I'll tell you all how the story ends

[cleartranquil]

Who: Ghost Quest kids and all those who want to see them.
What: So as it turns out, going against the label might've been a bad move. Who knew, right? 
When: Feb 3rd and after 
Where: Pride HQ
Warnings: Talk of torture, aftermath of violence, aftermath of brainwashing, dudes there's some dark stuff.

For the past three days, the troublemakers and ghost helpers of Pride Records were kept locked away from their friends and their bands. 

As far as everyone else knew, they were just gone. And then they were back. 

They are all worse for wear, some far more than others and some much more mentally than physically, but they are all returned to their penthouses, finally, at the end of their ordeals. 

But, at least they're back. Somewhat in one piece. For the most part.

Luci has to swallow a lump that forms in her throat when Xanxus leans against her. It's a reminder, in a way, of how screwed up they all are, how they all need each other so badly. Especially now, when shit seemed to be going downhill so quickly and for the most unbelievable reasons. Luci was always protective of her band, never let anyone say they were untalented or losers, but this? This is way beyond that. This is family, as Xanxus is always saying. This is something Luci knows she's never had until now.

She puts her cheek against Xanxus, turns to wipe the rogue tear into his hair and kiss the top of his head. "Later. Let's just stay like this for a while. I want to stay like this, just until we can stand up again."

He lets her do that. Accepts the kiss to the top of his head. He barely feels it anyway with as much heroin as he's got running through him at the moment. He just scoots a little more and puts an arm around her. Lending his strength though at the moment he's so weak and lazy. It's so nice, it feels, to have someone who cared so much about him. Though for a moment he thinks he has someone else like this, but no. No. There's only Luci. Somehow, Luci ended up giving a shit about him and he won't let he down. Not again.

"All right. We can stay just like this. I won't move a muscle. And when I'm sober enough, I'll run you a bath and make you something to eat and cover you in bacon bandaids." Because that's all he can do since she won't let him get revenge for her. Besides, he's certain than if Luci wanted revenge, she would take it herself.

Luci snorts a laugh, the image of Xanxus covering her in bacon bandaids actually cutting through the thick layer of awful she felt radiating from her center. She wraps a sore arm around him and makes herself comfortable next to him.

"You're amazing, Xanxus. I'm... glad you're here. Even if you're fucknut high," she says with another weak laugh.
