Perfect Boyfriend Blues
"And all the lovely ladies, they wore a gossamer gown. They rode the handsome gentlemen all up and down the town," Eli sang to himself, rather loudly as he drank down some beer. He was up on the roof with a six pack of them drink, on number three.

He thought about calling GK earlier, but he didn't want to be a bother. He just felt really bad in a way, GK was just so nice and he was a terrible person. It was like GK would get the moon for him if he asked, which didn't feel right.

Not knowing how to handle it, he did what he always did, which was to run away. In this case away from sobriety.

	He knows that tone. He also knows she wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. Jay heads for the roof quickly. "Hey... what's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth stands up to hug Jay and whispers in his ear. "Somewhere, we went from relationships to genocide. I think he has Complex-PTSD" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Beer does that." he agrees, taking note of the situation. "Hey, Eli, right? Can I have one of those?" he asks, heading Eli's direction, after he releases the hug given to Ruth in return. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Where'd you come from?" He asks, not having noticed Jay coming up. "If you want. Not bad. Not good. Cheap stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth will blink a little at the prospect of Jay's having a beer, because that could lead places that only complicate things further. But he's not necessarily going to really drink it and she trusts him, so she jsut backs off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2011-05-14 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Jay shrugs. "I'm not going to drink it, so it doesn't matter. But if one person is having a beer, someone else should. Sucks to drink totally alone, so I can go through the motions, right? I've been sober a year now... not quite ready to break my streak yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Goodie for him. He gets passed a beer and Eli takes a fresh one. "It smells nicer here. Less ... ash... and smoke.. and death. Lot less death. 'Cept for the zombies, but that was just fucking weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth just listens and makes a small affirming sound from a little to the side. She knew Jay wasn't going to do anything stupid (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay sits down on the roof, setting the beer in easy reach. It served its purpose, shifting the topic, for the time being anyway. "Yeah, yeah that was. I didn't like dying and being one of them very much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-05-14 03:03 am UTC (link)
	"Probably better if you stayed dead." He says it in a forlorn lost voice, his mind clearly not seeing what's here but what was to be. "Less painful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2011-05-14 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Ruth... decides to remain silent because she can't believe he said that to Jay and just how bad is this and now is not the time to mention out loud how much this guy needs a psychiatrist... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nah, I have too much to live for." he replies without flinching. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Give it a few years. You'll be dead then. And everyone else will be too. No magic rings to bring you back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've been dead once. I didn't like it, but everyone at home always predicted I'd die young. A few years with Ruth is worth it, if that's what happens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-05-14 03:18 am UTC (link)
	He laughs. It's off kilter and highly drunk. "Then we'll all burn together unless we kill them all first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2011-05-14 03:21 am UTC (link)
	"That could be. Of course, we'd need to make sure we have the right 'them', or we're really screwed. Regardless... we live right now, not in the future. If I only have a few years, there's things I'd rather do than go on a killing spree." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-05-16 01:59 am UTC (link)
	"You live right now, I live in the future. I'm from the future!" He snarls getting up. His wings spread out, though if it's to keep his balance or to be threatening it's hard to tell. His face his full of wrath and it looks like he wants to hurt someone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Jayhawk!"

Jay was not about to be threatened by a violent drunk, at least not without ability to defend himself.

"You're from A future. I don't know a lot about how it all works, but considering we've had people from the Legion show up, and their future ain't like yours? Think maybe the future doesn't have to happen the way yours did? Now why don't you settle down, and maybe we can work this out?"

	"Mourning Dove." If Jay's going to change, so is she. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-05-18 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Watching the both of them change, Eli steps backward, his eyes wide. His head flicks back and forth at the two of them and he mumbles. "You're against me... you all are... trying to get me killed... that's it. Kill me no aliens... no one to warn them. You want them to come don't you? "Well you won't have me!" And with that he steps off the building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2011-05-18 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Without hesitation, Jay leaps after him, trying to tackle Eli before he can get away. If they can settle him down, he hopes this will all be more workable when Eli is sober - but right now, he's dangerous. Besides, the Hawk side is not liking the idea of letting a drunk half angel run rampant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Be careful!" Ruth says hurriedly (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli snaps his wings open before he can drop more than a few feet. Drunk or not he can still fly. Still, unexpected Jay is unexpected and he doesn't compensate for his sudden weight and starts to tumble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2011-05-18 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Jay has let his Hawk nature take over, letting his combat sense guide him, holding tight with one super strong hand and pounding with the other, quite happy to send them both crashing hard. "You should have listened, we ain't trying to kill you... but I'll beat some sense into you if I have to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
