Thirty-Fourth Keychain-[Action]

[This is Roxas. This is Roxas running through the village in his boxer-shorts only thanks to Riku. Yes, this one is oh-so-affected, somebody please tell him to put his clothes back on?]

This sucks. So much.

...!!

[perplexme]

...what? I thought we were friends by now, at least.

[Action]

[perplexme]

...what happened?

Well...I mean the experiment probably ruined it, huh?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

I-it's not that, I just...! I wanted to be friends, but I didn't know if you....

[Action]

[perplexme]

Almost a year's worth, and they don't get any less surprising.

[perplexme]

...[tilts his head a little] If I...?

Obviously, though I think Edward's probably more upset about it then I am. But it's kind of hard to have a wedding during an experiment.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Do you even want the wedding still?

[Action]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

[yes.] I don't know.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

...Wanted to be.

[perplexme]

Why wouldn't I want that?

[Action]

[perplexme]

How about giving me a real answer, Bella?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

W-well, I mean, with everything that happened, a-and....

It's just... hard to imagine.

[But...then she has to admit she wants it too, and Edward will probably hear her.]

...Maybe a little?

[perplexme]

I know, maybe. But we promised we'd see each other again, right?

[Action]

[perplexme]

I'll take that as a yes. I've started figuring out how to decode Bella-speak.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

We did. And I'm so glad that we did! But, I just... I never thought you'd actually like me, especially after all the trouble you went through.

[Action]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Don't let Edward know I said that. Don't even think about it in front of him.

[Wait...is she embarrassed about admitting it?]

[Action]

Being able to adapt to surprises is a good skill to have.

[perplexme]

You don't give yourself enough credit.

[Action]

[perplexme]

...what, you don't want him to know you actually love the idea?

[Action]

[perplexme]

I suppose it can be. I'm used to it enough.

[Action]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say I love it. I still don't like the idea of a wedding so much. Spending my life with him, fine. Wedding...not so much.

[Action]

[perplexme]

So tell him that?

[Action]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

I have. But he wants the wedding, and I want something else. This is kind of like a trade.
