[bluediligence]

i've got a full thermos
only one though, so depends how you feel about sharing

[othellovonryan]

From how you were talking about everything, I believe two full thermoses would be the best course of action.

[bluediligence]

〒▽〒 damn
i really have turned into my brother

2x thermoses it is
want me to come down and lend a hand?

[othellovonryan]

At least you sleep more? [He's seen those eyebags.]

If it will help, you can, but I can take care of it otherwise.

[bluediligence]

the bar for sleeping more than wash-nii is so low it's almost on the floor
we got bodyswapped once and i could barely get OFF the floor

hmm
you take care of that, i'll get the pillowfort ready

[othellovonryan]

He does seem to sleep even less than Leo and that is saying something.

Can do. I'll be there in a few minutes.

[bluediligence]

believe it or not, dee-kun
this is an IMPROVEMENT

♥
see you soon. thank you, beloved

[ SHE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS TURTLE.

ok, phone down, time to pillowfort. maybe clear up some of the paints and bits of Spartan armor scattered around along the way ]

[othellovonryan]

Somehow, I am not surprised. Which is really saying something. [He got the vibes it used to be worse.]

<3

[TAKE TO MAKE GOOD CHOCOLATE WITH MILK AND MELTED CHOCOLATE and probably Mikey recommended amount of cinnamon.]

[But he will be there a few minutes later with muffins and hot chocolate.]

[bluediligence]

[ the things her brother has been through. it's okay though he's got nap buddies now - ]

[ korone's left the door to her room open for him! these kinda vibes, but with more color and way, way, way more soft furnishings. her bed is on the bottom level, and the pillowfort (which she pokes her head out of when she hears the door creak) is up in the alcove ]

Almost done!

[othellovonryan]

Am I safe to climb up or should I let you finish?

[bluediligence]

Safe to climb! C'mon up.

[ She's at the "arranging and rearranging blankets for maximum coziness" stage ]

[othellovonryan]

[Up the ladder he comes, perfectly balancing this tray of muffins and thermos.]

Touch or no touch?

[bluediligence]

Touch is —

[ … hm ]

[ ??? ]

Fine? Mm, I think it's fine. [ she's jittery and nervous, unsure how this is going to go, worried that maybe she shouldn't be burdening him with this after all -

... but today has been a Good Day. Nerves aside, her stress levels are pretty low ]

I'll tap out if I need to, and you can too.

[ she'll come help him with the tray, setting it down on a cute beanbag "coffee table" she's got set up in the fort. ]

[othellovonryan]

I should be fine. I went looking at schools. [He got to the LOOKING stage which is better than the arrested mental screaming of even pondering the idea. So. Better.]

Do you want squish, or lean against me for easy pull away? [Setting down the tray.]

[bluediligence]

Ooh! I wanna hear all about it. [ HER BOY IS GONNA GET TO GO TO A SCHOOL ]

[ eventually. when he's ready. she understands it's a whole complicated Thing for him, given his history. ]

Mmmnnn ... [ Serious consideration ... ... ... ] Lap? I wanna be held, but a position that's easy to move from would be good.

[othellovonryan]

[HE IS GONNA GO TO SCHOOL AND HE IS FULL OF MANY FEELINGS.]

[But they are getting there.] Of course. After. [Her feelings.]

Lap works. [Makes sure everything is set down. Then will take off the battleshell to set to the side before finding a place to settle comfortably. Motioning for her to come over when he's set.]

[bluediligence]

[ a tiny li'l wingpuff ]

After. [ she's Excited for him, ok ]

[ Once he's down and comfy, she beelines straight for the Lap with a very, very quiet chirpy coo. Safe, safe, safe. ]

Hmm. Officially Choco Korone's number one top favorite place in the multiverse.

[othellovonryan]

[He trills softly, kissing the top of her head.]

[Then chirps in embarrassment.]

Menace. [Affectionate and is going to kiss her shoulders in revenge!!!]

[bluediligence]

[ CHIRP CHIRP ]

I speak only the truth. [ She shuffles just enough to press a kiss to his cheek. Another chirp, deeply familiar by now - mate/safe/home. and then another: love. ]

[ Her feelings for Donnie in a nutshell ]

It's so much easier to be brave when I'm with you. [ by his side, in his arms, back to back or five feet away. whatever, wherever. and she's going to need that bravery for all this. ] And it's harder to forget I'm with you when we're like this, y'know? My math's flawless.

[othellovonryan]

[Oh no. He was not ready for this dere. He was ready for serious talk of sadness, NOT THIS ASSAULT OF DERE.]

[His hold tightens on her, pulling her closer as he chirps back. Love. Skymate. Safe safe safe.]

The math is fairly solid for emotions.

[bluediligence]

"Fairly" my butt. It's flawless.

[ Ffffuck. She loves him. ]

[ That's far from a revelation at this point. Of course she loves him. Water is wet, Earth is spherical. Still -

She hugs him as best she can from this position, even if that just means curling her arms over his. Snuggles in close, breathing deep. ]

I really, really love you. Really really really. Yours for life. [ With the mark to prove it: a scar nestled against the crook of her neck, carefully tended and fully healed, given to her with love. ] ... No matter how stupidly melodramatic my life is.

[othellovonryan]

[He squawks.] Three really's! [He just curls up about around her, trilling and chirping against her shoulder.]

That-Choco-

[More chirps because he was not prepared at all.]

[Lovelovelovelove]

[Because the chirps are easier when she's gonna do this.]

[bluediligence]

[ THREE REALLYS ]

[ or five if you count the two preliminary reallys. preliminareallys. ]

[ a quiet coo-y purr kicks up as he curls around her, pitched solidly toward "love/affection/comfort" rather than spice ]

Just. Wanted to say it. [ Make sure he k n o w s beyond any shadow of a doubt. SHE'LL GIVE HIM A MOMENT, THOUGH. ... and herself a moment, too, just quietly chirping back to him. ]

[othellovonryan]

I don't know if I should be feeling happy and loved, or nervous that you felt the need to assure me this much.

[JUST!]

[He knows this will be a hard talk, is he being buttered up?]

[bluediligence]

[ HUGS HIM TIGHTER ]

[ squish ]

Um, well, if it helps - [ she doesn't know if this'll help?? maybe it'll help ]

... It's the fact that I feel safe enough with you that I can even ... try to do this. That's how you make me feel. Like I want to try and try and try, no matter what, no matter how hard it might get.

[ she reaches for one of his hands, pulling it up, pressing his palm over her heart. it's beating hard. ]

Waymarks and anchorpoints. Counterbalances.

That's why I wanted to say it. I'm ... I'm nervous, I'm really nervous, but - ugh, if this talk wasn't this talk I'd go grab the emotionshare potion right now - it's ... it's a giddy kind of feeling? Doki doki.
