Dakota stared at him, his cheeks, nose and ears turning red slowly. When Zor had kissed him, he had relaxed almost instantly. His lips were so warm...and soft....and perfect. Now he looked at Zorion with wide eyes, his shaking slowing to a stop. He sniffled, and nodded.

He didn't fully believe his best friend, but that didn't matter. He just wanted to be kissed again. Wait. What was he thinking? He was just dumped, and Zor wasn't the only one he loved. "I- I love you too, Zor..." he whispered, embarrassed. "But...not only you..." He glanced at Leo before shying away, and staring at his lap.

Then he shook his head. "But I can't- ...you're wrong..." he murmured. His hand was still tightly clutching Leo's shirt, as he hadn't noticed he was doing it. "I couldn't help anyone...You have to know this."

((YESSSSSSS- ZOR, LETS GOOOOOOOOO))

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

((XDDDDDD))

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

Zorion followed Dakota's gaze to Leo. "...M-me too, but that... That's a conversation for another time," he said, quickly changing the subject no matter how much he really didn't want to. He looked back at Dakota and shook his head, reaching out and touching Dakota's face with one of his hands. "Shh... Stop arguin'. Just because you could help that lost-cause ex of yours doesn't mean you can't help anyone else. I don't think anyone can help Eli. He's a total dick, through and through." He gently tilted Dakota's head up to gaze into his eyes. "I'm serious. You're a lot more amazin' than you give yourself credit for, Kota."

((Gtg be back later!))

Dakota shook his head, the tears still sliding down his flushed cheeks. "I'm not, and- and he's not a lost cause!" His shoulders started trembling from him continuing to try and hold back a sob. "I could've helped him! He needs somebody..."

Then he stopped, realizing what Zor had said before. He liked Leo? He smiled mentally. Well, that was expected. Leo was gorgeous, and his personality- it was attractive as well...He snuck one last glance at Leo, blushing deeply at the thought of the three of them- He shook that thought away. No, that would never happen. He wasn't right for them.

((Okay, stay safe!))

((Off and on now, tryna write an essay))

This time, Zorion did not follow Dakota's gaze, instead trying his best to get Dakota to listen to him. "Yes, you are! You're totally amazin'! Stop fightin' me about it!" he said in a stern but gentle tone. "And again, I know you wanted to help him out, but I think even if anyone would be able to do that, it'd have to be a professional, and someone who wasn't givin' him what he wanted – to always give him his way and to punish those who don't listen – all the time. So, it ain't your fault, Kota. You gotta stop beatin' yourself up about that, okay? It's not your fault that you couldn't help him."

((I'm sorry, I was at the zoo! ;w;))

[Rory Gilmore]

((Nice!!!! I love the zoo))

[[deleted user]]

Dakota shook his head, but didn't say anything, just bit his lip. They had their own problems, why was he talking about his? You just want attention, Stupid. You're wearing them out. Stupid bitch. He took a deep breath, and started wiping away tears almost angrily. He looked at them and smiled crookedly. He had his brother's smile. But the shine to it wasn't there. It was dull and fake. At least that's what it felt like to him.

"You guys are right..." he murmured, though he hated the way the words sounded. Because they weren't. Not at all. They tasted bitter. How dare he give himself that much credit? He didn't deserve it. "I- I'm sorry, that was rude of me..." At least that part was true.

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

((I haven't been to the zoo in ages. I wish I could go soon. Off and on))

Zorion flashed Leo a small, grateful smile before looking back at Dakota. He took Dakota's hand and gently wiped his tears for him with soft, clearly well-moisturized hands. "Hey, you're gonna be okay, Kota. I promise you'll be okay," he said softly, giving Dakota a sad, sympathetic smile. He sighed, hating to see Dakota like this. Then he quickly shook his head. "Shush, Kota. You're not bein' rude. You're hurt and it's okay to talk to us. We wanna listen to you and help you!" His voice was quiet, calm, and steady, his smile reassuring as he pulled Dakota into a careful hug, making sure not to aggravate any of Dakota's injuries.

((Let's be honest, I didn't expect to live this long. So, I'm old enough. XD))

[Rory Gilmore]

((That’s really kinda depressing))

[[deleted user]]

Dakota just nodded, suddenly feeling exhausted. He didn't feel like arguing with them. He knew they were wrong. It was impossible for them to be right. The fatigue hit him hard, and he closed his eyes for a moment, feeling all of the screeching pain he'd felt in the beginning all over again. It made his stomach lurch and his head pound.

He leaned his head against Zor's chest. He was aware of the soft feel of his friend's skin, and the firmness of his chest. He let out a breath, relaxing, but it did nothing to cease the feeling of sickness. He was squeezing his eyes shut now, trying to control his breathing. Thankfully, it wasn't obvious at all.

[Rory Gilmore]

((Nah just wondering if I’m the (or one of the) oldest or youngest out of this little group of ours))

[[deleted user]]

((I can tell you that I'm older than 13))

[Rory Gilmore]

((Same. I pretty sure Fiona is the youngest))

((Cool))

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

((so sorry i was on even less than i thought. this is prob my last post tonight sorry! i'm 14, fiona is def the youngest))

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

Zorion looked down at Dakota, softly petting his hair. "It's okay, Kota. I got you," he whispered soothingly. He found himself smiling at the fact that Dakota's head was resting against him. "You're okay. I'm not gonna let anythin' hurt you, as long as I'm here."

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

((Not on much today either sorry!))

[[deleted user]]

Due to Dakota's breathing, he felt his ribs start to stab against him. His breath hitched, and he squeezed his eyes shut harder, trying to not make a sound. He gripped Leo's hem of his shirt. He knew he probably shouldn't be sitting up like that, hunched over to curl up. That was probably causing the pain. But he didn't want to stop, feeling safe against Zorion.

When Zor started speaking, Dakota shoved away the pain to listen. And when he did, he felt like crying. No one had ever said that to him. Not even Mem, his best friend as a child. He couldn't blame him, it probably didn't even cross his mind that Kota needed that. It didn't even cross his own mind. But now that it was said, he felt tears prick his eyes. Without thinking, he whispered a soft, "I love you..."

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

Zorion's breath caught in his throat and he was rendered speechless for a moment, his face flushed and his heart swelling with joy. After opening and closing his mouth a couple times like a fish out of water, he was able to respond with a faint, "I-I love you too, Kota." This exchange of words made Zorion so happy that he felt like he could explode, but he knew he had to be there for Dakota, and he was just as happy holding him as anything. Thus, he remained calm, although his insides swirled with glee.

[[deleted user]]

Dakota blushed hard, and he made a soft embarrassed squeak. He hadn't meant to, it just happened. He groaned quietly, embarrassed. "Sor-Sorry," he murmured. "I wasn't thinking..." He glanced at Leo, feeling the urge to tell him that he loved him too. He wanted to be honest with them. But they'd freak out, wouldn't they? No one wanted him, and he couldn't blame them for that.

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

((Sorry lunch))

"Don't apologize," Zorion said softly, his eyes lit up with happiness. He then followed Dakota's gaze to Leo, where he bit his lip. His mind reeled as he wondered what he should do. Before he could stop himself, he found himself blurting, "And I love you too, Leo." His blush deepened and he quickly said, "But I know it's...it's probably not what y'all want and I wouldn't judge y'all if you just decided you didn't wanna deal with me and all."

Maddy's had a breakdown and uhh(view spoiler)[ Started cutting (hide spoiler)]))

[[deleted user]]

Dakota blinked, looking up at Zor's face. His beautiful lilac colored hair and those eyes. He smiled a little, shaking his head a bit. "It's not 'dealing' with you, Zor..." he said, voice like a lullaby. Pretty and quiet. "I choose to be with you..." He said this while watching Leo. "And- you too." He looked down, blushing. "Both of you, I guess, mean a lot to me...Even if I just met you, Leo.."

[ѕнєяℓσ¢к ♡, it’s-a-me]

Zorion felt automatically soothed by Dakota's soft, loving voice and was suddenly elated at the prospect that Dakota and Leo both felt the same way as he did. But he blinked in surprise as Leo kissed him. He automatically leaned into it, enjoying it more than he'd like to admit. After a moment, he pulled away, the tips of his ears now pink as well. "Sweet jesus..." he muttered, shocked.

[[deleted user]]

Dakota's eyes widened at seeing them kiss, surprised, and then his features softened. They were beautiful like that. Like they were made to be together. He watched them for a moment, his blue-eyed gaze loving. He wasn't jealous. It made sense. Who wouldn't love them? He was happy for them. He really was. He looked for jealousy, but he couldn't find it.
