 ---FINGERS stumbling across the glossy screen of his iphone, theo realized that his count of six beers may have been somewhat off. it was most likely accurate about an hour or so ago, but now... he felt nauseous, his vision blurred around the edges. at least he was conscious enough to be aware of the nausea, he supposed. sighing dramatically as he gave up on texting ithika back, he pulled open his laptop to see if she was online, though he knew not having the benefit of autotext might hinder his sentiment somewhat. struck by a better idea, theo opened up skype, clicking her name and pressing call. he was suddenly aware of what a shit visual the exotic girl would be met with, empty beer cans littering the desk, his hair disheveled and falling in his face, not to mention the fact he was in boxers and little else. his concerns dissipated the second her face flickered up on screen, however, and his face broke out into a grin. "ithikaaa!" he beamed, dragging her name out. "hey gorgeous, you busy?" ignoring what a redundant question that was, theo felt instantly soothed just by the sight of her. with an opinion of his parents so low that they were practically dead to him and a brother he loved enough but deeply struggled to like, ithika was as close to family as theo had. granted, his familial feelings towards her were tainted with what would therefore classify as incestuous lust, but he paid little attention to that complication.

- - - Resisting the urge to fall back asleep after responding to his last text, ithika groaned into her pillow at the concept of getting out of bed. it was an unnatural time of the night and simply looking at the screen of her phone was bad enough in the dark room, let alone the computer screen. squinting slightly, she checked her emails while awaiting another reply that didn't come. already awake, there was no point in going back to sleep when the boy needed her. theodore's words touched her and disturbed her all in one crashing wave, which made her all that much more uncomfortable. his words should have made her uncomfortable, but they made her cheeks flush even in the privacy of her bedroom. the sound of the call didn't hit her ears nearly as bad as the texts had, but it still made her skin crawl. before she could get a word out, the sound of his voice saying her name caused her to stifle a laugh. covering her mouth with one hand while he finished speaking, ithika took in the his appearance and that of his surroundings. if she had any doubts before that he had more alcohol than he was owning up to, she was certain of it at this point. "oh teddy, tell me what's going on,"
[/color] yawning by the end of her sentence, she propped herself up enough to keep from slipping back to sleep. "do you know what time it is? of course i'm not busy." there was always a soft spot for him somewhere inside her, and through all the chaos of her relationship with his brother, he had always been able to make her smile. even as she had split with caspian the most recent time, she had the idea in her head that it was okay because theodore would be there to make her feel better about it all. even if it was a selfish thought when she knew of the troubles in his own relationship. things used to be so easy and straight-forward, but everything became muddled as of late. glancing at the computer screen, even in his drunken state he brought a smile to her face and a blush to her cheeks at his appearance. there was moments like this where she felt like a fourteen year old girl who had never seen a boy so exposed.

---ONLY in drunkenness did theo allow himself to be honest. even within himself theo never allowed certain thoughts to cross his mind, his lack of control over himself limited purely to matters of aggression and angst. boyish vices. theo's emotional vulnerability was something he strove to deny even existing, but it was present within him in a way he knew it was absent in his brother - even with another girl straddling him, even with unfamiliar skin against his own, his lust was mingled with guilt and disgust. caspian's affection for others was so fleeting that theo for one had difficulty seeing how it could even exist, what with his brother's willingness to cause others suffering. as much as he had idolized the older boy his entire life, caspian's lack of empathy both unnerved and frustrated theo, and the older he got the less emulated this nefarious behavior. though he only knew ithika because of caspian's long-term involvement with her, theo couldn't imagine his life without the girl, and caspian's recklessness in his treatment of her felt like an insult to him at least half as much as it must have to her. theo was determined to undo as much of the damage caspian had done to her as he possibly could, his drunkenness spurring his quest forward.
---seeing the sleepy girl emerge, he watched her perfectly sculpted lips pull into a yawn with an affection that made it feel as though his heart might implode in his chest. though the alcohol was of course exaggerating his responses, theo knew, if he was truly honest with himself, that there was no smoke without fire. "nothing," he admitted, smiling a little sheepishly now, "just wanted to see your face. go back to sleep." theo had never been romantic, any of his girlfriends would vouch for that. he figured punching a guy for offering to buy his date a drink classified as the height of romance, frequently making the same slip up that so many other rich boys did in substituting sentiment with wealth. but ithika was different, ithika managed to stop him being so on edge. even now, with he so obviously inebriated and the hour ungodly, he knew ithika wouldn't abandon him. "that's a great look on you, by the way," he said with a smirk, nodding towards her outfit and cracking open a fresh can of beer as he did so.

- - - No matter what ithika told herself these days, she didn't truly know what she was doing with her life anymore. there was always the image that she would be married to caspian with a family someday, but this all required them both to grow up more than he was even willing to. he had always done things that ithika didn't agree with, but as the years went on, it lost it's youthful charm and became more unnerving. she tried to be there and she tried to ignore the actions but the lying, cheating, and fighting was beginning to wear on the girl. only recently had the fighting escalated to a point which ithika was completely incapable of processing how it had become so bad, so fast. things had sped from yelling to becoming physical in a matter of what felt like minutes and instead of dealing with it, she had shoved it to the furthest corner of her mind along with all the girls he had slept with during their relationship. through it all she was content knowing that theodore was a call away and was generally the best support system a girl could find. the two brothers were beyond opposites, even if she was the only one to realize it, and there were too many arguments brought about on caspian's treatment of his younger brother but it was something that she could not admit to him about.
- - - Grabbing the comforter to pull around her shoulders, ithika smiled as she watched him talk. there was part of her that was honored at his charm, but another that beat the thought out of her mind. she knew he was intoxicated and by the looks of it he had been at it for quite some time. nothing being said could really be taken for truth. "i have no plans today, so i can always sleep later. just tell me about what you think is wrong with your life?"
[/i] ithika yawned again before stretching with the laptop sitting in front of her. "i think your life is great. you're attractive, you've got a gorgeous girlfriend, and as much as you deny, you've got a good heart, she listed quickly, ticking off each on her fingers lazily. people had always said that everything you do and said when drunk had at least a bit of truth behind it, but there was also a reason why people never remembered the things they did. "thanks, teddy. hey, why don't you put the beer down and tell me some fascinating story. or so help me i will turn you off for jersey shore."[/i] she ended with a smirk, hoping he knew that she had no intentions of actually leaving him hanging.

---THE taste of beer soothing the young man almost as much as the sight of his brother's on-off girlfriend, theo reclined back in the chair. "i would literally kill someone for a cigarette right now," he muttered to himself, starting to rummage through the wreckage that was surrounding him. annie had walked out on him (again) the day before, but the tidy state she'd left the apartment in had deteriorated at an alarming speed and now theo had to scavenge if he wanted to lay his hands on anything. sure enough, under a pile of discarded takeout menus, annie's bra and an empty red dead redemption box, there was a box of marlboro reds, two glorious smelling cigarettes fluttering around the box. "there's a god!" he informed ithika triumphantly, managing to find a match more easily and lighting up. after taking a drag his mind was momentarily cleared, and his blue eyes fell back to the bra on the floor. he suddenly felt sick all over again. for some reason her stay at a friend's hadn't bothered him on too deep a level, but when she'd walked out that door again just over twenty-four hours previously it had hit him much, much harder. he hadn't really stopped drinking since, though he'd sporadically slept. but now he was at the stage where he wanted to stop thinking about it, or at the very least, wanted to have some pity from an external source. usually it was easy to turn to ithika, but this time theo hadn't wanted to. he didn't trust himself to be around her and to not overstep boundaries, not to complicate things even more than they were already complicated.
---but if he believed skype was going to prevent this from happening, he was misguided. looking at her, gorgeous in her most natural state, theo desperately wished they were physically together so that he could settle down next to her and run his fingers through her hair. "how can you not have plans?" theo asked incredulously, assuming that everyone else had more of a life than he did. glancing away from her as she praised his life, a small smile crept across his face involuntarily and he tried to pretend it hadn't. as shallow as it was, the thought that ithika thought of him as good looking was guaranteed to make him grin. but it faded as he reflected on the other things she said, and he managed to drag his eyes back to the screen. "she left me," he admitted, taking a hefty drag on his cigarette. he groaned as she mentioned jersey shore yet again, rolling his eyes up to heaven though that smile was back on his face. "a story, alright. umm... one time i walked in on an ex girlfriend's mom in the shower, naked. as in, we were both naked. 'cause i thought it was her!" he confessed, hiding his head in his hands.

- - - While ithika watched the boy who had been her closest confidant for years rummage through the mess he'd created, she took the opportunity to jump up to turn up the lights. "i will be right back, i'm parched."
[/i] the girl sauntered from the room to search through he fridge for something to satiate the dryness in her mouth. biting her lower lip, she grabbed a bottle of sweet tea and returned to the room. plopping herself down on the bed, ithika crossed her legs in front of her and watched him rummage under what seemed to be garbage as she sipped at the tea. his triumph reminded her of a kid learning to tie his shoes and it made her laugh lightly. watching him take a drag from the cigarette and the smoke filter past his lips, she almost felt the desire to pull out her own, but she resisted the urge and took another drink instead. she didn't like to smoke in front of people, she didn't even like to smoke in the first place. "you know you're looking really james dean right now, it's adorable in an odd way," she smiled at the comparison. the short-lived actor had once been a teenage heart-throb while everyone else she knew was obsessing over celebrities that weren't deceased. "speaking of which, don't ever buy a race car." ithika took another gulp from her bottle as she shifted against the pillows at the head of her bed. - - - If nothing else, ithika had always felt herself the most comfortable when they were relaxing among a mountain of junk food and a movie. little things such as the smell of his cologne and the warmth of his body made her relax no matter how mad she was at his brother. "because i have no life, of course. i went to bad at nin o'clock, isn't that sad?!" ithika couldn't help feel like she was aging herself about twenty years going to bed so early, completely sober. shrugging it off, the brunette eyed him as he turned from the screen. "see, look at that jaw line. totally james dean. love him." she stopped for a moment to think what to say. she knew that annie and theodore's relationship was one of just as much drama as her own, but in her own mind, she figured that where her and caspian would never work through certain things, annie and theodore had all the opportunity in the world to be good together. "well... you love her,"[/i] the words fell past her lips slowly as she debated what to say on the situation, "what happened? i'm sure whatever it was, she'll get over it and be back soon enough. after all, how can anyone resist you?"[/color] she added the last trying to keep the conversation light. laughing at the idea of him doing something so ridiculous, the sound filling the empty room. "thats adorable. hey, i'll remind you when you're sober, but we should go to the underwater hotel. i'll buy you a sea horse or something."[/color] MUSIC moulin rouge. <3
