[dead_black_eyes]

Who: Lazarus and Tony
What: Too many feels to handle, relationship woes and endings.
Where: L and Cesar's apartment... minus a Cesar ;;
When: After the breakup
Warnings: FEELS, candid relationship talk, poorly managed mental illness



Cesar had left with the explicit understanding that Lazarus would be looked after and reach out to those he could trust and count on. It's not like there aren't a multitude of those people in this very same building, better equipped to deal with unmedicated episodes without the painful, raw emotional baggage that still hangs between the two men in the form of Cesar's deceased brother.

But now that the glass has been cleaned up and the bandages and stitches have been applied where necessary, Lazarus hasn't really followed through. He's preferred to be alone and keep this a secret for now, and even though he realizes that Cesar might possibly have contacted people to give them a heads up about the severity of this situation as a whole, he might also have just gotten far away as fast as possible. Assuming the best, he trusts Lazarus even now to do what's needed; assuming the worst, he's already trying to forget.

Lazarus tries not to think of it, or the pills that continue to dwindle in supply. It's a quiet day, as they go, and he makes the best of it by trying to get some sleep. The bed is no longer shared, but he takes a pillow and blanket to the couch all the same.

Tony had indeed been contacted, and while he was understandably worried he'd kept his distance for a short while to give Lazarus his space and a chance to come forward on his own. Having failed that for longer than Tony's patience runs, he finally made the decision to visit on his own terms.

By now he's worried, if it's really getting bad who knows what might happen? So Tony decides its time to drop by and pay a visit.

A polite knock at the door heralds his arrival, followed by a sharp "L! 'Ey, you in?" A customary Tony way of saying 'I'm not leaving until you let me in so you might as well do it.'
