You've reached Lust. I'm not available at the moment, please leave a message.

If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.
foolishwren: My MILKSHAKE, you guys. (He asks if i want kale in my milkshake)

[Heather cups the mug in both hands holding it to her chest. Somehow the warmth of it feels more comforting than the sweetness of its contents.]

[She remembers the last time they'd broached this particular subject, and how Lust had gotten a little worked up over it. All the same, it's still interesting to hear this kind of confession from someone who had done this for a living.]


Before.

--well, not like... immediately before.

We talked, like... back when we were in Kanto. 'Cuz he asked, he'd noticed that I was kinda evading having him do anything, and I said... well I mean, I didn't lie. I said I was having plenty of fun the way things were, that I didn't need to have... you know, an 'orgasm' or whatever... [Complete with finger quotes, there.] And like, mentioned all the other times I've done it, which basically all sucked...

And he got it, and we kept going like normal, but... the other ni-- well, more like a couple weeks ago, I figured hey, we've been at it long enough, and we trust each other, can't hurt to try, and just...

I think there was just so much more than even I thought would be wrong.

More than I even thought to tell him back then because I didn't... know.

... And we haven't... talked about it since, really.

I don't even know how to bring it up.
foolishwren: ... but it seems as if i have owned you so hard that you are now officially my bitch. im not happy about it either. in fact i am very disappointed (I'm sorry to have to tell you this...)

[Heather normally is pretty good about acknowledging her trauma. About the many ways it seeps into her everyday life. Because really, so much of it is impossible to ignore.]

[But the sex parts... well, that hadn't BEEN a part of her life until recently, and...]


No... this happened, like... directly before Henry went all lone avenger and got put in the hospital, so we didn't really have much of a chance to like... revisit it.
foolishwren: s-sugoi.... (gosh i hope senpai notices me)

[Heather nods, miserably, and takes Lust's pause as a chance to take a long sip of the hot chocolate.]

[Even if it doesn't do anything to fix the problem, cocoa is just comforting. And it eases the knot in her chest a little.]


I... yeah, I think I would. Can't hurt, right?

[Even if they wound up not helping, it's what she came up here for.]

[And it's not like Heather's got any ideas of her own, when it comes to this.]
foolishwren: but what the fuck (i know everything happens for a reason)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-02-28 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I... guess.

I mean, that's kind of what I did.

The permission part, anyway...

[Which is part of why what had happened was so embarrassing.]

[It felt like asking the waitress to go ahead and grate some pepper onto your pasta only to hurl the plate across the restaurant like a discus and take off running.]


And as for saying what I'd like, it's like... I don't... really know. What I'd like, I mean.

Even if it's something I want, like, in the abstract... it's like all I can think about is just... stuff I'd rather forget. Stuff I thought I'd already dealt with. Stuff I didn't... know would make me feel this way. Like I'm-- dirty, or something.
foolishwren: my brain: hm.... what's the scariest image you've ever seen? (me: *outside at night*)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-03-26 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[At that, Heather's mouth twists in an awkward, mirthless grin.]

Hah, yeah, awkward...

[Understatement. Honestly if it weren't something she was really, really desperate to fix, she wouldn't even be up here talking about it.]

But uh... I mean, yeah, I just kind of said 'go for it'. The other thing didn't occur to me.

Wouldn't that kind of... you know... ruin the mood?

foolishwren: sorry ambulances but you just have to start playing "move bitch get out the way" by ludacris now (yo i am SICK of sirens theyre BANNED)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-04-06 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Heather listens, looking a little surprised at first... then, amused despite the issues that led to this conversation in the first place. Because like... of course Lust stopped Scar in the middle of making out to cut his hair.]

[That's just, so Lust.]

[But while it's a welcome reprieve from thinking about her own problems, she knows she can't keep the topic on Lust's amusing sexual anecdotes no matter how much she'd rather be talking about that.]


Yeah, I know... like, to be clear, I trust Envy one hundred percent. I really, really do.

And like... literally right up till that point, I was... I was fine. I mean... a little... out of my element, yeah, but it wasn't like I was hating it and just letting him keep going.

It just... it happened so quickly, everything was fine and then suddenly it wasn't, and it was like-- I couldn't even talk for a second, or move, and I couldn't even warn him it was happening. Or even... pinpoint anything he was doing that might've... set me off.
foolishwren: me: (under my breath) get wrecked (*sees a kid fall over*)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-04-23 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I... maybe...

[She thinks on that for a moment. It's hard to foresee exactly how that would wind up going, but... well, it couldn't hurt, down the line. And maybe it would dispel certain ingredients of the veritable memory cocktail that was triggered that night. The parts that recalled all those times she'd nearly met a gruesome end crushed to the floor under some nightmare-borne atrocity.]

I think that could solve... part of the problem, yeah.

foolishwren: no one puts the 'Sam' in 'Good Samaritan' like the spawn of Samael, right? (aw it was nothin'...)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-05-01 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, that is probably something to try...

[Rubbing the back of her neck with her free hand, she looks out the window at the backyard below.]

We didn't... put a whole lot of thought into it...

[Because of course they didn't. He whacked his head on the coffee table and she literally tackled him onto the bed.]
foolishwren: [muffled mariachi music in the distance] (Only I can do this.)

[Talking to Lust was a good idea.]

[Whether or not the advice actually works... her calm authority is somehow soothing in a way that Heather never would have thought, not on this topic anyway. But it is. She makes it sound so simple, even if they both know that neither of them think that.]


Yeah, I... hope we will.

I mean, I know we will.

But you know what I mean...

[She trails off there, because there's one last thing that's nagging at the back of her mind. And it's the actual uncomfortable part-- not the sort of thing that can quite be handled by dressing up a situation to be more comfortable. Because actually it's a hell of a lot more than 'one' thing, and talking about it... is not something she's sure she knows how to do.]

[But... if there was ever a time, and a person...]


There's... something else, though.

About what happened.

... Lust, you... you know. Get flashbacks, sometimes, right? Memories?
foolishwren: an excellent place for a cry, people will probably assume that you are a wealthy emotional person who cant decide between quinoa or couscous and are having a real problem with it. 8.5/10 (stores to cry in RATED: whole foods)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-05-08 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

I get 'em too.

A lot, actually.

[Less frequently now than she used to, before she came to this world. But still enough that it's a regular thing that she's familiar with, that she knows. That she's usually prepared to deal with.]

But it's usually only one.

[She pauses briefly, then just decides to get it over with. Even if her voice shakes. Which it does.]

Lust, this time, it was so many. All at once.

It's never happened before. Not like that.
foolishwren: i don't want to live in a world where we can't launch danny devito into space (people under 5'2" cant be astronauts??)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-05-13 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah... that says it all, really.]

[She nods. Because she understands exactly what Lust means.]


... And it's not like anything... worth that was happening.

I've had sex before, and-- and it's not like I wasn't already aware, of all those things that came back and hit me while we were getting into it the other night.

I guess I just... I just thought I'd be over it by now. Over... all of it. By now.
foolishwren: this time, 4chan has gone too far (just found waffles in the pancakes tag)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-05-18 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods. It's a very small, subdued motion.]

[Then she takes a long sip of the cocoa.]


... Lust, is it okay if-- ... can I... can I tell you some things? Before I say anything to Envy? ... It's not that... I think he'll judge me or something, it's just... I don't talk about this.

Not this stuff.

I don't... talk about those parts when I tell people stuff.

And you've always been great about listening when I had needed to get shit off my chest about... about the past.
foolishwren: i have so many problems (houston...)

big fat Trigger Warning

[personal profile] foolishwren 2017-05-24 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods. It's always... reassuring, when Lust reminds her of that. All weird awkward puppy-crushing that had gone on aside, she really is grateful to have retained their weird friendship so strongly. And she never feels more strongly about it than in moments like this.]

[All the same, just for a second, the exact same paralyzation that she'd felt while her hand had been locked around Envy's throat comes back. It's as mental as it is physical-- the words just lock up in her throat, twisting around each other like snakes into a ball too big to pull out in one go.]

[There's just so much.]


... I've been pregnant.

Before I came here.

I didn't want to be. It wasn't-- I didn't have a choice, they made me...
