[ holding a bookcase like it's no big deal. manly Riku is manly. ]

Where do you want this?

Oh?

[ moves suddenly, only to sit down next to Rob. ]

I think I like it here better.

[ startles at the movement, but doesn't scoot away or anything since he knows by now that it's futile. ]

I'd rather be elsewhere.

...

[ can't think of how to reply to that, else it sounds like a question. obviously doesn't want to intrude. ]

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

This is a nice place, though. You're not going to do anything else with it?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

What else is there to do?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Paint it, maybe. Hang some stuff up on your walls.

[ looks around, as if he's plotting something. ]

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs & leans back. ]

I like it white.

Maybe you'll change your mind later, who knows.

[ sits in silence for a moment, then shifts an arm around Rob's shoulders. doesn't pull him over or anything, just. offering a bit of comfort. ]

... living alone isn't so bad. But it does take a while to get used to.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ stiffens, then leans against him hesitantly. likes the warmth. ]

I've been alone before.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Then telling you this was a silly thing for me to do. My bad.

[ sounds highly amused. ... is making fun of himself, clearly. ]

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ smiling? him? --yeah, a little bit. ]

... I never had to get used to it.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ curiosity is piqued. really doesn't want to ask, but. ]

Oh yeah?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Anna was there.

[ in one way or another. but won't say that, of course. ]

Hm.

[ tilts his head back & stares at the ceiling. ]

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

I'm glad, then.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ leans away, but doesn't shrug away the arm away. his turn for a question. ]

What do you do when you're by yourself?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ turns his head towards Rob and blinks. ]

Me?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ ponders long & hard. ]

... you know, I don't really do anything. Maybe catch up with my friends. Eat. Sleep. You know, normal stuff.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ seems to be thinking hard about what Riku said & nods. ]

I see.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ would ask why, but holds himself back. just keeps on talking. ]

I used to do a lot of other things, you know.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ interest piqued. ]

Such as?

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

Save the world, of course.

[advantaged.livejournal.com]

[ tilts his head to the side, giving Rob a small smile. ]

Wanna hear a story?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ looks amused. ]

That again. But alright. Another fairytale?
