WAKING UP!

[twin-fans.livejournal.com]

Your character is in a nice, warm bed, wearing their bedclothes (or lack thereof) of choice. It's comfortable, it's fluffy, and it's great...

Unfortunately, someone's in bed with them. They might roll over and accidentally cop a feel before waking up fully, they might notice the heat on their backs, but whatever the case may be, there's someone in there with them. They could easily remember the night before, how that happened, but...

Where's the fun in that?

No! It's just... why?

_[Grr!]

I swear, if I thought it would knock some sense into you, I would hit you! _{And I don't want to hurt my hand.}

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[Edging over to sit on the edge of the bed now]

You're the one who doesn't make any sense. Why do you spend so much time acting like you can't stand me, and then do something like this?

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

[Because she's a tsundere, Brainy.]

Because.

[Intimacy issues miles wide. Seriously, man. This is like Death Star status.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[Do they come with manuals? :| ]

'Because' isn't an answer.

[Still, he's not making any attempts to leave again. Yet.]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, no manuals.]

Just because, OK? It's not like you'd understand anyway.

_{Why do I even try.}

Hey! I may not have that much experience with social interaction, true- [not that he likes admitting that part] -but I'm sure I can understand if you just try and explain it.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

[We tried that. Didn't work out.]

I don't want to!

[OK, now she's just sulking.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Fine then! Forget it! I have more important things to do than waste time here!

[Brainy throws his hands up in the air and stomps off towards the door.]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

I just don't want to depend on other people!

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[And stopping in the doorway to blink, then turn back and give Asuka a 'wut' look.]

What? What does that have to do with anything?

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

[And now she's on her feet waving her hands, gesturing.]

Everything!

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

So you... act like you don't like me but want me to stay because you don't like to depend on people?

[Yeah, he's clearly fail at psychology.]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

[She holds her face in her hands for a moment.]

How much clearer can I possibly get? I don't want to admit that I like you because then that means I have to depend on you for something and I hate doing that!

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

.....oh.

[Now he gets it.]

But Asuka, you can't go through life without depending on people, it's simply not possible.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

I can.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[He's still annoyed, but trying to explain since she did the same for him.]

Sooner or later you're going to have to work with a team while on Stacy. You're going to have to depend on them to help you at times. You already depend on other people on the ship to help run and maintain things. And I'm sure you depended on others in your own world, even if you thought you weren't.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

[She's stubborn. :|]

...I'm different! I don't have to! I don't need help. I don't.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Do you honestly believe that?

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

...yes.

[Probably. At least superficially.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

The problem with not needing anyone, Asuka, is that then you don't have a reason to ask them to stay. Logically, if you've already decided you don't need me, why would I need you?

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

But... that's...

That's not fair!

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

I believe there's an old Earth saying that applies here: "Life isn't fair".

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

...it should be for me. For once.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Why, exactly? I doubt you've been through anything that at least someone in the crew can't compare to. And we've all had our fair share of problems since arriving.
