Not the Way It Should Be

[tastes_of_honey]

::There's a comfy couch out in the middle of the Nexus, and Schuldig's sitting there smoking on it. A mysterious couch in the middle of nowhere is so him he has to use it.::

::He's looking inward, not outward, and stubbing out his finished cigarettes in the big mouth of the goofy frog ashtray he has perched on one couch arm. If he's smoking, there are generally three possibilities:
1] He's with a smoker.
2] He's annoying a non-smoker.
3] He's stressed.

There's nobody sitting with him.::

"...So. Hi."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::eyes you:: Hi. I have a gun with me, though it doesn't seem to do much permanent good against you. Gonna play nice?

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I've cooled down a lot."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Hope it lasts. Nagi's still bruised up. ::smoke:: Brad's gotten all complicated on me because of this whole war shit. I'm blaming you. Wanna sit?

[man-of-means.livejournal.com]

"If I'm to blame, I guess so."

*sits*

((Let me know if this is a good time for Aya to come by and try to feed him. Or even Asuka, if it calls for less coddling.))

((Aya can coddle and feed if she likes. To my amusement, I had this Brad thing in mind even before you started talking about him last night.))

::There are several obscene comments Schuldig could make, but you're probably ahead of him already on those anyway.:: Hey, Kaa, we're still alive. It's a kick, huh?

::strokes your head::

::Love is a big happy snake on your belly. Schuldig smiles a bit, unable to help himself. This is the kind of thing he comes to Nexus for, Brad.:: It's good to be able to sit out here in the open again. Lying low sucks.

[dream-departed.livejournal.com]

Aya must have come to the Nexus directly from school. She is still wearing her uniform and has her backpack with her.

"Schuldig?" Worry. He doesn't look right. "Do you mind if I sit down?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Don't mind at all. I'll try to smoke downwind. Nice weather the Nexus is having, ja?

[dream-departed.livejournal.com]

She sits close to him.

"The weather in the Nexus has been the same since I've been here.

"Would you like some cookies? I brought some for lunch."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Then it's still nice. ::smile::

I would never turn down your cookies, Aya-chan.

"..."

"Whose ass do I need to kick?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Nobody's. It's not even Brad being bad, just... he's jealous of you and Farf here and hates feeling that way. He feels like he's not "providing" well enough for me and hates feeling that way too. The seduction he put on for me this morning...! He had it all going on: the pushed up sleeves, undone collar, loosened tie, rumpled hair... mmm. Drool. He went all out in the doing too....

But when the most certain guy in the world starts feeling reluctantly uncertain and not enough, it feels weird for me, even just from the small stuff I can pick up from his multi-time-stamped mind. ::smoke::

He was amused by the thing with the tank, though (http://tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com/22209.html), and didn't mind me messing with the guy's head about it all.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Glad he's not pissed about the tank. Think he'll get over the rest of it?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I dunno. He's still getting used to the idea that he can't really stop me from coming here, that I'm getting some family feeling here I need that he can't give me, and that having access to the Nexus already saved my life once. I think I'm gonna have to work on him.

::Is there room for one more on that couch, pretty?::

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::smiles::

::Always.:: ::pats the couch::

[cursed-bird.livejournal.com]

::smiles, and sits carefully::

::Oracle?::

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::Yeah, he's very jealous of you and Nagi and feeling a little bit inadequate and hating and denying the whole thing. Gave me some mindblowing sex because of it, though.::
