The Trapped in a Box Meme



You're stuck a box. It's not a particularly spacious one, nor are you too certain as to how you got there. All you know that the box is small, a little dark and cramped, and at least someone else is stuck in there with you.

Oh. And did I mention that the box is virtually indestructible? No? Well, now I did.

1. Post with your muse
2. Other characters reply ICly as the other occupant of the box.
3. Reply to others for some personal space invading fun! (with occasional box-rolling)
4. ????
5. Profit!

I know why.

[He's glad it's so dark in here, because there's something intensely embarrassing about the way Zaki just blurts shit like that right out.]

But you know I'm-- doing whatever the fuck it is I'm doing with Near.

[anpan_tan]

I know. That's why I tried to stay away from you.

[He knows, yet, it hurts. A lot.]

If we don't meet I'll forget you in a week. Or less than a week.

[want_the_world]

I hope I'm not that easy to forget!

I can't believe it worked!

[anpan_tan]

[He is not and he should know about it.]

I'll do.

Right in the pride, man, it always works! XD

[want_the_world]

I don't believe you.

[But he isn't, and doesn't sound, 100% certain.]

ALWAYS? You'll be the guest of honor of my wedding! XD

[anpan_tan]

Why, it is what you want, don't you? And if this is what you want? I'll do it for you. A last gift from your ex-secret-admirer.

[Yamazaki tries not to think his Mello-less future...after all, he has Sheena.

But it's hard for him not to cry.]

:D

[want_the_world]

When did I ever say that's what I want?

[anpan_tan]

[Really, when did he say it? Never.]

What do you want, then? Being loved by someone who doesn't have neither the right nor the slightest chance to...

[To do what?]

...to get a kind word, a honest smile, a worried look when I'm down. What do you want?

[want_the_world]

I don't want you to talk about love.

[anpan_tan]

What do you want to talk about, then?

[want_the_world]

[Yeah, Mello's a lot ofkind of a liar.]

You don't, you know. Love me.

[He says 'love' as if it tastes bad.]

You might think you do, but you don't know me well enough.

[anpan_tan]

Yes, I don't know you well enough.

[He doesn't know Mello as much as he'd like to.]

But I'd like to.

[want_the_world]

[Why does he have to say stuff like that? It's embarrassing.]

I'd break your heart. And I'd rather not.

[anpan_tan]

[Why does he have to say things like this? It hurts. But he just chuckles bitterly.]

You can't. Break my heart.

[He so wants to believe this.]

Let's not speak about this thing anymore. I'll go with you to the field trip. We'll be...acquaintances from now on. The end.

[want_the_world]

[Nope, not working, Zaki.]

Why can't I?

[anpan_tan]

[Yamazaki sighs. This guy is a sadist.]

You're not...not...enough. You're almost everything but it's not enough.

[Two liars sat in a box...]

[want_the_world]

I don't even want to be almost everything. Not to anyone.

And you shouldn't let anyone have that much power over you.

[anpan_tan]

It's not my fault that...there are things you couldn't give me even if you wanted to. It's not my fault you're so introverted and unable to act kindly.

[He tumbles a bit but stiffens in the moment when he touches something. It's just the box, but he thinks it's Mello.]

Why shouldn't I? It doesn't mean I'm weak. It means the person I...that you're strong enough for both of us. You...you are strong enough for you and Near-san, you saved him.

[want_the_world]

[Introverted? Yes, Mello's offended at that. ...not so much at the other accusations.]

Near didn't need saving.

And it's not my fault, either. I'm not cut out for this shit, Zaki. I can't stand the idea of the co-dependence most people call love.

[anpan_tan]

So he didn't need saving, yet you injured awfully in trying to save him.

No, it's not your fault. I'm sorry, Mello, I didn't want to force this thing on you. Let's not talk about it anymore.
