Well, that got awkward. I doubt any of us even considered how Terezi's mother would have felt about this whole situation.

"Terezi...you do love him right?"

"Of course I do."

"..then why won't you change him, knowing that at any second he could easily die from something you can't help."

"....." She looked away again.

"...I love you /both/, and I think you should trust him to be able to protect himself without becoming something he's not," I said quietly.

2015-06-09 06:11:26

●

"It's not a matter of protection it's a matter of humanity. Every human dies eventually."

2015-06-09 06:14:58

I looked at her. "That includes us. Do you think she should turn us as well, by that logic?"

2015-06-09 06:17:35

●

"Well, no, but she should at least turn the person who she is in a relationship with."

2015-06-09 06:20:30

🌀

I wanted to say 'and if they end up breaking up at some point in the future?' but stopped. It seemed hypocritical, especially since I was the one who pushed the relationship in the first place. "She's said before that she doesn't want him to go through that. 'Worse than death', I believe you've called it." I looked at Terezi, not wanting her to feel like we were talking about her as if she wasn't there again.

" I did." Terezi spoke up. "It's painful. The entire thing is painful. I'm not putting Tassek through that pain."

2015-06-09 06:27:42

🌀

"I can deal with it, though!" I shook my head. "Regardless, that sort of pain and the corresponding consequences aren't something you should take lightly." "I've been thinking about this for /six months/, I'm not taking it lightly." "I'm only saying...there's no going back. Ever."

2015-06-09 06:49:43

●

"Exactly. What if you change your mind? I can't undo what I've done then." Terezi looked to Tassek now.

2015-06-09 06:55:44

🌀

"I won't. I told you, I've spent every spare second since you left thinking about everything, making pros and cons lists, and the pros column is always filled with your name. I want to do this."

2015-06-09 06:58:10

●

"But I shouldn't be the only reason why you should want this..."

2015-06-09 07:01:14

🌀

"You're the only reason I need."

2015-06-09 07:07:31

●

"But you should need more. What if something happens to me."

2015-06-09 07:10:21

🌀

"That's one of the main reasons I want to do this, so nothing will."

2015-06-09 07:10:57

●

"Tassek." She reached over and took his hands into hers, sincerity in her eyes. "Please. Find some other reason other than me. This is something that has to be for more than just my sake."

2015-06-09 07:14:50

🌀

He stared back with his determined green gaze before relenting. "...okay. If I do...will you do it?"

2015-06-09 07:17:22

●

"...I will at least consider it."

2015-06-09 07:19:17

🌀

I'm sure he was inwardly fist-pumping. I frowned, but at least that had been settled for now. I looked over at Anndrea. Why did she support him being turned? Did she really think it was the best thing for him?

2015-06-09 07:23:05

●

Anndrea glanced from Terezi to Seculus. Why was he looking at her like that? Did her reaction to this surprise him?

2015-06-09 07:25:02

🌀

I trusted her, of course, and that included her decisions, but....well, I am stubborn. She probably had her reasons, and in all likelihood they made perfect sense. I simply refused to see them. For darling's sake. I gave her a nervous smile.

2015-06-09 07:26:54

●

She smiled back at him. Guess it was nothing.

Terezi smiled weakly, giving his hands a squeeze before letting go.

Falling asleep didn't seem like such a bad idea now that Cally wasn't /entirely/ pissed at me, so I did it gladly and with haste. Not like there's anyone worth talking to while I'm awake. Well, okay, DDD's not half-bad some of the time, but whenever I'm around him I feel like I'm going to die at any second, so that's a no right now. There was that boring-ass void again. I wonder if there's a way to spruce it up a bit. Add a loveseat there, a campfire here, a pile of handsaws in the corner...wait, it doesn't have corners. It's an endless void. Shit.

Anndrea looked around cautiously. Where was she? She looked down. Her dress? Huh. This one was more simple. Huh. Where were her old clothes? Was this a dream? Maybe. Carefully, she walked forward. If this was a dream, maybe she could find Seculus here. They did have a lot to talk about from earlier.

I straightened my tie and suit jacket and moved forward into the blackness, glancing around for signs of movement. Man, I've missed you, old buddy. DDD made me sell everything but the tie to buy food. Asshole. Gave literal meaning to "taking the shirt off my back". It was a nice suit. That didn't mean I'd been walking around naked though, I borrowed a t-shirt and shit. There was some kind of white thing in the distance. New outfit? Lookin' good, doll. I waved and cupped a hand to my mouth to amplify my catcall.
