I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

[virtualunknown]

Characters: MakubeX and Xion (closed)
Content: Seems Xion's been getting some attention this week. Someone's a bit worried...
Location: Here and there? Starting at Xion's room, at least.
Time of Day: Evening
Warnings: Potential for fluffiness.


Watching the networks the past week had been quite stressful. It was bad enough that so many had aged. Now so many were giving Xion looks that made him nervous.

He was still concerned about his conversation with Maes. That had been a major part as to why he'd been keeping quiet. Then again, his conversation with Zidane had been weighing on his mind as well.

Now, he realized, he had to act before someone else had the chance. It was now or never. And, besides, if he made a complete fool of himself, he could always say it was due to the transformation.

He took a deep breath and tapped on Xion's door...

Comments

No worries!

"If you know that much, than I would say that you still can feel some emotion," MakubeX replied softly. To be honest, her response had been better than he had calculated. It wasn't a rejection and he hadn't scared her off.

"But I understand." He looked up and gave her a tiny smile. "Nothing has to change. I'm happy with how things are as is. I just... thought it would be less awkward in the future if I let you know now." Of course he knew such an admission would change things in some way. It was just the nature of it.

"If you find things change in the future... well, we can go from there."

((OOC: ...aaaaand I just realized I forgot to have him mention something in their "life stories" log. Gah.))

Yay.

It took more than this to scare Xion off, and as far as rejecting him went...She wasn't going to do that when she wasn't sure of her side of the equation. Not that it counted as a full acceptance of a change in relationship status, either. She just needed a bit of time to sort things out; anyway, even if she didn't (or couldn't) feel the same way, she'd still want to stay friends

His response got him a big smile of relief, tempered with a bit of wistfulness at the thought of possibly being able to feel. "It would be nice." Her cheeks reddened a little. "Thanks for telling me. I'll let you know if things change...Though I like the way they are now, too."

She didn't know if this knew knowledge in and of itself would change anything , but thought it was good that he'd told her. Thinking about it for a moment, she realized he'd probably been considering this for a while. "Was this what you were asking for advice about?"

[OOC: D: Something major?]

[virtualunknown]

MakubeX nodded, still relieved that things had gone so well. But at the question, he blushed.

"Ah... yes. It was. I didn't know what to do."

((ooc: Somewhat. D:))

[skysmirror]

She'd thought he'd know a little more about this than her. Oddly enough, she's a little relieved to know she doesn't have to play a lot of catch-up.

"So we're both new to this."

[virtualunknown]

"Yes," he replied. It was something that he never really had time for. His duties to his people had always come first. Even then, anyone he had ever taken any interest in were out of reach in some form. This was entirely new and not something he could easily calculate. It was terrifying, but... now he was looking forward to the possibilities. Even if nothing did come of it, at least he had tried.

"Something else we can learn about together."

[skysmirror]

Xion herself had always had to be concerned with ensuring she was useful to the Organization. Aside from that..the subject had never come up. She'd had her friends, and been happy with that. This was new, and while it was scary in that she knew both of them risked getting hurt, it was a little exciting, too.

She smiled. "Let's just hope it's an easy lesson, right?"

[virtualunknown]

MakubeX chuckled. "I'm certain it can't be that hard. Besides... It could be a fun journey."

Wrap up soon.

[skysmirror]

"It could be." She laughed a little.

Then her expression sobered. It was a lot to think about, too.

[OOC: D: Moar discussion over PM?]

k

[virtualunknown]

"I... suppose I'll see you around, then?"

((OOC: Sure.))

*Sigh* Meant that to be a question. Sorry. ;_;

[skysmirror]

Xion's expression cleared slightly. She hadn't meant to get lost in her own thoughts the way she had.

"Ah, Sorry! Um, yes." Then another idea occurred to her. "Unless...You want to get ice cream?"

Something familiar seemed like a good idea.

No worries!

[virtualunknown]

MakubeX blinked. He had planned on giving her time to think things over. But... well, ice cream did really sound like a good idea at the moment.

"I would like that."

w00t.

[skysmirror]

Time to think things over would definitely be appreciated, and she'd take him up on that. Right now, though, putting those thoughts aside for a bit seemed best. She'd return to them later.

She stood up and offered a small smile. "Ready?"

[virtualunknown]

He smiled back, moving to get the door for her. He'd resist the urge to reach for her hand, especially with the way things were at the moment. He'd let the next move be hers.

"Ready."

[skysmirror]

That was probably for the best, as Xion might be tempted to overanalyze such gestures at the moment. Had she known to, she would have thanked him for his consideration.

As it was, she thanked him for getting the door for her, and led the way to the cafeteria.
