24th Match - [Video]

[beanies]

[And it's Seifer, kind of... staring into the communicator. He doesn't look too happy, but eh, that's Discedo for ya.]

You guys, be careful out there. The fog's kinda... suspicious, if you catch my drift. If you can, stay outside. Chicken Wuss, Patches, committee, don't go getting in trouble, got it?

...you too, Prince. [At this, he shuts his eyes and mumbles. The communicator drops for a second.] Tch. Don't even know what I'm bothering tryin'. It's not like you're even talking to me. Girls.

[...yeah, Seifer lets the communicator fall and kind of... sighs loudly. Really, the kid looks depressed; as is seen from a view on the floor in between his boots. He holds onto his head and stares at the communicator.

It only takes a moment longer before he just falls back on his bed and only his legs are seen.]

I was so stupid, crap!

...got it, thanks.

Mm...

[Don't give me that kicked puppy look, Seifer. -- Because you know it's working.]

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

[But Utena you kicked me. D: Puppy is sad.

...and he sighs softly.]

...I really... am sorry about that. A-and... it's not that you're some doll or anything... [Here's the part where he ends up looking up and avoiding staring at you.]

[Utena quietly exhales, bringing a hand up to her hair and avoiding looking down at the communicator herself.

He kind broke her. It's gonna take a moment to find the right words.]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

[Her words are kind of half-spoken/half-muttered, since she's having a hard time maintaining that tough attitude of hers.]

I'm... sorry that I hit you. I just-...!

[...]

I just... I don't need someone else to protect me.

[Aww, Utena... Seifer's look softens for a minute and he turns down. Really, he'd like to hug you... but kicked puppy is afraid of that again.]

I'm not-- [Sigh. How to word this.]

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

[Let's do some thinking here.]

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Got an idea, Prince. I won't step in unless I'm pretty certain you'll need the back-up.

My committee's built on people who can handle themselves, so I trust you...

Jeez...

Y'know, I still have a bruise from that.

[1/2]

[...]

Not a bad idea.

All right. Then... I'll be the one to count on you and the others when a time like that comes up.

It's not really... that I don't appreciate your wish. It's just that I know I'm stronger than that. I don't want anyone to feel like they have to worry about someone like me.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

[A little laughter here.]

Sorry, sorry! I guess I don't know my own strength.

I owe you a bandaid, okay?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm gonna worry anyway. It's, uh... just... something I gotta do.

[And he laughs.]

Just one? Make it two and I'll call it even.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Just as stubborn as ever...

All right. Two.

But that's my final offer.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Deal.
