"Sh-shut up!" Have a noogie, Zelos.

"Whatever. You're the one who ended up marryin' me, so I must've done something right."

"I thought you knew." Poor Lloyd... "That is so sad for you."

"Wh--!! Why the hell didn't you tell me until now?!" and there went Lloyd's face, turning as red as his jacket as he scrubbed a hand over it. "Man..! I already felt stupid enough after that happened, now it's like it's happening all over again! I-I mean, I guess it wasn't a date or anything at least, but.."

"Nope, sorry bud!"

"H-huh..?? Is it.. not normal to ask someone you like to fight you?" To be fair, he did it to figure out his own feelings, but..

His heart stops at the sound of those words.

But all the same, Lloyd feels his shoulders relax; once tense at the mere sight of the other man. It shouldn't have been that much of a surprise to run into him here, in the training arena he had built for Lloyd; but the thought hadn't crossed his mind whatsoever. Instead, the sparred with the training dummies without so much of a second thought; discarding his jacket and revealing to no one what he usually kept hidden.

.. or so he thought, at least. The map of stars on his chest and back were hard to miss; and as soon as he felt Kaeya's presence, Lloyd had no doubt in his mind that he noticed. His throat felt tight, swallowing the explanation he felt he needed to share-- until the other eased the need to do so.

Kaeya.. really was an interesting person. He tried to make himself seem so detached from others, but the care he had for them was so obvious. At least, in moments like these, it always felt that way to Lloyd.

".. right. That's one way to put it."

Even though he felt no pride over these. The scars on his hands, his arms, his face-- those were all reminders of his toughest battles, proof that he had made it through them all with his friends. The ones on his chest, however.. the one over his heart.. they were merely reminders of Lloyd's mistakes. Things he would have to live with forever; missteps he could never take back.

But with every day that went by, he was learning to accept them. And if his friends and loved ones could without question.. then what was stopping him from doing the same?

"Whatever battles I've faced.. I'm still here. That's what matters the most in the end, right?"

He wondered if Kaeya had any scars himself that made him feel the same way.

"C-c'mon, don't be so corny!" well.. Zelos' approach to his scars did always make Lloyd feel a little better about them. Even if he wasn't sure he thought of them in the exact same way.. "Some of 'em are cool, I guess.. but you're the one with the nice skin. Just one of the many beautiful things about you, heheh." Get a room.

"Hey, Luz-- have I ever shown you this one before?"

Pushing his bangs back, Lloyd sat completely still as Luz towered over him; pointing out a spot on his hairline where a long, ragged scar cut through his roots. It was almost impossible to see when his hair was all over the place like it usually was, but it was one he'd been meaning to show her for a while-- since she got the one on her eyebrow, anyway.

"It's kind of a long story, but.. when my adopted dad found me, I was with my mom. She was really injured, and the two of us fell down this real steep cliff. Noishe protected me most of the way down, but I got this in the mix-up somehow. I was only three, so I don't really remember it, but my dad had a hard time patchin' me up after, heheh."

It still seemed like.. whatever had happened in her world, the newer memories she'd gotten back-- they were a lot for Luz to handle. Lloyd had just been told the bare minimum of it all; that they were up against Belos, that her friends were in danger..

Even if she was here, it still must have been a lot to deal with. So Lloyd wanted to do everything he could to show her that it was alright to talk; when she was ready, when she felt safe again.. her scars didn't define the kind of person she was. She would always be Luz.

".. anyway, 'guess that just makes us even more alike, huh?" he grinned at her, ruffling her hair up a bit. "We've got the scars to show how tough we are. But no matter how strong y'think you need to be, don't forget that you're allowed to have people look out for you, too."

@spiderstaff said:  ↪                            "Every scar has a story, right?"

".. yeah. That's right."

Lloyd was lucky, in a sense. The scars that brought him the most pain were usually hidden from plain view-- underneath his jacket, covering the greatest mistake of his life. Yet Kay had to look at herself every day and be reminded of hers; the time when someone who should have loved her only hurt her, made her feel like she was worthless, when she always deserved so much more. He knew parts of her life had changed, now; that she was given that affection from good people, and knew now who her true family always would be.

But Lloyd understood that it was still hard. No matter how much time went by, memories were sometimes the strongest thing in a person's life; able to pull you back to a moment of time, and make you feel all the awful things you had in that moment.

He.. was a little easier on himself now because of it. He knew it was alright to falter sometimes, to truly feel those things from the past-- but it was always nice when he didn't have to do it alone.

"They're stories we know really well, right? Even if they can be hard to talk about sometimes," gently, he reached out towards Kay; placing a hand against her cheek and rubbing a thumb against one of her scars. He smiled at her, placing his other hand over his heart at the same time.

"But I'll always be here to listen when you need it. Because even if those stories are ours.. we don't have to always keep them to ourselves. That's something I'm trying to remind myself of every day, too."

"Heh, do they ever. They're definitely proof that I've gotten myself out of a lot of trouble."

"I mean, most of 'em are back from when I was teaching myself how to swordfight, or when my dad taught me how to forge-- I sure made a lot of mistakes when I was a kid. Then when my friends and I went on our journey together.." he trailed off, thinking about all the things they faced together. How they'd always watch his back, no matter what happened. "Well, that kinda opened my eyes to how the world worked. These ones on my arm, I can tell ya exactly what kind of monster got me there. And here--"

The palms of his hands, once covered by his gloves, now were held out for Dar to see; course and uneven, trails running up and between his fingers.

".. we faced a lot of foes together. Some that used to be our friends. But I carry them with me, now-- the good parts we went through, and the bad. They're times in my life I can never forget."

His smile softened somewhat, but he leaned back; giving the other a chance to show off his.

"What about you, huh? You sure look tough-- 'bet you've got a ton of stories to tell!"

"-- dummy!! You weren't supposed to bring any at all! Didn't you read the invitation?!" Looks like Zelos would only receive a few noogies in that instance though, as his idea suddenly made Lloyd's face light up.

"Huh? H-hold on, really?! What if they figure out it's you? The air was gettin' pretty tense back there.." he thought for a moment, before he suddenly grinned in excitement. "D'you have more than one of those? We could sneak back in together! That way, we'd get double the amount!"

"Well yeah, I brought my own! It's not a party till the booze comes out or whatever!"

"Hey!! I have an idea! Give me the bag! I have my mask at home and I can grab you all the sandwiches!"

#gleamknight #isola garden party #I HATE THEM

[twohundredpower]

"Don't get mad at me, you jerk!! You're the one who brought it in the first place!!"

After a few minutes, Lloyd stopped when he finally felt safe enough to, putting Zelos back on his feet. He leaned forward with his hands on his knees, and while he should have been mad..

"Man.. I wasn't done eating yet.. all that stuff was so good! I even brought a bag to take it home in.." goodbye, delicious sandwiches.

"LLOYDDDDDD--!" Zelos screamed as the swordsman took off like a bat out of hell into the forest. He had no idea Lloyd could run that fast, but...He was probably running off pure adrenaline of Zelos's stupid actions and his exsphere helped enhance that.

"Do you know how expensive all that booze was?! And you left it behind!"

Unfortunately, as Lloyd was running, there was a trail of mini bottles in the wake of the pair. Zelos still had booze to spare on his person it seemed.

#gleamknight #isola garden party #cancelled meat bag sequel

[twohundredpower]

"Oi, Zelos!! Knock it off, seriously--!!"

Lloyd went to grab at Zelos' cloak, but clearly the action was too late, as multiple mini bottles of liquor cascaded onto the ground. He stood there, shell-shocked for a minute..

"You.. did you seriously.."

.. suddenly, the swordsman felt very much in danger; like a thousand eyes were staring at his back all at once. In one fluid motion, he picked up Zelos and threw him over his shoulder; sprinting into the forest.

"Run!!"

Zelos was on some next level shit tonight. It must be in the air.

"Just look!" As he started to slip his cloak off. A comical amount of liquor bottles fell from it. The clanking and crashing of the booze causing any nearby eyes to lock onto the pair.

"God. Fucking. Dammit."

#gleamknight #isola garden party #THE FUCK DID I DO

[twohundredpower]

"You're-- HUH?!"

"What the-- who the hell agreed to do that with you!?" .. actually, probably nobody. At least he hoped. "Don't do that here!! You're gonna get kicked out!"

"LLOYDDDD---! We're getting strip poker started!"

#gleamknight #isola garden party #SDFKHDSFKJHDAF #well it was nice knowing you <3 i'll never forget our time together <3

[twohundredpower]

"Oh! There's Zelos." It definitely wasn't quiet around here anymore.

#isola dash commentary #can i eat some more sandwiches before u get us kicked out

[twohundredpower]

"Heh! He sure did!" unable to help but snicker, Lloyd answered the girl's question easily; though the smile on his face remained fond and gentle. "You're right that not a lot of people would, but Zelos is pretty special-- even if he gets embarrassed, I like when he's open about his feelings like that."

.. alright, maybe he was getting off track here. Didn't want to scare off a stranger with potentially being too corny.

"A-anyway, uh-- I'm Lloyd, by the way. What's your name?"

"Oh my, your husband screamed at your wedding?" She laughed softly behind her hand. "I certainly understand nerves, but I don't know that I've ever heard of someone doing something like that at their own ceremony.
