Room 223, Friday Afternoon

Natalie was not intending to leave her room today. Nope. Yesterday had been... a lot of things she didn't really feel like dealing with right now. And the way to not deal was to stay in her room. There was nothing cowardly about it. She just wasn't going to leave. Just for today.

Maybe the weekend.

Unable to really concentrate on any of her school stuff, she took a seat by her keyboard, intent on forcing herself to focus on something. Immersing herself into practice seemed to be a thing for that. And she was sticking to strictly classical pieces.

No pop. And no singing.

"I'm more surprised you think I'd audition for a musical on purpose," she remarked, lightly. "Even if you did sound surprised."
necroslacker: (free bird)

"I don't know, you like music," he said, shaking his head. "Do we really have to analyze this? I feel crappy enough about the assumption already."
whenshewasnice: (Nothing particular.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"We could analyze why you feel crappy about that," she quipped, but shifted a little, draping an arm over him for good measure. "We don't have to."

She didn't want to.
necroslacker: (imagine)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you," he murmured, not really wanting to put his stupidity under a microscope right now. "I'm not up for analyzing tonight."
whenshewasnice: (Far off things.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Fine, let's not analyze," she assured him with a sigh. "We can just do this. No analyzing. And no sex."
necroslacker: (you light up my life)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay," he breathed, nodding and relaxing once again. "It'll feel right soon. I promise."

He just didn't want her thinking he didn't want that ever.
whenshewasnice: (Maybe tomorrow.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good." She curled her hand into his shirt and rested her cheek against his shoulder. "I don't think I'm at a point in my life where I want a platonic love affair."

She may have been mild-mannered for the most part, but still a teenager.
necroslacker: (best of my love)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"I want to do that with you," Sam said quietly, feeling his cheeks heat up slightly at the admission. "I just -- I just want it to feel right all around."
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Innocent mask.)

Natalie sighed, softly. "You are annoyingly smart about it," she said, but didn't mean it in a bad way. It was a desireable quality in a boy his age and she knew that.

Almost idly, she added, "I should have waited for you."
necroslacker: (i will survive)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That first statement made Sam chuckle a bit. It was good to know he could be smart about some things. Maybe he wasn't a lost cause.

"It's okay," he said even if that second statement didn't really need an answer. "I get why you didn't wanna wait. I understand. Any other circumstance, you wouldn't have had to wait, you know. The...want, that's there. It's there."
whenshewasnice: (Brainwork.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
After a pause, Natalie just barely shook her head against his shoulder. "I didn't mean right now."

Would she explain that? Only time would tell.
necroslacker: (you light up my life)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh."

Well yes, now he was confused. He didn't know if she'd elaborate but he couldn't stop himself from asking.

"What'd you mean, then?"
whenshewasnice: (Some time off.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"In general."

Was that helpful? Did she care?

"Well, not that general."
necroslacker: (hurts so good)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"You haven't really known me for that long," Sam pointed out, thinking he understood what she meant. "How could you know to wait?"
whenshewasnice: (Your lips are moving.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie glanced up at him. "Well, I could've waited for someone like you," she replied, with a ghost of an amused look. "But that's not as nice to say."
necroslacker: (you light up my life)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"You really think there's someone else out there like me?" Sam wondered. He thought he was pretty...unique.
whenshewasnice: (Tousled.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
She snorted. "Nice guys who care about wrong reasons for doing things? I've heard they exist, yes."
necroslacker: (stand)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He barely stopped himself from arguing the whole nice thing. The words were almost out of his mouth but he pulled them back this time.

"So they do," he said instead, nodding. "Well. Lucky me that you didn't have to wait too long."
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Find perfection.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Point was that I didn't wait," Natalie replied, wondering to herself how much he'd wanted to argue with 'nice'. "But what's done is done. The future is unknown. And other cliches."
necroslacker: (sound of silence)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I'm here now." He didn't know what else to say so he said that. He was there now and things weren't bad.
whenshewasnice: (Hide in plain sight.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"You are," she agreed. And things were not bad, as much as she still felt a little twitchy. It would take a while to fade, but it would. "You are here."
necroslacker: (sittin' on the dock of the bay)

[personal profile] necroslacker 2012-01-15 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yep. I am."

Those words weren't necessary but they came out anyway. After that, Sam did fall silent and let that lengthen comfortably.
whenshewasnice: (Wish you'd change.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-01-15 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Natalie had no problem with that. She even closed her eyes and just... breathed.

Maybe after a while of that, she'd even relax a little more. She wasn't sure that was going to happen, but she knew he increased her chances of that.

And that was enough.
