"I uh..." She looked down, trying to avoid either one's gaze. "Like I said, we're just friends."

He started speaking normally again. "Please? Just give it a shot? For my fanfic?" "If she said drop it, then drop...fanfic? You've known her twenty minutes." "Fanfic. Published, with fifteen chapters, and five million kudos."

"....If I do it, will you please stop?" She asked. Anything to stop this, please.

"Woah, it's a joke. I'm just joking. But he is single, and if you ever find yourself in the same position, go for --" "SHE SAID TO STOP!" Phantez stared at Ren in surprise. They actually looked kind of pissed off.

2015-09-14 08:04:52

She looked back to Ren. "Ren it's fine. I can handle it, okay?"

2015-09-14 08:06:51

"You said to stop, and he's not listening!" "Come on, calm down, you need to loosen up a little." "SHUT UP OR I'LL TAKE YOUR MASK!" He backed away from them nervously. "Okay, shit, okay. Calm down, please?"

She reached out and took both of their hands. "It's alright, okay? Just calm down. It's okay. Just take a deep breath."

2015-09-14 08:10:39

🌀

They were scowling, but closed their eyes and took a breath when she took their hands. "....mmmngh. I won't let him treat you like that."

2015-09-14 08:12:33

"It's something I've experienced before, Ren. It's nothing I can't handle."

2015-09-14 08:14:27

🌀

"But he's..." She'd had to deal with this before?

2015-09-15 06:04:59

●

"He's harmless."

2015-09-15 06:05:58

🌀

She'd said they were harmless too. She obviously didn't know what she was talking about when it came to who was dangerous. "...he was hurting you."

2015-09-15 06:09:02

●

"But I'm not in danger, so it's okay."

2015-09-15 06:10:26

🌀

"............but......." They were growing ever quieter.

2015-09-15 06:11:57

●

"shhhhhhh." She whispered before pulling them into a hug. "It's fine."

2015-09-15 06:13:04

🌀

They went silent. Phantez twiddled his thumbs, wondering if he should maybe leave? But he couldn't just go without saying goodbye. Eventually he decided to join the hug, not making a wisecrack this time.

Ivory looked up when Phantez joined the hug, and giggled. "Seeeee? Harmless."

"C'mon, little bro. Man up. It was just a joke." "Is it your time of month yet?" "Fucking -- okay, haha, I guess I deserved that." "You did."

"You're transgender?" She asked him. Well he passed very well.

2015-09-15 06:23:45

"Yeah. And /fabulous/ too." "Not."

"Fabulous. Lets go with that."

I don't know why. But in the space of a year, or around that time, I somehow hadn't gone to church. Despite all my high horses and the claims I made, I hadn't even made an /effort/ to visit here. Yes, here. At this point, I couldn't avoid it anymore. I needed to talk to God, and I told Anndrea as much before inviting her along. Of course, I didn't expect her to do the same. It wasn't her, but....it would be a comfort just to have her there. After everything. I still hadn't told her. I don't know if I should, much less if I want to. The second I stepped into the stained-glass-lit building, full of pews, crosses, and the faint scent of grape juice, I felt at ease. Like God was right there, giving me a small pat on the back. I paused in the doorway holding Anndrea's hand, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath.

With slight hesitance, she accept. He needed this, and well, it would help ease the tension between them. Especially after the incident with Ivory. Terezi was still highly pissed about that, and she had every right to be. If anything, Anndrea found it unfair that Ivory was getting not even a slap on the wrist. Maybe Lance did not find out yet? He would be mad at something like that, right? Either way,this trip did seem worth it to her. Maybe she could learn more about this place of worship? She squeezed Seculus's hand as they both entered the building.

I felt like I was home again. A slightly blissful smile spread across my face as I gazed up at the high steepled ceiling. It was mostly empty, as there was no congregation right now, and I sat down on one of the pews with a sigh. Most of the other visitors didn't look up, but the ones who did had a double-take when they noticed my wings. Out of those people, about half looked at me with disgust, thinking how arrogant I was to wear angel wings into a /church/ of all places, while the other half were trying to figure out if they were witnessing a miracle or a sign from God.

Of course, Anndrea followed suit. She occasionally glanced at the other people around them, but mostly kept her gaze of Seculus. She really wasn't entire sure how this monotheistic religion was, and honestly, it was a bit odd to her. How could /one/ man do the work of many?
