[Private to Megamind]

Hello. It's Toshiko.

Um.

Can I ask you a question, please?

[OOC: Taking place some time after this meeting with Erik, which itself takes place on Sunday.]

Well, it's-- that's-- good to know. And you can cut her some slack on the password. The laptop's brand new and she probably hasn't time to set anything shiny up on it yet....

[ and then he realizes the timeframe in which she's found it, and... ohgodplease, tosh, please, don't have written anything about sex with him and edward during breach. please. oh god. ]

[ he's just going to lapse into silence and worry now. ]

Private

[breakingmyheart]

[Don't be silly, Megamind.

She's a scientist, of course she made notes.]

Probably.

[She lapses into quiet again, her brief levity fading.]

I...I know what's going to happen to me when this is finished.

Does that mean it's stupid to say I'll miss you?

Private

[megamind]

[ Yeah, that's what he figures. ]

[ Oh God he's going to be mortified for a while after this. For now, though, he just rubs his face, grinning lopsidedly. ]

No. I-- miss her a lot of the time and she's down the hall. It's not silly.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

If she's down the hall and you miss her you could just talk to her.

[There is a thick vein of 'boys are dumb' running through this statement.]

Private

[megamind]

Well, there's the whole... I'm seeing someone else, there are complications, and... things like that sort of.... stuff.

[ He laughs, realizing how dumb that sounds. ]

You know what? Don't grow up. Just be-- whatever age you are forever, if you can be, and enjoy it. Because I've yet to find a real convincing reason to do so yet.

We overcomplicate everything for silly reasons.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

....Okay.

[Since they both know that 'forever' for her will be the next day or so, this isn't too unreasonable a request.]

Private

[megamind]

...you want to come hang out with us and have cupcakes?

[ He figures she'll know who the 'us' is. ]

I made a pillow fort.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

[She makes a face. She's twelve; pillow forts are not an inducement.

Cupcakes are, though. And company.]

Alright. I'll come.

Private

[megamind]

Oh good. We're just down the hall. I'll make sure the door's unlocked.
