[It seems someone has decided to change his voicemail following graduation. Hes trying so hard to sound professional, business like, but Hanna's usual enthusiasm bleeds through easily.]

You have reached the mailbox of Hanna Cross. If you don't have an appointment, my secretary will follow up with a return message shortly. [a short pause.] meaning me. I'll get back to you, don't worry.

And if this is an emergency what are you doing on the phone? Cardio is your friend. byyyye!

Yeah. Can I...

[He trails off and waves at Hanna's bathroom, then gets up.]

Go right ahead.

[He's going to get a glass of water for him in the mean time.]

[He washes his face, staring at himself in the mirror as he does. The spate of tears sobered him up a little and he's not quite sure how he feels. Relief, yes, that Hanna hadn't pushed him away. But also a strange emptiness. He'd told the two most important people in his life. He'd faced his fears. Now what?

After a moment, he shrugs, walks back into Hanna's room, and takes the glass of water.]

Thanks.

[Hanna's sitting criss-cross on his bed, waiting patiently for the other man to come out of the bathroom and nodding to him when he does.]

How you feeling? Honestly, when I talk about my own bullshit I feel like ass, but that might not be universal.

[He thinks about it for a moment.]

Ass is a good descriptor, I think. I was... I'd convinced myself that no one would want to be near me after I told them about what I'd done. I hadn't really thought about any other options.

As someone who was 'too much' and got left behind because of shit I couldn't let go, I totally understand that. You get...like, stuck in that? Convinced it will happen every time, and then it just ends up being this self fulfilling prophesy.

But that's the nice thing about being here, I think. It's...different, and it isn't that I don't care about it, what you did, but I care about you, and I know you, and that's more important.

I'm glad it's different. Tendi didn't push me away either. It's... it's nice, having friends.

Re: CW: Desecration of a corpse, suicide

[falkeditupagain]

It is, isn't it?

[Hanna's smile is easy, kicking his legs casually.]

We don't have to do shit alone, and it's not a fucking burden, asking for help.

...still have to remind myself of that sometimes.

Re: CW: Desecration of a corpse, suicide

[weaponuser]

I'll have to be reminded of it, too.
