Get in and enjoy the ride.

Comments

I couldn't resist, bb. You can ignore if you want.

[nika_tesla]

"Was that an order?"

[ki2k]

Merely a suggestion.

My replies will be shit. SWS on DW hates me

[nika_tesla]

Shame, I might have liked an order.

Do I want to know why?

[ki2k]

I am but a humble servant.

From the switching servers they're doing.

[nika_tesla]

Why do I not believe that?

Didn't even know. I R clueless.

[ki2k]

I don't do innocent very well anymore?

*pet pet*

[nika_tesla]

Did you ever? [But she'll grin and slide inside.]

[ki2k]

I'm sure I must have at one time. Did you decide where you wanted to go?

[nika_tesla]

Do we have to go anywhere? Can't we just drive around?

[ki2k]

That's one of the things I'm best at. [Starts engine, just to drive around]

[nika_tesla]

So you say. HOw have you been lately?

[ki2k]

I DO say. I've been getting by. How about you?

[nika_tesla]

Surviving, as usual. No complaints.

[ki2k]

Indeed. Much the same on my part.

You're all right, then?

[nika_tesla]

Mmm... why wouldn't I be?

[Someone might be sulking just a tad.]

[ki2k]

Because I got cold... feet.

[nika_tesla]

Did you? I hadn't noticed.

[Covering up hurt with apathy was a time honored tradition]

[ki2k]

I'm sorry, Nika. I suppose I hadn't expected to see you again.

[nika_tesla]

Or was it more you hoped you wouldn't see me again?

[ki2k]

Don't make this harder than it already is.

Not exactly.

[nika_tesla]

She can't help it. You've wounded her.

Then what, exactly?

[ki2k]

D: D: D:

I was hoping you wouldn't want to see me.

[nika_tesla]

Heart=broken

Maybe I don't.

[ki2k]

CRIES!

[Quietly] I wouldn't blame you.

[nika_tesla]

sobs

[Sighs and tries not to fidget] You know that's not the case, you bastard.

[ki2k]

SNIFFLES!

[Still driving, not sure what else to do]

Then what is the case?

[nika_tesla]

Y U Hate me? *sobsob*

I don't want to talk about it.

[ki2k]

I NO HATE U!

As you wish. [Still quiet, still just driving]

[nika_tesla]

We know. U hate.

[She could sit there in silence, refusing to show that she enjoyed just being around him again. She wasn't that weak.]

[ki2k]

NO HATE!

[His sensors weren't calibrated for vampires. He could only drive, and observe, and respect her silence]

[nika_tesla]

Love?

[She rested her head back against the seat, letting her eyes look around the interior, noting the blinking lights and sensors that were always watching.] Things have been good?

[ki2k]

LOVE!

[Always watching, forever worried]

Quiet. Things have been quiet.

[nika_tesla]

Come into my arms, bb.

Meaning things have been dull.

[ki2k]

On my way!

A better way of putting it, perhaps. I'm sure you've been up to exciting things.

[nika_tesla]

*sets the mood music up, bow chicka bow wow*

[She was hardly going to admit she'd been mooning over him] Mmm.

[ki2k]

Now you're just being silly. 8)

[He'd missed her, too, but he'd gotten scared by how quickly things were moving] That well, then.

[nika_tesla]

Who, me? *flutters eyes*

[She didn't have much to gauge things by, as far as relationships went. She would have been open to talks, but the sudden leaving had hurt her more than him suggesting to slow things down.] They're fine.

[ki2k]

Yes, you! No eyelashes!

Good, good. [And he'd not had a relationship before, so he didn't know how to handle what was happening. But he knew he'd done the wrong thing by leaving]

I didn't mean to hurt you.

[nika_tesla]

ALL THE LASHES, BB

Who says you did. [Her head turned away from those watchful sensors, gazing out the window. Oh, he had. But she was going to play very hard that he hadn't.]

[ki2k]

YOU ARE EVIL.

Oh. All right. [He wouldn't argue with her - for all he could determine, she might be telling the truth. He suspected otherwise, but again. No arguing]

[nika_tesla]

YOU SAY THIS LIKE IT'S A SURPRISE

[She doesn't even realize her hands are stroking idly along the arm rest, her mind occupied on not showing the hurt. And then... she couldn't.] Why? Why did you just leave?

[ki2k]

WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?

[He's not happy, but at least she's talking now]

I was... afraid. No. That's not the correct word. Terrified. I was terrified. It all became real, and sudden, and terrifying. Staying seemed... It seemed...

[His words are gone]

[nika_tesla]

CLEARLY, YOU WEREN'T!

You could have said something. Things could have been worked out - unless it was me that was the problem.

[ki2k]

I SUCK!

I know that now. After I had time to think. But by then it had been too long. I couldn't face you. You have never been the problem. It's me. It's always been me.

[nika_tesla]

IN ALL THE WAYS POSSIBLE

I would rather you had talked to me. [The wound rubbed a little, hurt just a little more now that she was talking to him.]
