[Ginia already has a hunch what sort of sight will be greeting her once she's home. She'd watched the drinking contest between Gojyo and another customer and cleaned up after them too. After they left the bar, she quietly hoped Gojyo would be able to find his way home without too much trouble.
Arriving home, she quietly hung up her coat and removed he shoes before walking over to the couch and sighing at the sight.]
[He helps her back, trying to not be too much of a burden while being half-hunched and wiggling his fingers. Finally they're out of the laces and he can stagger with her.]
Don't get it. Different. I like it and it's a, a pain. In the ass.
[It's hard trying to sign and support Gojyo at the same time so Ginia opts to focus on the latter. Still, she's curious what he's talking about while feeling and odd sinking feeling a the same time.
They stumble their way slowly toward Gojyo's room.]
[Finally they're in the room. He can see the bed in front of him, and sorta just wants to go to sleep, but he's also still trying to say something.]
I. You. I like you. Don't mind, so much. Just you. But. You. Why are you? Here. With me. Second choice, like always, like... like always. But you're here.
[She helps him to the bed and into a comfortable position before tucking the blankets around him and taking a seat on the edge of the bed. She can't ignore the fact their whole relationship began on a whim when she had been rejected and unexpectedly turned into something more.]
/Why am I with you? Because... you're you. You were there for me when I needed you and even if you flirt with all the other women... you still come back. You make me happy./
[Ginia reaches down and gives his hand a small squeeze. There's some small relief in his words, but she still feels a bit worried about things.]
/...No. I like being with you. I'm happy with you. But you like flirting and you like women and... I don't want to tie you down./
[Her hand falls on her lap and she looks away. As much as she knows his flirting is a part of his nature and they aren't exactly together, or if they are, it's certainly in a confusing way, it does bother her and she wishes he would stop.
But she doesn't want to change him or make him unhappy.]
[Ginia looks up at the ceiling, her fingers lightly wrapping around his, trying to sort her thoughts out.]
/...I'm afraid you're going to find someone else that's better looking and not crippled and you'll go off to be with them. I don't want to change you or make you unhappy, but yes, seeing you flirt with everyone else does make me unhappy. Jealous./
[There. She said it. Her head drops down and she cover her face with her hand.
But there's also another fact she's not talking about. Hakkai. She's worried one day he'll come to a decision about things and will choose Gojyo and she'll be left alone.]
Not... not with you just for. Not for looks. Have looks. You look good. Very good. But lots of girls have them. Looks. With you for you.
[He nods, which is a stupid thing to do because it makes him feel dizzier. Gojyo closes his eyes for a moment, getting his balance back.]
My flirting? Thought...
[He thinks she'd said it was fine. He doesn't even know if he can stop. It's how he relates to women, and how he makes them smile. Now Gojyo's very confused.]
You want... what?
[Carefully he pushes himself up on his elbows, trying to see her face.]
[What does she want? She isn't even sure anymore. She wants Gojyo and knows the flirting is an aspect of him and it does make other people happy. And she has nothing against other people being happy especially in this place, but she can admit she's selfish and wanting some of that attention all for herself.]
Arriving home, she quietly hung up her coat and removed he shoes before walking over to the couch and sighing at the sight.]

I'm happy. Too. Can't, can't flirt so much. In person. Hard now. But it means you. That's happy.

/...Gojyo... would you be... happier if you were single again? Or unattached to me./
Reply
No.
[Or is it that he's a problem? Gojyo shakes his head, trying to clear it a little, trying to make sense of what all is being said.]
Better with you. Diff... Differ... strange. But better. You are better. Hotter too. Would... would you be? Happier?

But?
[He blinks.]
Love you. Can be... can be. You. You're sad? Don't, don't want you sad.
