Do I have to move the sofa?

[janee]

...I need a sofa. And everything.

[blue_blazes]

Good thing I can handle the heavy lifting.

[janee]

I'd hate to waste money on movers. But it's not really far and I'm giving most of my stuff away.

[blue_blazes]

You know I have super strength and I can fly, right? I have these muscles for a reason. And that means I can lift your sofa and put it in the living room where you want it.

[janee]

Maybe you can come pick out some new furniture with me? I'm moving next door to Anna.

[blue_blazes]

...Did you guys have a fight?

[janee]

No! Not at all. It's just the house has bad memories. A lot of bad memories. That's why I haven't been staying there. So that's why I'm moving next door.

[blue_blazes]

[He nods slowly]

A lot of bad things happened at that house.

[janee]

Yes. Anna doesn't want to leave. I do but I don't want to be too far away and the house next door was on sale.

[blue_blazes]

...Do you want me to knock the house down so then she has to move in next door with you?

[janee]

No. It's okay. Anna and I have talked about this. I'll be right next door to her.

[blue_blazes]

Okay. If you're okay with it.

[janee]

I'm going to miss her like crazy, but it will have to work.

[blue_blazes]

[He gives her shoulders a hug]

You'll be nextdoor, and when she goes back to work you guys are across the hall. You'll get used to it.

[janee]

[She is very nervous, but then blurts out what's on her mind, because that's what she does]

Um, will you move in with me? So I'm not here by myself, and because I'd really like to do that but if you don't want to I understand. Not really, but I will.

[blue_blazes]

[Poor Richard. He just looks so caught off guard]

You want me to move in with you?

[janee]

Um.

You can rent a room if you'd like?? Or I'll just ask one of my friends.

[blue_blazes]

...you

...want me to move in and rent a room?

[janee]

No.

I'm so nervous I shouldn't have even asked. I just want you close. And I'll take whatever I can get.

[blue_blazes]

It's just... You seemed pretty happy with the arrangement you had with Anna...

You sure you want me that close all the time?

[janee]

I was. I am. Anna's my BFF, but I can't stay in that house, I'm not strong enough too. And you were over there a lot anyway.

I think I want you that close... do you want to be that close to me?

[blue_blazes]

[He steps in close, and kisses her]

Yeah. I kinda do.

[janee]

[She wanted that, and is no longer nervous]

You do? So that's a yes?

[blue_blazes]

If you're asking, then yeah. It's a yes.
