Oh dang, so I made my own metaphorical bed here. How tragic.

[He lets out a slow sigh against her cheek, closing his eyes and just... treasuring the moment. Just for a second. Letting it just be without chancing kicking over any emotional beehives.]

It's not your fault. Took as long as it needed to.

[clickclickbloom]

Yup. And now you're being held in a literal one.

[She feels his breath against her cheek and leans into slighly, letting her cheek press in against his. She's more than happy to give them both the moment.]

Maybe, but it wasn't yours either. I'm just glad I don't have to take the bus anymore. Save a few dents in the vespa too.

[droptheious]

That I am. Curses.

[He doesn't sound all that cursed. Not even a little. ]

I mean... it kind of was mine a little. [He still tried to kill her- right mind or not, and he can't gloss over that.] Maybe if you actually looked at the road when you drove the vespa, it wouldn't get dented. Just saying.

[clickclickbloom]

[He's cursed in the best way. Stuck with a really dumb girl.

She gives a little nod at that, her cheek rubbing against his as she does.]

A little. I'll give you that. Because I made my choices that month too and I wouldn't take them back.

[She's already made it clear she'll still stand by his side to make sure he doesn't go down that road again.

She pulls back and gives him a playful little glare at that comment.]

Maybe if everything else got out of my way when I was on the road it wouldn't be a problem!

[droptheious]

[He accepts this curse and loves it a lot. He lets out a soft hum at her first comment. July was... a pretty awful mess and even now they're still putting the pieces together from that. Much like most of the mistakes in his life, time is the only real fix for anything.

He flashes her a wide, buck-toothed grin at that.]

I'm sure the streetlight that was definitely on the pavement and not on the road would feel very differently about that.

[clickclickbloom]

[She doesn't press after she hears that hum. Instead she just lets one hand loosen it's grip so she can raise it gently fiddle around with brush at the hair at the base of his neck thoughtfully.

The playful little glare grows a touch more dire but is still very lighthearted.]

Well maybe if they pavement hadn't jumped out at me I wouldn't have gotten the poor streetlight involved.

[droptheious]

[Well, that's pleasant, and he sinks into it a little, letting out a chuckle.]

Ohhhhh I see. So the pavement moved. Everything makes sense now.

[clickclickbloom]

[She smiles seeing him sink into the motion, she just lets her fingers dig in a little but not painfully so.]

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. The town clearly has a problem with me having a sweet Vespa, so it's definitely moving things around to get in my way. Because it clearly doesn't want us having nice things.

...Except for maybe this.

[droptheious]

[It's nice. He needs one nice thing today, okay, he'll take this.]

Seems pretty irresponsible of the town to give you that Vespa, knowing full well you'd have rouble driving it in any way resembling law-abiding.

[Or the nice-thing idea. Probably his is the correct one, though. He lets out a soft hum all the same.]

Shhhh don't be so loud about it, Sodder'll hear and do something to ruin the moment.

[clickclickbloom]

[He deserves that nice thing. He's earned it after a hard day of making her a little less crazy.]

Wha- Wow. I can't believe you're siding with the town over me on this one. That's so rude. I'm telling you it's sending all these things at me. It's totally rude and irresponsible of it to do that and then prevent me from doing anything law-abiding.

[She is clambering to this paper thin story with everything he has.

She'll smile as she gets an idea then leans into his ear and whipsers.]

Right sorry. She'll never hear us now. Don't be rude, Sodder.

[droptheious]

I'm pretty sure Ruby "Let's Do Crimes" Rose doesn't care that much about abiding by traffic laws. Just saying.

[Ruby, don't do this to him. He's a good(ish) boy, he doesn't deserve this. He blushes at the sudden closeness and the whispering.]

Oh yeah. Flawless.

[clickclickbloom]

I-I care a little. I'd care if someone got hurt!

[But not herself despite all the crashes.

Sorry Varian. She's n-Okay. That's it's not accurate to say she isn't a good girl. But she's a good girl and kind of a gremlin. So he's just going to have to deal with that.

He's also unable to run away which makes this even worse. She catches the blush and actually manages not to fall directly into the feed back loop herself. Instead she playfully continues the whisper.]

Pssssst.

I know, right? The perfect crime.

Now we can share all kinds of secrets without Sodder finding out.

[droptheious]

[She's trying to kill him. She's trying to kill him dead. He can't even escape, this is so cruel and unusual. It's a good thing she's escaped the feedback loop, because he is being dragged into it's icy depths as he flops his head back on the pillow, that blush not going away anytime soon.]

I-I don't think it works that way.

[clickclickbloom]

[She is thankfully too busy being a huge goof to get pulled into the feedback loop yet. Or a complete monster, either work really. Like the little gremlin she is she continues.]

Not with that attitude, it wont. You just have to believe it will. It's weird dream logic, right?

[droptheious]

[He'd put his money on that last thing, honestly. He raises one eyebrow in her direction.]

If it worked that way I would have believed myself some really fancy lab equipment by now.

[clickclickbloom]

Maybe you just haven't been believing hard enough, ever think about?

[droptheious]

[He snorts in amusement.]

Are you saying my deep-seated cynicism is a handicap in this weird dream logic?

[clickclickbloom]

[She grins playfully.]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

Not that I'm asking you to get rid of it, it's part of your charm. But it's not getting you any amazing super science labs.

[droptheious]

I think I'll just live with my regular actually real science lab if it's all the same. Who knows when the one made out of hopes and dreams would break down into... whatever hopes and dreams are made out of.

Rainbows? Fairies? Kittens? Something like that, probably.

[clickclickbloom]

[Varian should be worried because as he describes this Ruby's smile grows brighter and wider. She gently shakes his shoulders around.]

No, no! We have to try this, for science!

Just think of all the kittens we could get of this! It'll be awesome.

We could make our own cat videos and post them on the network!

[droptheious]

[Oh no. Oh no. He's made an error. He waves his hands a little frantically.]

No no. Ruby, I'm being sarcastic. There are no kittens, nooooo kittens.

[clickclickbloom]

[Just the biggest pout.]

...No kittens?

[And a sniffle. Her world has been crushed.]

1/2

[droptheious]

[Jesus fuck Ruby, don't do this to him. ]

2/2

[droptheious]

I guess there's probably a universe out there where hope is made out of kittens.


Maybe.

A scientifically impossible universe. But sure.

[clickclickbloom]

[She went there.

And how quickly her expression turns around is simply bewildering.]

Yay~! Maybe one day we'll get to see it. Or one of the kittens will show up in the blessing basket one day.

I bet they're the fluffiest around. Hope makes things extra fluffy, you know.
