[there's a novelist with a small duffel and what appears to be a bag of beer and snacks, heading for the chapel.]

[he's in for an unpleasant surprise.]

*reaches into the bag and tosses you a beer, taking one for herself* Cheers to Tatsuha.

[lifts it, grinning] And hoping we won't be far behind.

[godsavethequeenie]

I'll drink to that.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

[drinks~]

...must be nice having the room to yourself?

[godsavethequeenie]

Normally I'd say yeah, but I got really used to having the fucker around.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

You can have another fucker move in. There are plenty.

[godsavethequeenie]

But I liked that fucker.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

[sighs] I know.

[lying down on his brother's bed]

[godsavethequeenie]

Besides, he told me you liked to crash here sometimes, so I think he'd want me to keep the bed open for you.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

It's alright. I'll hang around for awhile, but I probably shouldn't be left alone with you.

[godsavethequeenie]

Huh? And why's that?

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

I can't be trusted.

[godsavethequeenie]

Trusted with what? What are you getting at?

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

[i suck at flirting when i'm upset]

Eh, nevermind. I'm off my game.

[godsavethequeenie]

To be honest, I knew you were getting at, but I was seriously hoping you didn't think trying to hide how upset you were by flirting was going to work.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

...

Had to try.

[godsavethequeenie]

Doesn't work, trust me. I'm not going to pry, because I hate it when people do that to me, but if you want to talk, I'll listen.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

[considers]

I decided tonight to break up with my boyfriend. I wanted to talk to my brother.

[godsavethequeenie]

Shuichi?

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

[nod]

[godsavethequeenie]

I'm not Tatsuha, but I know you and I know Shuichi, so I can understand well enough, if you're fine talking to me instead.

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

[shrug] He's too dependent on me. On everyone, really, but mostly me.

[godsavethequeenie]

So you're doing it for his benefit then? To try and make him more independent?

[write-it-in.livejournal.com]

If he can't perform tonight, yes. If telling him I'd leave gets his spark back, then... maybe I'm enough as I am. But he can't rely on me being there for everything.

[godsavethequeenie]

I'm....not the sort of person who can let myself rely on others for anything, my pride won't allow it. I guess that's to say, I'm the polar opposite of Shuichi.

Do you plan on getting back together with him eventually?
