Hey, what's up? It's me, do the message thing.

[unbr8kable]

In theory...

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, like just skip out?

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Aren’t avoiding just one guy when you’re avoiding every guy.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Turn into hermits and hole up in the hideout forever, huh?

[A beat.]

...sounds pretty good, not gonna lie.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Even I can come up with good ideas sometimes.

Maybe have somebody bring us some food every so often. Maybe not.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

You come up with good ideas all the time.

[He tucks his head in a little, so his forehead's resting on her shoulder. His hand is not warm where it holds her own, but the pressure is steady, at least.]

Pretty sure we're gonna have to wait for the ecosystem if we wanna go full hunter-gatherer, though.

[Cuddles in a bit]

Req’d bring us a sandwich until that goes through. Break into the cafe in a pinch.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, we even got options. The conbini came through, and we got that grocery store.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Oh yeah? ...Kinda sounds like a no-brainer.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right? Just gotta tag in every now and then to keep from going gray and we're all set.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Yeah...'course. Prolly no one'll even notice.

[And she lets that lie, quiet]

...I mean, they'd notice you, but that's what you get for being friendly.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Nudges her, gentle.]

They'd notice you, for sure.

[No comment on him. The image of the world passing him by outside the mirror and just not caring is a little too fresh for that.]

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Then they can enjoy the break. Don't get a gift like that every day.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey.

[Nudges her again.]

No one's looking for a break. Sides, anyone who'd want a break from you's got crappy taste, anyway.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

[Opens her mouth, and then closes it--swallows her tongue]

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

For real.

[He gives her hand a little squeeze.]

Like, for real for real.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Either way...if you wanted to hide out some, just say so, I guess.

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Any time, dude. Just say when.

...cept maybe like right now. We already got comfy, might as well stick around for a few.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

Yeah...not right now. But maybe soon.

[Shifts a bit, hesitates for long enough it feels more like a period than a comma. At length she presses her cheek into his hair, soft]

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He shivers a little, at the contact - makes a soft noise that's part surprise and mostly content.]

[He only hesitates a second before he tucks himself closer into the touch.]

Soon's good.

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

[She nods without moving any farther away; relaxes against him, a little. Says "cool," though it comes out sounding a lot more like "thanks"]

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He makes a quiet sound, a wordless affirmative - strokes his thumb along the back of her knuckles, gentle.]

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

[Her fingers flex into the touch, and her sigh flutters his hair. At length stretches a little, so that her ankle brushes his]

Re: 147, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He presses into that, too, like he's grateful for the contact - shifts his leg, so that the place where they're touching is a little wider, the contact a little firmer.]

Re: 147, late

[unbr8kable]

[Settles, then, once it seems like he’s not interested in pulling away]
