He had done it anyway. Blue pressed her lips together firmly for a moment as he sang his nasally little song, focusing more on the familiar melody than the strange warmth she felt. She couldn't really help the little smile that followed.

Probably she should have teased him a little. There was another soft giggle.

"...My is on the blink... I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink..." she picked up after him instead, still more concentrated on the sound than the words that were supposed to follow.

"... But I know what you would do..." she ended up whispering before her voice drifted into quiet as well.

The song resonated a bit more strongly than probably either of them would have liked, she realized. Her hold on her phone increased slightly. I wonder should I call you. There was a nervous tightening in her chest as she shifted against her pillow, the sound filling the silence as she moved.

"You've gotten a lot better," Blue chose to say instead of anything else she might have said, trying to sound light hearted.
travelingbelle: (Did you say something?)

And honestly Blue was just touched.

"The only witnesses are very biased parties," the girl rebutted disbelievingly. It wasn't like any of her team or the boys would have told her to shut up. Well, asides from the few times that someone might have actually done so. An awfully embarrassed someone.

If she noticed, Blue wasn't going to make a comment on it. Considering how often they usually talked otherwise, it really had seemed like forever since they had simply chattered. She had been beginning to miss it. That was probably part of why everything seemed so confusing.

"Oh, right, of course," she said with a soft laugh, though it was somewhat cut short by the rumble outside her window. Blue took a breath and kept talking however, more distracted from it and sounding less nervous this time as she spoke.

"I forgot I was talking to a world-class expert in everything."
travelingbelle: (Riiiiight that's a good one)

"Well I know I can count on you for that."

Despite the fact that the rain was still hammering on the window panes and a bright flash was filling the room with light, Blue finally yawned against the phone receiver, finishing with a little, "mm." The hand tangled in her hair eased, and she let her eyes drift closed.

"I'd be worried otherwise."

Though if it was her own fault he stopped, she mused somewhat half-heartedly to herself, then she'd probably lose the privilege of being able to worry about it, wouldn't she?

"I already said as much," she mumbled as the sleepiness began to descend much more heavily.

"... Thank you. For putting up with me."
travelingbelle: (Sigh I guess)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2013-07-09 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
"At least let me apologize for keeping you up."

What she really wanted to apologize for was for being completely unfair, but she had a sleepy suspicion that he wouldn't have let that one fly.
travelingbelle: (green/ i like it near him)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2013-07-09 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Then I'm sorry," she answered for him.

There was a pause, in which there was only the sound of her breathing that was coming slow and even as it should have been. There was no room to doubt that he had in fact helped. For a moment, it was almost as though she had already fallen asleep on him.

"... but I liked talking to you like this," Blue spoke up again slowly.
travelingbelle: (Questioning trust)

"No... there isn't."

The Big Reason was stupid. Stupid and completely valid and actually not that stupid at all. "I don't want things to be weird..." She tried to stifle a smaller yawn, the sleepiness that was kicking in now that she was calmer making it easier to speak her mind. "I don't want to be confusing either..."

There was a soft, almost self-deprecating sigh of a laugh. "I don't know if we're even capable of avoiding it," she stated. They had already slipped back into it so easily, she couldn't picture it taking long for it to happen again unless they actively avoided each other.

She didn't want to do that. She didn't want to hurt him carelessly either.
travelingbelle: (worried contemplation)

It was comforting at least that he seemed to realize the futility of trying Not to talk like they usually did as well. And that he was okay with it. (He was the one that said as much already anyway.)

"... Much better," she admitted. There was still a weird, fluttery feeling in her person, but it was nothing completely awful. The important part was that it was easier for her to breathe. Blue would take bizarrely fluttery over painfully tight any day.
travelingbelle: (You ok bro?)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2013-07-12 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"... You don't have to do that..."
travelingbelle: (It's ok to cry on your shoulder)

[personal profile] travelingbelle 2013-07-12 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Blue bit her lip. If she were being honest, that was exactly what she wanted. She scolded herself, shutting her eyes.

"... All right."
