heartsick

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Kira is curled up on this corner of a couch, idly flipping through a fashion magazine, though she normally doesn't act this lazy. Anyone who looks at her closely might notice the paleness of her skin and the shadows under her eyes, but she expertly covered those little signs under her makeup. However, less easy to hide is the way she is wearing one of her brother's larger shirts (not black), whose sleeves come down to cover her hands. If you think she looks ill, you would be pretty close to the mark.]

[That gets a short laugh that shakes Aden a bit, but he doesn't seem to register it at all.]

Yeah, you.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

You really don't have to worry about me, Auntie Piku-pie!

[dawningcoast]

Who said I was worried? Maybe I just wanted to see you.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

You did?

[she seems sort of surprised]

[dawningcoast]

Yes?

[Why so surprised?]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

But you must be so busy. You don't have to bother with me. I'm okay.

[dawningcoast]

I'm not busy. Besides, even if you are from a different time, I want to know you.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

... but you'll know me as I grow up. The baby-me, I mean.

[dawningcoast]

And?

[Aden moves a bit, chewing on her shirt in his sleep.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

And... and maybe it's better if you don't bother with me.

[dawningcoast]

I think I can handle two Kiras.

[Makes a gesture for her to sit closer.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

But you don't have to.

[she's like her Daddy in more ways than just looks]

[dawningcoast]

[She's caught on to that.]

But I want to. You're still family, even if you're from my future.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

... Daddy said you were lots different when you were... younger. I mean, in the now-time.

[dawningcoast]

[She looks a little confused at that.]

The time we're in now? When I was a teenager?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Daddy told me once that you didn't like to know... uhm. Future things.

[dawningcoast]

Oh. I didn't. And the younger me doesn't.

[She looks down at Aden, brushing his hair back gently.]

I've never liked to think I couldn't change my future.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

But what's bad about that? Shouldn't you be happy to know that you'll be happy in the future? I'd like to know if I was still fabulous when I'm old and wrinkly.

[dawningcoast]

Hey, I just didn't want to think I'd be stuck in a set idea. The younger me... She doesn't want to think about getting that close to someone.

[Gestures to Aden.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

But Aden is so cute! How could anyone not like him?

[her best friiiiiend ;;]

[dawningcoast]

She's never met him, so I don't think you could say she doesn't like him. But she doesn't want to be a mother, and she doesn't want to imagine her life like this.

[Snort.]

Especially with Red.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Well... Uncle Red is kind of creepy.

[dawningcoast]

[Well that makes her grin.]

Trust me, I know.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

But he's creepy.

[dawningcoast]

I like that about him.

[Obvious statement, isn't it?]
