come on over, roll on over, I just need to feel you breathe--

[With a loud whump of someone not very light-weight crashing into a bed, it's apparent that... someone just a) fell through the ceiling and b) is very disorientated. Wasn't he just -- Was the exam just a dream? No, it... It was real, but how did he end up in a bed?

On closer inspection, hey, this isn't his room and this pillow smells distinctly nice and feminine and he's pretty sure he's never smelled like this in his life. In fact, only one person smells like this --]


(ooc: for magicwishing because lol LOOK WHO GOT A CANON UPDATE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE EXAM making everything more awkward, it's what I do 8Db)

[She wasn't expecting anyone to be in her room, which is why she's still wrapped in a towel when she pushes the door open. She forgot to bring clothes with her when she went to shower.

...stares.]

Terra?

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

[If it weren't for what he just went through before arriving here, he would be a bit more flustered at Aqua only being in a towel. He did shift his gaze away though, turning his head entirely and rolling to get off the bed. No, it hadn't been a dream, he's just... back in this place.]

You.. passed it. Congratulations, Aqua.. [Now how can he get out of here without passing her. Well, there's a window, but it might be too small for him to actually climb out of.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

Passed what? The exam? Terra...

[She isn't letting him go so easily. Grabs something to wear - not her normal outfit, just something she can put on quickly - turning her back to throw it on. ...still between him and the door, though.]

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

[He's keeping his back to her to give her the privacy she deserves, but he's looking at that window as if contemplating trying anyway.]

Yeah, the exam.

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

[There, a shirt and pants. Her hair is still damp, but she doesn't really care about that.]

... I'm sorry.

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

What are you apologizing for? [Finally looking back, he was half-heartedly touching the windowsill.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

Everything.

[...glances down at the floor.]

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

Aqua.. [He kept watching her, but the quiet seeped in and he looked away, back out the window.] ...You don't need to.

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. If it wasn't for me, none of this would have happened.

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

If it wasn't for you, a lot of good things wouldn't have happened. So don't apologize for being yourself. [Looking back, he had a more stern tone in his voice, but it didn't last long before his gaze settled away.]

I'm glad you made it, at least.

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[She's quiet for a moment, then:]

If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you... [pass too?]

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

... There's darkness in my heart. It stands out far more when compared to yours and Ven's lack of. [This time he's staying focused on the window.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

[... She hesitates for just a second, then steps forward to hug him tightly from behind.]

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

[He forces himself to relax, and it comes as easily as he wishes it too when he reaches up to carefully rest his hand on her arm, looking downward.]

It's my own fault. Somehow, somewhere, I... [No, maybe it has always been with him.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

[She's a little surprised when he doesn't pull away immediately, but it's nice. :c]

Maybe... There has to be some way for you to do something about it.

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

... Maybe. [His fingers gently gripped her arm in a sort of returned hug; he's too unsure to fully turn and hold her the way he wants to.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

[...That makes two of them.]

If you want to try that, I wouldn't mind helping.

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

[Finally, he's looking over his shoulder to her with a gentle smile.] I'd appreciate it. [Honestly, even if he just saw her not even ten minutes ago, it feels like it's been a long long time. Maybe it's this place? It has a way of messing up time, after all.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[That has her pulling away.

...so she can give him a proper hug. c: She's missed him.]

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

[That proper hug is earning one from him, though it starts out careful and gentle. Once he relaxes again though, his arms held her firmly, his head tipping down to half tuck his nose against her hair.]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Ven just happened to be passing by, and--]

Terra?!

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

[Impeccable timing as always. She...doesn't pull away, though.]

Hey, Ven.

[samuraipants.livejournal.com]

[Terra, on the other hand, has an awkward look on his face as he moves to pull away and offer Ven a bro smile.]

Hey.

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Man, where've you been? I've been looking all over for ya!

[Hi, bro. Ven is going to slip on inside now.]

[magicwishing.livejournal.com]

He got sent home.

[Weirdest brothers ever.]
