[ Well.

Talk about your awkward mornings. It's not exactly the best realization to wake up to, the fact that the past week of generally being in love was due to outside influence- that's something that hurts when you know it, digs in and wants to stay there- but Chouji will not let it stop him from being Chouji. Meaning he will get out of bed and ( Read more... )

!voice, power of ~friendship~, seeing as freaking out won't help, he has priorities, !action, being the nice guy

[Dubs this the song for the upcoming thread.

When Katara answers, her voice is raw as if she'd been crying, and she doesn't bother to up his filter.]

...oh, Chouji. [This sucks so much. She takes a deep breath, the parallel painfully ironic.] ...I guess - the bridge?

[Because she needs to talk to him... and she hopes that he won't say no.]

[ damn your song

Ah. She sounds not quite at her best- which he really can't blame her for. For a really brief second, he'll consider asking if she's sure it's okay, but well. She wouldn't ask if she couldn't handle it.

And he's still not about to say no . ]

I'll be there.

Meet you in about a half hour.

[She wants to wash her face and have something to drink - her stomach hurts too much for breakfast - and make it seem a little less like she was hurting, if she can.

But about a half hour later, there she'll be there and stop abruptly, painfully short of just running over to him and hugging him, and letting that make it all right.

Because it's not. It's not all right. And it was never really like that with them before. Her voice will still sound a bit hesitant and strained, and she's stopped several awkward feet away.]

Hey.

[ Between the two of them and their efforts, they might make for a single less-than-hurting person.

...it occurs to him that he has no idea how to handle this, really. If it's even the kind of thing that can be handled. The best he's got is a smile that very likely indicates as much. Still totally going to be trying, though. ]

Hi.

[After you get back from your meeting with Katara, Chouji, Shikamaru will be waiting for you on a bench in front of their building.

He has potato chips.]

[ Best friend AND chips?

More than happy to join you here, bro. ]

[Shikamaru opens it, taking two chips for himself before offering Chouji the whole bag.]

It go okay?

[Read: Are you taking it all right?]

[ He will just think while he chews for a little while there. Very good question. It was awkward, complicated, confusing, and all-around painful to get sorted out. ]

... I think it'll be all right. She asked for space. [ It's a simple operating system. Fueled mostly by hoping for the best and being Chouji. ] So, you know. I'm giving her space.

[ The overall translation: It could be worse. ]
