Reality Check | Donixity

3RD PERSON POV:

---------------------

"When are you going to just.. I don't know, talk to him?"

Lynix sighs. Kiply has a point. It's been a few months since Lynix officially called quits on their friendship and the gap where Doni used to be.. it's not fillable. Not replaceable.

Everyone around them sees it. They pretty obviously miss eachother. Painfully obvious, too. Not even a surprise get-together got them to interact.

Instead, Lynix sits on the couch with Batman laying on his lap purring, with Kiply and Pepper sitting and scrolling through medias together.

Courtney was- well, long gone, and in the middle of a lawsuit. Doni is obviously going to win, even if he testified for himself, since Courtney just left a trail of evidence against herself out in the open for anyone to see.

Lynix on the other hand was still on his hiatus. He posted a little bit about his brother, updated on the treatment and talked in his Discord- but what was the point of his channel without Doni? Just hanging out with Liger was nice considering they were finally on good terms with Courtney out of the picture-- but it was numbing, almost painful without the usual banter of his owl friend.

"Hey, guys, are you going to that party later?"

Pepper broke the silence, freeing Lynix from his thoughts. "Party?? What party??"

Pepper slightly flushes saying the next bit, making Kiply laugh at him. "Well, Skiddzie invited me to a pretty big party at Ligers new place later, and advised I invite you two-"

Lynix mockingly laughs at him; "I'll think about it, didn't know you and Skiddzie were that close now?"

"Yeah, I mean, is that why you've been so busy Pepper?" Kiply retorts, by now Pepper's face was a bright red, clumsily blocked by his sunglasses. 

"Dude, shut up, we're just friends--" Pepper glares at the duo before huffing, going back to his peaceful doomscrolling. He couldn't have made it more obvious that they'd been seeing eachother, huh?

Batman eventually pounces off of Lynix's lap, jumping up to Kiply for whatever reason.
This gave Lynix the perfect window to stand up & stretch- which he takes gracefully.

"So, when is said party?" Lynix asks, twisting his torso.

"Around 10-ish, why?" Pepper blinks, a little confused on why Kiply and Lynix had now been looking at them like they had six eyes.

In perfect sync, the two yelled; "PEPPER, IT'S ALREADY 6PM!"

Pepper grins. "I forgot you guys took ten years to get ready for any event, really- my bad-"

......

The water hits him like miniature bullets, and he's not too sure why..

Every little task feels like it reminds him of Doni. The two had never even shared a shower before and his mind was caught in a web of thoughts that only seemed to leave himself when he accidentally got a glob of his conditioner in his eye.

He hisses; "JESUS-- OW??" The last part turns into a shriek- Nothing new for him, but he also knows Doni would've been laughing at him right now--

Lynix shuts off the water, balling a towel to his eye with a loud sigh emerging from his person. Maybe they were right, it was probably time to hear what Doni had to say.

He'd spent extra time just ironing his shirt only for it to probably be ruined by a crimson hoodie he'd recently gotten as fanmail- Besides, if this was a "big party", he's pretty sure no one would care if he'd been overdressed or underdressed. Either way, he was on a time crunch now, since Kiply did text him to be ready in 15 minutes, about ten minutes ago..

Whatever, she could wait the.. Uh, how long does it take to do his hair again?
