spacing out on the roof... as you do.

[Espio is sat on the roof again. The shiny curvaceous surface provides absolutely no obstacle to his climbing ability, and - as only a handful of cadets can actually reach him up here - it makes a nice quiet spot to sit and think.

Or, in this case, stare into space while holding a Rayquaza toy.

To say Espio is rather bewildered is a bit of an understatement, but at least it makes a change from his usual cranky self? Probably needs to be snapped out of it, though.]

Nothing bad, okay? So you can relax.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

...All right.

[Relaxing, not so much, but Tobias does lose the awkwardness.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

[]

You told me you wanted to be more than just friends. Right?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Right. And you said you weren't interested.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[]

Can I change my mind?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[That... was certainly not what Tobias expected. He simply blinks at Espio in surprise for a minute or two, then smiles brightly.]

Of course.

You got guts asking me, though!

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

It's thanks to you and Dad and Mom.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[]

Thanks!

I guess I can't really say you're a little brother anymore, though. Feels almost like I just broke up the "family."

Maybe you should go back to sleep. You sound tired.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

That's because I was out most of the night and then couldn't sleep. I can deal with it, though, I'll just have to put up with being sleepy through the day.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

It's early, though. It's not like I'll tell anyone.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I guess... but I don't wanna waste my day.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

What if I promise to wake you up after a couple hours? Then you won't miss anything.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Only if you save me some breakfast.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Promise!

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Well... fine then. I'll get some more sleep, if I can.

[]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

...What's wrong?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[]

N-nothing!

[]

Goodnight, I guess.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Sleep well. [Have another bright smile.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[]

Oi. Don't I get a hug or something? Considering...

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[That gets a blink, then Tobias smiles a bit wider and walks over, pulling the chameleon into a warm hug.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[THAT'S very unexpected, but gets a somewhat tighter squeeze this time. Look how happy he is just with a hug, Espio!]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Ack!

[]

Alright, alright! I'd better get some sleep before I fall over or something...
