33 - [Action]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Like the last time his number was pulled for the draft, Ceodore is a big bundle of energetic activity. It's not all just in preparation for the fighting to come. He's trying to stay busy to avoid thinking about things like the latest experiment and his father's departure. Getting ready for tomorrow is an excellent distraction. Mostly.

He's already

[So dear boyfriend of the Selphie. Guess who you're going to find curled up in the blanket off her bed in a dead sleep on the couch because she was waiting for you to come home?

Three guesses and the first two don't count.]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Aww! Selphie looks so cute like that! Ceodore quietly walks over and tucks the blanket just that little bit more around her. That accomplished, he kneels beside the couch and strokes her hair. He could stay here and watch her sleep all day.]

[boomchucka]

[A sleepy smile has Selphie's lips curling upward at the familiar touch. Eventually, her eyes open halfway and she looks at him.]

Hey.

[lunarianlegacy]

Hey.

[Selphie's gorgeous any time, but when her eyes are half-open like that, she's especially so. For a moment, he leans up and kisses her on the forehead.]

Sorry for waking you.

[boomchucka]

It's okay. [Pouuuuut.]

I was waiting for you.

[lunarianlegacy]

Looked like you were sleeping to me.

[He moves to sit on the arm of the couch to be closer to Selphie, but off the floor.]

[boomchucka]

I fell asleep while waiting for you. [She'll up and lean against him. She doesn't want him to go where she can't keep an eye on him. Prince or not, he's a novice on the battlefield.]

[lunarianlegacy]

Sorry about that. I needed to take care of some things before tomorrow.

[boomchucka]

I know... I wish I was going with you.

[lunarianlegacy]

I know. Don't worry though. We'll be fine and I won't let anything happen to the others.

[boomchucka]

Don't let anything happen to yourself either. [Selphie would fall apart at the seams if he didn't come back.]

[lunarianlegacy]

I'll do my best.

But protecting everyone here from those people is more important.

[It's possibly one of the most wise and mature things that he's concluded. He tries to smooth it away by half hugging Selphie from where he's perched.]

Keep Kelmis out of trouble for me?

[boomchucka]

[She'll latch around him and refuse to let the derp go.]

I'll try...

[lunarianlegacy]

Will you be okay?

[Not the best timing to be leaving her entirely alone.]

[boomchucka]

I'll be fine.

[lunarianlegacy]

[If she's putting on a brave face, he can't tell, so he takes Selphie at her word. He hugs her again and kisses the top of her head.]

I'll miss you.
