Because I'm fashionable like that, a meme.

If I was to be jailed with no chance of escape, how would you want me to be punished, if at all?

He ducks his head, then, dramatically.

He hugs her carefully.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She pouted.

Victor hugged him back softly.

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

He points at his head. "Ruffle, woman. Take your chance."

"It'll be alright," he whispers.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She did.

"But it hurts," she whispered. "How c'n I fix it?"

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

He smiles.

"You already prevented her from doing something again. She won't hurt anyone again, and if she does.." he doesn't need to say this, he thinks. "You'll heal up. We'll all take care of you while you are. It'll be alright. Promise."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "But how does that fix it now? 'Cause it hurts now."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

He closes his eyes tightly. "It doesn't, and I'm so, so sorry. The best I can do is distract you, I fear."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"'S okay." She hugged him a bit tighter. Not too tight, though, because that was painful. "It'll be okay."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. It will be." He'll beat someone up if it won't. "Distractions?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Please."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

"Hmm...Wanna go see Rosie?" There's a silly smile on his face.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Yes!"

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

He grins. "Okay. We'll have to spy on her, though, since it'd be weird if her fiance only showed her someone he knows after a few years. Yeah?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She pouted. "Awwww! Hold on, fiance?"

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

"Uh. I didn't tell you she thinks I'm Fat Charlie?" He looks innocent.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

And she looked shocked. "What? That's...that's not very nice t' do."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

He pouts. "But I really really like her. And she really really likes me too. She wasn't as happy with Fat Charlie as she is with me. As long as she's happy it's okay, right?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"So you're gonna lie t' her f'rever? Plus, what about Fat Charlie? Ain't he sad?"

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

"....he'll get over it. And of course I won't. I'll tell her. Eventually." He seems to shrink a bit.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"But he'll be real sad, huh?" She looked away. "Sorry. Ain't feelin' too well t'day. Sorta sick-ish. So please 'scuse what I say."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

"It's okay. Say what you think. I do it." He smiles. "And I suppose he will be. But, well. He'll find someone else. I think she was just dating him to spite her mom." He wants her approval real bad.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"I think that less folks'll get hurt if'n she knows th' truth an' he knows th' truth."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

"But I don't want her to leave."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"You're runnin' tha' risk either way."

[a-nansi.livejournal.com]

Not if he keeps up the pretense for forever. He'd be willing too. But.."I suppose so...I suppose I will. But not now."
