Day 40: Sun Room [Fourth Shift]

Apr 09, 2009 09:14

Well, that was... special. No wonder he was losing respect for this place--the fearful Martin Landel was coming undone, most probably with boredom. So scary. Even Nursey seemed a little exasperated, though that most likely had more to do with X's constant insistence to stay in the Sun Room rather than go inside the Greenhouse ( Read more... )

The thought that definitely can't be all flashed across her mind when Superboy's arm suddenly found a place across her shoulders. It was a deflection if she'd ever saw one, and she probed his expression (so close up, it was easier than it should've been) with a tiny furrow in her brow. "As long as you're sure..." she tried, haltingly. "I'm always around to talk." Even if he didn't want to, or wasn't comfortable confiding in her, the offer was at least there... it wasn't as though she'd push...

... But there was something dangerous in the new topic Superboy had jumped to.

She'd just been thinking he wasn't a bad person, so it wasn't like she was worried about her safety or anything like that, but being wary was something different. Tsubaki wasn't sure how to put the feeling into words--she just hadn't been in such close proximity to someone acting like that to know what to think about it yet.Yet. Considering this was the second time Superboy had gotten so close, she figured it was something he did a lot...

Her gaze flicked to where his hand rested over the curve of her shoulder and back again, unable to help the idea that despite the fact she wasn't outside to exercise, she might still break out into a sweat just sitting there.

Man, Tsubaki was freaked. He almost laughed at the way she seemed so worried just 'cause he'd gotten closer to her. Sure, he'd been kind of a jerk before, trying to cop a feel the first night they met, but he could behave. It did help that she was kind of worried about him. He was fine - it took more than some loon with too much time on his hands to get to Superboy, he just didn't want to talk about it. 'Cause that would be lame. But it was cool that she was concerned so he'd be nice.

Besides, her near panic at having him so close did help lift his mood, even if it was a little cruel.

"You're really something, you know? How come you haven't got a guy following you around making sure no one else tries something? Not that I don't think you can take care of yourself, but surely no guy in his right mind wouldn't be possessive."

The furrow became quizzical, the only sign she gave as to her thoughts.

“I don’t really think…” The hesitant protest trailed off, and instead Tsubaki laughed once under her breath. “You don’t have to say things like that.”

She was well aware the dismissal was a pathetic attempt to deter him. It was beyond her to consider whether his words were realistic or not--she just knew he liked to tease, probably for the sake of teasing, especially in this case. That left no good way to respond. Not to mention that Superboy was asking about a subject she had little to do with, and that… made her feel a little uneasy. Inexperienced.

And in the end, it was only Superboy who thought that way…
