What use is a puppet?

[There's a new doorway along this hall, and Cloud's decided to investigate it, in case it's dangerous.

However, there doesn't seem to much danger in a room filled with stationery supplies. He's checking everything, of course, but apart from someone perhaps accidentally stapling their hand, this room won't cause much trauma.

Well, physically, anyway. Because there is no mirror in this room, he hasn't seen the words that appeared on his forehead the moment he stepped into the room.

USELESS
BURDEN]

(ooc: Another version of a truth room/spell, this room causes what a person really thinks about themselves to be written on their forehead, good, bad, whatever. These words may change depending on a person's mood/who they talk to, but they can't be removed, except by leaving the room. And, of course, this post is for threadhopping!)

[asldfkjsdlafk Not the sad face! D:

NO FAIR.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Yes the sad face =C

She's not sure why, but she closes her eyes and leans her head on his chest and wraps her arms around his waist, obscuring the STAY WITH ME that has now appeared.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[He is rendered speechless, and there a SHOCK on his forehead.

But after a moment, it's replaced with RELAXED and he smiles a little, wrapping one arm around her as well, while he reaches up with his free hand to gently pet her hair.]

Sorry about that, Verity.

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Now she's OVEREMOTIONAL.]

You know how I worry. I just latch onto something and...

I'm sorry. [She turns her head a little, just enough to be able to look up at him, a watery smile on her face.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[W-watery smile why?]

You dont have to apologize. I'm just an idiot for making you worry.

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Shakes her head against his chest.]

You're not an idiot. And even if you were... I wouldn't mind. You're my best friend. [DON'T WANT TO RUIN IT.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[...Tilts his head a little, before using his free hand to brush her fringe out of the way to see what's written there. There's a tiny smile then, and CONTENT appears on his own face.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Looks up at him, really not happy that she can't see what's on her own face.]

What is it?

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

It says dont want to ruin it.

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Blushes and hides her face against his chest again, not trusting herself to speak.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[Goes back to petting her hair, still smiling.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[She's almost sure she doesn't want him seeing whatever's on her face now, so she's considering making a break for the door.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[He's still got an arm around her though. Not as easy to escape.

Though, he wouldn't try to stop her if she really wanted to go.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[This is true. It's probably the only thing stopping her. So instead, she's going to take a few deep breaths to try and calm herself down, think a bit more clearly, still firmly pressed against his chest.]

...It said you were content. [There's a bit of surprise in her voice - now that she's thinking clearly, she's a bit confused. What did that mean?]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Is that bad?

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I don't know what you were content with.

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

Everything.

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[That doesn't help her. Does he mean everything as it is now or something else? She lets go of him, instead clutching a little at the front of his shirt.]

What do you mean everything?

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, trying to think of the right thing to say. The words on his forehead probably saying something corny like IT WAS NICE or something.

But Awkward emo boy is awkward and doesn't know how to say that.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[She'll just be standing there silently.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[...Shrugs, AWKWARD and CONFUSED showing up.]

Not sure.

[He's doing that thing where he keeps his thoughts inside to work them out again.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Slowly she looks up at him, NERVOUS and CONFUSED. Then, just as slowly, she reaches up with her left hand and touches him lightly on the cheek.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[...Blink blink. Just, looks down at her, eyebrows slightly raised in SURPRISE, as he waits to see what she does next.]

[keepingoath.livejournal.com]

[Her hand moves around behind his head and she gently pulls him down damn you for being so much taller, closing her eyes and gives him just the lightest of kisses on the corner of his lips.]

[oblivionsecrets.livejournal.com]

[He cant help that he's taller.

...There actually doesn't seem to be much reaction at all at first. But, that's due to shock.

Then his face softens, a small smile appearing on his face.]
