Get her into a regeneration tank. Start the triage center in the lobby; I don't want anyone on the upper floors until we've verified the foundation's still stable. Go!

Shalua...

I'm so ashamed. I'm supposed to be a hero of the Jenova War. But look at me.

[OOC: Mmmm, failure. Set during DOC, shortly after the destruction of WRO headquarters.]

Cursed. Memory one.

I'll be fine.

How are you, Misao?

[He's laughing a little]

And you aren't compelled to share it? Well done, you.

I'm sure. It's nothing unusual, for this place.

In the stockroom at work.

I'm fine, hon. Promise. It comes and goes.

If you're sure.

I'm upstairs, love, if you need me.

Yes. Of course. [Action?]

Anita leaned against some shelves, eyes distant as she tried to pull herself out of memories better left buried.

Reeve slipped into the store room, making sure to close the door and lock it behind himself. He threaded his way through the shelves until he found her.

Without a word, he drew her into his arms, his fingers burying themselves in her hair.

Date: 2009-02-22 04:11 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
Still lost in her mind, she leaned against him, sighing without really knowing he was there. A moment later, she blinked and shook her head a little, the motion letting Reeve's fingers tug at her curls.

"... I'm fine."

He untangled from her as best he could before she got hurt.

"All right."

Despite that, he kept his arms tight around her. He wasn't willing to let her go yet.

Date: 2009-02-22 04:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
She was happy to lay her head against his chest, silently wishing for that soothing sound that should be just under her ear.

"You?"

Date: 2009-02-22 04:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"I'll be fine," he murmured, kissing her forehead. To fill the silence, he began humming softly, slowly petting her hair.

Date: 2009-02-22 04:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
".... what's your memory?"

She knew she shouldn't ask but Anita never had been a prudent woman, after all.

Date: 2009-02-22 04:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"Back home, in the last crisis -- the WRO headquarters were ambushed. We were nearly destroyed."

He sighed, pausing in his stroking. "What's yours?"

"When Richard let Jean-Claude and I to die at the Harlequin's hands."

Her sigh matched his.

"He did what?"

Reeve frowned, continuing to stroke her hair gently. "I'm sorry, love."

Date: 2009-02-22 05:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
"It's... not worth explaining, really. It's in the past and long dead."

She shifted to nuzzle into his chest, not wanting to hear that odd silence from him anymore.

Date: 2009-02-22 05:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"What is it, love?" Not the curse, but... he knows there's something else.

Date: 2009-02-22 05:25 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
She froze, silently cursing her transparency.

"... it's nothing, sweetheart. Really. It's fine. Midnight will be here soon and it'll all be fine."

"Anita..." But he doesn't push, even though he can hear the tension in her voice. Instead, he draws her in closer, nuzzling the shell of her ear. "I love you."

Date: 2009-02-22 05:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
She sighed, then slowly pulled in his scent as she leaned in as close as she could with clothes on.

"I love you, too."

Anita wanted to just be able to open her mouth and say what she wanted to say, but she didn't want to hurt him. Not for anything and not after she'd already hurt him enough in the past.

Still, she couldn't help but let a few things tumble out of her mouth before her brain could stop her.

"Reeve... I hated being dead here, but... I think I hate you being dead even more."

Date: 2009-02-22 05:42 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
That's not what he's expecting to hear.

"I... It's not that I love it myself, sweetheart." He sighed, hiding his face in her hair and nuzzling closer.

"I'm just afraid that if I come alive again they'll take me from you."

Date: 2009-02-22 05:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
Her arms tightened around his waist.

"... I know. I just hate seeing you like this since... you deserve life. I've never heard your heartbeat and I guess... I just wondered what it sounded like."

Date: 2009-02-22 05:50 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"I'll take care of it," he promised her, closing his eyes and breathing in her scent.

Date: 2009-02-22 01:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
She pulled away a bit, leveling a look at him. "Reeve, the price is usually too high. Really, I'm just being silly."

Date: 2009-02-22 02:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
He frowned and ran his thumb along her cheek.

"Anita, it bothers you. That's enough reason for me to change it."

Date: 2009-02-22 02:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
"Not if the cost is too high. I know they took something from me and I know I miss it, but I still can't remember it and that drives me insane sometimes."

She reached up and curled her fingers around his wrist, nuzzling his hand.

Date: 2009-02-22 02:11 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"I have something to offer them."

He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, his fingers toying with her curls.

Date: 2009-02-22 02:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
She leaned into his embrace, wanting him close.

"... you might regret it later, love."

Date: 2009-02-22 02:18 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"Not as much as I'd regret abandoning you."

He pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

the iiiiicon!

From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
"Reeve, the city does what it wants to. If it takes you home, that's fine, because I know you'll be alive and where you should be."

Still, as she spoke, she clung to him.

The iiiiiiiiion wins!

From: [identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com
"Anita, if I went home, a much larger part of me would be missing and I would never know what it was."

It doesn't matter. His mind is made up. He'll speak to the Deities tomorrow.

It does!

She fell silent, arms around his waist as she realized just how much he'd come to mean to her.

XD;;;;;;;

As if he could sense her thoughts, he whispered, "I love you" against her hair.

From: [identity profile] browning-baby.livejournal.com
There was a very soft laugh as she hugged him tighter.

"I love you, too."

Choices she should never have had to make.
