"Dakota," Talon said seriously, "You don't have to apologise, okay? To be completely honest with you, I only maybe blame you because I'm still around to do so. I've been unstable and suicidal for a while. From my perspective, you gave me the motivation to do what I'd been wanting to." Once he had said it, he realised those words were not the best to say. Maybe that was where the phrase 'too much information' came from.
He sat up and swung his legs over the side of his bed when Dakota walked over. He looked up at his roommate and shrugged. "Well I don't think they're just going to change the room assignments because we're having issues," he said, trying for a joke. "So yeah, we can be roommates again." He stared at the space between them. "Is this where we shake hands or hug or something?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

"I still am sorry. No matter what you say, I'm still going to be, so you might as well give it up, Talon," Dakota told his roommate. He'd pushed him over the edge. Talon knew it. He knew it. There was no use telling him not to apologize when clearly he'd done some damage.
"That's not what I meant," he pointed out when Talon made a joke out of it. He seemed to do that as a way of handling things he didn't want to deal with, but Dakota could understand it. "If they do, they should get rid of our other roommate, he's annoying the shit out of me." He managed a grim smile. "But I'm glad you accept being my roommate again, even though technically you never stopped." He stared back at Talon for a long moment, debating what to do. "Uh, I think so. A shake is probably a better idea, huh?" He held out his hand, awkwardly.
OOC: Omg, I feel like we mention this roommate so much and just have given him this personality and he doesn't even exist. xD

ooc: Haha we basically have built him. I wonder if he ships Takota but is now mad at Dakota for sinking the ship xD
ic:
"Fine. Be sorry, then. I don't really care," Talon said moodily. "But your regret and your apology isn't going to change anything. So just know that."
He glanced over at their third roommate's empty bed when Dakota mentioned him. "He's not so bad. He's hardly here. But I'll tell him to leave you alone if that's what you want. He shouldn't blame you for what I did to myself." He looked back up at Dakota. "No one should be blamed for what I did."
A part of him had been wanting a hug, but he knew that would only lead to more issues. He had to stop wanting Dakota. He could not have him. So he held out his hand and grasped Dakota's briefly before pulling his hand back and retreating to his bed. "I guess now I can stop avoiding you," he muttered from his corner.

"Yeah, I get it. I'll try to work on the not blaming myself thing, but I make no promises," Dakota told him. He knew that things were messed up and that it was mostly his fault, but he was still glad that Talon didn't seem to want to hate him for the rest of eternity.
He wasn't surprised at Talon for avoiding him. That had been obvious as to why. "That would be ideal," he told him, after his hand dropped to his side. He couldn't help but be attracted to Talon, but he knew it wasn't right for the both of them.

"And I'll try to not, I don't know, want to kiss you anymore," he said, then cracked a smile. "But I'm not making any promises." He crawled under his blankets, not feeling like getting dressed completely. It was still early for him to go to sleep, but his bed was a lot more comfortable than the couches in the common area. He would be able to sleep here tonight with no issues. Well, as long as he did not actually allow himself to sleep. The nightmares had not stopped.
"You need to figure out if you're gay or bi, dude," he said, passing his cigarette to his lips again. "You should go to a gay club or bar or something. It's easier to get into those when you're younger than a regular club, and no one will expect a relationship out of you if you grind against them or make out with them on the dance floor."

Dakota smiled sadly over at his roommate as he crawled onto bed and pulled his sheets over him. It was hard knowing that Talon had feelings for him and he didn't know what the hell he wanted.
He collapsed down onto his back again, staring up at the ceiling and listening to Talon's suggestions. "I know you're right, I'm just...not really into the whole club atmosphere." He didn't remember the last time he'd done something like that. "I'm not so sure I can just go there on my own." He was also nervous about his power acting up again.

"Gay clubs are more fun. And I'm not just saying that because I'm biased," Talon said, remembering his first time at one. It had been a great time and he had felt calm for once. Just able to forget everything going on in his life and let go. And he didn't even drink. Just danced.
"The girls are nicer, too, but they won't think you're hitting on them if you try," he added.
"And I'd offer to go with you, but that's entirely up to you. We wouldn't go together, but we'd go together, if you know what I mean." Talon had gone alone, and it had been fun. He didn't have to worry about anyone but himself, but he would not mind introducing it to Dakota, either. "If you're interested, that is. Just a suggestion."

Dakota raised an eyebrow at Talon as he talked about gay clubs and what the atmosphere was like. He'd never been very big on parties or clubbing, although he'd done it a few times, before his power ruined everything. He nodded as he listened, considering the idea. It would help him open up about his sexuality and make a decision about what his was, but the idea was also sort of terrifying in a weird way.
"You'd go with me? I mean, not with me...but...." he trailed off, trying not to sound even more awkward and resisting the urge to face palm right there. "I'd...I'd like to have someone to show me the ropes." Did that sound right? Talon was nice to even offer that. Dakota knew he seemed like a lost cause.

Talon looked over at Dakota and nodded. "Yeah, I'd go with you. I mean not any time too soon. I'm not exactly allowed to just go out like that right now," he admitted, picking at the bandage on his wrist. "But eventually. It could be fun." He shrugged and sunk into his bed. It was warm and comfortable and perfect. Yes, beds were perfect. If only he could stay in bed for the rest of his life. That would not be so terrible, except for the fact that he might fall asleep. He had had enough of nightmares. But the longer he lay there, his head on his pillow as he smoked the last drag of his cigarette, the more tired he grew. Since he had woken in the hospital he had not had much sleep. It seemed the lack of sleep was beginning to seriously catch up with him. Talon's eyelids kept drooping and it was all he could do to keep them open.
