Must have been fun.

[ Oria closes his eyes while still burying his face into the area above Sinclair's collarbones. ]

I wanna tease him too...

Hm? Oh.

[ Whatever energy he had left seems to be suddenly gone at the mention. Oria feels even more tired by the mention alone, but Sinclair is asking, so he will answer. ]

Bora is part of the Seo family. I met her years ago, actually. She was getting bullied by some pompous squad of mean bitches and I gave the leader a bald spot by yanking out a bunch of her hair at once.

[ He almost snorts as he recalls that memory. ]

Anyway, Bora had a crush on me ever since.

[ If it happened years ago, and Oria had several exes between the time frame to present day, then there's definitely something keeping him from dating her. ]

But her older brother was really protective of her and he saw everything I did to her as leading her on with shitty motives. Which... I guess it's true, yeah. I did lead her on. I'll admit that. For me, I thought it was the best way to keep her at bay—

[ Oh, wait. Sinclair doesn't know. Right. ]

She's kinda mentally unstable: never taking no for an answer, has moments of hallucinations and psychosis... all that stuff. She damaged Sora's eye despite how he was protecting her because of a psychotic episode she had.

[ Yup. That guy also has an eyepatch. Bora's older (adopted) brother is Sora, who was technically born as Iria's fraternal twin, which means the Seo family bought Sora off them from whatever deal Arvel made.

And this is why it's complicated. Oria and Sora don't like each other, but the reason for Sora's dislike is very much obvious now.

We never dated, but she acts very much like a clingy, jealous ex that never lets go. I have to admit... she's part of the reason why I went to an all boy's institution for high school.

[ mrnghhhghgghhh ]

She always wants my attention, so it doesn't matter who else is around for the most part, except for Sora, who tries to shut it down at every chance he gets.

[ Which is a relief for Oria, but his dislike of Sora stems from a different place. It's fine. ]

[ When he hears Sinclair's voice trail off, he finally unburies his face to look at him in the eyes... or, he tries. He doesn't have his glasses on and everything is gaussian blurred to hell. ]

What?

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ... ...

Oria is trying to figure out what Sinclair means by that, and he is... not getting any ideas. Maybe he's just that tired?
]

I don't dislike her, but she's tiring to deal with. Also, I do that usually towards people I don't like already. Right?

Her hair looked like it was about to prick her eyes and it's not like she could walk properly, so I might as well pick her up, right? Bloody hell, she felt more like a child I had to coddle because I don't see her that way at all.

[ He grumbles and buries his face back into thr area above Sinclair's collarbones again. ]

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-16 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oria stays quiet for a moment, his expression unreadable because Sinclair can't see his face. ]

Then what do you want me to do?
dissimulative: (pic#15269435)

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-16 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It sure would be bad for her later!

Oria thinks about this. Why does he help her in the first place when he knows that it would give her the wrong idea? Of course he knows why, but he supposes there's also merit in ignoring her. It's a delicate balancing act. The feeling that her mental stability depends solely on him is quite the pressure, only because dealing with the fallout is something he doesn't want to bother with.
]

Alright.

[ Sinclair can probably feel Oria's body relaxing. He doesn't move otherwise. ]

I'll do that.
dissimulative: (pic#15273324)

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-16 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... do I?

[ The hands at Sinclair's back move to his lower back— ]

Yeah, I do. Let's go to sleep.
dissimulative: (pic#15273337)

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-01-16 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[ He lets go of Sinclair so that he can do just that as he gets under the blanket. He hopes that he'll be less exhausted tomorrow.

By the time Sinclair returns to the bed, Oria will have already fallen asleep.

[ It's morning, and Oria doesn't really feel refreshed despite everything. He grumbles when he wakes at a normal morning time, does his morning routine and give Sinclair a quick cheek kiss before he leaves. When he returns, he seems tired again, borderline cranky. He eats, talks to Sinclair about Sinclair's day and then he sleeps.

This cycle happens for the next several days until a smaller technology convention is in the area that Limbus Company was also invited to attend for whatever reason. There are a lot of neat little gadgets and stuff to look at. Bots and stuff. Fascinating. If anything, it looks like a prototype museum. Oria was chosen to conduct a speech regarding today's technological advances, Timetrack's proposal, and all those things.

There are rumors Sinclair can hear. Despite Arvel dying, none of his things were passed down to Oria. Curious minds want to know, but the reason has always been the same: Oria had to earn it by displaying competency in the business world and overcome the competition. Not like everyone knew that though. Oria would usually dismiss the words, but when someone raises their hand and asks him exactly that, Oria smiles and answers candidly. It's only noticeable to people who know Oria well or people who are incredibly perceptive, but from that question, it looked as if his head was about to explode from the stress and sheer audacity of that question.

Thankfully, he kept it in. He has to.

The rumors only get even more malicious when they say that Oria tried to inherit by killing Arvel directly. For anyone who doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes, of course it would sound feasible and believable.

It's not the first time he's been subjected to things like this. Lenore's case was similar, but sometimes he feels something tighten around his neck. Maybe a phantom shock or two occurs. It becomes harder to breathe and harder to maintain the facade that he's completely fine.

To get the rumors away from being focused on him, Oria redirected the flow by letting the rumor mongering people get attached to one of the head of tech companies having an affair. Viciously. In front of everyone. As revenge for asking Oria such a question that he really didn't want to answer. Something so personal stemmed from an impersonal motive.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

And scream

Oria isn't found anywhere in his home after the convention. After a while, he is found but he skips dinner and becomes dead to the world while face down on the bed.
