108. Plain

[corrinesbell]

That wasn't me.

I dunno what that was but I promise it wasn't me. I'm really sorry if I said something terrible to any of you.

...Especially you, Colette.

Shirley, I think...can I talk to you?

[And there are some apologies that only work in person. Which is why later in the day she'll be going to house 42 and knocking hesitantly on the door]

Well, I've never known any other guy to spend so much time on it.

[Carefully crafted to almost sound like a compliment.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well of course, I'm not like other guys.

[corrinesbell]

Tell me about it.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

All right. I'm good looking, and I have an amazing sense of humor.

Oh, and I can rain the light of Judgment if someone pisses me off.

I wasn't being serious you idiot.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Oh god diaphragm]

You don't have to hit me over it.

[corrinesbell]

I'll be back later.

[you are so frustrating sometimes.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Don't push yourself.

[He'll just... sit this one off. Ow.]

[corrinesbell]

[Home before dinner, but only to get as far as the couch before sitting down again.]

[Zelos eventually did get around to thinking about dinner, and he has the ingredients for Mabo Curry (At Kyo's request.)]

Tired?

[corrinesbell]

It's more like...restricted.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

I guess you went and saw Raine, and she put her foot down, then?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. Something like that. ...She pretty much told me not to do anything.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you'll listen to someone.

Take it easy, I got dinner tonight.

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena just looks at him, after that first sentence. There aren't really any words right now. But she'll try.]

Yeah, guess so.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Right then, back to dinner. Doot doot doot.]

[corrinesbell]

[that stung, Zelos. Don't expect a very talkative dinner partner. Whenever he finishes he'll find Sheena on the sofa still, lying down holding the pillow over her face.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[He figures she's asleep again, so he'll crouch next to the sofa before he pokes her softly.]

Hey, dinner's ready.

[corrinesbell]

[She takes the pillow off her face and gives him another look]

What is it?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Dinner. You not hungry?

[Two can play at this game, dear.]

[corrinesbell]

I know it's dinner. What did you cook?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're gonna give me that face, I'm going to think you're yelling at me first. It's mabo curry, by the way.

[corrinesbell]

Well if you're gonna talk to me like I'm five then I'm gonna make this face.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Five? What's got your undies in a bundle this time?

[corrinesbell]

'At least you listen to somebody.'

[Pillow back over face.]
