RP logs: Tron
A/N: This log is with legacyguardian's mun's Tron, who currently doesn't have a journal. Slightly meta, triggered by rewatching the original movie and the derezzing of Ram. Precedes this and this.
... every time I watch the Flynn-assembles-the-recognizer sequence? He's feeling guilty that he was all EEEE about that, instead of paying attention at how badly off Ram was
Flynn: *sad Flynn is sad and guilty*
Tron: *one hand light on his shoulder, quiet*
Flynn: *grateful, just...* I know what's important to me, and yet ... every time, I spend so much energy on things that can wait and not enough on... what matters.
Tron: *just... rubs his shoulder, rubs a hand over his back, listening. not going to argue that right now, but he's here. he's not going anywhere*
Flynn: *in a bit, reaches a hand back to Tron's shoulder, because... because*
Tron: *gently pulls him into his arms*
Flynn: *dammit, he shouldn't feel like a kid in need of comfort... but just for a little bit, he does, hugging back tightly*
Tron: *that's just fine, that's what he's there for, so he hugs him, holds him, still sort of rubbing his back and cuddling him close*
Flynn: *sighs, relaxing slightly into the hug, settling a little. Muffled* Sometimes, I just feel so damned stupid for what I should've seen and done.
Tron: *combs fingers through his hair a bit. everyone feels that way sometimes. non-committal noise of affection, commiseration*
Flynn: *shaky breath out. That... has quite the effect, actually, and he closes his eyes, squeezing them a little for a moment, before just snuggling in*
Tron: *there, much better. in a way. snuggling him close, tight, a thousand cycles plus of protecting giving him quite the I'll-take-care-of-you aura, holding him close*
Flynn: *and even with nearly as long of being the exiled one in charge... that still very much works on him. Especially with how much he does trust Tron* Thanks, my friend.
Tron: *smiling, it's audible in his voice, warm and steady* Any time you need.
Flynn: *smiles a bit, too* I know... you were always there for me when I called... and lots of time when I didn't. *and then the other pang comes back. Of how he repaid Tron, during all those many cycles... but he swallows that one. One upset at a time.*
Tron: Of course. *it's just who he is. and even if he doesn't know what caused it he can feel the slight shift of tension in his friend's body, hugs him tightly again, for a second * It's what I do, remember? *faint smile, deliberately light tone*
Flynn: *and what do I do?* Mm-hmm. And you do do it well. *eyes closed still, and hugging a little tighter. He can too protect his friends, dammit, he'll find a way yet. Crappy track record notwithstanding*
Tron: *quiet, husky* You're worth it. *yes, he does mean that. all of it. strong and steady and holding on tight*
Flynn: *slightly starts at that, but then actually relaxes better, after* And so're you, old friend. I'll just... have to keep that up.
Tron: *soft snort, chuckling. he has no doubts that Flynn can keep up. maybe not as much, as fast or as hard as they used to, but they all go a little slower these days, whether from age or caution.*
Flynn: *and grins at that sound, oh, it's good to hear.* Mm-hmm.
Tron: *there, now. that's much better *
