Pretty much! Once I figured out why he was bein' a dick I calmed down a lot.

It's a great view, right?

It's wonderful.

[reaching for her hand 'x'!!]

[ taking his, giving it a reassuring squeeze ]

Did you want to have a seat outside?

Yeah. I'd like that.

[countersqueeze, then opening the door on his side and climbing out.]

[ popping the trunk and grabbing a book and a couple of blankets, offering him one. ]

I'm not sure how illness effects work, but let's not take chances.

Yeaaah, probably for the best.

[wraps himself up in blanket cooperatively.]

[ picking a spot and smoothing the other blanket out on the sand.

When she takes a seat, she reaches up for him to join her ]

[he takes her hand and settles as well, carefully, then leans against her.]

[ warm! She huddles close ]

I wanted to thank you. For a lot of things. But also to reiterate that I am taking your feelings seriously.

...Thanks. It means a lot, to know you are.

And in putting myself in the opposite position of a confession... I have a greater appreciation for what you said.

Oh, did you tell him?

[ Gosh, he's really sharp. Glances up to get a better read of him, before answering: ]

Yes.

[earnestly excited for her?]

How did it go? Is it okay if I ask?

[ Blinking as she's trying to process his reaction. Why was she so worried he'd be troubled by it?? ]

He accepted my confession with a piano piece.

[he has the capacity for jealousy but he hasn't ever thought he'd get to keep her for himself, so,]

Whaaaat, that's super cute!

[ Shoves her face in his chest, turning red ]

I had to figure out how to search for the song by melody to figure out the title. It was... I just... I was fully prepared to be in the background, because Izanagi is here and...

Then it didn't happen.

[petting her hair gently]

You're more important to people than you know. I'm glad he returns your feelings.

[ clings tighter ]

Please don't think of yourself as a replacement or less important in my eyes.

[it's okay if he is though??? like it'd feel kinda bad but he can live with that

that is not the reaction she wants tho.]

...Okay. I'll be careful not to think like that.

[ No, it isn't the reaction she wants. She wriggles up to get nose to nose with him. ]

I'm serious.

[help]

I know you are. And... you probably like us for different reasons, right? So I don't gotta get insecure or anything.

[ Even though she hesitates at that, she's still internally screaming, unable to calm down or sit down ]

Well. Yes. But I understand that even if one understands that rationally, it's all too easy to feel like it isn't true...

...Yeah. That part might be hard. But I'm really happy for you, so it's worth it.
