"You and I both know you are fine from fine." She brought his hand to her lips and kissed it softly. "I really want to change that, however."

I flushed a bit. They'd been having me do that at the cafe, but it felt odd for someone else to do it to me. "...okay, so maybe not entirely. But you're doing that just by being here. Don't worry about me, /please/."

2015-05-20 06:12:36

●

"I'm afraid you're asking for me to do the impossible, Seculus." She responded. "I can't help it. You mean too much to me."

2015-05-20 06:14:33

🌀

"..........." I was torn between arguing my point and just sitting there to replay what she'd said in my head. "Well, it kills me to see you worry about me when you have far more problems to deal with yourself. Can you at least, I don't know...prioritize your concerns?" Looks like debate wins out.

"For now, my problems can be put on hold, yours are just as big currently, and I can always come back to mine later. You though..." She paused for a moment and stared at him. "You are just something that is too dear to be merely thrown aside."

🌀

I stared back for a second, confused, before glancing away. Too dear? To her? More than Terezi? Of course I could be thrown aside, the good of the many outweighed the good of one, after all. I would be content to simply sit and watch them live happily. Like the doll. It could be valued, but not requiring worry or attention. Earn a glance or two, moved to balance better on the shelf, then disregarded. I wanted to be like the doll, as if I hadn't had enough experience already. As long as I wasn't a distraction, they could focus on their own problems and quickly eliminate them. She clearly didn't know how to prioritize.

She stared back at him before frowning. "Have I...upset you?" She asked. Well that was the last thing she wanted. "I apologize if I did."

2015-05-20 06:41:09

🌀

"Of course not. You could never. I'm just coming up with counterarguments to your claim." Honesty was the best, and in my case, the /only/ policy.

●

"Is it because you can not find any? Or is it that you're still thinking that you're nothing special?" Sometimes she could read this guy like a book.

2015-05-20 06:46:04

🌀

"Oh, I'm special, but like a warped piece of glass. Useless for my purpose and unsuited for anything else." I wasn't sure where that came from, but it certainly got depressing quickly. "...sorry, nevermind."

2015-05-20 06:50:40

●

Her frowned remain. "You should be sorry. Sorry that you don't see how amazing and useful you really are." She took his other hand. "You really can be something, Seculus. You just haven't seen it yet."

2015-05-20 06:53:33

🌀

"I don't know where you got the idea that I'm useful. Or amazing. I've been looking, and if I haven't seen it, then I doubt it exists."

The staff were beginning to crowd in on their table, just on the edges of eavesdropping space. The place was empty and this conversation where the guy's girlfriend appeared to be trying to talk him out of suicide was the most interesting thing that had happened during their shift.

2015-05-20 07:02:24

●

" I saw your usefulness the moment I first laid eyes on you." She glanced at the staff for a few moments before looking back at him. Yeah, that was not totally creepy at all.

2015-05-20 07:04:44

🌀

"Useful as a conversation partner?" I peered out of the corner of my eye to see what she was looking at and one employee, who was smoking a cigarette, mouthed 'Don't do it man, just think things over.' .....what?

2015-05-20 07:10:22

●

"Not exactly....try....a little more significant."

2015-05-20 07:11:11

🌀

.....I must be duller than previously anticipated. She couldn't be saying what I thought she was. "....you..."

2015-05-20 07:19:37

●

She looked down for a moment and smiled, mostly to herself. "..Have you caught on yet?"

2015-05-20 07:20:38

🌀

I was red now. Seriously. She'd been the same way and I hadn't realized it? I'd thought I was just being ridiculous with the whole thing, having just met her, but she'd been the same.... "..I-I believe so."

2015-05-20 07:25:00

●

Anndrea averted his gaze, her cheeks turning slightly pink as she giggled slightly from nervousness. Okay, so she really just admitted that. The question was, how was he going to react to it?

2015-05-20 07:27:16

🌀

Well. Was it my turn? "Honestly, I....I felt the same way when I met you. A-aside from the usefulness of course. Not that you aren't useful, shit, that really isn't a great compliment is it..." I turned redder and nearly jumped out of my seat when one of the waiters gave me a pat on the back before retreating to his spot on the very clearly-cut circle. Silence from the peanut gallery, please, before I have a heart attack.

2015-05-20 07:31:29

●

Wait...ho felt the same way? Even when they first met. Well then. She leaned over the table a pressed her lips against his for a small peck before pulling away. "You did wonderful."

2015-05-20 07:33:34

🌀

If I were darling, I would have passed out five minutes ago. Maybe that would've been preferable. "Th-thank you. Uh. Should...we order now?" The staff jumped to attention, scurrying off to the kitchen or to get dishes. The waiter with the cigarette hung around to take our order. They were certainly attentive. Or maybe they just did this whenever the restaurant was nearly empty.

2015-05-20 07:39:23

●

"Yes, that does sound reasonable right now." She took one last look at the menu before ordering. Well, she learned a lot more than she thought she would on this little.. 'date'.

2015-05-20 07:42:54

🌀

I used the menu to hide my red face as much as I could. The waiter leaned over my shoulder to look, but I didn't notice until he said something and I actually did jump in my seat. "I'd recommend this one, you can share and we're out of toppings for everything else." He pointed towards the option of strawberry pancakes. Well, that was brutally honest. "Um, alright then...?" "Good luck, guy." He disappeared into the kitchen with our orders and I stared in confusion after him.

2015-05-20 07:56:24

●

Once the waiter left, Anndrea giggled. "Looks like he's concerned for your well-being, and just trying to be nice." She fiddled with her wrapped hands. She kept the wrappings for fighting mostly, but recently it was to cover a bite mark.
