642 Hastings Boulevard

[Early in the morning, about 4 in the morning of the 15th, Sollux quietly walks into his house, closing the door behind him slowly. He hopes that returning home at 4 in the morning means that no one is awake and he can sneek in without getting caught...]

Phone, later in the day

I'm sure some of you noticed that I've been gone for a couple of days but I'm back now. I had some business to take care of and you don't need to know about it so don't ask.

I can't tell you what I did but I can tell you what I didn't do and I didn't go talk to the Condesce.

[He feels absolutely terrible for lying but it's for the best]

...I...I want to believe that but my gut feeling says no.

I promise you that I didn't go anywhere near her. Please, don't go after her or anything.

[If you confront her about this, you'll all be in a lot of trouble]
15th-Dec-2011 02:43 pm (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (tears behind my smile)
All right. If you promise...

[Why is her stomach still twisted in knots, then?]
15th-Dec-2011 02:45 pm (UTC)
I do.

[Ugh he feels terrible]

...do you... want to come over or anything?

[time to do the moiraily thing]
15th-Dec-2011 02:47 pm (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (tears behind my smile)
Yeah. I do.

[There's a shaky, shaky breath from her.]

I'll be over in a bit.
15th-Dec-2011 02:49 pm (UTC)
Alright.

[He hangs up and waits by the door for her.]
15th-Dec-2011 02:54 pm (UTC) - --> action;
cullscuttlefish: (my only friend)
[She knocks once, lets herself in, then pulls him into a crushing hug.]

I swear, if you ever scare me like that again...
15th-Dec-2011 02:58 pm (UTC) - 1/2
[Unexpected huggings again!]
15th-Dec-2011 03:00 pm (UTC) - 2/2!
{He wraps his arms around her, holding her tight.]

I'm sorry, I promise I'll never do that again.

[He really does feel bad and he wishes he could tell her why he was gone but he couldn't chance it.]
15th-Dec-2011 03:14 pm (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (float with me)
You better not. I - just don't scare me like that. Especially not with her here. If - if you were dead because of her I don't even know what I'd do.

[She just buries her head in his shoulder. She wants to say something but she can't because she doesn't know what to say.]
15th-Dec-2011 03:16 pm (UTC)
[He closes his eyes and hugs her a little more.]

It'll be okay now, I promise.
15th-Dec-2011 03:43 pm (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (quiet now)
How can you promise something like that when I can't promise it to everyone? She's...I...

[Feferi trails off, and all she can do is hug him more.]

...you scared the shit out of me, you know.
16th-Dec-2011 02:47 am (UTC)
I know, I don't think I can feel any worse then I already do.
16th-Dec-2011 04:23 am (UTC) - ...wtf LJ?
cullscuttlefish: (I wanna be where the people are)
...I don't guess I can ask what made you feel so bad, besides scaring us.
16th-Dec-2011 04:35 am (UTC)
Worrying you and scaring you over nothing.

[Well, it's not really nothing]
16th-Dec-2011 04:46 am (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (blinkblink)
Are you sure it's not nothing?
16th-Dec-2011 04:50 am (UTC)
Yeah, I'm sure.

cullscuttlefish: (bright young women sick of swimmin')
[She's going to worry anyway.]

If you say so...
16th-Dec-2011 05:07 am (UTC)
How about we talk about something else?
16th-Dec-2011 05:12 am (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (Default)
Oh! That reminds me. I had something to give you.

[She fishes around in her bag for the yellow-wrapped present.] It's this human holiday like 12th Perigee's Eve soon, so...

[If he looks inside, he'll find she's made him a plush of his lusus. Only it's got a diamond stitched on its chest.]
16th-Dec-2011 05:14 am (UTC)
[It's too bad that he can't see what it looks like.

He unwraps it and takes the plush out of the wrapping/box.]


It feels like a stuffed toy of some sort.
16th-Dec-2011 05:15 am (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (cute little pisces)
It's supposed to look like your lusus. Only he's got a diamond on him. Because I could.
16th-Dec-2011 05:27 am (UTC)
[He smiles]

Heheh, thanks.

[He reaches out and pulls her close for a hug]
16th-Dec-2011 06:07 am (UTC)
cullscuttlefish: (life would feel enchanted)
[All the hugs.]

You're welcome.
