So uh... I kinda sorta know what happened, only not really.

Anyone wanna fill me in?

[Katina... doesn't touch her drink for the moment.]

...that was some pretty crazy shit out there, huh?

[He nods, not hesitating with his own drink.]

It seems like the stakes are higher recently.

...hopefully that means the finish line is in sight.

Hopefully. Just so long as we don't screw it up along the way.

With everyone we've got here? I think all the screw-ups we've had so far have made most of us strong enough...

True enough. Learn from the past, right?

Date: 2010-10-16 02:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com
Yeah...

I've... been paying attention to what other people have done here, yeah.

Stuff about... being honest with your feelings... and not letting life pass you by.

[She takes a calming breath and steadies her gaze a little.]

So I'm gonna do just that.

[Things were clicking together in Viral's head, but not quite fast enough.]

...What are you gettin' at?

Date: 2010-10-16 03:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com
[That's as much as she could hope for.]

Viral... we're friends right now. But...

[She fidgets, but doesn't break her gaze.]

This isn't a love confession, because I don't want to go running ahead of myself no matter how inspired by all the runts I am, but... but for a while now, I think, I've... wanted to think of you as... as more than just a drinking buddy, as something... more than a friend.

[She keeps going despite looking pretty damned flustered, because an interruption would probably shut down her whole rant right now.]

I don't need an answer right now or anything but... but I want to know how you feel too...

[And then she tops it all off by chugging most of her beer.]

....

[Viral's brain apparently flat-lines for a moment. He sits frozen, staring at Katina and her sudden - to him - outburst. When his thought process finally kicked back in, Viral knew he had to say something, even though he had no idea what to say.]

Uh. That... uh.

[How did he feel about Katina, anyway? Viral ignored his first instinct to avoid the question... now was not the time to deflect.]

I'd... be okay with that.

From: [identity profile] grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com
[The first part of his response is... pretty much expected.

Then he says that he's okay with it and she nearly chokes on her beer.]

You...

[No, asking if he means it would sound stupid and kinda degrading maybe. Um...]

...didn't... didn't expect it to be that easy.

Did you want me to play hard to get? ...You just caught me off guard.

Date: 2010-10-16 03:41 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com
...sorry. I uh, I'm not too good at this sorta thing.

[Despite herself, an embarrassed smile slips through.]

Date: 2010-10-16 03:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mr-catshark.livejournal.com
[Viral gives a small smile in return.]

In case you didn't notice, neither am I. I guess we'll figure it out eventually.

Date: 2010-10-16 03:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com
[She leans her head on her hand.]

Yeah... well we're gonna have plenty of time for that, since I'm not lettin' the world end after I've finally gotten this out.

Date: 2010-10-16 04:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mr-catshark.livejournal.com
Heh. As good a reason as any.

[She finishes off her beer.]

...Alex better not be the first one to hear about this though.
