[08:10] TA: nah iit2 cool. ju2t my exercii2e AND 2ociial iinteractiion quota beiing fiilled for the month.
[08:16] TT: The month? I suppose I should feel even more flattered you wasted such precious time on me.
[08:17] TA: iit ii2 pretty fuckiing preciiou2. ii can thiink of at lea2t two people who would be deadly jealou2 of you iif they knew.
[08:18] TA: but dont worry, we'll keep that between u2.
[08:22] TT: Oh, good. I would hate to be the object of anyone's jealousy. *hums a weak laugh, then finally manages to pull herself to her feet; she's still intoxicated and a bit dizzy, but not as much as before*
[08:28] TA: heh. *takes a step forward, then hesitates, but decides yeah okay i'll help and goes to support her. avoiding floor barf of course. still gross.*
[08:28] TA: ii don't know, people are probably jealou2 of you already for 2omethiing.
[08:28] TA: you are pretty damn 2mart when you arent all 2opored up.
[08:29] TT: *eheheheh we'll deal with that later... or someone else will... yeeaahhh* *and she blushes at that* I... Thanks. *she can't bring herself to say she agrees, because she isn't quite sure about that, about how much she has contributed at all*
[08:36] TA: *can totally tell she doubts it, and shrugs his free shoulder* iim ju2t 2ayiing. beliieve what you want. *leads back out to other room whatever that is*
[08:37] TA: do you need anythiing el2e or what.
[08:40] TT: *whatever that thing is yes* *it is such a thing* I... suppose not. *she doesn't really want to be alone, but doesn't want to impose, either, since she's probably done more than enough already*
[08:41] TA: *i'm gonna say there's a couch there sure* k. *escorts her to said couch, helps her sit, looks around a little, then leaves the room*
[08:41] TA: *he's gonna come back but she doesn't know that rn*
[08:41] TA: *don't be sad rose*
[08:45] TT: *settles into the couch with a sigh, not too surprised to see him go, but she's grateful for what he's already done, so she has no room to complain. In the silence, she can feel her eyelids growing a little heavier, an effect of the stress of sickness perhaps, and she slides a little toward one arm of the couch, leaning into it as she shuts her eyes*
[08:49] TA: *returns with more water, one glass for each of them, and some string cheese. psionics make carrying multiple things so much easier. he sees she's settling in to rest and shrugs, sitting quietly on the cushion next to her. one of the glasses and the string cheese gets set carefully on the coffee table that's totally there, and he sips his water.*
[08:56] TT: *at sensing a presence again, she is drawn out of her near-sleep daze, cracking her eyes open to see that he has returned and unable to keep herself from smiling, sitting up to lean more in his favor before she notices the items in front of her and reaches a bit sluggishly to retrieve them*
[08:58] TA: *looks at her in the corner of his eyes and silently floats the things over to her so she doesn't have to move so much, but otherwise just sits back and slouches against the back of the couch. there isn't a time he isn't slouching when he sits. it's just a thing. ask any sollux ever. he slouches.*
[09:00] TT: *her smile widens* Thanks... again. *sits back to nurse the water, sighing briefly and peering over at his trademark slouch that she totally doesnt have the self esteem to criticize right now but that cant be good for your spine* That's pretty handy.
[09:01] TA: mhm. *kicks his feet up to rest on the table* ii thiink you may mii2under2tand the concept. the poiint ii2 that there are no hand2 iinvolved. *smirkity smirk*
[09:03] TT: Oh, my mistake! How could I disregard such obvious context clues? *chuckles and fashions a little seat for the glass between her legs after a brief struggle with her skirt, fingering at the wrapper of the cheese until she pulls it open*
[09:04] TA: yeah 2eriiou2ly, are you tryiing two dii2prove my 2uper 2mart comment from earliier? that2 rude a2 fuck. *psionics over a thing of string cheese for himself, opens, and just takes a chomp bit out of it*
[09:07] TT: I guess I just can't help myself. *she certainly doesn't WANT to disprove it, at least* ... Is that how you always treat your string cheese? *proceeds to daintily peel hers*
[09:10] TA: iim treatiing iit the way iit a2ked me two. *holds it up to his ear* what2 that? you want me two keep doiing what ii do? 2ound2 good two me. *another bite*
[09:13] TT: *genuinely laughs at that* Why, Sollux, I had no idea you spoke dairy.
[09:14] TA: fuck, there are a lot of thiing2 you don't know. for iinstance, ii am not ju2t biiliingual. *looks at her all serious* ii am quadriiliingual.
[09:17] TT: That's a lot of linguals. What else do you speak, then? *lowering cheese into her mouth*
[09:19] TA: ii al2o 2peak biinary, iif that wa2nt obviiou2 a2 all hell. 01100100 01110101 01101000.
[09:19] TA: *saves you the trouble of translating, it says "duh"
[09:23] TT: Impressive. Just out of curiosity, how would one say "kiss" in binary? *talk nerdy 2 me sollux*
[09:25] TA: .... *that's a nice set up you got there, let me just stick with the translating because please it's sollux* 01110011 01101111 01101111 01101110. *surprise though instead of saying kiss it says soon*
[09:30] TT: *thats kind of ominous what is soon* *but it's not like Rose can tell the difference, and she just leans over to peck his cheek*
[09:40] TA: ((sorry there's things happening around me))
[09:40] TT: ((thats ok ;w; just makin sure it didnt cut ou))
[09:41] TA: ((sall good <333))
[09:43] TA: *gets a faint mustard blush, but just eats his cheese and keeps his face neutral, staring at the empty wall**chewchew in silence what do i do* 2o that2 a thiing. *so smooth*
[09:46] TT: I'm sorry? *coy cheese peeling*
[09:50] TA: hm. *pops last bit of cheese in mouth* ... hey what2 that over there *doesn't wait for her to look, just awkwardly leans over to peck her cheek back*
[09:50] TA: *it's a little weird with those teeth though gdi**note to self don't do that again*
[09:56] TT: *doesn't even look, just sits there like wow* *smiiiiiles u dork* Very suave.
[09:58] TA: ii dont know what youre even talkiing about. *drinks water* but yeah iim the mo2t 2uave guy youll ever meet. cant beat thii2 gangly 2hiit. *pops the collar of his t shirt when he says that. god how stupid just stop*
[10:02] TT: *oh my god Sollux what even are you* *giggles at that because she's definitely not done being giggly yet* So that wasn't you being suave and putting moves on me? I must be confused.
[10:05] TA: no that wa2 me beiing an iidiiot who'2 bad at 2ociial cue2. *sighs, psionics both of their water glasses back to the table* thii2 ii2 me beiing 2uave and puttiing the move2 on you. *i need to stop talking**sticking with the no hands theme and uses psionics to turn her head toward him so he can actually kiss her. it's a little quick though, and then he lets her and sits back and gets his water agai
[10:12] TT: *oh hello* *she doesn't even have the time to blushu before he's pulled away again, and that was kind of a weird kiss, not just because he has like 29832982 teeth but also because she just threw up and they are about as unappealing as possible right now, what is romantic timing?* ... *laughs* I can believe that. It might be a little better after I've brushed my teeth, though.
[10:18] TA: *shrugs, he hadn't really thought about that, he just kind of wanted to kiss her* nah iim not really 2uave. 2urprii2e, that wa2 actiing. and that2 probably the be2t youre gonna get from me. *in reference to the kiss. he stands, looking away from her, and scratches the back of his head* 2o ii gue22... yeah. wa2 there anythiing el2e you wanted two talk about?
[10:24] TT: *wait a minute -- she isn't sure how to interpret that very well, that he was acting, but the way he stands then makes her wonder if that's exactly what he meant, and she peers up at him, a little crestfallen* *damn communication*
[10:27] TA: *yeah communication is another thing i'm not great at, sorry RL. him and feelings aren't a thing that go very well together, and he just doesn't know what to do with them. so his arms just dangle at his sides and he can't really look at her because he doesn't want her to see that embarrassing little blush he's still got going, and keeps waiting for her answer. i'll wait all day, i will.*
[10:41] TT: *watches him, quieted, trying to find words to ask what she wants to without letting it be known how she feels, but she simply opts for repeating his words, figuring he can clarify* That was acting?
[10:43] TA: ... *maybe she took it the wrong way goddamn come on sollux be clearer don't be a prick* yeah, that wa2 me pretendiing two be 2uave. you 2ee how well that worked out. 2uavene22 level ii2 zero. negatiive two, even. ii may ju2t be the lea2t 2uave thiing two ever exii2t and ii need two 2top talkiing now.
[10:47] TT: *pauses for a moment, relieved, and grins at him* I think you're pretty charming like this, actually.
[10:53] TA: *looks at her with a "are you fucking serious" face* you have 2ome fucked up defiiniitiion of the word charmiing, don't you? dont even 2ay anythiing, ii know the an2wer ii2 holy 2hiit ye2.
[10:57] TT: *laughs, rising to her feet just so she can argue with him on a level plane* No! You babble when you're flustered, and it's charming. *reaches over to straighten his shirt a little, chewing on her lip*
[11:04] TA: *temporarily distracted by the shirt straightening and lip chewing, plus still going are you fucking kidding me basically* liike ii 2aiid, fucked up defiiniitiion. 2o much for you beiing the 2mart one, ii 2wear two god all your knowledge ha2 been proven fal2e. ju2t by thii2 liittle revelatiion. good job, you really got me goiing there. better actor than ii am, for 2ure. *shit i'm babbling again*
[11:14] TT: I suppose I will just have to disagree with you on this one. *leaves her hands resting on his shoulders, contemplating that; how could she possibly be wrong when he had already done more than enough to help her? No, liking him seemed smart enough* You can go ahead if you like.
[11:19] TA: *her hands are on his shoulders, that he is accutely aware of, along with the warmth of it and the extra warmth on his face* go ahead and what... *you gotta spell this out for me i'm quadrilingual but i don't speak cute and crafty*
[11:23] TT: *blinks once, still not moving her hands* And leave? *smiles* Or not.
[11:25] TA: *can't tell if you're being serious or not**turns his head to look around a little, as if either debating leaving or checking to see if anybody else was around. either way he looks pretty unsure of what he's doing.* alriight. 2ure. yeah. *uh. yeah okay fuck iit goes in for a better kiss*
[11:30] TT: *takes advantage of the moment to slip her arms around his neck, resisting a smile at the feeling of his fangs* *not sure if you're about to leave or not but i'm definitely keeping you here for a few more moments*
[11:33] TA: *lifts his hands from their hanging position to hover over her back, unsure of where to put them, but eventually settles on her hips. he resigns himself to his fate, though not really regretting it in the least, and closes his eyes and tilts his head slightly to sort of deepen the kiss or something*
[11:48] TT: *she doesn't quite want to pull away, but she's fairly certain that if she lets this kiss get any more out of hand, it might be a little grosser than either of them wants (yeah, she's not done being self conscious just yet), and she pulls away after another moment, breathing a short laugh and leaning her forehead against the edge of his jaw to indicate she didn't yet want to let go*
[11:58] TA: *it's alright he wasn't really into letting it get more gross anyway. he sure as hell wasn't going to stick his tongue in her mouth until she'd sanitized it. also not until they were both comfortable with it, but that's a more long term thing. at her laugh, he allows himself a slight smile. as with all things, he hadn't been expecting a pleasant outcome, and this was a very pleasant surprise for h
[11:58] TA: im. his hands stay on her hips for a little while. then he moves so he can kiss the top of her head, and manually unwraps her arms.* 2hould probably defiiniitely clean up the ablutiion block before iit driie2 up iin there. eheh.
[11:58] TA: ((jesus i didn't mean to make it so long))
[12:07] TT: *casually damns at the length* *of the reply that is* *wonk* *i mean*
[12:10] TT: *she appreciated that extra kiss in a way she couldn't quite express now, but she supposed that was enough for now, too, at least while she should probably get some rest and-- oh* Right. I'll, uh, grab some paper towels.
[12:15] TA: ii can take care of iit. *back to a more neutral face, though with a hint of concern* you 2hould go liie down or 2omethiing. *sollux "can't take care of himself but demands others take care of THEMselves" captor*
[12:17] TT: *haha u lil shit* You don't have to, it's my fault... *stop being so goddamn sweet right this instant*
[12:19] TA: *that goes against my programming* nah, ii got thii2. you ju2t go and get le22 dii2gu2tiing. *totally aware of how that could sound rude, and gives a little smirk*
[12:22] TT: Oh! I wish you the best in accomplishing the same. *you wanna snark buddy? two can play this game* *smiles right back, stepping away on that note*
[12:24] TA: *you shit* thank2, ii need all the luck ii can get. *stupid cute snarky rose, he starts toward the bathroom again. and just to be a jerky jerk, uses psionics to PINCH her butt as she walks away, and snickers like an idiot*
[12:28] TT: *tiny meep* *aw das it* Unfortunately, I see no luck for that in your future! *ha ha hero title buurrrn* *gonna pick up my skirt and haughtily walk away from the precious jerk*
[12:29] TA: aww, you cant go gettiing my hope2 up liike that! *he calls behind him and smiles to himself as he goes to clean up the nasty mess*
