Ryan's room, a bit later

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:57 am

"I love you," he said. "But I don't know what to do, really. Because I got to see tonight that I can't trust you."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:04 am

"You saw that..." Rachel said "shit. I'm sorry. I....we didn't do anything, I swear. Not anything much."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:13 am

"Not anything much," Ryan repeated incredulously. "Okay, let's hear what's included in 'not anything much.' Because this is just fucking cute after I was the one getting accused of cheating."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 2:50 pm

"We just kissed, mostly." Rachel said "I don't think that there was anything below the waist, even."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:02 pm

"You... You don't think? Okay, Rachel, who is fucking being evasive?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:10 pm

"Look, I was pretty drunk." Rachel said "Hell, I'm still pretty drunk. No, I don't remember anything, but I don't want to find out that I was wrong later on."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:15 pm

Ryan just turned around and started for his bed. "Just go. There literally isn't a word coming out of your mouth that makes me think this is a good idea."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:21 pm

"Ryan, please." Rachel said "Please."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:23 pm

"What," Ryan snapped. "Keep listening to how 'oh, it was wrong, but?'"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:42 pm

"Never mind." Rachel said, starting to tear up "I'll go."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:32 pm

Ryan looked back, then sighed, deflating a little. "What," he sighed, exasperated as he turned and walked back over to her.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:36 pm

"Nothing." Rachel said, wiping her eyes "You don't want me here. I'm leaving."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:55 pm

"Well what the hell do you expect me to do," he sighed. "I mean, seriously, you don't give a shit what might hurt my feelings, and you go trying to pass the blame off on me once I get pissed off."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:23 pm

"I did it to hurt your feelings." Rachel confessed "I thought...yeah, I shouldn't have believed the rumors, but I did. And when you...I wanted to piss you off. I wanted to make you jealous."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:30 pm

"Yeah, well, mission accomplished. Hope you're happy with that."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:37 pm

"I'm not." Rachel said "But now you know that I'm not worth being with. Thats something, anyway."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:46 pm

God damn it... she had to start crying... Gritting his teeth, Ryan reached out and pulled her up against him, pulling her head up so that she couldn't look away from his eyes. "Do you trust me," he demanded in a quiet low voice.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 10:19 pm

"Yes I trust you." Rachel said "Do you trust me? Can you trust me?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 10:20 pm

"I'm asking the questions," he said in an calm voice.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 10:25 pm

"I trust you." Rachel said "That...tonight settled that." she sighed "Should I go?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:21 pm

"No," he said quietly. "First, you should say you're sorry, with no 'buts' attached."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:23 pm

"I'm sorry." Rachel said "I fucked up, and I'm sorry."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:25 pm

"Are you going to do it again?" he asked.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:35 pm

With that, Rachel buried her head against his shoulder and started crying.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:53 pm

Ryan sighed, wrapping his arms around her and stroking her hair. "It's going to be all right," he whispered. "Yes, I'm mad. Probably not getting over this tonight. But we'll work it through."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:55 pm

"Ok." Rachel said "And we can work through anything. We're super heroes, right?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:03 am

"That's what people keep telling me," he said. "Look, you're drunk... let's just let this sit until morning."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:20 am

"Yeah, that is a good idea." Rachel said "I do want to stay. I don't want to let go of you, not right now."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:01 am

Ryan nodded. "Just... go wait for me a minute, I just need to get a sandwich or something out of the fridge. Didn't eat. You want something?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:45 am

"Nah, I'll just crawl into bed. If I eat I'll probably puke."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:45 pm

Ryan didn't take long. From the length of time, he literally opened the fridge, took something he could take three bites of, and came back. He didn't make any rush of it as he changed, slipping into a pair of pajama pants and foregoing the hassle of struggling a shirt over his wings.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:49 pm

Rachel, meanwhile, had just kicked off her shoes and crawled into bed, curling up on the pillows.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 2:12 pm

Ryan climbed in with her, stretching out, then wrapping his wing over her. "You know that I wouldn't have had a problem if you'd just asked me, right?" he asked, stroking her hair idly.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:40 pm

"Seriously?" Rachel asked, sounding more than a little surprised.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:41 pm

"Well, I mean, it's not like you were making out with a guy. I mean... yeah, I might not be bi, but I've been around to know that if you like girls, eventually you're going to want a girl."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:52 pm

"I'll need to think about that." she replied "I mean, I didn't do it just because I wanted to be with a girl, but she is kinda cute...I'll have to think about it." Then, Rachel took a deep breath "Ididkindofkissthebartendertoo."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:17 am

Ryan closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath, not saying anything yet.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:32 am

"IjustdiditonceandIwasn'treallyintoitandhewasn'tagoodkisserandIdidn'tgohomewithhim.I'msorryIfuckedup.
Nootherdudesever,Ipromise."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:47 am

Ryan didn't open his eyes. "Rachel?" he said. "I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that. And we're going to pretend that anything before you got back to the campus with Melody? Just didn't happen. And tomorrow we're going to spend a nice long time getting our relationship un-fucked-up. Okay?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:52 am

"Ok." Rachel said "That sounds good. I can live with that."
