Crush (Ember/Freakshow RP)

Sep 12, 2006 19:18

Ember looked around her place with a certain amount of displeasure. She had forgotten how much of a mess she'd left the place in. Part of her was tempted to call up Des and wish for a quick clean up of the place, but she felt wrong doing that. Instead she just did the best she could, though she purposely avoided trying to do anything with the ( Read more... )

Freakshow quickly headed over to Ember's after figuring out directions from Clockwork. He wasn't sure if he enjoyed getting this secret out to Ember or not. He felt dread at the thought of telling her, but also felt a little bit of relief.
Oh well, I'll find out if this is good or not soon.

The knock on her door startled her. She jumped to her feet, then calmed herself down. "Right, Freakshow," she said aloud to no one in particular. She just wasn't used to being alone yet.

She opened the door and ushered Freakshow in. "Hey, come on in and sit down."

goth_ringmaster September 12 2006, 23:33:52 UTC

Freakshow flashed her an uneasy smile before walking in. "Hello, Ember." he said, going over to the nearby couch and sitting down. "How are you today?"

She shook her head. "A little unnerved. This is the first time I've been back to my place since...well, you know," she glanced nervously at the black rug she'd thrown over THAT spot on the floor. "But otherwise, I'm good. And you?"

He sighed, his mind flashing to Johnny for a brief second.
"I've been okay."

whoulove September 12 2006, 23:41:23 UTC

"Just okay?" she asked, sitting down on the couch next to him. "I figured you'd be doing great. I mean, finally getting to be a ghost and all."

goth_ringmaster September 12 2006, 23:45:04 UTC

"Yeah, I'm really glad about that. I should stop thinking pessimistically." He then attempted a fake smile. "Okay, I'm doing great."

whoulove September 12 2006, 23:48:05 UTC

She raised an eyebrow. "Well, that's good," she said. "Adjusting to being a ghost can be rough sometimes. I'm glad to see you're doing so well."

The she smirked. "So...about this crush you had on me?"

goth_ringmaster September 12 2006, 23:54:56 UTC

He felt a slight blush rise to his cheeks and he practically groaned.
"Yeah..about that..." He coughed and straightened up. "When I was living and still was traveling the country with my circus, I stumbled upon your music. I could tell there were ghostly qualities about it, but nevertheless, I ignored them and let myself love the music. Lydia would help filter the ghost subliminal messaging out and let me just enjoy the songs, but sometimes I kinda lost it." He looked over to the side to avoid her gaze, going silent for a second, trying to prepare the rest of his story.

Ember blinked. "You could tell there were spectral noises in my music?" Her brow creased. "I didn't think there were any humans that could recognize that."

"Huh," she nodded her head after a second. "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt. Keep going."

goth_ringmaster September 13 2006, 00:03:59 UTC

"Yeah, you have to remember I came from a family that has studied ghosts for generations. Not to mention, I had other ghosts constantly traveling with me who could tell me about the noises." He then went back to his story. "Anyway, so, those obsessive crushes people often get on idols, you know? Well, I had one of those on you. Needless to say, I definately made sure I found a TV to watch your concert on."
"It eventually faded away like most obsessions, but then I found your livejournal. It took a long time to gain up enough courage to comment on it, but it felt nice. And the thought that I knew people who knew you (aka Dan)just made me suddenly gain a little bit of the obsession back. And it felt nice. But I was still too shy to talk to anyone about it, not to mention, I was gaining feelings for Dan."

whoulove September 13 2006, 00:08:22 UTC

This time Ember flat out laughed. "You shouldn't have been so nervous. I'm much nicer than I appear to be most of the time." Then, she fixed Freakshow with a serious look. "Don't tell anyone that. I have a reputation to keep up."

goth_ringmaster September 13 2006, 00:11:02 UTC

Freakshow then let himself relax enough to laugh at that.
"Although, then the crush turned to more of a friendship once I got to actually talking to you and in my relationship with Dan. But I still feel a bit of protectiveness over you, even if that's probably not what you want to hear."

whoulove September 13 2006, 00:13:33 UTC

Ember shook her head. "You're right, it's not. I don't need protected. I've done my time being weak. That ended about thirteen years ago." She winced. "I'm more worried about protecting you."

goth_ringmaster September 13 2006, 00:15:02 UTC

He raised an eyebrow. "What happened thirteen years ago..And why would you feel a need to protect me?"

whoulove September 13 2006, 00:19:40 UTC

She hugged herself. "Thirteen years ago...I...that was...that was when I really became Ember. I had to. That was when Johnny..." she closed her eyes. "When he did what I let him do to me.

"As for protecting you, well, when you died I...before you died, I was the one distracting Faux. And if I had been able to hold him just a few minutes longer you wouldn't have died. And now you're all gung ho about going after Johnny. Which isn't safe. He's all kinds of trouble." She hugged herself tighter. "Even when I was powering myself up I never went after him."
