014. [RL with Shiro]

[ She's lying on the couch, tossing Haro up and down; she's still a bit shaken from-- well, dying-- but is more frustrated than anything else. It would have been fun if she hadn't had to worry about Michael, and then to learn she had just been yanked around and the whole thing didn't even count and she'd lost three days in there and everyone had seen her all dirty and covered with blood-- she was, in essence, incredibly cranky. ]

[Cranky was one thing, but Shiro was pretty much devastated. He still thought she was dead, murdered by a little bitch with girly-looking hair and a name like Kandi or something. He'd honestly come round to the house to talk to Cross, 'cause he was fairly sure that the bastard was something to do with him. And by talk, he meant absolutely beat the shit out of. Okay, he was a general or some shit, but he was still human, right?

He wasn't here because he was hoping by some small chance that it was all a mistake, and she was actually in her room listening to terrible pop music, or begging her dad for more allowance, or anything. And he certainly wasn't going to do any pussy shit like cry on her bed while sniffing her pillow. Absofuckinglutely not.

Honest.

It was for totally normal, manly reasons that he was now banging on the front door.]

[ She waited for half a minute to see if someone else would get it; as the banging continued she sighed and sat up, tossing Haro to the side (he righted himself and flew away, cursing as usual). Cross had warned them not to open the door to anyone, but did that even still hold now that Klaud apparently didn't want to kill him? ]

[ shouts ] If you're trying to find Cross, I've got a knife, you know!

[Great, and now he was hallucinating. Although, for a hallucination, that had sounded a lot like her, and, well, it sounded pretty real. He was going to seem amazingly stupid and/or disturbed if he started calling for her and it wasn't her, but fuck it.]

...Nena? That you?

--Yeah, hold on! [ She hadn't been expecting Shiro to come by, but she was also the sort of person who took things people did for her as a matter of course, so it seemed perfectly natural to her for him to surprise her with a visit. She got up and unlocked the door, opening it with a grin ]

You didn't tell me you were coming over!

[There were two possible scenarios here. One, Nena wasn't actually dead, or two, Shiro had completely freakin' snapped. He knew which one he preferred, but nevertheless, found it difficult to do anything except stare in disbelief with a look of shock and mild horror on his face. And when he finally found the ability to say something, it was... well.]

You didn't tell me you weren't dead! [he said, in exactly the same tone.]

[ She looked mildly confused for a moment ]

Didn't you see my post? I just woke up back in bed this morning!

[ --and then hears his tone and scowls, crossing her arms ] You'd better not be as horrified as you sound! What were you trying to do, come and take my stuff?

Jesus, Nena, I just...

[The floor seemed to be a really awesome place to be right then, even if it was in the middle of the doorway. So down he went, knees up to his chin, hands over his face. He'd seen a lot of fucking weird shit in his life - hell, he was pretty fucking weird himself - but the last few days had kind of taken the cake.

But he still wasn't crying, because that would be really lame. Definitely not crying.]

[ ...okay no, so he wasn't as horrified as he sounded. She had been half-joking anyway, but this brought her up short, and she knelt down in front of him ]

Hey... you can come in, you know. ...Did it really freak you out that bad?

[His face was still hidden by his hands, but it was easy to see how he was feeling by the way his tail flopped around miserably, half-way between an irritated thrashing and a depressed slump.]

I thought you were dead.

Hey, it'd take more than some god who feels like messing with people to get me!

[ ...but in case the bravado didn't work, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, resting her chin on his shoulder; Nena was at home with boasting, complaining, and physicality, but not quite so much with comforting, especially since she usually didn't have much cause to. ]

[Being held in her arms somehow made it worse and better all at the same time. Worse, because thinking about how he might never have got to see her, never mind hug her again without even a chance to say goodbye made him feel sick. Better, because here she was, alive and completely fine. He pulled her close and nuzzled at her neck, a hand reaching up to stroke her hair.]

[ She rested there, hugging him firmly, while she thought. She'd always thought guys who got all weepy over things were total girls-- sure, Michael or Cross got worried about her, but they usually showed that by threatening people-- but... he'd been banging on the door like he was going to break it down, and this was the first time she'd ever seen him like this. And really, if he'd been that torn up, that just meant she was important to him, right? Right! Of course he should lose it, thinking she died!

(Those other guys who cried about their girlfriends were still total wusses. This was a special case.) ]

See? I'm totally real. [ She pulled away and stood up, pulling him up with her by his hands ] But come inside, you're letting all the cold air out and it's like ninety today.

[He let Nena pull him up, and he only started scrubbing at his eyes because she'd got her hair in them and they were itching, probably.]

Yeah, don't want to let the air out. 's hot today, ain't it?

[He allowed himself to be dragged inside, and kicked the door shut behind him.]

It's usually hot here. I like it. [ she said absently, pulling his head down to peer at his face ] You were crying, weren't you.

I was not! Y'hair's all curly 'n shit, it went in my eye. That's all.

[Seeing as she had already pulled his face near to hers, he ducked closer and kissed her.]

[ She kissed him back, pulling herself closer to lean against him, pulling away for only a moment to mumble ] You liar.

Oh, so y'calling me a wuss and a liar? I missed you too, Freckles.

[At least he felt able to joke now, and he even chuckled a little. He was probably hugging her a little too hard, though, like he was scared she'd slip out of his grasp. He kissed her mouth again briefly, and then kissed her nose, her forehead, her cheek - hell, he'd kiss every little freckle if he could. He was just so goddamn glad she was okay.]

[ She grinned and dropped one hand to his waist, tangling the other in his hair ]

I need a real man, you know! Real men don't lie! [ But she was obviously teasing, happy to be getting his complete attention ]

Real men don't cry, either, so y'gonna have to pick one or the other. [He picked her up (and because of his weird gravity-bending abilities, she didn't weigh a thing to him), and held her close, leaning into the hand in his hair.]

[ She giggled, kissing him again before resting her head in the crook of his neck ] Crying's fine if it's over something important. Just not over like stubbing your toe or getting lost or something, that's lame.

[Drifting backwards towards the couch, he leaned his head on top of hers, and smiled.] Well, I'd say you were pretty important.

Good! I should be important if I'm going to be dating someone, you know! [ And because in her mind, it's one of the most important questions... ] You would have killed him if I really was dead, wouldn't you.

I... [he snorts quietly] Yeah, I think I would've. Or died trying.

Good! [ She hooked a foot on the couch as they drifted closer, pushing them both down onto it; she liked attention, but got a bit antsy when someone else was in control for too long. ] I just don't get people who don't want revenge, you know? It's like they don't care at all!

[He didn't mind her taking the lead, and happily relaxed into the couch.] I know, right? If somebody does something to someone I l-- care about [he stumbled over his words, but with a flawless recovery] then yeah, I'm going to be pissed.

[ She grinned, settling herself comfortably on top of him ] And you care about me a lot, right?

Damn right I do.

[ Someone who will kill for her and feed her ego? That's a pretty sweet deal. ] You're the best boyfriend ever!

[hrrrnnng so moe I died] G-good thing I've got the best girlfriend ever then, huh?

[ You are powerless in front of the cute. And here, have more kisses ] Exactly!
