Train Meeting

[awakenerd]

Who: You
When: Day 23 morning
Where: The Lounge

[So you've all been invited via Chain to an "Informal Train-wide Meeting". Rean has a few things to say and then the rest of the post can be discussing things among each other really.]

Ah... Crow--

[He whispers against Crow's lips, finally pushes him back gently, because at this rate... well it's already gone further than he intended.]

I think we've definitely established the attraction is mutual.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He blinks for a confused moment before he manages to reorient himself, takes a deep breath to calm himself down. ]

Yeah... right. Right.

[ He can behave himself, probably. ]

We should definitely get back then.

[ Because if they stay any longer, he's gonna want to pin Rean against the wall and-- ]

[awakenerd]

Yeah.

[He's laughing a little, giddy and turned on and weirdly elated but he can't explain why.]

Yeah, let's get back.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Goddess, he's just going to have to ignore whatever the hell that weird feeling in his chest is when Rean laughs like that. ]

Let's get back.

[ And he opens the door before he resolve crumbles entirely. ]

[awakenerd]

[He almost reaches for Crow's hand, realizes what he's doing, and stuffs his hands in his pockets.]

Thank you.

[bad_crowmance]

Heh. For what?

[ He notices that but won't call Rean out. ]

[awakenerd]

Hm, where to start? Looking after me, I guess.

[bad_crowmance]

Dunno why you're thanking me for that. It's just the right thing to fo for a pal.

[awakenerd]

Doesn't make me less grateful that you're that kind of guy.

[bad_crowmance]

Well then, I'll just take the thanks. I'd hate to be ungrateful~

[awakenerd]

Ha, good. Modesty wouldn't suit you.

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah, I'm not actually any good at it. Probably because I don't see the point.

[awakenerd]

I don't think that's a bad thing, honestly. I've seen what too much modesty looks like.

[bad_crowmance]

Someone once asked me if I could fake being modest and it creeped them out. What have you seen?

[ He's genuinely curious! ]

[awakenerd]

Yeah I can see that. Not that some humility is bad either.

But I was thinking about 80H.

[bad_crowmance]

[ The hilarious thing is, she's the person Crow was just talking about. ]

Is she really that bad about it?

[awakenerd]

She couldn't come up with a single nice thing about herself and stubbornly denied anything I observed, it's frankly worrying.

[bad_crowmance]

Huh. I hadn't realized.

[ Funny how much you don't notice about a person when most of your interactions are purely trying to get into their pants. ]

Maybe she's the kind of person you have to sneak in compliments to, slide it in so she doesn't realize until later.

[awakenerd]

I wouldn't even know how to do that. I don't think she likes me much, but I'm not sure how to make up with her.

[bad_crowmance]

80H is.... really stubborn. It might really just take time and persistence to get through to her.

[awakenerd]

Ohh boy. Thanks for the heads up.

[He's gonna have to grovel for a long time he supposes.]

[bad_crowmance]

There, there.

[ You're getting more hair ruffles. ]

Just keep trying and I'm sure you'll be fine.

[awakenerd]

At least one if us has confidence.

[bad_crowmance]

I have enough to spare! So don't worry, I've got your half covered.

[awakenerd]

Thanks, that makes me feel so much better.

[Sarcasm but he is happy for the friendship all the same.]
