[ is standing near the entrance of the starbucks where he had first met nathan, looking strangely compliant & calm as he listens & reacts (as quietly & discreetly as he's capable) to the bustling crowd of the afternoon. it's not so busy as to give him a headache, but busy enough to keep him entertained as he waits for his teammate/friend. ]

. . . not like?

[ reaches to rub the back of his neck. ]

It's uh. Uncomfortable.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ watches him carefully, uncharacteristically careful as he tries to make his point. ]

I sleep bad some sleep. But is more good with team.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ looks confused, head titled a tad. ]

You mean you don't like sleeping alone very often?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Erm. Nein. Is new.

Why didn't you say so in the first place! God, you should tell me these things beforehand, stupid!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ backtracks when he realizes that he doesn't have a solution, rubbing his arm a little self-consciously. ]

Though... I can't really give you any suggestions. I mean, maybe you can live with Aaron for a while or something. Or with Hana...

[ jerks back a little at the reaction as this was one that he hadn't expected to get in this particular scenario, but shakes himself out of it quickly enough. ]

Ehh. . . erm.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ slight pause. ] If okay.

[ abruptly stops. ]

[ shifts in place so he can look up at caleb, almost seeming a little timid and unsure with his next words. ]

You... want me to stay there with you?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ stops to also turn to face nathan, nodding. ]

Ja! Erm. . . yes please? If Nathan want too. Is nice, and I am quiet!

[ snaps out of it, though fidgets a bit as an afterthought. ]

I'll... I'll think about it.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ --then suddenly crosses his arms over his chest, trying to sound as demanding as possible while still a little flustered. ]

But only if you get a really nice place, okay! And something you like the most!

[ nods enthusiastically, though the last condition seems to go right over his head. ]

I get good house! Big house and quiet house!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ peers at for a moment, then nods again, though this time more slowly. ]

Nathan come when Nathan want. I am okay any time.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ stares at him for a moment, almost looking like he's about to say something to that-- and then he turns so they can start walking again. shuffles his feet a bit as he goes along, only able to murmur his next words: ]

But... not too big, okay? Too much space isn't good.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ starts following again, walking a little closer. ]

I buy after I show Nathan. Pick together.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ sighs heavily, cupping the back of his head with his hands. ]

I don't care as long as it isn't like my place.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ blinks, tilting his head down a bit to look at nathan. ]

Nathan house is nice!
