Someone's eyes are opening.]

[): he's just very slightly disappointed okay]

[she only does it because she caaaaares--]

[She's going to frown at her ice cream, then. Hello, chocolate misery.]

[Wasn't it already established before that pushing him away was bad for him?

Sighs and pushes away his ice cream, which is half finished.]

[That was before she realized how little time he really had.]

[...Yeah, she totally believes it was just hunger now, Ven.]

... did I do something wrong?

Did I do something wrong?

[In case she didn't hear it.]

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[That might have been the hint of a sigh there before that genuine,]

No, of course not.

[Looks down at his melting ice cream. So why...]

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She can guess at what he's wondering, but it's not a question she's sure she wants to answer. Instead,]

None of it's your fault.

[....]

[It seems so... inadequate, so,]

It's just-- over these two months....

[Looks up at that. Do you see this pout.]

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[That pout makes her frown back, but she can only keep her eyes on his for so long before they drift back to the table.]

....

--....

I... realized some things.

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Like...

[She tries to look him in the eye again, really she does, but she just can't look at him and say it. Even staring at her ice cream again, she still can't say it, so--]

...It's been a year since we first met.

[At least it's true that she realized that, even if it's not what's got her all in knots.]

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[She's trying so hard to smile. She succeeds, at least marginally, and accompanies it with a tiny nod.]

Mmhm.

[identity profile] photoncharge.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not smiling. He is far from smiling.]

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Her smile begins to fade once she notices.]

...What's wrong?

[identity profile] photoncharge.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
... it's been... a year for you already?

[identity profile] lethechained.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
....

[She hesitates before nodding. Has it... not been that long for him?]

[identity profile] photoncharge.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[His memories are fixed, but all it did was muddle up his timeline. He's stuck in that constant state that he can't go home; going back to his world would mean eternal sleep.]

... oh.

... is that why you're so... distant all of a sudden?
