Home Is Where The Heart Is...

Newspapers do make for good reading after all! And three months' worth? Well, let's just say Yoko's been dedicating all her time to understanding the world at large. Especially things that hadn't happened before she got to the Nexus

Yoko must be psychic or something, because not five seconds later there's a characteristic knock on her door, tapping out the beat to "Shave and a Haircut" (haha, ironic). Kevin is standing by himself in the hallway, trying to get his jitters under control.

If Yoko is psychic, she sure as heck doesn't realize it. The knock on the door makes her laugh a little bit. "I can guess who that is," she calls ut cheerily as she heads for the door.

Upon opening it, she finds out that she's right. "Yes, it is you! Hi, Kevin." she stands to one sie. "Would you like to come in?"

[sonotastars]

Kevin is staring at the floor when she opens it, and looks up to give her a small smile--he's holding a helmet of some kind in one hand, and is wearing a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt and a leather jacket.

"Hey," his voice is a little more subdued than usual.
"Actually... I was gonna see if you wanted to come out for a ride with me."

With this, he offers up the helmet; it's dark blue, with a few dings in it.

"Maybe talk about some stuff."

Uh-oh, this doesn't bode well. Yoko's stomach does a little somersault at the tone of Kevin's voice.

But she gives him a small smile and a nod. "A ride sounds wonderful. I-I can't spend all day cooped up in here, after all!"

She takes a moment to retrieve her green jacket before following Kevin out the door. "So where are we going, Kevin?"

[sonotastars]

He looks back at her briefly and gives her hand a small reciprocal squeeze.

"Yeah. Think you should know about some stuff I've done. Want the air to be clear."

Kevin is very much a man of obvious visual cues; he rubs his mouth with his other hand while looking at the ground. This is a plain expression of uncertainty, masked though it may be.

"Guess you could say I wasn't a very good boyfriend in the past," he's doing the not-looking-at-you thing again, "had a habit of bein' unfaithful. Never really stayed with anyone for long."

He considers this, then glances over again to gauge her reaction.

All things considered, Yoko looks remarkably unruffled by all of this. Either that, or she's got one hell of a poker face going on here. She looks at Kevin and nods firmly.

"But now? How does th-that compare to the current day?"

[sonotastars]

"It doesn't," he replies, letting his fingers slip out of her hand.
"I'm not goin' anywhere. You don't gotta worry about that."

Kevin pauses.

"Sex'd be a pretty stupid reason to give up somethin' I want as much as this."
