[ it had been one of those days for alyssa, the ones that rendered her unable to attend classes for more than a few hours-- the ones that had nathan running to her as quickly as possible. thankfully her health and mood seemed to improve throughout the afternoon, giving nathan time to decide whether or not to call albert. when she seemed fine in less time than usual he decided against it, instead suggesting some things for them to do to pass the time. of course, a disney film reigned supreme.

when their movie came to a close nathan turned to look down at alyssa, the girl curled up with her head on his lap, dozing off into what seemed to be a peaceful sleep. he didn't take any time in picking her up gently and moving towards his room, laying her down on top of his bed before grabbing a blanket and putting it over her small body. smiles down at her and brushes a hand against her hair, shutting the door half-way when he makes it back into the living room to start picking up the steadily growing mess that had accumulated throughout the hours of her stay. ]

[ exhales through his nose & shakes his head. ]

Life has meaning again.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

Then I guess that means I'm special to you, right?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't verbally respond, instead looking down at her with a bit of a d'uh expression. ]

[ laughs at that, lifting up enough to give him a big kiss on his nose. rolls off the couch afterward, crawling around on the ground to look around for her fuzzball. peers under the table, finding her there. ]

Fifi! Come out and play! Anthony's not mad at you!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ immediately draws up both legs onto the couch, scooting himself into the corner as he makes himself as small as possible. peers over his shoulder in her general direction. ]

No, shoo!

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't hear him, too busy coaxing the kitten to come off of one of the chairs. meows a few times and nabs her when she responds, standing up and trotting back over to anthony. holds her up. ]

Ta-da~!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ just shrinks back a bit more. ]

. . . Cats. And me. Not friends.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ looks confused. ]

You don't like them?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shakes head minutely. ]

Opposite phenomena.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

Oh... okay.

[ gently puts the kitten down. it just makes a hissing noise at anthony before running off into nathan's room again. ]

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ watches it leave, eyes still trained on nathan's door when he speaks. ]

See?

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

Aw, and I was so excited to show Fifi to you, too...

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ unwinds slowly. ]

She and I never would have worked, anyway.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ smiles slowly, taking a few steps forward so that she can sit on his lap when he finally unwinds fully. ]

You never know until you try.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shifts a bit. ]

It was predestined.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ rests her head on his shoulder. ]

Poor baby~

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ pats her back. ]

I'll console myself with a smoothie later.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ closes her eyes, snuggling in closer. ]

You should just stay here with me.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ slowly loops his arms around her & pats her back. ]

Cats are territorial. I'll just visit again.

[ shoulders drop a little, almost sounding disappointed. ]

Okay...

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ lifts a hand when she recovers, raising her pinky finger up. ]

Promise?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ hooks their pinkies together. ]

Cross my heart, hope to die. [ pauses, then adds: ] Give up Gundam for a. . . day.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks at him. ]

Oh my, that's a very long time for you.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ looks a bit pained. ]

My resolve.

[healingmajor.livejournal.com]

[ takes his hand into both of hers, giving him a consoling pat. ]

It's okay, you'll survive.
