[There's shallow breathing on the line, and maybe if you listen really closely, you might even be able to hear Neil gulp.]

Uh... don't think I'm goin' out today.

Sorry I'm missing work or whatever. I'm... not feeling... uh.

[And that's it.]

Scared I'd end up kissing you? I'm hurt, really.

illgrowoutofit December 11 2011, 22:17:22 UTC

N-- er, I... uh.

[HOW DO WORDS WORK AGAIN.]

Not... you specifically?

[ She does enjoy this reaction, she really does. ]

Well. You shouldn't. I'll have y' know that I'm an excellent kisser.

[Oh, he doesn't doubt your skills, Amy. He's thought about them in the hypothetical more than he'll care to admit.]

Just don't wanna make anybody mad. Stuff gets weird with curses like this.

waitedforyears December 11 2011, 22:39:53 UTC

It's a curse. Who'd get mad?

Lucy?

[ Pause. Pauuuse. Ooooh. ] Your girlfriend?

[private.] illgrowoutofit December 11 2011, 22:52:24 UTC

Y-- no. Yes. Sorta. Maybe? I dunno.

[private.] waitedforyears December 11 2011, 22:54:35 UTC

Gotcha. Your sorta maybe girlfriend. Like Rory was my friend-boyfriend.

[private.] illgrowoutofit December 11 2011, 23:01:34 UTC

W-we're not engaged. [He feels like he has to specify.]

[private.] waitedforyears December 11 2011, 23:03:25 UTC

Neither were Rory and I when he was still my friend-not-quite-boyfriend.

[private.] illgrowoutofit December 11 2011, 23:44:26 UTC

Yeah, kinda like that, then, I guess.

[private.] waitedforyears December 11 2011, 23:45:20 UTC

So y' don't want to hurt her, yeah? 's nice of you.

[private.] illgrowoutofit December 12 2011, 00:23:11 UTC

Yeah, 's the idea. She kinda freaked last time a curse made me do... stuff.

[private.] waitedforyears December 12 2011, 07:12:43 UTC

Yeah? What happened?

[private.] illgrowoutofit December 13 2011, 17:32:55 UTC

Marriage curse thing freaked her out. Kinda talking again now, but it's... weird.
