Who: Juudai Yuuki (fierycourage ) and Johan Andersen (thejewelergem ) When: The 28th, about 8pm Where: Johan's apartment Format: Action What: Johan and Juudai have some things to discuss. Warnings: None
[Have some banging in the stairwell, Jyuudai. That'll be Johan, trying to get his bike up the stairs.] Stupid . . . . [And a quiet thud. Bike against wall get, yay.] There. [Short pause.] . . . Jyuudai . . . ?
. . . . yeah. [He fidgets. And looks ready to tell Jyuudai to just forget about it again, except that doesn't really get him anywhere when he tries it.]
[He smiles a little, hoping that it might help calm Johan's nerves.] So, over the past few days I've realized a few things. One being that I'm really bad at this kind of stuff.
[He laughs a little.] The other being that I don't think about things like this very often. [He looks at Johan.] I'm pretty sure you know this already, though.
[Congratulations, you've coaxed out at least a little smile, Jyuudai.]
Rubi rubi.
Yeah. Just a little. [He looks off to one side, embarrassed.] It's kind of nice actually . . . . or was . . . . is . . . [Finally totally giving up and waving a hand around.] You know. After your time, that I've already lived through. This whole different places in time thing is a pain in the butt. There wasn't a whole lot of worrying about what things "meant" or so many week anniversaries or whatever, we just . . . kind of went with it.
. . . you said you were going to. [DODGING THE QUESTION FOREVER. Normally he'd ask, but this week has been hell and he's worried about Anderson and everybody else and yeah, just seems like a good time to not ask.]
[Shuffle. Looking in odd directions. Being embarrassed. Ahem. Yes.]
Rubirubi? Rubiiiiiii, rubirubirubi . . . . rubii.
[Sigh. Shuffle. Sort of trying to make himself look smaller and totally failing.] . . . so . . . . what? [Don't expect him to ask you any more directly than that, Jyuudai.]
[He's just. Going to look at you all puppyeyesish. Except most puppies have brown eyes, not green.]
. . . . . I'm. Kind of hungry. Do you, er . . . I mean . . . we could talk at the table . . . ? [Because that is somehow so much better than Jyuudai lying on the bed while Johan peeks around the curtain like some weird Peeping Tom.]
He didn't say to meet him anywhere . . .

[He really needs to get on with this now.] So, I've been thinking, and I want you to know some things.
