"The subconscious doesn't lie, sweetheart. Even when you weren't thinking of Keagan, he was on your mind."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 18:06

"I was grieving... It doesn't mean you were a rebound. It doesn't mean that I don't care about you." April whispered, brushing her thumb in small circles against his cheek.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 18:19

"You don't have to say anything, I'm fine with it."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 18:20

"You weren't rebound," April insisted quietly.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 18:41

"I don't mind if I was though, that's what I'm saying."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 18:50

"You weren't, you aren't. I wish you were, it would make this a whole lot easier... What're we going to do? We need to talk about it..."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 19:04

"We don't need to talk about it. You can go back to Keagan, and everybody is happy."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 19:07

"No, no.. We need to talk about it. I don't want to be unfair to you, Fleet, don't want to hurt you."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 19:21

"I'm not hurt," Fleet insisted. "I'm perfectly fine. I knew it wouldn't have lasted regardless."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 19:21

"If you're sure," She mumbled hesitantly, dropping her hand

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 19:37

"Fairly sure. I'm a grown man. My feelings aren't so easily hurt."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 19:40

"Grown men can be as sensitive as little children," April replied with a shake of her head, "They're just too stubborn to admit it." Hesitating, she whispered a quiet; "I'm sorry if I've hurt you."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 19:57

"I haven't properly felt for years. You have to numb yourself to deal with things up here." Fleet tapped the side of his head.

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 20:00

April just frowned deeply, though nodded subtly and let it drop.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 20:18

"So, what was it you were after again?"

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 20:21

"Decent bits of bark to carve from, is what I said. I was really just trying to get one of you alone though, to talk.." April replied with a small shrug.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 20:38

"Any particular reason why?"

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 20:43

"I needed to talk to you about that, then I just wanted to talk to Keag.. in general." April muttered. "Needed to speak to Keag, I don't know what about... Just about general things, I guess, like we used to talk."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 21:00

((I'm gonna be slower now because I'm on my phone. Mum made me upset so I said I was going to bed lol))

"Keagan could talk for hours, but only when he's in the mood. So for now you're stuck with me."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 21:02

"I know he can, I know. Stop acting like I've only just met him, Fleet."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 21:09

"Considering how you were suffocating him earlier, I have to wonder."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 21:09

"Fuck off."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 5 Sep - 21:22

"Just politely letting you know that sometimes feelings get in the way of the bigger picture."

**BestNameEva** Fri 5 Sep - 21:30

"Really? Just sounds like you're trying to have a dig at me, Fleet. You've been at my throat all day."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sat 6 Sep - 15:02

"I'm not having a dig at you. I'm just worried over my very sensitive brother."
