I bet you will. And you know what? You and me will, too. We already are.

[of course, she and Hanna weren't really fighting-- but having difficulties still counted, right?]

[He smiles, just a little.] Yeah...Yeah we are.

[and with that she leans forward and pulls him to her again, squeezing hard, not wanting to let go]

And I think we can do it. Be more than friends or family, I mean. We can help each other out and figure out stuff as we go along, and we'll probably make mistakes and have silly miscommunications, but that's kind of expected! I think it would be impossible to avoid.

Well, you do stupid things when you're in love right? [He holds her tight and nods against her shoulder.]

I guess that can be our motto, huh?

[she laughs, and presses her face into his hair]

That can totally be our motto.

Good. I think it fits real well.

... I really, really, really missed you, you know. I thought about you all the time. Being gone didn't feel right.

I really missed you too Vriska...

[He sighs and presses his face closer into her shoulder.] You shouldn't stay away from home that long again...It was quieter without you. I felt like I didn't have anyone to talk to.

Me, too. Or no one I wanted to talk to as much as I wanted to talk to you, anyway.

[she tightens her grip on him]

I mean... I'm glad I did it. I don't think I would have been able to say the stuff I said today if I hadn't given myself time to get away and think everything through. But I'm even more glad I came back, and I don't want to do it ever again.

Yeah, There were times like that. But never again, huh?

[He hugs her back just as tightly.] Love you.

I'll always love you.

[and then she tries to tip him backwards on the bed because she's tired of sitting up]

[He'll be laying back now, since its obviously what she wants and sighs, staring up at the ceiling and resting his cheek against her shoulder.]

So...You're going to be living here again then?

Yeah, of course. I'll move the rest of my stuff out of Katara's tomorrow, but it won't be that hard. I left most of it here. I was always planning on coming back.

[she plays with his hair, lightly twisting a strand around her finger]

You want to talk about Axel and Kanaya and everything, to make up for lost time?

If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be available.

[He thinks about her offer for a moment before nodding, shifting so that his arms are folded behind his head, eyes closed and ready for listening.] You start.

[she reaches down to hook her am through one of his]

I don't think she gives a fuck about me if we're not together.

[He sits up a little, raising an eyebrow.]

Why would you think that?

A long time ago when we were moirails, she had secret red romantic-- sexual romantic-- feelings for me, and she got mad that I kissed someone else, ignored me for a while, and then broke up with me without telling me that we were broken up. Then we got back together here for a little while, but when I told her there was someone else, she got mad and trashed me all over the PCDs. Then she stopped being mad, and started making advances to me all the time! I told her I'd think about getting back together, but when I made up my mind and told her my answer was no, she got pissed off again.

It's kind of obvious.

Oh...But isn't she dating someone right now? Or did they break up...I'm not even sure what happened there. [He just saw it on the network, is all.]

But...maybe she's just mad because she loves you so much? I know rejection is really hard to take...some people just deal with it differently you know?

Different kind of dating. We have four of them, remember?

... I know she loves me. And I know it feels like shit; I felt awful when I was having that trouble with you. But I didn't get mad at you about it.

Oh...[He forgot about that sometimes. That and he wasn't so sure about the whole, which is which thing. He might have to look back at his chart, if he could even find it.]

Well, some people can't handle rejection at all. It can turn people into real assholes.

Mm.

[she buries her face in his hair, mumbling:]

-- Still gonna miss her.

Well...Maybe you can give it another chance?

You can't really say sorry, but you can tell her that you'd still like to be friends if she can get over all of everything else that makes her so angry..? I mean, its not like you don't like her on purpose. Obviously you'd like to be her friend, right?

The cards just didn't play out that way.

I'll try it. Later.

[she falls silent for a moment, playing with his hair some more]

... Hanna?

You can take as long as you need. You can't do something if you're not prepared for it right? [He smiles at the feel of her fingers in his hair, eyes closed and comfortable. Feeling a little better already.]

Yeah?

Thanks for saying yes. To trying this, I mean. If anyone makes fun of you or tries to say you're a pervert, tell me so I can yell at them, okay?
