Room 227, Sunday Afternoon

[whenshewasnice]

While Natalie was pretty sure there was weirdness afoot on the island, she hadn't bothered to even pay enough attention to figure out what it was. Fandom was wacky. She was content just knowing that.

Besides, finals week was coming up. This meant she was spending this Sunday going through her notes and checking everything was in order. There were a few textbooks and notebooks strewn around her on the bed, though there was more order to it than it might have seemed. (Of course there was order. This was Natalie.) Currently, her attention was on her American History notes.

It was her least favourite subject this time, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to be doing her best in the final.

Comments

"And have you seen all her movies to really judge?" Sam wondered, sounding amused now.

[whenshewasnice]

"I've seen enough," Natalie replied. "Not my kind of romance."

[necroslacker]

"What's your kind of romance?" Sam wondered. "I didn't even know you had a kind."

[whenshewasnice]

"Realer than that," she said, after pausing to consider it. Of course she'd treat it like a serious question. "Less obviously chick flick like."

[necroslacker]

"Movies exaggerate everything though," Sam pointed out, shrugging. "I don't think they're meant to give us life lessons."

[whenshewasnice]

"No but some movies are too obvious about what they're doing," Natalie pointed out in turn. "I don't like it when movies are obviously trying to make me cry and, I don't know, crave chocolate and a boyfriend or something."

[necroslacker]

"Never craved a boyfriend?" Sam asked, pressing his cheek against her shoulder and sighing. "How sad."

[whenshewasnice]

"I'm my own person." Who lived her life telling herself she hadn't lost a part of herself when her childhood best friend moved away, while feeling like she had. "A boyfriend is nice but mandatory."

[necroslacker]

"I know you are," he sighed, shaking his head and letting it go. "I'm just teasing you."

And he let pretty much the whole line of teasing drop when he went quiet.

[whenshewasnice]

"I know." She'd just failed at tones. Nothing new there. She turned her head to kiss his cheek. "I've craved you enough times, but that's different."

[necroslacker]

"You don't have to explain," he murmured quietly. "I understand. It is different. I've craved you too."

[whenshewasnice]

"Mmhmm." She nodded. "Part of the reason we chose to live together, I'm sure, no matter how small."

[necroslacker]

"Yep," Sam agreed with a little nod. "One of the many."

He sighed and closed his eyes.

"Good decision."

[whenshewasnice]

"Good decision," Natalie agreed. Even if it had probably made this particular day worse for them, it was still a decision she did not regret one bit.

She rested her head against his again, and closed her eyes.

[necroslacker]

Sam was pretty tired from this conversation mentally so he didn't say anything after that. He just stayed where he was, holding her close to him and feeling her against him.

It wouldn't be that much longer before he had to leave and he was going to soak everything about her up now.

That was a good decision too.
