- "Alright you two, I'll be back in a few hours. Can you buffoons manage to stay out of trouble until then?
- >You could practically feel your eyes rolling out of their sockets as you let out a dispassionate groan
- "If anyone's going to be causing trouble Adagio, it's not going to be me"
- >Adagio crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow at you, a gesture you've become irritatingly familiar with over the last thousand years
- >It's not like the difference in years matters at this point
- >You've never missed a beat like The Idiot, or gotten overly ambitious like a certain someone
- >Yet here you stand, derided still as if you can't be trusted to watch the house
- >You're just a smart as "the leader"
- >You're prettier than both of them
- >Your snarky comebacks are way better than either of theirs
- >No longer, not another day!
- >You've had enough of Adagio treating you like you're equal to that clown
- >You've had enough of being support on every song
- >By the Gods you are Aria Blaze, and everyone is going to know your name
- >Your head rolls up, cocked and ready to give Adagio a lashing like none she's felt since the 1200s
- "Adagio! Yo-"
- >She already left
- "...Fuck me running..."
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- >You stand there for several minutes processing what just transpired
- >It's the same every time
- >Adagio treats you like her right hand
- >She uses you for everything
- >She looks to you when she's gauging the audience
- >She looks to you when she tells jokes and wants credit
- >She even looks at you when you're both just laughing at The Idiot
- >Yet when she doesn't need you, she just forgets about you entirely
- >You're only there for her validation
- >She's never there for yours!
- >You'd think you'd be numb to this when you spend so much time with her.
- >Days...Months...Years...Generations...
- >This bitterness is always fresh
- >The biggest downside of always being together with these jerks
- "Hmm...I wonder if this is how The Idiot feels..."
- >You think about it for a moment and reflect
- >This isn't the first time you've thought about this, but maybe you're harder on Sonata than you ought to be
- >Sure she's an idiot, but...well she's an idiot
- >You could definitely use that
- >Ugh, maybe that's how Adagio feels about you...
- >Well things don't have to stay this way
- >Maybe if you treat her more as the equal Adagio sees you two as, then you can work together
- >You can be the one to make the first step, show Sonata you're the one worthy of being respected
- >Adagio will finally be forced to acknowledge you!
- >You turn, feeling that maybe some of this reflection has stuck for once
- "Hey Sonat-..."
- >She already left
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- >It's raining out tonight
- >Watching the rain always makes you feel better
- >The outside and inside feel the same, you're not the only one miserable
- >Well...at least that would be the case if Sonata didn't like the rain too
- >You just can't have anything of your own with those two around can you?
- >A gust of wind picks up and rain starts pelting the window violently
- "Yeah, you and me both buddy..."
- >"Hellooo? Ariaaa?"
- >You roll your eyes as you finish hooking your jacket up
- >All these years and it still amazes you how poor her pattern recognition can be
- "Leave her be Sonata. You know how Aria gets when she spaces out."
- >You unload your bags on the counter and separate the containers into neat stacks
- >"Yeah, I guess you're right", Sonata snickers.
- >You push the obnoxiously colorful boxes and accompanying sauce packs toward her
- "There, and make sure you don't leave trash in your room this time. The napkins are for the inevitable mess, not art projects."
- >"Okaaay. You try to redecorate one time..."
- >She nabs a box and holds it close, checking its contents excitedly
- >Discontent flashes across her face however, and in its place a cartoonishly innocent expression quickly forms
- >Her wide eyes lock directly on you, and her lip quivers slightly in a pout
- >"Heeey Daagii? If Aria's in one of her moods then could I mayyybe..."
- >It would be a respectable effort, if not for the playful smile you see her fighting
- >You sigh and pinch the bridge of your nose
- >If there's any being less subtle than the scum we're forced to share this world with, it's Sonata
- >You reach behind your box pile and reveal a colorfully wrapped semicircle
- "No, but you can have this."
- >"Yay! Thanks Adagio!" She says excitedly before running off
- "That was supposed to be a snack, so I don't wanna hear about the stomach ache later!"
- >You look around the room for a minute, eyes settling on Aria's position next to the window.
- >You feel a soft sigh exist your lips as you turn back to the counter
- "Idiots."
- >You catch sight of a familiar yellow and red haired woman chasing her umbrella on the street
- >She's soaking wet and panting as she follows it back and forth
- >Each time she's finally close enough she lunges, but without fail the wind jerks the hemisphere suddenly away
- >On her fourth attempt her foot catches the sidewalk and she falls into a puddle
- >Despite yourself, a sardonic smirk creeps unabatingly
- "I guess today could be worse~♪."
