I Still Feel The Same About You

Clover Last Saturday at 10:37 PM

The funny thing about your luck is that sometimes you can walk into the right place and just wait, and it'll be the exact right time for the person you're waiting for to show up. So today, rather than a book and a photo, you settle yourself on Trace's bed.

Trace Yesterday at 1:13 AM

> Well, lucky him because you indeed return to your room shortly after. You didn't even plan to stay there for long, just get a new change of clothes maybe. You notice the trail leaning inside though, so you're at least prepared when stepping inside. "Well hello. Come here often?"

Clover Yesterday at 1:17 AM

> You snort and wave to him, smiling that one smile he definitely knows by now that means you're planning something or other in the next few moments. "Quite often, lately!"

Trace Yesterday at 1:26 AM

> Of course he got something planned. Sigh and roll your eyes with a smirk. "So, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Clover Yesterday at 1:30 AM

"Guuuueeess what I found."

Trace Yesterday at 1:37 AM

"My dignity?"

Clover Yesterday at 5:22 AM

"Better!"

Trace Yesterday at 2:18 PM

"Now I'm curious. What is it?"

Clover Yesterday at 2:27 PM

> Carefully retrieve a photo from within your vest and hold it out. > It's what he asked you to find.

Trace Yesterday at 2:30 PM

> You immediately know what it is and you smile (a little sad maybe, but relieved). > You walk over to sit on the bed next to him and take the photo to look at it. "Thank you."

Clover Yesterday at 2:34 PM

> Prrrr. "Did you ever find a place to put things or should I just let you know where the rest is?"

Trace Yesterday at 2:48 PM

"I asked Sitri if I could store some things with him.. Unless you got a better place for it."

Clover Yesterday at 3:07 PM

"I trust you."

Trace Yesterday at 3:20 PM

You flash a smile. "I trust you too.. Thanks for keeping my things safe."

Clover Yesterday at 4:15 PM

"You got an hour?"

Trace Yesterday at 4:16 PM

"I think so. Why?"

Clover Yesterday at 4:17 PM

"I can show you the place if you promise not to leave tracks."

Trace Yesterday at 4:18 PM

Smirk. "I like to think I'm pretty okay at that."

Clover Yesterday at 4:52 PM

"And a kiss?" > You're joking- you get up and gesture for him to come with.

Trace Yesterday at 4:55 PM

> You smirk and get up to follow, but before that- lean down to give him a smooch on the side of his face. He deserves it, honestly.

Clover Yesterday at 5:23 PM

> You make a noise equivalent to heart emoji spam and do a tiny little dance in place before leading him to leave the manor. When you flag a taxi over, you mention, "Almost nobody knows where this is, y'know. Not Snow, not Scratch, not Crow, not even Nep yet. So it's the safest place I could put anything 'til that changes."

Trace Yesterday at 5:24 PM

Huh. "And you're sure you want to show me?"

Clover Yesterday at 5:29 PM

You take his hand in yours and hum. "I want to be yours."

Trace Yesterday at 6:26 PM

On the list of things you didn't expect today-- You look at him quietly for a moment. There's no trace of any negative feeling, hardly even surprise, you just need a moment to process and figure out how to react. Your hand gladly rests in his though. "In what ways, exactly?"

Clover Yesterday at 6:50 PM

"Through thick and thin and hell and high water. I'm through with trying to think I can play the whole world on my own, an' I want to be at your side. So I'm trustin' you, aye?"

Trace Yesterday at 7:36 PM

"Aye." You smile and give his hand a squeeze, then lean back and get comfy in the car.

Clover Yesterday at 7:50 PM

You lead him to a rather stylish apartment on the border between Felt territory and neutral, letting him in and leading him through the living room- the shelves are full of old pictures, he might notice, and some of them featuring green faces that don't show up in his memories- to one of the bedrooms. You gesture to the closet with the rest of the stuff you packed before the raid. It's not as if you saved his whole room, but there are the little somethings.

Trace Yesterday at 9:38 PM

You linger at the sight of the pictures. Seeing other green faces is odd enough.. but some of the faces might be uncomfortably familiar, even if you can't quite put your finger on it. After a short moment you manage to pull yourself away to follow him into the bedroom to your stuff. It's okay if it's not a lot, you never expected that (and probably would have made Doc very suspicious), but you're glad for every piece Clover saved and returns. "You're a darling. Thank you.." You sigh rellieved and sit down in front of it, then immediately start rummaging through everything and try to find some of your most treasured possessions. Some especially important photos, the jar with the flowers, a couple of gifts you got, and so on.

Clover Yesterday at 9:43 PM

You settle beside him and lean slightly on him, quietly in support. Some part of you can remember why this was originally half out of spite, but you couldn't even try to feel what you had felt back then again. It seems almost silly now.

Trace Yesterday at 11:37 PM

You lean a bit against him as you go through your things, occassionally showing him something and telling him a tidbid about it. Just a week ago, you could have never imagined to have such a moment together ever again.

Clover Today at 12:02 AM

You keep every little thing he says close to your heart, and you seem happy to hear it all.
