So, how many of those people that came a month or so ago ended up staying? It seems like plenty.

It looks like I'm going to have to keep my suit on when I go outside now.

I will always miss him. Engineer used to be the most important person in the world to me.

Used to be?

[He likes the sound of that.]

...

I shouldn't put it that way. It's rude of me. It's difficult for someone to compare to Engineer in the ways he meant to me.

Hm. Right. [There's the slightest hint of disappointment in his voice.]

You sound a little off. Is there something the matter?

[... And to think she hadn't even mentioned the relationship of sorts she had with the Engineer.]

hasstandards: (➸ This is as good as you're gonna do.)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
No. I'm fine.

[Not that he wasn't vaguely aware that she and Engineer had some kind of a relationship, but given how Pyro acted sometimes, it was hard to tell just what that entailed.

He pushes a breath through his nose, the air hitting the communicator. He still isn't sure what to think of that, but he knows he wants to be that most important person to her; however, when he's competing with Engineer, Medic, her pet, probably the dog, bacon, fire, and anyone she adopts as a child, he's fairly certain he's not even on the list.

There's a pause, then a second indistinct noise as another breath leaves him.]

[She knows something is wrong with the way Sniper responds to her. The breathing pattern he had was rather peculiar.]

...

Can you come to my room? I think... there's something.. I... should tell you.

[Another sigh. He's really bad at hiding things from her, and knows it.]

Right. I'll be up in a minute.

[Click. And upstairs he goes, wondering what he did wrong this time.

He knocks on her door when he arrives out of habit, even though she asked him to come up.]

There's no need to knock, you can come in.

[Sitting in bed with the blanket sheet over her, Pyro is holding two large wads of it in her palms as she looks up at the ceiling. It's hard to think how she is supposed to go about admitting previous relationships, especially when that relationship wasn't exactly of a sexual nature despite them being ~together~ it seemed.]

Alan. I don't want you to be mad at me, but I had a boyfriend before, I think.

[He nudged the door closed with the crutch, making his way to the bedside. He remained standing, his brow furrowing.]

Why would I be mad about that? You know I had a girl before you.

hasstandards: (➸ I'll be honest with ya...)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
I'd be concerned if it turned out it was Spy or something, but frankly, I was under the impression you and Engineer were courting. Or had been at some time.

[Which made it all the more difficult for him when he couldn't win a battle for her affections with a guy who wasn't even there anymore.]

No, not Spy. But...yes, and--well... what if Sensei kissed me?

hasstandards: (➸ Cheatin' only gets ya so far.)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
It's not like I've not been kissed before you. And he did seem pretty enamoured with you, from the one conversation I had with him. For a while, I thought that might just be how you showed affection.

[His brow furrowed further. While he was understanding of this, given she was mostly just confirming his suspicions, he still had his doubts of what she thought of him.]

Look, pumpkin. I don't care who ya've been with before or who they were or what you did. All that matters to me is... well, you're my girl now, aren't you?

Sensei always seemed to dislike me so I don't understand his actions. His favorite things to tell me where how fat and stupid I am.

[Scratching her cheek at his wording, she began to flush at the thought of how Sniper viewed her compared to someone like Medic.]

Of course I am!

hasstandards: (➸ Thanks mate.)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
[A look of relief crossed him instantly. There was still tension in his posture, a lingering fear of the possibilities in his mind, but her reassurance was more of a comfort than he could express.

Setting his crutches aside, he slid onto the bed next to her, setting a hand atop one of hers.]


Right, you are. But I think Doc should've had his eyes checked- ya aren't fat or stupid. You speak two languages, know how to cook. Got more education than I do.

I'm not sure about that. I only graduated from high school.

[As for those other two abilities; Sniper didn't have to learn another language because it wasn't required for where he lived. As for cooking, well... she did have to admit she made good food.]

It's because Engie taught me how to make delicious food!

[Squeezing his hand, she looked away in embarrassment. Compliments were strange.]

I didn't even make it that far. Was pulled out to work on the farm. I know a lot about sheep, hunting, and doin' my job, but not much else, I s'ppose.

[He returned the squeeze of her hand, his eyes locking themselves on his fingers wrapped around hers.]

I'm not Truckie. Never gonna be him, but I, um. [He paused, the words getting harder to say.] I want to mean that much to you, pumpkin. Someday.

Who's saying you don't already?

[Leaning her head against his shouder, she started to nuzzle against him affectionately.]

I love you.

hasstandards: (➸ Spot on.)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
[He squeezed her hand again, the attention she gave him reassuring him, putting to rest some of his unspoken fears. He could only put up a stoic front for so long- sometimes, he just needed a sign he hadn't ruined everything yet, needed help battling the doubts that plagued him in unfamiliar situations. He knew he had to adapt, but it wasn't always easy.

He placed a kiss atop her head, rubbing his face in her hair and taking in its texture and scent.]


I love you too, Momo.

[It was still strange to find himself admitting something like that to anyone, even just to her; however, that was definitely the name for it. The undeniable urge to be with her, the way his world fell apart without her there, the fact that it was harder and harder to picture ever going back to the way things were at Sawmill, with her in the mask and the two of them uninvolved... He wanted her in every way, and was driven to have her feel the same way about him.

No, he never was going to be Engineer. He was going to be better- a better teammate, a better lover. Maybe even a better man, at times.]


Hey. Let's do something nice tonight.

[With the kiss placed atop her forehead, Momo did her best to keep cool and laugh shyly. Normally, she woul feel the need to hide her face and whimper.

If Sniper tried to be Engineer she doubted she would feel the same for him. He was fine just the way he was.]

Do something!? What do you want to do?

[Pressing her forehead against his, she nuzzled up against him some more as she waited for a response.]

hasstandards: (➸ G'day.)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
[He returned her affection, keeping his forehead pressed against her own, reveling in the warmth she sent through him through the contact.]

I thought maybe we could go look at the stars. Just the two of us. We'd probably have to get outside the city walls where it's darker. Take a blanket, that sort of thing. We could start a fire if ya get too cold.

But I already have something beautiful in front of me right now.

[Look how sweet she was being.]

[action]

Date: 2012-03-13 01:11 am (UTC)
hasstandards: (➸ No worries.)
From: [personal profile] hasstandards
[He felt his face redden, her reply one he hadn't expected. Even if 'beautiful' had been a term he'd have applied to himself (and it wasn't, as 'handsome' hadn't been, either), he wasn't terribly used to compliments, himself.]

I thought it'd be like a, er. You know. Um. A proper date.

[The moment he started to blush, Pyro let out a little squee.]

A proper date, hm? Does that mean you'll be dressing up?

[Now that would be interesting.]
