[Notes of the Angel Pt. 2 - Deaf Ears]
Falls on deaf ears, [Idiom] a statement, opinion or suggestion is ignored.
POV : Clay Terran
How do you tell a friend that they can't be so worried over things they can't control? That's the problem I'm having with Apollo right now. I understand; he just died, and his two best friends (not counting me) are arguing over him.
I can't say I felt the same way, since a) I wasn't really friends with Athena and b) I wasn't curious over how I died.
I admit, I was a little worried for Apollo when that incident happened. But he had recovered afterwards, so I suppose it was all fine.
Here I am once more, watching Apollo fret over his still-living friends. He doesn't see what I've seen while he was still alive, and he hasn't even realised he has feelings for him yet.
It's too bad that even if he realises now, it would still be too late.
Gazing at the twinkling stars that surround the heavens is what I like doing best. After all, I really really liked space since I was young. But every time I do so, there's a sort of melancholy to it too. I guess it comes from having wanted to go to space but never actually doing so.
It's really what I do to destress around here; although there really isn't much stress in the first place.
Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened should I have gone to space in the end.
"Apollo, relax a little! Eventually, they'll find out the truth and stop fighting, you know," I say, even as he paces around for no apparent reason.
"But Trucy-" he protested, only to be interrupted by me once more.
"Look, I know you are really worried for your half-sister, and the fact that she's no longer doing magic tricks, but she'll return to doing what she enjoys best."
"...I know what you're saying, but... are you sure that any of them will even be back to how they were before I died?"
I couldn't reply, although I already knew the answer.
A/N : Yes, I know, I probably screwed up Clay's personality. There really isn't much information about it in the first place though. Literally the only confirmed fact I know about this guy is that he loves space to death.
Also, if you read the rest of the upcoming chapters, you'll find out that the way the afterlife in this story operates is similar to that of my other story, Past Lifes. [shameless plug for own story]
