[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.]

[basjfbjas HEY. He makes a face]

"Haruhi, is that really necessary?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, my nose was runny.

[timey_wimey]

[That face is still there, though it's degenerating into a pout right now]

[mutters] "I'm going to have to put the washing machine back together now from when I dismantled it the other week to make an upgrade for the TARDIS."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[pauses in the middle of wiping her nose again]

You're supposed to have one anyway! That's gross!

[timey_wimey]

"I did have one! I just. Dismantled it, that's all."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I need someplace to wash my clothes! I can't wear dirty bras.

[timey_wimey]

"I said I was putting it back together, didn't I?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you did.

[snuggles in his arms, sniffling a bit]

[timey_wimey]

[Smiles at her fondly]

"I should keep a packet of tissues around for this, really."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[looks shyly away at the smile, pressing her face against his chest]

Yeah, if I had a real cold, we'd be screwed.

[timey_wimey]

"Just a bit, yeah."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

...

I'd stay with you, you know.

Even if you didn't want me anymore, I'd stay.

[timey_wimey]

"...

Well. I'm always going to want you. So that's okay, then."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[clings to him and mumbles something into his neck]

[timey_wimey]

"Sorry, what was that?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I love you!

[timey_wimey]

"Ouch! Blimey Haruhi, you don't need to shout it in my ear."

[His expression turns into a smile, though.] "But you know, I love you too."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

...Do you think Jenny still will?

[timey_wimey]

"I'm sure she will. But you know, I'm sure all you need to do is ask."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I-I wanna be a good sister.

[timey_wimey]

"I bet you will be. Besides, someone needs to show her the ropes of how best to humiliate me, don't they?"

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I don't humiliate you, I just love you.

[timey_wimey]

"Well, okay, it's a humiliating love. No wait... that isn't right... an embarrassing love? No, that doesn't work either. Maybe it's just a family love."

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Is this what being a family feels like?

[timey_wimey]

"Yeah. Yeah, it is."

[Looks at her quickly] "That's not a bad thing, is it?"
