[ From one of the many hallways comes the sound of a hollow object smacking into something. Repeatedly. Turns out Asch is strolling along, bouncing a ping pong ball off his forehead, of all things, looking more than a little agitated with something or someone. ]

[ NSFW! ]

Comments

[engel]

[ Twists his arm to get loose. ] Nothing is the matter with me.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Yes there is! Is it what I said?

[engel]

[ Turns to face her, grabbing her by the jacket. ] Why do you try to dismiss what you got through trying to atone? Is it not enough that you have them at all?

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I...

[engel]

[ Lets go of her. ] When you've thought about that long and hard, come home.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry...

[engel]

...tch. [ Damn conflicting emotions. He wants to both comfort her and smack her. But he does neither and just stands there. ]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I always do this... say something stupid that pisses someone off. I don't mean to, I just don't think...

[engel]

[ Suddenly takes a step closer to her, cupping a cheek and brushing the tears away with his thumb. ]

...with time, you'll learn. Your intentions aren't wrong.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I love my friends... all of them. I'm grateful for them and everything they've done for me...

[engel]

[ Pushes his bangs up with another sigh. ]

Then stop saying you don't deserve them. It seems that you think of yourself as having no worth.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Sorry... I sometimes have trouble with that still.

[engel]

You're worth a lot to them and to me.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Thank you...

[engel]

[ Tips her head up, pressing his lips to her forehead. ]

You're much more tolerable when you aren't crying..

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I know... I hate crying like this.

[engel]

[ Chuckles against her skin. ]

Don't you start keeping your emotions in.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I might start if this doesn't stop.

[engel]

You do that and I'm going to sit you both down and have a nice, long chat.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Both?

[engel]

[ Nods. ] You and the other Luke.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Which one?

[engel]

...short-haired, has been to Earth but came from Auldrant, looks like he's been through the wringer too many times.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Oh! I know who you mean!

[engel]

[ Nods. ] I meant to tell you sooner that he is staying with us now.
