life and its complications.

[It is a laundry day in someone else's mind.

He took extra steps to leave her alone to her task. She has quite a task ahead of her, and Nigel would only be in the way. Thus, he kept to cat naps, to shifting between waking and sleeping states.

Eventually, his throat demands a trip, and he emerges from his room with the intent to go to the kitchen. An intent that cuts short inches from his destination, when he catches sight of white-gold in the laundry room. Of skin he shouldn't be catching, a floral shape etched against the pale. White with a blue edge. Maybe. It's hard to tell with his sight.

Nigel halts, caught in an emotion unnamed. And as with all his awkward steps, he begins with words.]


A tattoo?

[ Aw, no more touching. She releases his arm and spins to walk backward in order to face him. ]

Well, then, neither of us should make each other sad, right?

[ She stops for a beat, in order to reach to touch his shoulder. ]

Then don't promise me. Just don't become scared of me. I want to stay by you
purificatio: (simple.)

[ She squeezes his hand and gives a playful smile. ]

Of course. But I notice you didn't agree to my terms.

[ Her expression falls, though she doesn't know it. She lets him lessens the hold, and withdraws her hand. ]

Apologies, then. I don't mean to trap you.
purificatio: (steps.)

[ She watches him, silent, something churning behind her eyes. ]

Come home. We can talk there.

[ She leans in and bumps him with her shoulder. ]
purificatio: (fade.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-03 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ The name draws her back; makes her blink up with large eyes. She has an urge to touch him suddenly, and it makes her takes a step back--to give him room. ]

...Okay.

[ He can take his minutes as they return back. ]

[ It is a silent short walk back, and she remains the same as he unlocks the door. They shift inside and she pauses in the living room.

Cocks her head to look at him. ]
purificatio: (new.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-03 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Here, she cannot help it. She closes the distance between them and slips her arms around his waist. ]

...Hi.
purificatio: (steps.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-03 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ She squeezes closer to him. There is something wrong with this scenario. ]

I enjoyed the time spent. What's wrong, Nigel?
purificatio: (speech.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-03 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ She retreats from him, keeping her hands on his arms, and tries to draw him to sit on the couch. ]

...But what happened? What changed?
purificatio: (steps.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-03 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a desperation growing in her. She doesn't know its name. ]

It's me.

[ It's small, those words, and she hears it. She stands in front of him, wanting to touch his hair. Inside, inside the sweatshirt sleeves, her fists ball, fighting something she doesn't know. ]

Talk to me.
