[wallride]

I wasn't phasing through Shiro and I'm about to kick you out.

[HERE HE COMES.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

HHHHHHHHOLY CRAP DON'T DRAIN MY LIVING ESSENCE SPECTER OF LUCIO!!

[In a panic, Darin slams his hand onto Shiro's doorframe. His hand crackles and a pulse of energy makes the wood and steel bubble and ripple until four horizontal bars about chest height extend across the open doorway.]

[Darin immediately heelturns and sprints away screaming. Don't worry, Shiro. He'll fix your door later.]

[shiro2hero]

...



I really... really need to put a warning bell on him.

Like a cat.

[As he just. Plants his face back into the bed.]

[wallride]

I'm not sure a bell is enough, dude. I almost blasted him through the wall.

[thankfully, his wub gun isn't easy to get to, or darin would be Gone.]

You still want to go ahead with this? I'm game.

[shiro2hero]

Point...

[His face stays firmly mashed into the bed, but he gives Lucio a thumb's up, regardless.]

We're locked in. Might as well.

[wallride]

Got it, man.

[he starts where he left off.]

Hasn't changed at all, has he?

[shiro2hero]

[He's suddenly glad his face is buried in the blanket. Because there's no way those hands can feel anything short of heavenly right then.]

[... hopefully they're not so tight they hurt his buddy's fingers.]

Not even a little.

[He's quiet for a moment, before he adds:] Almost left us, just before we got here.

[wallride]

Oh.

[he is gonna just keep massaging because stopping would be like... against the reason he came.]

Why?

[shiro2hero]

[It takes him a moment to answer, mostly because Lucio is really good at that massage thing.]

Because he likes us too much.

[Silence.]

Yeah, I know how it sounds.

[wallride]

...I don't get it. What-- why?

[GOOD HE'S WINNING.]

[shiro2hero]

Because... he got too attached. He was concerned about what would happen if he left.

[From his muffled tone, it's clear that yes, Shiro is aware of how stupid this idea is, said aloud.]

So. To him... leaving on his own would be better.

[wallride]

So, he... wanted to go because he cared too much?

[he frowns, trying to understand.]

Was this because of... that shadow thing?

[shiro2hero]

Something like that, yeah.

[He actually twitches. At the mention of "that shadow thing."]

... I don't know. Maybe.

[wallride]

[he feels the twitch and stops for a moment, wincing.]

...Sorry. Do you think he'll do it again?

[shiro2hero]

You're fine.

[Nothing to apologize for, at any rate.]

He says he won't. I'm trusting him with that.

[wallride]

Hmmm...

[the noise lúcio makes indicates he's not entirely on board with that belief, but he doesn't ask anything further, only continuing the massage in relative silence.]

[shiro2hero]

... Yeah. I know.

[Lucio doesn't even need to say anything. The noise says enough. So he'll just stay still and let him work.]
