requiemed | pc catchall for ray (selfimmolates)

We're definitely going to waste time on a curse next week.

[The loudest sigh, but then:]

...Can I ask what power you picked?

[he's quiet for a long while, hints of reluctance flickering through his expression.]

Let me preface this with saying that I didn't use it this week.

[She nods.]

Noted.

... Hopelessly Devoted.

[he prays this won't be a mistake.]

It's between you and me, promise.

[She's curious, though, even if she keeps her voice gentle.]

You didn't use it this week, but - have you used it before? You don't need to answer if you don't want to.

Not yet. I've been saving it just... in case.

What's yours?

Edited 2019-03-03 04:50 (UTC)

Same as yours, but I'm trying to see if I change it. I don't think it's very useful.

Depends on how you use it. I've decided to keep it in case I ever need it to defend myself on Thursday night.

[A pause, and a small laugh follows.]

Yeah, I guess you would think to do that. [...] It's a good idea, even if I hope it doesn't come to that.

I got the idea from Shiki's Blame Game. I'm hoping the same.

You probably would have thought of the idea on your own eventually.

[A beat, and:]

If we're ever staying together and I wake up and you're not there, I'm going to be pissed.

Heh. Thanks—likewise.

[A weak smile, despite herself.]

Pact to not be really stupid, then, right?

I can agree to that.

[She gives a nod. It'd be relieved if she thought there was actually any chance of him being that reckless in the first place.]

Glad we've got that worked out, at least.

[yeah, ray did not have any plans of being stupid.]

... By the way, have you met any other Love followers?

[She shakes her head.]

I might have met them, but I don't know who they are. Why?

... I know a few. If you ever run into any, don't drop my name—just as a precaution. Nothing personal against them.

[She gives him a nod.]

Right. You still don't want people to guess you're on this faction, I remember.

Yeah. Things might change in the future, but for now, I don't know them well enough that I want to tell them my alignment.

Okay.

[...]

Thanks for trusting me enough to tell me.

[he looks away awkwardly. this is a little too mushy for him to handle.]

... You're welcome. Likewise.

[From the smile that spreads out over her face, it might seem like she’s about to say something teasing... But instead, she just reaches out to ruffle his hair.]

[hey!! :/ ]
