I stared back, trying to figure out what she was looking for. "Naturally. Are you still working on that?" I hoped she'd say yes. Maybe then I'd have a chance.

"Honestly? I think I found him." She wasn't sure if he would take the hint that it was him, but it was worth a shot.

2015-05-13 06:14:49

.....oh. I suppose not, then. That was...horribly disappointing. Her eyes began to go fuzzy, along with the rest of her face. I wasn't sure if tears were contributing or not, though my face wasn't wet. I squeezed her hand. "...until next time. Good luck." With everything. With dealing with Calypso. With being alone, too. With your 'right person'. Then I woke up on the couch, hand warm.

"Until next time." She squeezed his hand back, and he disappeared. Oh, Anndrea. If you only could begin to tell him.

Terezi was in her room still, eyes maintaining their focus on the dress in front of her.

After Ren had recovered a bit, they'd gone around pinching out candles. Yes, it hurt a little, but caused no lasting damage, and the pain brought them back to reality. They'd actually just done that. Shit. Even I'm shocked, psycho. So shocked, in fact, that I think I'll let you sleep a bit so you don't throw yourself out the window in this half-lucid state.

RW: Oh thank you /ever/ so kindly

RW: Whatever would I do without you?

Cut the sass, kid. I'm being gracious here. They changed into an oversized purple sweatshirt with the collar hanging around their shoulders and a pair of pajama pants. No idea where the sweatshirt came from. Bed? Psh. They curled up in a ball on one of the armchairs, grabbed a headset off the table holding a few candles, and shoved it over their thick blonde hair, tapping a button on their laptop to start some piano and techno playlist. Fucking soothing and shit. Probably to block me out best they could. You're gonna have to try harder than that. Lucky for you, I'm leaving you alone tonight, so enjoy your sleep while you can get it. Hair sticking up at odd angles around the plastic, they passed out positioned like a cat on the chair for the next sixteen hours or so, mumbling shit. They slept like a log. Crazy things happen when you haven't slept in a week.

So, Dameien had himself a date? Sweet. Wonderful. Why wouldn't he? He was pretty damn attractive. Of course, his date was damn fine too.

The next day, he took a shower and wore at least somewhat decent clothes. Yes, the camboy didn't buy fancy clothes or anything for his 'acts', but this would do. Besides, it's not like they were going anywhere special. Just at a casual sit down place. That's where you go for dinner...well, lunch, right? Yeah, of course.

He knocked on Ren's apartment door. Time to lay on the charm once more.

2015-05-13 07:10:40

🌀

Ren was still out cold. At the knocking they shifted a little, but didn't wake. Goddammit, WAKE UP, YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HERE.

2015-05-13 07:12:54

No answer. Well, he knew this kid wouldn't be out. Who the hell leaves the house anymore? Well, apart from his neighbor, no one. Then again, Tassek does love to get his mack on with Terezi. He knocked again, this time a bit louder.

2015-05-13 07:15:42

They mumbled something and flailed about with one arm until they found the laptop. The music, coming from a computer that had been continuously charging and playing for sixteen hours straight, stopped. That can't be good for your electrical bill. They pushed themselves off the chair without taking off the headphones, and the jack pulled itself out of the laptop as they moved towards the door. When they opened it, it took a minute for their sleep-hazed mind to process who was at their apartment and why. And even then, they were just like '....wha?' Get it together, Witless Wonder. "..oh. Hi." They tugged on the shoulder-baring sweatshirt self-consciously. What time was it? He was wearing nice clothes. He'd taken the date seriously? They never would have expected that.

2015-05-13 07:22:33

He heard shuffling, and the door opened. Ren, honestly looked like a flaming hot mess. "Did I wake the sleeping beauty?" Dameien asked as he raised an eyebrow. Well look at that, they actually got sleep.

2015-05-13 07:25:16

🌀

Damn, are you seriously that attractive when you're tired? "....yes." They disregarded the last bit. "But if I'd slept any longer I probably would have gone into hibernation, so it was for the better." They yawned and rubbed at their eyes, running a hand over their hair and bumping into the headphones, which they took off. They'd /wondered/ why he sounded so muffled. Shit, you are NOT a morning person are you? And it's FUCKING AFTERNOON.

2015-05-13 07:30:02

●

"Well you think lunch will help wake you up?" He asked. "Or do I need to lock lips with you again in order to convince you to leave your place?"

2015-05-13 07:33:48

🌀

They genuinely considered it for a minute. You know what, I take it back, I like you better when you're tired. "Let's go with lunch. Just a minute." The door closed and they went to change and overall become decent. When it opened again they were wearing a short-sleeved graphic hoodie, long arm warmers to cover up the stitches, and skinny jeans. There was a clip in their hair to keep it up out of their face. Actually, pretty nice outfit, so the psycho does have some sense of fashion.

2015-05-13 07:38:31

He waited until Ren exited the apartment again. "Dayum, you clean up fast. Though I don't know if I like the before or after better." A grin was plastered on his face.

2015-05-13 07:44:48

🌀

They rolled their eyes. "Both took great effort. After was just more voluntary."

2015-05-13 07:48:46

●

"Teach me your ways then. No idea if this face stays pretty forever or not yet. Only been out for a few months."

2015-05-13 07:51:13

🌀

"It's completely natural, it can't be taught." The fuck, are you stealing my lines? They closed the door behind them and stretched. "I honestly didn't expect you to come back. This quickly, or at all."

2015-05-13 07:52:55

●

"Hmmm? And why wouldn't I? A date is something we both need to take the edge off."

2015-05-13 07:55:47

🌀

"Because, for the most part, I scare off anyone I spend more than five minutes with." And they were kind of a jerk. They were still confused about why he'd decided to help and even go out with them after they'd shoved him into a wall, threatened him with a knife, and punched him the gut. I'm still confused too, actually.

2015-05-13 07:58:40

●

"Bah, you're not that scary. If you were, well then I guess I'm little red riding hood and you're the big bad wolf. Come to steal my goodies, have you?" This fucker was crazy. Of course he'd date them.

2015-05-13 08:03:23

🌀

Yes. Yes they are. That's kind of the whole fucking point. "Only if they're not covered in rat poison. That would be the smart thing to do. Decoy goodies~" All this talk of food and eating small children was making them hungry. "Speaking of which, I'm kind of starving. You mentioned something about lunch?"

2015-05-13 08:08:45

●

"Mhmmm. Anywhere you prefer, or should I pick since I'm buying?" He shoved his hands into his jean pockets.

2015-05-13 08:11:28

🌀

"Not as if I eat out very often. You pick. I'd say surprise me, but just about anywhere will be a surprise."

2015-05-13 08:14:11

●

"That is a terrible thing and I need to change that. The second I became stable from twerking my ass off I ate out almost once every week." He thought for a moment on where to go. Yes, they could go there.

"Homemade chicken and the blood of sacrificed lambs tastes just fine without a waitress and menu." They fiddled with the arm sleeves, careful not to touch the upper arm where the stitches were. They were afraid it might get infected or something, honestly. It wasn't as if he'd sterilized the string.
