No Rose-Colored Glasses

[tastes_of_honey]

I have to remember to see things and people as they are, not as I wish they are or they used to be. I'm aware that I've been particularly blind there on personal matters lately. I guess I'm just as human as anybody else is when it comes to people I care about, but it's past time for me to be more ruthless with myself.

::Of course! Schu's dressed in white suit pants, yellow shirt, white loosened tie, and white shoes. He snuggles back.:: Hi. I'm trying to be less of an angsty doormat. If someone else were behaving as I was, I'd taunt them for it.

"Well, you are a telepathic assassin, my dear. I think that earns you a few angst points to begin with." She pats his side.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::He likes being patted.:: You're a great source of excuses. I have to keep that in mind.

It's been a hard couple of months, emotionally. I have to kick my ass into gear.

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

Well, she does it again, in that case. "It's why I excuse Watanuki his occasional angst bouts, what with being a paranormally gifted orphan."

"Well, not too hard. It's a nice ass, wouldn't want to get it bruised."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

This psychically gifted orphan thanks you.

::smile:: It depends on what smacks it, Yuuko.

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

"Well, bruises still wouldn't suit it, darling."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I agree. They're really unattractive when they're in that brown-yellow stage.

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

"Glad we agree." She kisses his neck lightly and strokes his side.

Mmmm-hmm. ::snuggle snuggle::

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

"So. Do you want to talk about your sorrows some more or do you wish to bottle them all up, like is normally done?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I feel like I've been talking about my sorrows for months now. That's one of the things I'm kicking myself over. I'd rather like to bottle them up, like jam.

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

"A particularly angsty, aggressive kind of jam?" She kisses his cheek.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I'm keeping the aggressiveness. The angsty with its chunks of more concentrated angst can get bottled up. ::nuzzle::

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

She laughs a bit and kisses his lips softly. "Sounds like a good recipe, darling."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::kiss:: I'm full of good things.

::Schu's too emotionally exhausted for sex, but a bit of making out is nice.::

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

She's not in the mood herself. Snuggling and kissing is nice enough, for the moment. She pulls back from the kiss after a while and smiles softly at him. "I.. can't promise you that things will be alright. But I hope they will, Schuldig." A thumb lightly strokes his cheekbone, her eyes more open than usual.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Nobody can promise that. ::He leans into her touch a bit.:: Thanks.

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

She looks at him for a while, just touching his cheek. Then she blinks, her eyes closing just a bit longer than usual, and shifts to rest her head on his shoulder.

He'll die even sooner than the others, probably. Would blow his brains out before he got old and weak. It's such a shame.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::Between her shields and his own promise, Schuldig isn't reading her mind, but he can sense the feelings.::

Don't let me bring you down. I'm fighting to live my life well and have as few regrets as possible.

::pets her hair::

[dimension-bitch.livejournal.com]

She wasn't really hiding it, no. Yuuko leans into his touches. "Hmm, it's alright. I'm 'down' more often than you'd think, either way. But that's a good way to live." She pats his chest a bit.
