part 258 dusty old bones

[aphanon_meme]

Full of green dust! Happy Friday... Saturday... Sunday? I'm not good at time zones. In any case, the sun is shining here for once! Of course the ground is still covered in snow, but at least it's not all grey and icky and I can have my window open and enjoy some pretty natural light. Hoe was your week? Good? Not so good? Baby bear's porridge?

[ oh how cute ]

[ makes sure to grab a few ]

Guess who ate half of one.

[dam_stijl]

An anon gave me this - [holds one out] - said I should give it to you.

Don't - don't take it if you don't want to.

I know. I was gonna tag you but anon really seemed like they wanted you to tag me.

[bellabelgium]

[ might be holding one behind her back... and it might be for him-- ]

[ looks at it for a moment ]

An anon did?

Buhyoo anons!

[dam_stijl]

[he's feeling kind of awkward just holding this cookie in the air]

[draws his arm back in and looks somewhere else]

Yeah.

[bellabelgium]

Did you not want to give me one?

[dam_stijl]

Not if you don't want it.

[happy mood is flagging. guess half a cookie isn't as potent]

[bellabelgium]

I don't want something you didn't want to give me in the first place.

[ maybe grabbing a cookie for him was a bad idea too ]

[dam_stijl]

I don't want you to take it if you think it's - [frets] - I don't want to force you into it, okay?

[he'd love to see you happy, though]

[bellabelgium]

Force me? It's a cookie that'll make me happy. What is there to force?

I was-- I was gonna give you one too. [ she doesn't see that smile enough, not directed at her anyway ]

[dam_stijl]

[mumbles] Didn't want you to think I was being manipulative, alright? [he's a worrywart like that]

[halfheartedly holds it out]

But. Take it if you want.

[briefly flicks his eyes to hers when she says that]

You were?

[bellabelgium]

I'm allowed to give you the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

[ takes it before handing him his from behind her back ]

Here. But only if you want it.

[dam_stijl]

[grabs it]

Yeah, sure.

[...aaaand hesitates. what if he does something stupid?]

You want me to have this.

[bellabelgium]

[ looks at him for a moment before nodding slowly ]

I know you're not unhappy but... y-you always seem that way around me, so-- I figured this might help a little. Even if it's kinda silly.

[dam_stijl]

[well fuck. that does it]

[takes a huge bite, covers his mouth, and mumbles - ] S'not silly.

You. Eat yours.

[bellabelgium]

[ blinks, blushing when he suddenly takes a huge bite before looking at her own ]

... [ takes a larger bite than she normally would as well, chewing quickly and swallowing hard ]

[dam_stijl]

[he already had half a cookie in him, dunno why she's so shocked]

[and he finishes it. you know, this isn't too different from being high]
