There's been a million things ta make sure go right since we turned back tha day. I've hardly had two minutes ta look in on everyone an make sure they're ok
( Read more... )
Yeah... That other life? Not so much in the way of fun, especially from the 'I-wasn't-with-you-anymore' standpoint.
*sighs* It just feels kinda weird, doesn't it? Knowing that all of this was to get Angel all string-pullable again. Everything, the whole soul-losing thing and...
I didn't mean you, Doyle. It's not like you sat around deciding Angel didn't have enough angst in his life, so you'd do all this...
*closes her eyes for a moment*
Doyle, I trust you. We all do.
Long before you ever became an Oracle, you were Doyle - bad with the dress sense but, generally? Pretty awesome guy. And we didn't need you killing yourself to tell us that.
Connor and Dylan will come round, it'll just take time to get over the PTB's latest trick, is all... *takes his hand and squeezes it* You're one of the good guys, remember?
Yeah, well, Connor's got time to get used to the fact that the Powers don't play fair. *pauses* Geez, that was bitter.
*smiles and leans her head on his shoulder*
I trust you with everything, you know that... I always have. *turns to look up at him*
And as selfish as it sounds? I'm glad that we're okay. I know that everything-- That Angel and everything, is a whole host of stuff left to come but... I'm glad we're still together.
Now, none of us are bitter at what happened, none of us at all.
An I'm glad we're ok too. I was worried what with ya dyin' that I was goin' ta be in a serious doghouse. It's totally selfish of me an probably somethin' tha powers are not happy with, but I am happy ta have you.
Bitter? Not even a word in my vocabulary. Now, pissed off? You look that up? And there'll be a picture of your girl sitting right there... *laughs*
And hey, it's not your fault I died, so less of that line of thinking. It's the Powers, remember? They're to blame for pretty much everything these past two days. *shakes head*
What do we do now, huh? Well... I made pancakes earlier. We could eat those... *smiles* Or there's takeaway. I'd cook you something, but I think the PTB turning back the day again when I kill you? Not a lovin'... *smiles*
Or were you thinking the more life-altering question of-- *puts on mock grave voice* --where do we go from here?
I'll settle for where we eat, that's about tha level of my brain right now, and then maybe we can figure out what we'll do this evenin', unless of course ya have ta babysit the evil one again.
An ya know tha whole say whatever pops into your head pissy attitude it what made me love ya in tha first place, so just roll with it.
We'll worry later about tha deeper where's and what's. Tonight I just want ta be here with ya.
*laughs and reaches up, kissing Doyle* Oh, I can be pissy, alright. But I like using my mouth for better things. Like, kissing you. *grins*
As for O Evil One and the rest of the world? That's on Wesley duty. He promised he'd call if anything came up so tonight, you got me all to yourself... I guess our decisions really do extend to where we're eating tonight and how much time's gonna be spent getting groiny. *wiggles eyebrows, suggestively*
*grins, threading her fingers through Doyle's hair*
Oh yeah... All for the wearing each other out deal...
Uhm...
What was the other part again?
*smiles, pulling him back up to kiss him* C'mon, Oracle Boy... Time to go some place that's else. And y'know, one of these days? They'll have an automated takeout service at, like, a push of a button, no effort at all required...
*grins as they go into the bedroom, tickling Doyle as he shuts the door behind them*
Damnit, Dennis, it's Doyle! He isn't carrying a gun or anything!
*waits for Dennis to open the door, smiling at Doyle*
Sorry. He's still a little jumpy, I guess.

*smiles at her*
How are ya holding up?

Yeah, it's amazing he still lets people of the male persuasion in my apartment, huh?
And... I'm good, actually. Aside from Angelus hitting on me at, like, every opportunity... Ugh.
What about you? *smiles, tentatively*
Reply
Better than I thought I would be. I saw a long time alone, an suddenly that isn't what's happenin'.
*touches her arm*
I could do without knowin' that I seem ta have been mightily manipulated ta bring all this about. But as long as we're ok, I think I'll make it.

I think we got what's known as royally shafted.

Yeha, it's fun bein' tha one who gets ta attach strings ta people.
No one's ever goin' ta trust me again after this.

Right, and Connor is so known for his forgivin' nature when it comes ta things like this.
Oh he probably won't hate me, just might never trust me for nothin'. But as long as Des does I guess that's enough.
*puts his arms around her waist*
As long as you trust me that's all i need.

Well ya know we could always order out, so that there's more time for groiny explorations.
*kisses her back and pulls her close*
Or we could just order later after we wear each other out...
