closed ► you would take the breath from my throat

[fujibayashi]

Date & Time: 6/23, around 5pm.
Location: Room 103.
Characters: Zelos (wilder) and Sheena (holeseeker)
Summary: Sheena's checking in like she promised.
Warnings: Tsunderes and feelings and failure everywhere.


[It's kind of late. Sheena knows this, but she doesn't really care. She hesitates before knocking quietly on the door to Zelos' apartment. Hopefully she can catch him before he's left for the night shift. If not, she'll just leave the food and go, and they can talk later. Or never.

But... there's something nagging at her. She hasn't been entirely reasonable with him lately, and this is the best she can do for an apology.

Her grip on the edges of the covered bowl tightens slightly. She looks to the side, waiting for someone to answer the door.]

Comments

[wilder]

Oh...right.

[he remembers that, how willing she was to just give up her life like that. How much it pissed him off and freaked him out, even if he was planning on doing the same thing later]

Well, for what it's worth I'm glad you decided not to have that kind of future.

[fujibayashi]

[She was pretty pissed off at /him/, too, until the others came in and reminded her of what Colette went through.

Though his statement is quiet, it means a lot. She might call him a friend but he doesn't-- really say stuff like that, not frequently. Only when it counts. Her hands hesitate around the edges of the lid, and then she presses it down to lock the container.]

I'm not sure it was something I chose. It just... happened.

[She had no idea the journey would go the way it did.]

Anyway... There's plenty to worry about right in front of me, right now, so...

[wilder]

Heh...yeah, guess it did.

[He rubs the back of his neck, feeling a bit awkward after saying something nice like that. But...he can take a guess what some of the things to worry about it]

Sorry. I'm sure I've caused you a lot of worries.

[fujibayashi]

[Sheena looks at him with a mild expression. Surprisingly, she smiles.]

No more than usual.

[It's just how they are. Even if they have hiccups like... a minute ago.

She slides a hand into the back of her obi and pulls out the tablet. A brief glance at the digital clock tells her that it's getting kind of late. If she's not back for dinner, Axel and Riku might go looking for her or something. Honestly? She's kind of exhausted. Talking to Zelos is always exhausting in a way, but she keeps saying the wrong thing...

She gently pushes in her chair, fingers lingering across the top of the wood.]

I should probably head back. [A pause.] Um, if you need anything...

[God, she's so bad at this.]

[wilder]

[Whoa, a smile. He can't help but stare a little bit at it and-]

[- Ah no. We are not going down that road. It doesn't matter what he picked up a few minutes ago, we are not-]

[He'll clear his throat, forcing himself to snap out of anything, before giving a lazy smile back]

Aha- right. Your roommates might start to worry.

[need anything? Jeez-] Uh- yeah, right across the hall! I know where you are.

[fujibayashi]

[... He probably knows where she is all the time, if he can hear when she's coming and going. ... That's a little weird. We're not going to think about that, okay.]

Right. Stay off that leg, okay?

[This is so damn awkward. She doesn't wait for him to show her the door-- considering he's on crutches-- but she gives him one last wave before leaving the apartment.

She has a lot to think about.]

1/2

[wilder]

[Sheena if he listened all the time he'd be in such a bitchy mood all the time from the constant headache.]

[Then again maybe that is part of his bitchy mood. Living in an apartment complex SUCKS]

Heh, I will....thanks, for coming by.

[He'll give her a wave as she leaves the apartment.]

[wilder]

[And then the moment she's gone and the door is closed? That waving hand turns and smacks his forehead before covering his face with it]

...This is not good.
