Guy? I think we should talk.

Probably a good idea. I'm on the roof.

[Locked]

[dissonates]

What the hell are you- ...nevermind. I'll be up in a minute.

[On his way now.]

[Chillin' like a villain on the roof.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch climbs up, watching him for a moment before sitting down beside him.]

...Hi.

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Good evening. [Guy's gonna wait for Asch to speak.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Fidget. Fidget fidget.]

Did you talk to Natalia?

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Mm, a little bit. We caught up.

[Action]

[dissonates]

...Yeah. Us too. [Sort of.

...

And he sort of feels like headdesking right about now.]

I don't know what to do.

It's not going to be easy to keep us a secret from her; a few people other than the ones in this house know about us, after all. We can try though.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch hesitates, swallowing hard. He's a master of secrecy, usually. He's kept secrets from Natalia before. But this...]

...I'm not ashamed of it.

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not either. But I'm pretty certain we're both feeling guilty as hell.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[...Actually-]

...Yeah.

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

She needs time to adjust to the surroundings before we force her to adjust to this.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch just nods. It's not that hard to be separated from each other, is it? Except he's so used to being close to Guy that going back to being on a platonic level of going to be... a challenge, to say the least.

But he'll do it. It's for Natalia, and he owes her that much.]

I'll sleep in my room until she knows.

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[...damn it, he hadn't wanted to have this conversation yet. But with Natalia's arrival, it was looking to be inevitable.] ...you might want to consider any other options, too.

[Action]

[dissonates]

...Other options? [Wait what?]

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

You love Natalia, don't you?

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Blushing now.]

S-so what?

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Does he really have to spell it out?]

...so maybe she should be an option you keep in mind.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[What.

What.

What.]

What the hell are you saying!? There are no other options to consider!

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy doesn't say anything in response, just draws up his knees and rests his elbows on them.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch's eyes widen, and he shifts away, expression twisting as if he'd been stung.]

So Natalia's a convenient excuse for you to get rid of me?

[Action]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Asch. [Guy doesn't even bother masking his expression, he's that irritated.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Yeah, well, Asch is irritated too, so he's just going to glare in response.]

[Action]

If we can't even approach the subject without you flying off the handle and making assumptions then this is going to get a hell of a lot messier.

Besides, am I the one in love with someone else? No. I'm not. Maybe you should be giving that a little thought before accusing me of trying to dump you.
