning, stretching his hands above his head this time in order to create a shower of hot sparks. As the shower subsided the will ball that tended to float around him manifested between his hands and proceeded to float down to his side. Idiot. You don't call me out for nothing. the voice in his head chided him

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor blinked as he watched him. The kid had some serious issues. Had they fucked him up that bad that he thought his ability was another being? Yawning he shook his head slowly, always trying to refuse eating. He laid his head back down on the pillow again, though he kept a wary eye on the other male, not wishing for things to get out of hand.

[ashley drewby muse]

Hey Ashley why don't you go back to sleep?
But I'm not sleepy...
Your friend is, don't you want to sleep by your friend?
Ashley thought over those words and grinned to himself, diving back onto the bed and snuggling back up to Connor. Sure, he wasn't sleepy but Set was normally right when he told him to do something. After all, Set was the smart one. "Back to bed?" he giggled, once again poking Connor's nose.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor swatted his hand away in agitation. "No," He complained, sprawling so his face was in the pillow, voice muffled. Finally he sat up, grabbing his medication and his water to swallow two of the pills. "Go e-eat your breakfast." He insisted, coughing huskily before clearing his throat and looking towards the other male.

Ashley let him move and instead snuggled into the pillow Cameron had been laying on, burying himself in its fluffiness. It was so soft and comfortable he could easily fall asleep.
A few seconds passed before he sighed and slid out of the bed, running a hand through his hair as he stared at the man who would become Ashley's roommate. The boy wasn't exactly the best in the world, but at least he could do more than Set could. He would be physical while Set could only keep him from the real trama. As he stood up slowly he took catalog of the room, tsking softly as he kicked away one of Ashley's numerous ducks. "He'll eat in a bit... But first, I think a shower is needed. Really the only reason I'm here. Wouldn't want him to shower with... You." the words were blunt and basic as he grabbed a backpack by the bathroom door and walked in, turning on the shower quickly.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor blinked. Did this guy seriously have another personality? Rolling his eyes he climbed back into the bed again, surprisingly cold. He could only guess he was running a fever, though it wouldn't be surprising. Coughing softly e groaned and pressed a hand to his abdomen, listening to the soothing sound of running water in the bathroom.

[ashley drewby muse]

Water ran down to floor and swirled down the drain. Over and over the process repeated. Set sighed while he washed his hair, watching the bubbles fall to the ground with the water. Everything here had a cycle. Everything here died. You would never leave no matter how old you got, and everyone you know will eventually fade away. This saddened Set, who knew that no matter how often he hid this from Ashley someday he would figure it out. Especially with this new boy, this Connor. Connor would be a danger to Ashley as much as he could help. Set sighed and rinsed out his hair, turning off the water before walking out of the shower and wrapping a towel around his waist. A second towel was put on his head to cover his hair as he walked out of the bathroom. "Still in pain? Or has is subsided?" he asked for conversational sake, not really because he cared.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor looked up at the guy, raising an eyebrow. Alternate personalities...amusing. But instead of being able to reply he gasped and curled up tighter with an agonized gag. "F-fuck.." He groaned brokenly, gripping at the sheets until his knuckles went white. Blue eyes closed, his breaths sharp and shallow, mentally begging for the pain to past.

[ashley drewby muse]

Set stared at the other boy with a slight frown. He had known the boy was sicker than he'd let on but he hadn't thought it was to this extent. With a sigh he relaxed to let Ash come back, knowing if he hadn't he'd never hear the end of it.

Ash blinked, looking down at himself and wondering when he'd taken a shower then he shrugged. He dismissed it in favor of something more pressing. Connor was in pain. Which was bad. His new friends should never be in pain. "Where you hurt??" he demanded while rushing over to the boys side. Ashley sat at the edge of the bed and instantly reached out to put his hand on his friends head. "You need doctor? Medicine?"

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor swallowed. The male had changed personality again. "I'm f-fine, it'll go away.." He mumbled shakily, body trembling with how much he had tensed. The hand on his sweaty forehead felt cool, soothing, and he eased up the slightest bit. "Go e-eat..." Maybe a cold shower would help.

[ashley drewby muse]

Ashley started gently patting Connor's head, a frown pulling at his lips. "You too hot... Wait here!" he chirped, bouncing over to his bag to pull out a washcloth. The thin duckprint cloth was then carried to the sink as he began to pour cold water over it. He hummed to himself as he squeezed most of the water out and walking back to the bed to put it on Connor's head. "All better now! You not so hot now!' he giggled softly, reaching up to play with Connor's hair.
