- >>"So how long 'till we head out?" Saff asks no-one in particular
- >"An hour. Be sure to dress well before going out, though, it's -20C out."
- >>"Aye aye."
- >She gets up from the table and gestures for you to follow her
- >You do
- >You make sure you're out of earshot of the others
- >>"So...I got the impression you wanted to talk."
- "Yeah, although it's nothing serious- well, okay, that's not right, but my point is that this isn't a 'we need to talk' sort of thing. Except I need to talk to you."
- >She raises an eyebrow, and the corner of her mouth quirks up a bit
- "Okay, so here goes. In the long run, we haven't known each other for very long. But I feel that, despite that...we go together, ya know?"
- >She doubles over laughing
- >>"A-are you quoting Grease?"
- >She has another gigglefit
- >You feel more than a bit awkward
- >>"Listen, I'm sorry, that was just unexpected and sweet. Continue, please?"
- >You nod
- "Right. So...I guess I kind of feel a strong connection to you, and I'm not sure if it's the usual, classic dictionary definition of being in love, but you're pretty and I really like you for...well you."
- >Great, you're being a beta faggot
- >You can still hear *Her* mocking words, a verbal teabagging after ganking you.
- >"You fucking beta faggot"
- >Fuck that noise, you're better than that
- >Saff starts responding, but you hold up a finger
- "That came out pretty fucking pathetically. Basically, I think I might be in love with you, and I know I want to rail you like I was playing Quake 3."
- >You can see her processing all sorts of emotions quietly
- >Fuck, what if she doesn't feel the same?
- >And now you pissed it away trying to prove yourself
- >Oh god oh god oh god
- >You hug her tightly
- "I...I'm sorry, please don't hate me!"
- >God, you're pathetic
- >The two of you stay like that for a bit
- >You feel her body relax, her breathing and heartbeat growing steadier
- >Then she lifts your chin with one finger and looks at you
- >>"I don't hate you, Anon, never have, never will."
- >Her smile means the world to you
- >>"And, for what it's worth, I feel a connection with you too. How was it you put it? I'm not sure if it's the dictionary definition of being in love, but I like you for you. Also, I liked that Quake 3 remark, very clever."
- "Are..are you friendzoning me?"
- >She shrugs
- >>"Are you friendzoning *me*? "
- "I...don't know. I'm not sure if like, a 'traditional' relationship between us would work, but you're special to me."
- >>"And you to me"
- >You look at each other
- >>"This is getting us nowhere, is it"
- "I suppose, but...I dunno, I think I might like nowhere."
- >>"Heh. But seriously, what says we just take it one day at a time, you know?"
- >You nod
- "I can do that."
- >You check your cell phone
- "34 minutes. Maybe we ought to get ready and stuff?"
- >>"Sounds good. Should be plenty of time, provided none of us have another breakdown."
- "Hey!"
- >>"Relax, that was a dig at myself more than anything."
- >You head to your rooms with each respective key-haver, and get dressed for the ball-shrivellingly cold weather, and bring a camera, like any good tourist, as well as a thermos you fill with hot cocoa.
- >Coffee's good for waking you up, and you've built some tolerance to the taste, but cocoa tastes better, and you're mostly going to be a passive observer, so...
- >Plus, Saff isn't a fan of coffee either
- >You head out into the lobby, waiting with the others
- >Their gazes are curious, probing, but they're courteous enough to not pry openly
