Upside down dreams

Mikey crossed the hall silently and held open the door for Mike.

Mike entered the room, looking around and then back into Mikey's eyes. He stopped. "Mikey...? I..." He shrugged. "I'm glad you're happy again." His cheeks flushed shamefully.

Mikey blushed slightly as well. "I needed to move on." He whispered.

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:03 am

Mike hesitated. "Did you?" he asked in a whisper.

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:04 am

Mikey nodded. "I guess the thing with Blackinton reinforced it."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:26 am

"I'm sorry this happened to you," Mike said. He cleared his throat. "So, uhm...what are we supposed to do, now?"

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:27 am

Mikey motioned for Mike to stand in front of him. He took a wing in his hands, examining it closely.

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:28 am

"Careful," Mike warned, accidentally moving his wing in a spasm. "I wish there was a way to cut them off."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:29 am

Mikey raised an eyebrow. "Carden, I've been dealing with wings for a hell of a lot longer than you have. Why do you want to cut them off?"

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:31 am

"They hurt." Mike frowned. "They're an easy target, and...well, mine are hideous."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:32 am

Mikey stepped back, giving Mike an experienced once over. "I disagree. They're a decent colour." He narrowed his eyes. "You're just not used to them."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:35 am

"It's hard to get used to wings," he admitted. "I injure them pretty badly and I'm afraid it'll end up scaring William."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:36 am

"It didn't scare Nick, and he had no idea about any of this stuff." Mikey said quietly, tilting several of Mike's pin feathers inwards.

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:38 am

Mike bit his lips and nodded. He waited a moment before speaking again. "A bullet or a broken neck, and then aiming for the pin feathers...that's the only way, right?"

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:39 am

"That I know of so far, yeah." Mikey's wings fluttered backwards slightly. "Why?"

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:41 am

"I'm not immortal anymore," Mike stated. "I need to worry about these things. I used to think I could always protect William, but now we're both vulnerable."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:42 am

Mikey's eyes widened. He took a step back, holding himself tightly. He inhaled deeply, trying to control himself.

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:44 am

Mike's body stiffened. "Mikey? What's wrong?"

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:44 am

"I'm struggling to stop myself from killing you now." Mikey stated calmly. "It's difficult. Even though... even though I kinda like you now."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:46 am

Mike took a step back, but his expression didn't change. "I understand. Trust me, in different circumstances I wouldn't even try to stop you. Except now there's William, and he needs me."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:47 am

Mikey exhaled. "Ok. Urge gone." He frowned. "But then, how come Nick's still around? I mean, he could exact his revenge now, and go up..."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:50 am

Mike exhaled slowly. "I don't know. Maybe he's still watching over you? Maybe he doesn't know I can die. You should ask him."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:51 am

Mikey shook his head. "It's not up to him. Powers that be and all that jazz." he frowned. "Unless... Angel will never be able to go up, so maybe... maybe his love for her is so strong he can't leave." he shrugged. "Just a thought."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:53 am

"Maybe. I'd like to think that." Mike smiled slightly, but it faded quickly enough. "Or maybe it wasn't the shot that killed him."

Subject: Re: Upside down dreams Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:54 am

Mikey shrugged. "Things happen. But, I did kill everyone else, remember." He chewed on the end of the long braid. "Take your shirt off and turn around."
