To Err is Human, to Forgive Divine

“Why do ye n'ver listen t’ me, Seung?”
Jineun’ri Bladewind stomped into Seung’s office the next morning. This alerted the Moonkeeper, as he stood up to shake off the nerves. He brought his right hand to his shoulder to massage and gave the Sunseeker a focused look.

“What are you going on about?”
There was a scowl on the other’s face. “Tsk, ye know exactly what I’m talkin’ about. Ye and Ivory- Twelve be damned, brother, why don’t ye just get rid of him fer good?” He slammed the desk before him. This scared Seung; his teeth gritting at the pressure coming from Jin.
“Didn’t I tell you that Ivory means so much to me already?” Seung narrowed his eyes, his feelings tiding over all else. “My memories came back to me all of a sudden; all the joyous times and difficult events I’ve gone through… they were all with Ivory. My feelings returned as well, and my heart aches throughout my body. Why do you keep bothering me with such trivial nonsense, Jin?”
Unbelief swept across the Sunseeker’s face. There was a moment of silence between the two. Neither could figure out the reasoning of the other, making it even more frustrating than it looks.

“Ye did nothing wrong. Ye becoming tainted by the Void, and then ‘im running off to who-knows-where… He’s probably hurting ye indirectly wit another Miqo!” Jin growled with hatred in his eyes. “He tried to flirt wit me while ye weren’t feeling well. Tells ye how much of an arse he really is.”
Seung’ri already knew of this. He sighed, glancing at the ceiling light hanging above them. True, it did bother him before- so many lovers, friends, random strangers even. The man was a bit promiscuous. However…
“Jin, it really doesn’t bother me anymore.”
The dark Miqo’te’s ears shot up. “What?”
“I said what I said. You’re so straight sometimes…”
“So yer saying yer…”
“I prefer both, to be honest.”
The Sunseeker grimaced. He kept muttering under his breath, but not audible enough for Seung to hear. He crossed his arms, looking to ask more questions. “Doesn’t it bother ye who he’s out there with twenty ‘ther people in his arms?”

“Of course it did,” Seung frowned. “It used to bother me, and it still does to an extent. Yet… I still love him. Yes, I find it odd that he’s in polyamorous - well, at least on my end - affairs. He still gives me the attention that I yearn for.
“I threw it all away when I left him on a trip for self-discovery; I didn’t give a single thought to go see him when I returned to my normal self. That’s why I want to truly tell him that I’m sorry. He was the one who held the relationship together. I did stupid things that probably hurt him immensely. So please, Jin, stop telling me that what I did was right.”
Jin kept quiet, his hands unclenched from listening to Seung’s side of the story. He turned around, his body slouched as if he was defeated.

“Damn, if only I didn’t shoot me mouth every single bell, I would have heard yer side ‘f the story…” He gave a loud huff of air. “Ye know how much the Au Ra keeps bothering me, as if I’m another cat he can play wit.”
There was a small smile coming from Seung. “He prefers more of the tanned variety of Miqo’tes, unfortunately.”
Under the hair, Seung could see the apologetic side to his friend. It was common when they were younger and fought alot about childish things. It was good that they still had the same connection as before.
“Ye want to come get a drink wit me?” Jin asked, waiting to feel relief at last.
The Moonkeeper nodded. “Haven’t gone out for something like that in a while, my brother.”
With the tension disappearing, they left the office for a more relaxing time with each other.
