... 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?

Naw, I can explain it a little if anyone say anything.

It's not like that, so I've got nothing to worry about, right?

Exactly.

So what if Axel gets really pissed off and is like "you have to break up with her right now!"

[she doesn't really think he WILL, but the idea still niggles at her mind anyway]

[Hanna's just going to raise his eyebrow at her.]

Does that sound like Axel to you? Here, i've learned this exercise that's helped me stop thinking a lot of horrible things.

See, you take that "what if" phrase, and imagine the person's voice saying it. If it sounds ridiculous or you can't even imagine it? Well, its probably bullshit.

I'll try that with stuff I'm really, really worried about, okay? Right now I'm just... maybe five percent worried.

[she puts a hand on either side of his face, then leans down and gives him a big kiss on the forehead]

And ninety-five percent happy.

Well I'm happy for you too. And for me. [He goes cross eyed to look at her when she kisses him and grins.]

I was worried you were going to slobber on me.

Gross! I do not give slobbery kisses.

[she nestled down against him, angling her head so that she could rest against his shoulder even as he did the same with her]
