"...It doesn't matter, don't let them get involved." she looked away. She couldn't even keep eye contact for long.

"It's too late for that. I'm -- we're helping you whether you like it or not."

2015-05-19 09:13:55

●

"...Maybe it's time to get others involved, Terezi."

"No."

2015-05-19 09:14:31

🌀

"Too bad. That happened the minute you left."

The front door handle jostled as the key was inserted into the lock and he glanced over at it, then at Anndrea. "...you might want to go get that."

2015-05-19 09:16:21

●

"Hmm?" Anndrea looked towards the door. Who could that be?

Terezi went quiet again.

2015-05-19 09:18:01

🌀

The door opened and Seculus stepped inside. He hadn't changed at all, oddly, except he seemed more tense if that was possible and had gotten a new pair of glasses over his dark-rimmed ice chip eyes.

Great. Another night of forced flirting over with. Now I could sleep...maybe. I turned to lock the door, but felt that odd sensation I hadn't experienced in quite some time and paused. Was Eilliot here? I glanced toward Tassek's bedroom and my mouth fell open.

2015-05-19 09:25:25

●

When they locked eyes, Anndrea froze. "....Seculus?" Her face lit up like Christmas. Oh my goodness. He was /here./ That was him!

Immediately she broke into a run. Damn, this girl could go! Within seconds, she had manged to leap into his arms, a grin spread widely across her face.

2015-05-19 09:30:03

🌀

Wha--? Anndrea? Here? /Human?/ Just when I thought this was going to be just another one of those days.

I laughed, lifted her into the air with an ecstasy-fueled adrenaline rush, clasped my hands around her waist and kissed her.

Wait, shit, I just did that. Is she going to kill me now? GOD I THINK I'M DYING INSIDE. IS THIS WHAT DYING FEELS LIKE? IS IT BAD THAT I LIKE IT?

2015-05-19 09:36:01

●

She felt lips against hers. Kissing? HOLY SHIT. HE KISSED HER! HE KISSED HER!

Behind her lips, she giggled. Slowly, she closed her eyes and held his face before returning the kiss.

Lord only knows how long she had been waiting to do this.

2015-05-19 09:39:17

🌀

Either she was trying to kill me by suffocation or SHE WAS ACTUALLY RETURNING THE KISS. I smiled as I kissed her, wrapping a hand in her dark, rain-smelling hair. This day had gone from monotonous to the best in my dreary existence in just a split second.

Tassek looked at them and then away sheepishly, grinning. Good for them.

●

As they kissed, she reached up and grabbed the base of her ponytail. Her chipped and scratched french manicured nails grabbed the rubber band and pulled it down. Her now long locks fell out messily as her hair waved and spilled out around her. Gods, she couldn't stop /smiling./

Terezi glanced at them with a slight smile, and that smile faded once her eyes met Tassek once more.

2015-05-19 09:48:54

🌀

I could do this forever, and probably would if we were both still mental constructs. Unfortunately, I had to come up for air, and took the opportunity to squeeze her tighter. "I can't believe it, you're actually here, and...wait, you're human, what about Calypso?!" My joy turned to worry as all the old concerns came rushing back and my breath quickened.

Crap, looked like he was having another panic attack. What a time for it. If anyone could take care of it, though, it was Anndrea, so Tassek left them to that. Instead, he stared into Terezi's eyes, his own lime filled with a determination that hadn't been there the last time they'd seen each other. Then he leaned over the bed and kissed her as well, gently.

2015-05-19 09:56:03

●

She noticed the joy turned to worry. "Shh, it's fine. We can talk about it later. I'm not going anywhere. I'm here now, for real this time." She pressed her forehead to his, looking him in the eyes. " Just calm down and think about something else right now."

Please, /please/, don't kiss her. It will only make leaving that much more painful. Weakly, she kissed him back. Ugh, now even she wasn't even listening to herself now.

2015-05-19 10:02:39

🌀

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Think about something else. Something else? I opened them again and just looked at her. There was something else. She was even more beautiful in person. Something else for sure.

He released the kiss and straightened up with a smile. He had finished cleaning the wound. "Now rest. I'll see if I can get these two to quiet down." Well, actually, they were pretty quiet already. She was naturally quiet, and while he was a big talker, his voice was soft. Maybe just close the door. He went to do so.

2015-05-19 10:10:38

●

She noticed the slowed down breath. "See? Much better. Honestly, I thought I said to NOT worry." She teasingly smiled.

Terezi just groaned as a response. As much as she cared for Tassek, she didn't want to be here.

2015-05-19 10:13:41

🌀

"Unfortunately, there's a difference between not worrying and not having anything to worry about." I returned the smile shakily.

He just looked at her for a second. Then he closed the door, sat at the desk next to the bed, and almost immediately fell asleep looking at her. Hey, he'd held on this long at least.

2015-05-19 10:16:49

●

"True, and some of that I am assuming has came from me. I apologize."

Of course, well, looks like she didn't have a choice now. Might as well sleep. She closed her eyes.

2015-05-19 10:18:58

🌀

"It's not your fault, I got worked up over little things...how did you end up this way, anyway?"

2015-05-19 10:21:05

●

"It's...a long story, but do you have the time for me to explain it?" Her stomach growled. Holy shit she was hungry.

2015-05-19 10:22:30

🌀

"Of course I do. Perhaps we should leave them to sleep, however..." I glanced back at the closed bedroom door. "Would you like to go out to eat?"

2015-05-19 16:55:38

●

"Yes, it would be best." She paused for a moment at the question. Was he asking her out on a date? Oh my goodness, is there a way to say yes fast enough? Well actually saying it would be a good start. "Y-yes, I'd love to." She carefully got off him.

2015-05-19 17:02:29

🌀

"Good. There's only one place that comes to mind that is open this early and doesn't serve primarily heavily processed meat. Let's go." I took her hand and led her out the door and down to the street. Yes, I'd only just gotten home, but this was worth it. The night seemed brighter now, somehow.

2015-05-19 17:07:57

●

She giggled and followed him out of the house. Her hand gripped his tightly as their finger intertwined. "Wherever it is, I'm sure it shall be wonderful." She placed the rubber band in her pocket. Might as well let her long locks be for a bit as well.

2015-05-19 17:10:31

🌀

After a bit of walking we arrived at iHop's. Alright, not the fanciest of destinations, and certainly not the most romantic, but it was convenient. It was mostly empty, and we were seated almost immediately.

2015-05-19 17:13:40

●

To her, this seemed like the best ever. When they were seating, she brushed her hair out of her face for...the third time since they left the home. Well, it was nice while it last. She reached into her pocket and started putting up her hair once more. "So, where should I begin?" She asked as she fiddled with her hair. "I do have 6 months worth of story to tell."
