RL with Ken

[redlikecrimson]

[Honestly he's not sure what to make of the gift basket he got. He's not even sure how he got it. It shouldn't be possible and yet.

No, it's definitely here.

So Aya sighs and takes it down the hall where he knocks on Ken's door. He's still in shock and has no words. And as soon as he has permission to enter the room, he walks in and sets the basket down in front of Ken.

There...is no explanation for this. It's better to just...show him.]

To be honest, I really didn't. I was convinced I didn't deserve anything that good.

[A pause.] I'm still wondering if I do.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

I think that... after everything that's happened in our lives, we deserve something good.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

I guess this is our something then.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Then we better not mess it up.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a soft laugh.] You're right.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Oh ho. I like hearing that from you. Remind me to write the date down when we get back.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

Mm. Very funny. [But he's in too good a mood to let the smile fade.]

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

... so what now?

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'm a touch out of practice.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

You and me both. The last 'relationship' I was in wasn't really a... healthy one. I'm pretty sure it's not like it is in the movies.That's just cheesy.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

The last one I was in ended with my girlfriend thinking I died in a house explosion. We're both going to have to figure this out, I guess.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Well, is there anything you want to do?

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[He falls silent, thinking about that. Really, he could think of some things he'd like to do. It's just a matter of figuring out what Ken would like to do as well.]

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

... wait. How long has it been since....

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[That's...a good question. And one Ken deserves an answer to.]

Over eight years.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

... wow.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[Aya looks away, slightly flustered about that. But it's the truth of the matter.]

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Well... we'll just have to muddle through. Still, if there's anything you... want.. just tell me.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

You should tell me when you want something too, you know.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[He looks over at him again, giving him a smile.]

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

[He just can't help but smile back.]

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

So are you cooking again tonight? Or would you like me to make something?

[Ken can make more things than he can but he can manage well enough too.]

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Up to you. I'm easy.



Well, not really. You know what I mean.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[Aya pauses then smiles at him.]

How about we see how you're feeling when we get back and go from there?
