Akki had stared down at his hands not paying attention to his friends as his thoughts traveled back to the institution. Sterile, white, calm, peaceful, and he wanted to watch it burn, he wanted to laugh as he watched the place burn and the orderlies scramble to rebuild their perfect world. Nothing was perfect, everyone was fucked up. He just had the nerve to show it outwardly, god forbid. His eyes glazed over, even worse he had gone home. That had just been wonder-fucking-full, there had been no escaping from his father when he was home. If he tried to leave it only made it worse later.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œChicken, Betcha wonâ€™t even jump."</span>Duncan had slung his arm around Akki's neck and grinding his knuckles against his face. Akki growled playfully, Duncan always picked on him. Akki assumed it was because he was the youngest but no one was ever quite sure what was going on in Duncan's head. Either way he sort of looked up to Duncan, not that he would ever admit such aloud but he liked Duncan.<br/><br/>However when Duncan grabbed his throat and started to squeeze Akki nearly flipped. His throat was already bruised from his fatherâ€™s "welcome", and feeling pressure there again caused a near panic. When he let go Akki touched his bruised throat wondering if there was any clear bruising there.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œSuch a coward. Youâ€™re not a real man. Probably wonâ€™t even go up to the edge.â€</span>Duncan tapped Akki's temple and as much as it annoyed him Akki turned a droll stare on Duncan. Of course he would jump. He wouldn't be the only one who didn't. He was already enough of a target.<span style="font-style: italic"> â€œIâ€™ll push you, think heâ€™ll scream the most like a girl, donâ€™t you Ela?" </span>Akki scoffed and laughed slightly.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I don't know. Maybe he will suprise you."</span>Elana said and Akki laughed again he wouldn't scream...he hadn't screamed in years.<br/>"Trust me man, I'll jump all by myself. I'm a big boy now remember? Don't need you pushing me everywhere. And I won't scream." Akki laughed leaning his head back against the seat, letting his hair fall into his face covering his blue eyes as he looked at the roof. With his friends here it was almost easy to forget everything, but always in the back of his mind he knew that when he went home it would all go shit. But he didn't have to think about it now.<br/><br/>Akki was pulled from his thoughts when Kyle threatened Duncan, Akki often wondered how the hell Kyle could drive the way he did when he turned around like that Akki thought they were going to crash. He was sure one day Kyle would kill them all that way. Not that he cared, and Kyle did know the roads. So why bother worrying about it? There was none. Akki smiled slightly and stared back out the window watching the scenery fly by.
