breakingmyheart[Spam for Megamind and Edward Nygma]
[Toshiko is the first to wake up. There's still the lingering taste of buttercream frosting on her tongue. She doesn't remember the last time she ate a cupcake.
Megamind and Edward's pillow fort - ridiculous to Toshiko as an almost aggressively sensible twelve-year-old, now she can barely find it in herself to have an opinion - was designed for one small adult and two children. When they dozed off together it was cosy. Now three adults are tangled up at close quarters and the walls have been forced apart and they're listing alarmingly.
Luckily the ceiling is just blankets and there's some give in them, but moving at all will make the whole thing collapse and that'll wake up the other two. She doesn't really want that happening yet. Like she's just woken up from a good dream and she's wondering that if she drifts off again, her brain will be at the same frequency to let her return to it.
She knows she isn't tired enough to sleep again but she closes her eyes and just soaks it all in.]
[Private to Erik; voice]
Erik, I know...
[There’s a pause. She sounds a bit quiet, a bit lost, but not unemotional. On the contrary, it’s more like there’s too much going on and she’s struggling to keep a lid on it all.]
I know you didn’t do what you did for me.
[You did it for yourself. So you didn’t have to have a little girl's trauma on your conscience.
Though something still lingers. There's no reason not to walk. I - I'd like to see you do it.
He didn't have to say that to her younger self, knowing the older was the one it'd resonate with.]
But -- I want to thank you anyway.
[Private to 'Garrett Hobbs'; text]
You took advantage of me.
[She can't even tell if she's angry.]

He can be caring when... he allows himself. But if you give it back, it's... like running up against this wall. And I know why, but it doesn't make it any less hard.
Just-- be prepared for that.

Already am. I...I've been there.

Date: 2013-08-14 04:55 pm (UTC)Oh good. Then maybe you can help me deal with it when he's running me up one wall and down the other.
[ Maybe this-- could be good. For all of them. ]

[She stands up, and after cycling through parting gestures in her head she just leans over to touch his arm.]
Thanks for breakfast.

[And off she goes.]
