[CFUD: Backdated again]

[SO ANYWAY, BACK IN JULY, LINK DECIDED HE WAS IGNORING ALLEN BECAUSE ALLEN IS DUMB. And then it continued for a week mostly because he was awkward and doesn't know how to apologize for getting mad...]

[WAIT, DON'T DO THAT, sidling away slightly as subtly as possible (so, not very...)]

. . .All right, then why?

[allmadeofstars]

[I will back you into a wall if I have to, so help me God]

Do I need a reason?

[boundbydevotion]

[nnnnooooooooooooo]

Shouldn't these things have a reason?

[allmadeofstars]

You tell me. Why did you end up becoming my friend instead of my keeper?

[boundbydevotion]

[un..sure...?]

It... didn't feel right to heap more unfairnesses on you when your life is already this difficult...

[allmadeofstars]

[almost a bitter, surprised laugh]

That's crap. I may be pathetic, but not so much that I'll take that sort of pity. I don't want it.

[boundbydevotion]

[hff] You are beyond frustrating, Walker! On the second day of our assignment you showed me both immense strength and vulnerability. I couldn't ignore it, that's all. It has nothing to do with pity.

[allmadeofstars]

. . . couldn't ignore it?

[boundbydevotion]

I couldn't ignore you. I'm afraid I'm not sure how else to describe it.

[allmadeofstars]

[. . . staring up at him]

[boundbydevotion]

[iraira]

Did that answer your question?

[allmadeofstars]

Not really . . .

[frames Link's face with her hands]

I'm sorry.

[boundbydevotion]

What--stop that! [grabbing her wrists]

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

Okay. I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry at all.

[LEANS ON]

[boundbydevotion]

[LEANED...ON.............?????? is sort of huddled tensely against the wall. it's kind of ridiculous]

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

[rests her head on his shoulder and laughs a little, softly]

I would like a hug, Howard Link.

[boundbydevotion]

[puts... arms.. around her... suspiciously]

[allmadeofstars]

[just leans on him, relaxing slowly, but enough that it's obvious how tense she was in the first place]

[boundbydevotion]

[relaxing a bit himself when that's all Allen does]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . you should let me decide who's good for me and who's not.

[boundbydevotion]

I can't trust your judgement when we care barely make basic communication.

[allmadeofstars]

Maybe you should trust my judgement if you consider me a friend.

And if you still consider me someone you just have to look after, then we can have a different sort of conversation.

[boundbydevotion]

I want us to be friends! I want to be...

[allmadeofstars]

You want to be . . .?

[boundbydevotion]

Yes, but that doesn't have to do with...

--Walker, when I k-kissed you just now it was a violation, yet you clung to it. If you think you are ready to decide what is good for you then I must disagree! It isn't out of disregard for you opinion, it is out of concern...
