Requiem's Ideal World run #1

It's dark... and a little cold.

Oh. You have a text-- wonder what that's about?

...

...

?

Hey, there's some junk in here that's not in the right spots. Take a good look around and fix that jazz. Everything's got a place or whatever.

No sense in hiding from yourself, right?

... what is this, a text for ants?

"I'm feeling lazy," she says, pressing another kiss to her lips before pulling back, so she can go for some more of that food.

"'Sides, my new album ain't done yet."

Chuckles, just watching her eat. "Oh yeah? Saw some of the tracks on your reel-to-reel... Hope you don't mind we went into your place. Didn't know you weren't home. But maybe you could play some for me later, if you want."

"Nah, sh'kool," she says, mouth full. She swallows. "You know you're always allowed over whenever you want anyway.

But I'd love to play for you. Just sorry you'd already heard em before they were done. "

She shakes her head. "Didn't listen to the songs, don't worry. I figured hearing it live'd be better than the recording."

"Oh, good. Well, it will be.

... when I'm done with 'em," she says, setting the food aside to curl a hand over the one on her knee.

"Guess I'll just have to be patient for once." She squeezes Req's knee warmly. "Though it can't take that long, can it?

"It's defs gonna be done by the end of the year. Cross my heart and all."

"Don't gotta go that far," and she cants in a little more. "If there's something I can do to help, uh, let me know."

She's quiet for a moment, gaze on you soft.

"Just... stay with me," she says. Then she pauses, and leans back a little, removing her hand from yours to wave it like she's clearing the air.

"Ugh, sorry. Gettin' all sappy. Don't worry about it-- just be around when you actually have the time to be, you know, like usual."

Nemesis nods, and reaches for Req's hand. "I will. And I can always make time, y'know. You don't gotta just take a ticket and wait for when you think I think you want me around or nothing."

Her hand curls around yours, and she seems kind of embarrassed. "Well-- y'know. It's not like I'm the only person in the world who wants your attention or anything. I'm happy to wait..."

"Well, you don't gotta be. I want your attention, too." This comes out self-conscious as well, her face turned a little away. Nevertheless she laces their fingers; hesitantly brings her free hand to take Req's other one as well.

"Like--I ain't sayin' it should all be on you. You're always independent and cool and got a lot going on all the time, so I-- I mean, I try not to get in your way too much. But just--if you want more space, you can say so. And if you want less space, you can say that, too. I wanna...I'll listen, at least."

"I-- nah, I don't, but--" she hesitates-- does her skin feel a little cooler? Surely not.

"I mean, no reason for me to take you away from peeps that need you more. I thought you were happy, with things like this...?"

She ridges her brows, but keeps her tone soft. "Are you happy with it?"

Earnestly:

"You being happy makes me happier than I can really say. "

"I ain't questioning that. And it's the same for me, believe it or not." She squeezes their linked hands, cheeks warm, and makes a really good case for herself to shut up.

But she's never been great at doing that when she ought to, and pushes on, smile going a little smaller. "If you gotta be unhappy just so I can be happy...that don't seem like the best arrangement. And maybe that ain't how it is, in which case, great. But if it is--or if it becomes that way--we should prolly do something about it...that's all I'm saying."

"I'm not unhappy. Could never be, 'round you," she says, frowning now, and squeezes your hands-- her skin seems a little paler...

But she pulls one hand away, to reach for that yellow tulip you had set down and tuck it gently behind your ear, voice a low murmur when she says, "... I just think you should be with the people you love."

Well--

Well.

Well...

"...Maybe I am."

And she somehow only squirms a little, though her face finds some of the color Req's has lost. "More importantly--if you wanna be with me sometimes, then I think you should be with me. Because that's what I want, if that's what you want."

Now, finally she looks away, awkward. "...Anyways, we don't gotta talk about this now; ain't trying to be a distraction."

Oh

She kind of looks like she's short circuited for a moment, cheeks warm, before she manages to rally.

"I-- always wanna be with you. For reals."

Nemesis flushes a little deeper at that, still a little awkwardly nervous but possibly the good kind for once. "Uh, okay. Cool." She shifts, running her thumb over the back of their joined hands.

She doesn't move for a long moment, just squeezing your hand and leaning towards you.

And she hesitates a moment before gently bumping her head to yours. "... should probably get ready."

Nemesis hums acknowledgement, though does not attempt to move away. "Should make sure I got a good seat. Can I...?" And she gently raises a hand to touch Req's face, leans in closer.

She blinks, but doesn't move, letting you do whatever.

"--Yeah?"

And she leans in for a kiss, lips gentle and hand warm against her cheek.

!!

She meets you for that eagerly, but keeps it gentle, squeezing your hand.
