[RL w/Haruhi - Will we ever make up and be friends?]

[timey_wimey]

[Ten is, to put it lightly, completely and utterly fed up at the moment - with the universe at large, yes, but mostly with himself for being a prize idiot. He's called Itsuki's phone ahead of time to speak to her and tell her that he's coming along, but their conversation didn't last long and it was more than a little strained. Which he guesses he can't blame her for.

At all, in fact.

Suffice it to say that his nerves are now a lot more frazzled than they've been in a while. Monsters? No problem. Overthrowing dictatorships, stopping wars, saving as many lives as he can? He's your man. But domesticity - he hasn't been able to manage domesticity properly since he regenerated into his ninth incarnation. He tries, but it's difficult, and this little incident has just proved why.

Bugger this. He stands in a corridor in Itsuki's house and rubs his hands over his face before he knocks on the door of the living room, where he's been told Haruhi is.]

[looks down]

...Oh.

[timey_wimey]

[Looks at her sidelong]

"... You didn't think I was going to come, did you."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[mumbles, she really looks like she feels bad about this.]

...no.

[timey_wimey]

[Breathes in and nods vaguely]

"Right. Well. That explains a lot."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[timey_wimey]

[Looks at her, his eyes seeming to look right at her. He's remembering what Jordan said, and hoping that he doesn't screw what he's about to say up.]

"Haruhi, you know that I love you, don't you?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I know.

[is trying her best not to break down]

[timey_wimey]

[Notices this]

"Haruhi?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[her voice cracks a bit]

I'm just no good at being a daughter. I tried.

[timey_wimey]

[Smiles at her]

"That's not true."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

A good daughter wouldn't be so jealous! I tried not to be, I really did!

[timey_wimey]

[Comes over to hug her]

"Haruhi, don't be daft. You can't help how you feel, we've been over this."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Why couldn't I have just been happy for Jenny. Why?

[timey_wimey]

"You tried, Haruhi. That means everything in the universe to me."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[inhales shakily and wipes her nose before pressing her face into her knees]

I still failed in the end.

[timey_wimey]

"Maybe. But that doesn't matter to me." [Pause] "Well, okay, I lied. It does. But you matter more."

[He's feeling daft saying all this already. |D]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[blinks and wipes her nose again]

I...matter more?

[timey_wimey]

"Of course."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

...

[flings her arms around his neck and just...clings like she's got nothing else in the world]

[timey_wimey]

[Smiles through the hug. That's more like it.]

"That's my girl."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I'll still miss being your only little girl.

[timey_wimey]

"Well, at least you can say that you were my first little girl."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

That's not so special once you have two.

[timey_wimey]

"Ah, but everyone knows that the oldest little girl gets spoiled rotten."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

No, it's which ever kid is better that matters most.

[it's pretty obvious who she thinks that is]
