97... ever want to

[atouchofstrife]

...I never noticed how quiet it gets around here sometimes. Even when there's explosives going on outside.

I think I'm going to do some training, get out of the house. Barret? Stay away from that fresh tuna in the fridge - it's for the cats tonight.

Mm.

I'm glad to hear that. He's a good man.

That it might fall apart?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

He really is.

He forgot everything yesterday and it hurt. I shouldn't care like this yet.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Don't be saying that.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Well it's the truth.

I'm falling in love with him and it shouldn't happen this fast.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong with that?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Yes.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Sorry.

I just... wish to see you happy. And he deserves to be happy as well, and it looks like you two are doing great together.

After what happened with the three of us, I didn't want this to happen again.

People I care about either end up hurt somehow or leaving me.

... you know what? Go on without me. I'm going to go on my own.

Part of that was my fault. I left because I couldn't watch you leave me. I couldn't watch him leave. Yeah, I messed up but that's just... I guess I am still screwed up in my head.

He's stronger than me, Anita. Gentler and kinder and stronger than I can ever be.

...Fine.

I wouldn't have left you. Him, yes, but not you. In the end, it doesn't matter, I guess.

Hell Cloud, I don't know what to do.

I want to be with someone today, but I think my mood won't let me be decent company.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I guess we just messed it all up.

Yeah, I know.

I just want to keep hitting things until I can't think anymore. Or just do something. I am itching out of my skin from just sitting here. I probably won't be good company as well.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way.

... should we just forget polite sparring and just really go after each other?

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I'll pack a Restore.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

For yourself. You know my policy.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I know. It's for me in case I need it.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

You'll have to help me steer clear of Reeve for a couple of days if I need to heal. He'll get grumpy at me.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I can do that. He can be grumpy at us together then.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

We've already fussed about that, you know. Me fighting.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Did he tell you to not fight so much?

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

He asked me to tell him when I do so he can be ready for it, but he doesn't get that I sometimes need to and don't want anyone there afterwards.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

He might need a little time to figure that out.

Re: private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Yeah.

Come on. Pick a spot so you can beat me up.

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Outside the forest down by the Range. It's out of the way.

private

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

And in the snow. A good workout.

I'll be there in ten.

[ooc: Shall we assume they happily pounded on each other? XD]

private

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Mm.

I'll be there.

[ooc; sure if you want!]
