"I'm not acting like it's something freaky. Although you could consider it as such because it was created out of nothing. Probably. Or Abe managed to overstimulate your hair bags. Which sounds kind of .." *tightens his jaw* "never mind. I'm sorry to disappoint."
You're not disappointing... You're here and I am really fucking happy to see you. I just thought you'd be happier to see me. *rallies and smiles* Doesn't matter. You're here. That's the main thing.
".. I should have stayed at the train station for a couple more hours." *cuts his sandwich in little pieces* "I'm very happy I'm here again. With you nearby. I'll show my appreciation with a dance, because my vocal chords wouldn't survive a song."
...You should have stayed at the train station longer? *barks a laugh and shakes her head* Wow. That keen to get home to m-...to get home, huh? *hops down and gives him a shrugging smile* I'm going to have a shower. *squeezes his arm, trying to understand but feeling a bit hurt* You know where I am when you feel more like talking...or sleeping...or whatever.
"To avoid to wake you up and throw you off guard and whatever I did wrong!" *slams his fist on the table* "I have - I thought this would be the place where I wouldn't have to walk on my to- never mind. Take a shower. I think it'd be safer to dump this mess into a chemical container anyway."
Whoa, wait. Walk on your toes? Why would you ever have to do that around me? I just want you to be happy to see me but you're a million miles away. *takes a step closer, worried look on her face* Henry... What the fuck happened to wind you up like this?
"I just need some time to adjust. Please." *wipes his face* "I shouldn't have yelled at you and I'm sorry about that. I should have sneaked in and surprised you with breakfast, not this random surprise thing that no-one ever likes even though Hallmark and all the other channels pretend they do. I just have to .." *cradles his fist* "I'm really very sorry. I just need some time to adjust. Maybe I should have taken a later train and told her that I left."
I liked you surprising me. I really did. *takes his hand and looks at it before going to get an ice pack for it, pressing it gently against the edge of his hand* It's not like I've done this before either. I guess I just thought...you'd want to... *sighs heavily and laughs* This sounds fucking stupid and needy and pathetic. I thought you'd be all over me, you know? Want to get close again. And even as I say it that sounds really fucking selfish and arrogant. *rubs his arm soothingly* I'm sorry - I should have seen you weren't yourself. I didn't realise how badly the trip wound you up. *looks up at him* What can I do?
"I had liked to test the waters before 'being all over you'. Maybe you had gotten used to being alone. And stuff." *takes the ice pack* "This is just as messy as it gets. I shouldn't have brought this stuff here. Except for my work. I'll ask the neighbors tomorrow if I can use their container. You really don't have to ..just be you. I'll try h- I'll come 'round."
*grins sheepishly* Hi, have you met me? I'm the girlfriend that pretty much always wants you in any way, shape or form whenever she can get you, who hasn't been around you for a week. You didn't need to test the waters. *smiles and nods* I can do that. *kicks the bags* Is this lot going to blow up if we leave it here? Or eat through the floor?
*covers his face* "Now I have to clean the bags out because those tupperwares are ancient." *kisses her cheek* "Neither. I just want it away from where anyone could get to it and make the mistake of eating it. Salmonella is probably one of the fewer dangers."
Well Frank is out for the week and Bette promised to give us the house for a couple of days...plus she's with her 'friend' from work, so I think we're safe to leave them here. *tugs on his hand* Come shower with me...wash the journey off?
*grins, pleased* Hi, love. *pulls him gently towards his room and through to his bathroom* *leans in and puts the shower on* *moves slowly and starts undoing his shirt*
