005 ✽ We be all night

[giglio_madonna]

Who: The willing from Pride and Virgo
What: Want to know what party sucked? The solstice party. Want to know what party won't suck? Luci and Luce's.
When: Jan 8th
Where: The basement of the club Blue Heist
Warnings: None planned besides possible/probably intoxication




A little while after the disaster at Naomi's, those who had attended might find themselves approached- by Luce on Virgo's side, by Luci on Pride's, or perhaps by someone who had heard about it from either of them. The subject of conversation?

Another party. One that involves another mingle of both labels, without being used for any ulterior motives.

Those who seem up to it are given a time and place. Blue Heist is one of the clubs around town that has what could be called a "basement level", for private renting and parties available to anyone who has the cash to spend on it. It's a pretty simple set up, nothing extravagant like the party at Naomi's... Which is absolutely on purpose, let no one tell you otherwise. There's a reason any mics or karaoke equipment has been pointedly removed. All the music is on the system already.

Nope, tonight it's just dancing and drinking, with a couple of rooms to the side that have cheesy movies playing in case you're tired out. No closed doors, no poison at the bar, no murder.

And if you want to take a moment to maybe have a talk to someone on the opposite label to discuss or apologize for the events of the prior night... That's fine too.

Just be careful. Both labels are still under watch, it seems, with a few bodyguards from both sides around the perimeter here and there.

That's good advice. If people think you did it on purpose they'll ask less questions than if you tried to hide it.

[But oh no, she's shaking. Tsuna can sympathize with being terrified and just wanting someone to tell you everything will be okay. He reaches out tentatively, and takes one of her hands in his own.]

Nia? Look at me.

[He waits until she is looking at him before he continues.]

You're not a doll. Someone with thoughts and feelings and people they care about who care about them couldn't be a doll. That's practically the definition of being a person.

[Wow, that was rambly. He shakes his head.]

Okay, I'm not... really good at this kind of thing, but.... don't say you're a doll anymore, okay? You're my friend.

[He's said something similar before, but he'll say it as many times as she needs to hear it.]

[loveconservative]

[Oh no. Tsuna, no, that's sweet. For a second her eyes go big and wide and then... Then she is crying. A lot. Not even sad tears more like WHY IS THIS KID A HUMAN BEING AND WHY ARE WE FRIENDS I DON'T DESERVE IT TEARS, but tears.]

[dame_tsuna]

[djskdjsjs??!! Holy crap why is she crying? Does it hurt? Was it something he said? What did he do?!?!]

N- nia? What's wrong? D-do your eyes hurt?

[loveconservative]

[She shakes her head almost frantically.]

N-no, they don't hurt at all. That... it was just a very nice thing to say. I'm happy we're friends.

[dame_tsuna]

[Oh.

Well now he's starting to feel a little misty eyed too. But he blinks that back and smiles.]

Me too.

[He wonders if it would be appropriate to hug her. He kind of wants to.]

[loveconservative]

[Hugs are always appropriate with Nia she doesn't understand personal space. She wipes at her eyes, trying to stop crying. But she... kinda can't.]

[dame_tsuna]

[In that case he reaches out and awkwardly pulls her into a hug. He has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what to say, so he just holds her and makes vaguely soothing sounds until she's able to compose herself.]

[loveconservative]

[It takes her a little bit and she's definitely grabbing onto his shirt but she finally pulls back, wiping her eyes after a couple minutes.]

T-thank you.

[dame_tsuna]

It's okay. Are you feeling better now? Do you want to go back to the party or just go home?

[He can always call them a cab.]

[loveconservative]

It would look suspicious if we left. [She wants to go home.]

[dame_tsuna]

No it wouldn't. This isn't a label party, and you know Luce won't care.

[He'd be more worried if this was something official, something they'd been told to go to. But this is just a normal party.]

[loveconservative]

[She looks away.] I do not know her. I don't know that. I... I will be okay.

[dame_tsuna]

I do know her. Trust me, Nia. If you want to leave, we can go.

[loveconservative]

[She shakes her head.]

Others will see, as well. And there are people here who I hurt. I do not want them to know.

[dame_tsuna]

Okay....

[He frowns for a moment, thinking it over.]

Then why don't we go to the movie room? There's less people in there and it's dark so maybe people won't notice.

[loveconservative]

[She's still hesitant but... she can't keep Tsuna in the women's restroom.]

A-all right. I think.

[dame_tsuna]

[Yeah, he would appreciate not getting caught in here.]

Okay, let's go.

[He reaches out to take her hand, and gives it a comforting little squeeze before they head back out into the party.]
