Characters: Dave Strider (AU) and Jade Harley (AU)[ Jade bolts awake at about one in the morning -- without waking Sora up, she's quick to run from the prefects' cottage to the Black dormitory. To be honest, Black had always been more comforting than the cottage; it was the first place she stayed, and she had a lot of memories there. But right now, she had more pressing issues than nostalgia.
Format: Action
This log is: Closed
Location: Dave's room, Black 2-B
Summary: It's stupid o'clock in the morning and Jade has been dreaming on Prospit so much during the day that she's forgotten all the promises she made Dave when they got battle married. Also she's got insomnia.
Warnings: None
She sneaks into 2-B and passes the sleeping bodies as quietly as she can, making almost no noise in her bare feet. She's shivering a little bit in her nightgown, but she decides to ignore that. Spotting Dave amidst all the forms, she quietly reaches out and pokes him in the shoulder. ]
Dave...are you awake?
[ Poke. Poke poke. ]
no subject
He was still unaccustomed to dreaming on Prospit. It had been awhile since dreaming on Derse and it was a stark difference between even those two. The bright gold buildings were foreign and he found that it was better than his nightmares, but still odd.
Dave shifted a bit as he got poked. Thank god he was a light sleeper. He finally sat up, shoving the comforter away from his head and rubbing his eyes sleepily. Welp. He's awake now.]
no subject
She sat down on the edge of his bed, continuing to poke his shoulder. ]
I'm sorry. I forgot that we were supposed to do things. Do you want to do them now?
no subject
He rubs his shoulder a bit, sleepily swatting at her hand in a rather lazy manner. He missed most of the time. His signing was sloppy and if you weren't paying attention enough, it was also probably hard to tell what letters he was trying to actually sign.]
'What?' [Give him a moment to actually wake up properly.]
no subject
So instead she fumbles around for his PDA and, not finding his, she hands over her own. ]
We were supposed to hang out, and I forgot. I've been sleeping on Prospit too much.
no subject
well i visited a few times
[And by a few times, he actually means very often.]
didnt want to disturb your beauty sleep
but i mean it kind of counts
we were in the same room or whatever
i mean talking with the merry people of prospit is probably more interesting anyways
[Because who wants to talk and get friendly with a kid like Dave? haha...]
no subject
We might want to go on the roof or outside...they might wake up.
[ She pauses. ] I'd want to hang out with you. You're more interesting. I just...
no subject
we could hang out on prospit
i guess im just kind of weirded out at the concept of it again
its been a year for me since ive been on derse
idk
whatever made you happy
i assumed you kept sleeping because you were happy
kind of a dick move to wake you up when something good was happening
[Even if he kind of just sat next to her hoping she'd wake up on her own accord and hang out with him.]
no subject
You're better than Prospit.
[ She looks up at him, waiting for him to lead the way. ]
no subject
He's quiet the entire way up. Well, of course he's quiet. But he doesn't send any texts to her or tries other ways to speak to her until they get to the roof.]
no subject
Well of course she did, she ignored him. She's surprised that he hasn't walked away angrily yet. ]
no subject
shit
i guess i forgot to clean that up
no subject
[ She wonders if it gets wet, or how long it's actually been sitting on the roof in the first place. How often does he come up here? Jade wanders over and pokes at it -- thankfully, it's dry. ]
Let's sit in it. [ She shivers a bit; her pajamas are nothing more than a thin-looking nightgown with some shorts underneath. ] I want to hold your hand...if that's okay.
no subject
i made it yesterday
it was nice out
[He's just staring down at his PDA though. He knows he's implying that he wanted to invite her to sit with him, but than he didn't want to wake her up...
He does lace his fingers with hers, though.]
no subject
[ Jade crawls in after him, curling up so that she can lean against his shoulder. She lets him lace their fingers but doesn't say much otherwise, because she gets the implication and feels pretty horrible about it.
Finally, after a few moments, she speaks again. ] I'm really sorry.
no subject
its ok
its a pretty nice night out
pillow forts were meant to be enjoyed at night anyways
who wants to make one in the day?
bluhhhhh boring
no subject
[ She hesitates before gently placing her free hand over his nervous, drumming fingers. ] Just don't leave, okay? Not until we beat the game and I know you can go home to save the world.
[ She doesn't make any mention of going home herself. ]
no subject
Well, okay. He might have felt a little lonely while Jade was dreaming. Even being on Prospit didn't feel very satisfying. He wasn't all too interested in it, but he had over a year to get over the whole dreaming on Derse thing anyways.
He looked down at their hands. Until they won... What would happen after though?] 'I've been here this long.' [He couldn't promise not leaving though...but he didn't exactly want to leave either, so there's that.]
no subject
But for a moment -- just one -- she decides to confess some of that. ]
I wish you didn't have to go home. Anybody. Sis says she wants to even though she...and Dirk, too. And Jane, and Sora. And Anya. [ Jade's hands clenched a little tighter, but not uncomfortably so. Just noticeably different. ]
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay here, so we can do this every day. But I know you have to go be heroes, and I don't want to let the world down.
no subject
And he didn't even know what would happen if he went back home. Would time have move forwarded? Would it have froze in place? Either way...he thinks he could stay here a little longer. If it were the first, he'd be a Doomed Dave anyways.
And Sis wanting to go...he didn't want Sis to go back home either.] 'There's a lot of time before it'll happen.' [It gives them time to think.]
no subject
She's not really sure what else to say, so she leans in and kisses him on the cheek instead, all very grown up and 14 year old-like. ]
Whatever happens, we can go together.
no subject
He nods a bit, and smiles at her softly.
He'll figure something out. For now, he'll enjoy her company.]
no subject
One day, I want to grow up.
[ It's kind of a random thought, but hey, since they're on the subject of feelings. ] And be an adult. And get married, and get a job....
Maybe I can do that here.
no subject
But if she gets to stay here, she might. As much as this place was annoying, it wasn't all bad.]
'You're already part way there. You got a job, don't you?'
