Endgame: Gathered on This Beach of the Tumid River

Characters: open
Setting: all around the Tower from the 25th of May to the 1st of June
Format: any
Summary: A general mingle for all characters throughout the Tower.
Warnings: Standard Animus warnings; please note anything specific in the subject headers of your threads

[The Tower is stagnant, the only signs of activity confined to the second block. There isn't much time left; it might be a good idea to rest and do whatever strikes your fancy before the timer hits zero.]

“I… I’m glad you think I’m strong. That I’ve appeared to prove myself as strong. And… I always want to be there for you.”
slightlyoblivious: (looking behind)

"I don't think it. I know it."

She nods her head to punctuate her sentence.

"- you always will be. Don't you doubt that for a second."
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: a reason to be missed)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-07-17 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
“I won’t then. No matter what, we’ll be there for each other.”

At least in spirit… no, Ryoji needs to hope for more than that. He shouldn’t even consider the alternative.
slightlyoblivious: (blushu)

Yukiko nods, catching one of Ryoji's hands in hers and giving it a squeeze.

"No matter what. There's no question about it."

She smiles, then, cuddling close enough to rest her head on his shoulder.

"I love you."
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: it's a bad joke)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-07-22 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
“I love you too, Yukiko. So much.”

He leans his chin against the top of her head, cradling her hands in his lap. He’s so comforted, having her close, and as the panic fades away, it seems that all he wants to do is sleep here with Yukiko in his arms. He tries to stifle a yawn.
slightlyoblivious: (just hold me close)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-07-22 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
She settles with her head against his shoulder, giggling lightly at that yawn. There's absolutely nowhere else Yukiko would rather be at that moment.

"I could fall asleep listening to your heartbeat, too."
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: dinner and dancing?)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-07-30 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
“It’s… comforting. Hearing that always reminds me that you’re really here.”

He chuckles gently.

“Even though having someone as beautiful as you around always feels like a dream.”
slightlyoblivious: (if you put it like that...)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-07-30 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
"It is, and that's it exactly. It reminds me that I'm not just dreaming."

Yukiko can feel herself blushing, even if she can't quite see it.

"I - "

She trails off, going a shade or two pinker than she had been.
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: a little in love)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-07-30 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryoji can’t help but laugh at that.

“Are you really still flustered by my compliments? I thought you would have dismissed all of them as cheesy by now.”

He’s still happy that she hasn’t, though, as he means every compliment he gives her from the bottom of his heart.
slightlyoblivious: (just a dreaming girl)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-07-31 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's hard not to get flustered. They don't all come off cheesy..."

Yukiko laughs, just a little.

"I don't know if I'll ever not get at least a little bit flustered."
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: j-just a little secret)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-08-01 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
“Even if we were married?”

He says it before he can stop himself, but blushes darkly when he realizes what he’s said.

“Um… if that were to happen, I mean.”
slightlyoblivious: (if you put it like that...)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-08-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
When she hears that, Yukiko blushes a few shades darker, then smiles, nodding.

"Even then."

That smile grows a little wider.

"I - I feel - have felt for a while like it was less of a matter of 'if' and more a matter of 'one day', but I didn't want to say anything, just in case."
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: sure don't want to hurt)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-08-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I... I'd like it to be one day, if that's what you'd want."

Ryoji grins back.

"Seems like we were both afraid to say what we really felt, and for no reason."
slightlyoblivious: (find the beat again)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-08-07 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd be really happy - no. That's an understatement."

Yukiko giggles, just a little.

"Nothing in the world would make me happier. And yeah, I think we were. I know I shouldn't be, but it just kind of happened."
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: an honest smile)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-08-08 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
“Nothing in the world would make me happier… especially knowing that you’re so pleased with it. Then… maybe…”

He doesn’t want to say ‘when we get out of here’. That would be hoping for too much. He’ll just smile sheepishly.
slightlyoblivious: (just a dreaming girl)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-08-08 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't say 'maybe'. We'll leave here together. I - I can't make a promise, as much as I'd like to, but I will promise that I'll do everything in my power to be sure that we do."

Yukiko's smile softens, and she leans up just enough for a kiss.
notsogrimreaper: (Ryoji Mochizuki: just a funny thought)

[personal profile] notsogrimreaper 2014-08-13 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
“And… I’ll do the same.”

He smiles gently, returning the kiss and reaching up to run his fingers through her hair. He sighs as he pulls away.

“I still can’t believe how amazing you are.”
