“I just do not believe that I was lied to for so very long.”

“...Lied to? You alright?”

“Goodness, I just… I missed hanging out with you. It seems like we’ve both been so busy,” Charlie said. And it was true. Natalia’s optimism and supportive friendship meant so, so much to Charlie. “Have you found your brother? I know you were looking for him.”

“I don’t blame anyone, though. Regardless of the whole... invasion situation, we would’ve been busy anyway. The medical field is always busy.” At the mention of her brother, she shifted in place, letting out a tired sigh. Just the mention of Samson brought such a heavy feeling in her heart. “---I have,” she manages to get out. “He’s very... he’s sweet. We got along quick... you know, after basically interrogating him when I found out they met up behind my back--- and by they, I mean Sam and my mother. It’s all good, though, generally. ---Actually, I’ve been meaning to ask you about his condition... if you don’t mind.”

“So? Is weed going to hurt my heart?”

“...I’m just worried, okay? I don’t know the logistics of weed--- I know there are medical benefits, but to know whether or not it’d disturb your heart is beyond me.”

“No, not really. Sorry, am I disturbing you?”

“Oh, not at all. You just seem... kind of distraught. Are you alright?”

“Wait, seriously? What did he say to you? That guy’s crazy, you know.”

“You’re crazy if you think lying is your best scapegoat.”

“Honestly, I don’t even know. She needed help and I helped in and then she just kind of… moved in? It’s less weird than it sounds.”

“I guess she’s not as demonic as they’re supposed to be. What’s her name?”

samsonfisks:

“What about my heart?”

“Don’t give me that. We didn’t grow up together, but I know about... that kind of stuff.”

I never saw you, not this person you’ve become. I see her now.

“It’s just weed, calm down. I mean, I can get you something stronger if you want, I had some pills..”

“Sam... your heart.”

ericfisk:

“Uhhh, you could say that.”

“...Interesting predicament you’re in. How’d that happen?”

krzysztofandrzejewski:

“– From who?”

“Some guy? Named Spike?”

“Or you can just come over for dinner sometime? We haven’t hung out in so long, and I know Aamir would love to have you over at our- Yeah… I’m sort of… staying with him for now, too?” Charlie chuckled and pulled Natalia into a hug. “Thanks, Natalia. Honestly. It’s… it feels really good, you know? I haven’t been this happy in awhile and I kind of feel guilty about it sometimes. You know. With everything else going on.”

She squeals, as though it’s been the only good news thus far. “Oh my god--- I’m so happy for you,” she smiles wide. “I’d love to come over for dinner and you totally deserve it! We all need a little sunshine like that, you know? Don’t feel guilty-- or I’ll smack it out of you.”
