Day 43: Sun Room, Second Shift

[arc-wrench.livejournal.com]

When the shift changed, HK stayed put. Even after a long night of zombie killing, he had no interest in meatbag fuel, especially after all the discussion of chocolate with that rather strange meatbag. It was just making him crave the stuff even more than he had previously, if that was possible.

Oh, right. He was supposed to be looking for someone who was "VERY LARGE, WITH DARK HAIR." And also seemed to not know what lower-case letters were on the bulletin. As if that would help. He'd seen a likely candidate last shift, but talk of chocolate had distracted him.

Kagura would've felt guilty suggesting it herself, but Bridget seemed to be of a similar mind.

"I'd like that," she said after a moment. "I- we could still work on things um- I could... I could teach you to sew or use a bat or... you could show me how to use a yo-yo or... we could..." she trailed off, unsure if he'd even wanted to stick together or just spend the night in his own room. She couldn't really fault him for that. Maybe he wanted time to himself.

Bridget nodded, relaxing now that she seemed to think it would be a good idea as well. "I'd like that," he said. "As long as I'm not imposing or anything of course." She might want to be alone after all and he wasn't going to be rude.

"Oh- n-no, I don't mind at all," she replied. Funny how they seemed to be thinking the same thing. As if she would mind having Bridget's company! He'd been the only one to help her when she was on the verge of hysterics last night. Not to mention the countless other things he'd done for her.

"Please, I don't want to be alone and-... and I like being with you."

Reaching over he carefully took her hand and squeezed it before letting go. His cheeks were pink, but he was smiling. "Alright then. I'll meet you at your room once the doors unlock. Is that alright?"

It wasn't a completely unfamiliar feeling, but it was hard to believe that it was possible to feel even a little happy here. Somehow, Bridget managed to make things better with something as silly as holding her hand. She smiled back, her earlier fears almost forgotten.

"Of course, that's fine. I'll wait for you," she assured him. While she wasn't sure how much they'd actually accomplish, a break would probably be a good idea for both of them.

[agh, sorry for failing. D:]
