(open) i don't know how to word it
Who: Inigo and you!
When: Fiddlesticks 27
Where: Sleeper carriages, luggage carriage
What: Inigo loses a boyfriend.
Warnings: None, just a very sad Inigo.
( scenario a - sleeper carriages )
Maybe you've already noticed it, but something about Inigo today seems.. off. Or at least, extra off, considering Inigo has already seemed to be acting more strangely than usually the past few days, especially since the day of the party.
But today? Today things have seemed to reach a fever pitch. Maybe you're worried enough to go check up on him, in which case you might find the guy in one of the hallways of the sleeper carriages, near his room. If you bother to ask him what's up though, he'll just laugh.
"What? No, I'm fine! Of course I'm fine, what could po--"
That's the exact moment he turns to head into his room to try and hide from this conversation, only to forget to scan his ticket. Which means he's just walking head-first into the door, causing him to topple over to the ground.
It's fine. He's fine. This is fine.
( scenario b - luggage carriage )
Inigo is trying really hard to carry on as usually. Really, he is. Because that's just what he does. He's not someone who sits around and mopes. Sure, the circumstances here may be different than the ones back home, but old habits are hard to give up, and Inigo's oldest and most stubborn habit is definitely the thought running through his mind that he has to be okay. He has to be strong. So despite the moments where he slips up and seems off, he tries so hard to laugh. And joke. As if nothing is up.
As if he doesn't feel like his heart has been torn straight out of his body.
But it's so hard to keep it up all the time. At least the shower is a good place to cry, but when Inigo finds it occupied exactly at the moment he needs it, he quickly tries to look for another place. He knows nowhere on the train is safe to hide from everyone, but he figures the luggage carriage is at least the furthest out of the way. It's the only option right now. It's either that, or crying in the middle of the train.
Which is why if you happen to be in the luggage carriage - or went looking for him everywhere only to end up here - you may find Inigo sitting on top of some suitcases. His knees are drawn up to his chest, and although that makes it impossible to see his face from the current angle, the telltale sounds of sobs are probably all anyone needs to see what's going on here.

He nodded though, it was as much as he could promise and he was glad Inigo accepted that. Because it was true, he would never want to leave Inigo without saying goodbye. But the world rarely worked like that, there were many people he never got to say goodbye to.
He hugs him again, as if he could transfer some last bit of strength to him. "We can stay here for a bit..." Since he doubts Inigo wants to wander out with eyes red from crying.
"But then you should get something to eat." And rest somewhere that's not a pile of suitcases.
no subject
.. Or maybe he doesn't want to leave here at all, since the next part of Taiki's suggestion doesn't sound nearly as good.
He bends to lean his head against Taiki's shoulder again.
"I don't feel like eating," he mumbles.
no subject
"I'll stay with you." He promised, "As long as you want... Though you can tell me to go away, if you need to be alone."
His hand smoothed the back of Inigo's hair softly, soothing him.
no subject
He mumbles again, pressing himself even further against Taiki, to a point where Inigo almost seems like he's just boneless at this point.
"You don't need to go away. I'd never want you to go away."
There are moments where Inigo might prefer to be by himself to try and hide his pain.. But he knows that even at those moments, he secretly wishes that he had some company. Someone to lean on. Usually quite literally, considering how much he likes physical affection.
So he's more than fine with just staying like this for a while, as long as it won't trouble Taiki.
"Let's just.. stay like this for a while. Then I might start to feel better." Even if it may not exactly be the most comfortable spot to sit around.
wrap?
It's not much, but it is all he can do to try and soothe his pain.
