Monday, Early Evening, Room 308

Apr 06, 2009 20:39

Rikku was organizing. Her room, that was. Everything in the known universe sucked, majorly, and nothing made any sense, and saving the world: that still sucked pretty hardcore. She couldn't organize any of that -- to be honest, she didn't understand half of it. (Like ... why she'd woken up alone at the clinic. Reno left?) And some of it she didn't ( Read more... )

Reno had gotten the worst of it out of his system. In not-so-healthy ways, and in slightly more healthy talking to Romeo ways, and in eating Ino's chocolate ways. And now he was more or less in his right mind again.

He wasn't fine, but he wasn't going insane anymore, either.

Which was why he was standing at Rikku's door, feeling like a heel for bailing on her last night, but feeling like, at the very least, he was capable of being someone at least remotely resembling the Reno that she'd probably been hoping for, instead of the detached mess he'd been yesterday.

... Bit of knocking. Bit of waiting.

Rikku ... considered walking over to the door, but the splint made her walk funny and she didn't really feel like it. She didn't feel like much of anything, really, but that was besides the point.

"S'open," she called. Wasn't locked. Whoever it was could come in.

Right. The door wasn't locked. Reno could just walk on in.

So, of course, he did. And once he was inside the room with the door shut again behind him, he opened his mouth to say something.

... Words didn't happen. And he was walking toward her and wrapping his arms around her and burying his face in her shoulder, instead. Because apparently his body knew what it was he wanted to say better than his mouth did, tonight.

Rikku ... froze. It was him, and he was wrapping his arms around her, and she ...

Last night. She had expected this last night, when he was amazingly astonishingly not dead, and instead he'd hovered in the doorway, fidgety and looking like he'd rather be somewhere else. Anywhere else. And then he'd left. And -- so what was she --

Rikku closed her eyes. Not quite holding him back yet. Not pulling away. Not sure what he wanted from her.
