Where: PLACES
What: Some coma'd assholes not being in comas anymore

[In a certain Sparkly apartment, a sleeping tinydemon blinks awake slowly, staring at his ceiling with some amount of consternation.]

[AND MEANWHILE, in an manner comically similar to his first foray into the afterlife, a merpire stumbles rather ungracefully out of Pi-Lambda, hand braced against a wall for support and dripping wet from head to toe. He looks entirely put out, but... he at least has clothes on this time......]

How many goddamned times...

... No.

Had you slit my throat just now, you would still have been well within your rights.

...no. I understand nothing.

[...

Resumes his slow approach, reaching for one of her wrists]

[ Tense, but letting him take it, face buried against her knees. ]

[Not for long, because he uses that grip to pull her up... and into a tight embrace.]

[ Resists only a little, tense-- but eventually she settles in against him, more because she can't move otherwise than out of any real comfort. ]

[He holds her close, undeterred, and speaks barely above a whisper.]

One of the only things I know for certain anymore is that I love you.

Beyond that, little else matters to me.

[ goes entirely limp in his grip, hiding her face against his shoulder. ]

... how... how can I be certain?

Why else would I still bother to be here at all, if not for you?

[ Quiet, for a long moment, gills pulsing slowly. Her fingers curl against his hand. ]

... I hate that this is what we have become. Once, we were so strong. Once, I was so confident.

I love you. I love you, please forgive me. I am nothing but a senile old fool.

If you are truly a fool, then we are at least well matched.

[He doesn't let go, simply twisting his hand to tangle his fingers with hers.]

Would you look at me?

[ ...lifts her head, frowning. ]

[And this is the part where kissing happens.]

[ ...ah

s... slowly kissing him back ]

[Yes, good. Okay.

Maybe. Maybe for once I have prevented everything from being ruined forever rather than doing just the opposite. MAYBE.]

[ maybe!! She pulls back after a moment, ducking her head again. ]

Why you would still want me, after the distress I have caused you, is beyond me.

[Coming a hand into her hair]

I could turn that very same question on you. And yet, here you remain.

Perhaps I am simply too stupid for my own good.

... Perhaps.

I am selfishly grateful for that fact.

...

[ leans her head back against his shoulder again .-. ]

...I am sorry.

[As if you could honestly owe him an apology for anything.

... Still. You never seem to listen to that reasoning, either, so instead;]

You are forgiven.

[ ...wraps her arms around him

you are finally learning How to Wife ]

[And it only took you punching the shit out of me a little.]

[ you should thank spider. ]

[No, he is still the opposite of helping.

He lets out a long sigh, finally, and relaxes against her.]
