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?

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

[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.

[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.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

...none of your business.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Fine then. I've made my point. If you don't want to talk any further, I'll be leaving now.




[Now realise he's been doing this whole scene in Superman PJs. :|b ]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

...you could just stay. Without the talking.

[Well, Asuka's been in her underwear and a t-shirt. :|]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Even though you don't need me?


[Least serious clothing choices ever. XD]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

...shut up.

[I know, right? XD]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

No offence, Asuka, but I'm not that interested in spending time with someone if it doesn't mean anything to them.


[I'm sure it could have been worse...somehow. XD]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

It does!

_{[And here's where she goes quiet for a moment.]}

...are you happy now?

_{[OK, she sounds bit a shaken up. Not to mention bitter.]}

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...thank you. It means a lot to hear you say it.

[He comes back to sit on the bed.]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

Shut up.

[She's hugging the pillow now, glaring at the floor.]
