The Balcony: Danni, Moon

Apr 28, 2005 20:35

[OOC: Continued from HEREMoon smiled at Danni's response to her question, and was relieved at the tangible change in the atmosphere. With Danni suddenly a lot closer to her, and the sound of the rain filling her ears, Moon settled into the conversational silence that had arisen. Her mind was unusually quiet, and it drifted idly until Danni spoke ( Read more... )

Danni had to stop her face from changing expression as Moon mentioned Luke. As much as she wanted to tell Moon about what Luke had done to her it wouldn't be right. Danni was shocked at herself for being so fair to Luke about all this, once upon a time she would have given any chance she could to ruin his life as he had ruined hers. The trouble was, now that she had her opportunity it could involve someone else being caught up in it all, and that someone else was Moon. She didn't deserve to have her opinions made for her, and Danni was certain she wouldn't appreciate it anyway, so she kept quiet, and listened as Moon told her how Alice was a good cook. Her stomach rumbled at the mention of food, and Danni thought that maybe she should have been sensible and actually had something to eat ( ... )

Sensing that Danni was close behind her, Moon snuck a look over her shoulder as Danni updated her on the status of her appetite. In that quick glance Moon tried to glean something from Danni's facial expression that might give her a clue to what she was feeling - there was something that was still bothering her, Moon could sense it ( ... )

Danni noticed Moon momentarily pausing the movement of her hand as Danni kissed her shoulder. But then, she saw Moon's hand continue to move, and felt Moon's hand squeeze her own. She wanted to ask if there was anything wrong, but stopped herself before the words had a chance to leave her mouth. She remembered earlier when Moon had panicked, and Danni knew that she didn't have answers as to why that had happened, so more questions would not help. She hoped that if there was anything wrong then Moon would feel she could talk to Danni about it.

Danni felt the need to talk though, not sure if the silence was entirely comfortable. She felt that the more silence there was, the more the unexplainable tension, or electricity would build. "So, what did you think of the wedding, and the hand stamping?" Danni asked, realising that she was now making small talk and wanted to cringe.

There were a few minutes where neither girl spoke, and the only sound was the soft splattering of the rain. Danni's embrace was warm and soothing, and Moon found herself relaxing more ( ... )

It seemed that Danni's accidental attempt at small talk had crashed and burned, and Danni felt sad suddenly at the thought of leaving Moon for the night as she said goodnight. Sometimes she wished she could just keep her big mouth shut. Maybe if she could just be quiet with Moon and enjoy the silences rather than fear them then maybe... she didn't know what would happen, but she wouldn't feel like such a fool right now ( ... )

Moon had not expected much other than a return goodnight, despite the slight question in her voice, and the offer of being walked to her room caught her off-guard. It also struck her as strangely chivalrous, confusing her even further as to just what was going on with Danni tonight.

"Um, sure... if you like?" she mumbled, then felt like an idiot for saying it like that. "I mean, I don't mind." No, that did not make it any better. Moon blushed and went quiet, close to vowing never to speak ever again if all she could do was make a fool of herself. Slowly she turned, and headed back towards the office complex.

Danni was surprised at Moon accepting her offer. She still felt like a complete dork for asking, but for some reason as long as she was in Moon's company everything was okay, and the longer she stayed with her the better ( ... )

As they had walked through the Mall in cmoplete silence, Moon couldn't help wondering if there was really a point to it. Still, she could not stop herself feeling just a little touched at the gesture, even though she was ever aware of being seen by other people.

Soon enough they were stood outside her room, and Moon could sense that Danni was feeling awkward too. All she could do was nod submissively in response to Danni's comments - but she couldn't just leave it that. She hesitated, wondering if she should maybe invite Danni in to her room - but then what? Would they both just sit there feeling awkward and having meaningless conversation?

In the end, Moon took a deep breath, and made to turn into her room, but her feet would not move from the spot where she stood. Despite feeling awkward and confused, Moon was still reluctant to walk away from Danni. She stalled, fiddling with the fabric of her door curtain.
"Thank you again... for this," she said slowly, giving Danni a brief but sincere smile before finally turning away. "
