Days Go By

Okay, there was a freaking rabbit in my room, and Dante was trying to eat it. Eww!!! Rabbit is TOO big for you, snake! I was trying to get the rabbit out of my room, so I could let Des "discover" it, when I saw that freaky plant. Yeah, Dylan and Connor's pet plant. I have NO idea what it's doing in our friggin' apartment. It just kept

Hey, uh, long time no see.

You guys have any, um, tea bags?

*shifts nervously from foot to foot*

[_gia_]

Hey...

Tea bags? *looks at him* You drink tea? *shakes head* Oookay, yeah, we have some. *leaves the door open and walks toward the kitchen*

[gabe_w]

Tea. Yeah, you know.

*walks into the kitchen and props a foot on the seat of a chair*

It's good stuff.

So, how've you been lately?

[_gia_]

I like it.

*shrugs* I'm okay. You?

*quickly* And Des isn't here right now. *shuffles things around looking for tea* She went out to the store.

[gabe_w]

Actually, uh, you know, never mind the tea.

*blushes slightly*

I know Des isn't here- I was out on my balcony and I saw her leave. Kinda came over to talk to you.

[_gia_]

Oh.

*stops and puts a can of mushrooms back in a cupboard and looks at anything but his face*

Why?

[gabe_w]

I just don't want things to be weird between us. Like, uh, you thinkin the only reason I ever come over is just to hang with Des.

*removes his foot from the chair and sits down in it*

I mean, I know I'm a guy and thus kinda clueless. But I just wanted to make sure I didn't make you mad or somethin.

[_gia_]

Well...*looks to the side* Most of the time you do only come over to hang out with Des.

I'm not mad. It's just...you're a guy. I have guy issues. It's not anything you've done, I just have...issues.

*sighs with frustration* It's just I had a bad experience, and I'm not dealing right. *shrugs* I'm not mad at you, I'm just weird.

[gabe_w]

*looks startled, then concerned*

I don't ever wanna make you uncomfortable. So, I mean, you can just tell me if I'm hangin around here too much.

*looks down at the table*

I want to be your friend too. I'd lay someone out for messin with you, just like I would for Des.

[_gia_]

No! You're not hanging around too much; I guess it just weirds me that you're all with the Des liking, but you won't tell her. High testosterone or something...

It's good to know you'd kick someone's ass for me *smiles awkwardly*...I'm not saying I don't want to be your friend, because I do. I'm just...weird.

[gabe_w]

*blushes and coughs*

Um, yeah. That. It's hard to explain. Just, I don't wanna, like, pressure her. 'Cause I'm not sure if she likes me or, ya know, likes me.

Fuck.

*begins to laugh*

Hi, I'm Gabe and I'm twelve.

I can't explain it to myself. Why'd I think I could explain it to you?

*smiles warmly at Gia*

[_gia_]

*rolls her eyes* You could've asked me if she likes you. I live with her. *smiles* I think she does, too...but you didn't hear that from me. If you tell Des, I'm telling her it must've been Dylan and you got us confused.

*grins* Because I'm a girl and I know these things.

[gabe_w]

Yes, because you're so easy to mix up with Dylan. *smirks* Guess I should've been asking you for info a long time ago, huh?

*stands up*

So we're good then?

[_gia_]

Well...he's so girly... *smirks back* Yes, you should have. I am info girl. I know loads of info on...stuff. Lots of stuff.

*innocent smile* If you buy me newest copy of YM, yes.

[gabe_w]

That's all it takes? Hell, I'll buy you candy too. A milkshake? We can go now if you want.

*winks*

[_gia_]

*laughs* Yeah, I'm easy. Yay! Milkshakes! Yes, let's go now. *reaches for a jacket* And I'm glad we're done with the antsy-uncomfortable stuff. It's not much fun.
