unbr8kable | imeeji stuff

[tenses a little, but doesn't attempt to move. the bags under her eyes are certainly no less heavy, especially close enough that the glare from her glasses can't give much cover]

...Nothing worth wasting time over. Why?

I always wanna waste time on you.

[ lifts her hand to her hair, gently stroking her fingers through. ]

I got that feel-good power now. The Pep one. If you wanna try it.

The one where you just don't worry about stuff?

[hesitates, obviously considering the options]

...Have you tried it?

Not yet. You wanna?

Well...okay. If you're offering.

I mean...it's not like it's a bad thing or nothing.

Sure.

[ nuzzles against her forehead, where warmth abruptly spreads-- all the fear, anxiety, anger, it all washes away, smoothed over by a sense of calm and peace. the bad feelings are still there but they just... don't matter, right now. everything's pretty great. ]

Oh--

[it's kind of a full-body sigh as every muscle relaxes at once. she sags forward, draping over Requiem like an awkwardly shaped blanket; gives another long sigh, breath washing warm over her skin]

Mm...this feels like it should be illegal...

[ pauses a moment, just to bask in the feeling of her girlfriend melting bonelessly against her, before casting it on herself as well-- and gives a deeply pleased hum, leaning her head back and closing her eyes. ]

It's pretty good.

You're pretty good.

[relishes the feeling of contact for a little while longer--the idea that of all the things to do and places to be, she gets to be here with Requiem, and maybe even Requiem feels the same way about her, too.]

[Eventually she slithers a hand to Req's hip, balances there enough so she can lean up and kiss at her nose]

You're the best.

[ scrunches her nose at the kiss, smiling back at her with a soft expression-- and well, she can find out in just a moment as req's hand threads through her hair, because; ]

... love you.

That's what you keep saying.

[her tone is pleasant, somewhere between baffled and flattered]

Kinda thought you'd've come to your senses by now, to be honest.

Been crazy my whole life. Not about to stop now.

[ settles back again, closing her eyes. ]

Keep saying it cuz it's true, obvs.

Not really obvious to anyone, but if you say so...

[settles in as well, curling in beside her]

[ quiet for a moment, thinking on those words-- normally she'd feel a little self conscious if that. And she does, but it doesn't quite reach her the same way... she mulls it over a moment before speaking again, stroking her arm. ]

There anything I can do to make it more obvious...?

...? How do you mean?

--I mean, if it's doing stuff, you already do plenty for me. I'm coddled enough as it is.

I dunno, just... whatever you need. To make sure you know I love you-- make sure you feel loved.

[and she feels like she should hunch up her shoulders at this, but it also seems like a hassle when she's so comfortable already, so she doesn't]

That's so vague. I don't even know what that's supposed to feel like.

[ hums, unsure herself. ]

... it's not like there's a straight answer for that kind of thing... I don't know. Do you believe me, when I say it?

[ a pause. Then, softly: ]

I can stop talking about it. If you want.

[Considers this for a while]

...I don't think you'd say it if you didn't mean it. Even if I don't know why you would.

I mean... love being around you, and with you, and talking to you, and touching you, and... does it need a reason, more than that?

Doesn't it? I mean, you can have a good time with somebody you don't particularly care about. So--just seems like there's gotta be more to it than just...enough not being an enemy.

Y'don't enjoy being around someone you don't care about the same way as someone you do, though, even if you're having a good time. ... I dunno how to-- explain it to you. That the feeling is more than just... "fun" or "happy". It's that, but more.

[ stares up at the ceiling for a moment, thoughtful. ]

... if I got one of the Hearts to connect us-- that emotion thingy? I've done it a couple times... it's not so bad, I don't think. Do you think that might help? Cuz then I don't have to use words.

I mean... Maybe? I dunno...

[purses her lips]

...Guess it couldn't be worse than last time. I mean--shouldn't have to worry, if it's with you.

... last time?

Lucifel wanted to do it.
