006↠ ACTION

[It's sunny. And hot. And perhaps not the best weather to take a nap in while you're unabashedly unconscious.

... Which is too bad, seeing as Sanji's passed out under a tree located at the village's edge - clothes dirty and ruffled, no doubt collecting more dirt as he rolls in his uncomfortable slumber, the crook of his arm covering his eyes.

Go on. Wake him up. Be a good Samaritan.



And hell, even if you don't, Sanji will eventually stumble upon you -- or into you, if that's your thing. Later in the day he'll be all over the village insisting he's fine, no he's not drunk so stop trying to escort him back to bed. B| He can walk it off.]






[ooc: MALLYNAP EFFECT. Touch him and your character will share a memory with Sanji. It can be a memory of his or a memory of your character's; just specify in the subject line what you prefer. |D Any memory is free game, and the scope of it is at our discretion, but keep in mind both characters will view it until the memory ends or they escape the "boundary". (Just imagine the memory as a bubble and if a character walks far enough for whatever reason, they pop it.) Also note they're still in Luceti - no teleporting anywhere. Just assume the characters are mostly slack-jawed and staring at a tree for the duration.

I also endorse all time-breaking. Tis but a flimsy wall in our way.]

It's great to see you!

[Leaning against the wall. Like a man. Like a stupid man with stupid man pride instead of being in bed where you belong. D8

She stops a pace or so away from him.]


Are you all right?

Sanji--

[Katara moves quickly to his side to wrap an arm around his waist and support him, but the second they touch, a very peculiar memory flashes before her eyes:

Standing in a cement stairwell, her clothes are unfamiliar and even when she's not thinking about it, she's too conscious of them. The bra she wore under the modest V-necked shirt pushed her breasts out and up to the point where she was frequently taken by surprise by them; the light cardigan provided some covering. Her skirt was long, down to her knees, but still revealing an uncomfortable patch of her upper calve where the knee socks wouldn't reach. At least the shoes were comfortable.

She was taking a risk, a wild risk, and feeling miserable and fey and - what could she do to make him understand? Him - Masaomi, and looking at his face she felt an uncomfortable tangle of guilt and affection and a wild surge of protectiveness that only strengthened along with the quickening of her heart as she reached out to take his hands.

Where should she put them? On her waist was too high, too safe, but any higher and it might be too much for him, any lower and... no--

I trust him.

--she puts his hands high on her hips. "I'm not going to fight, and I'm not going to stop you. I'm going to stand here for a minute, and you can do whatever you want..." she swallows hard, "if that's what you want. I'm going to trust you."

Because you're not what you think you are - what Saki and Izaya and everyone else has made you think you are.

You're worthy of trust.

I don't believe you'll hurt me.

And then she drops her hands and starts counting down from 60.

[She's not sure why she's remembering this, but--

She's standing there, perfectly still while he's looking at her in shock and--]


Sanji, are you okay?

[--she doesn't blush or look away from his eyes, but there's something twisting inside of her and she's scared, because why is he looking at her like that, and what if this doesn't work-- but the thought that he would actually hurt her never crosses her mind, and if he stole that kiss he'd been bothering her for all day, she could live with that, just--

His eyes drop, and look at her legs, scan up her body and her heart catches, and he looks at her face, at her eyes and her mouth, and he's adoring.

His hand start to slide up to her waist, leaving the heat of his touch behind, as he comes closer...

[Okay, he's starting to creep her out now. Making sure to keep supporting him, she moves around in front to see his face.]

Sanji?

[--her breath catches when his arms wrap around her waist in a loose hug, and his face blurs as he comes closer. She stiffens, she can't help it. But then he's moved even closer, and his lips brush her forehead in a chaste kiss.

60.

And he lets go. And he's smiling at her, smiling at her
like that.

"Believe me now?"]


Sanji, you're scaring me. What's wrong?

[Katara's grip on him goes slack, but she doesn't quite let go.]

What?

[That memory that came out of no where, that - one moment - where she risked everything to show him that she didn't --

Her stomach twists into knots.

Was that what he saw?]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2012-06-15 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Not on purpose.

I wasn't when I came over here, I don't know what--
]


You saw that?

[She's not even blushing yet.

Oh man.

This was so beyond humiliating.]
markofthebrave: (NOT His Girlfriend!)

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2012-06-16 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't let go, because she's scared he'll fall down if she does. And then she'll have to catch him again. And then who knows what he'd see!]

You could have warned me!?!

[Oh, there's the blush.]
markofthebrave: (Paint Can't Hide This)

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2012-06-17 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant after--

[Her better judgement is trumped by humiliation, and honestly, Katara feels like she could cry. This whole thing was just such a mess, and now Sanji saw that...

She shifts to move away, but remembers herself just in time, swings her arm more firmly around his back, under his wings.]


Let's just get you somewhere you can lay down.

[Her stomach feels sour. There's a rushing urge to try to explain, but - it really wasn't any of his business; she was indignant, she shouldn't have to explain.

She is currently too torn emotionally to respond to his apology.]


Let's just go - there are beds in the Item Shop.

[She moves to shoulder more of his weight.]

[It doesn't really take long for Katara to soften again - she hasn't seen him in so long. And it wasn't as though he'd asked to see it or selected the memory... or even flew off the handle, which was surprising, really.]

Is what's been happening tied in to why you're so tired?
markofthebrave: (Hmmm | This Calls for Concern)

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2012-06-25 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'll get you to lay down for a little bit in the Item See and see if you can't get some of your strength back. If not, we'll call Chopper to help you get back to the house.

[Go ahead and argue with her, Sanji, I dare you.]
markofthebrave: (Though I Am Weary | Here for You)

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2012-06-25 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she hears that sheepish tone, Sanji. SHE HEARS IT.

And braces herself a little.]


Yes?
markofthebrave: (>_>)

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2012-07-02 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He might have been better off with one of those other options. As it is, her lips compress into a light frown.]

What do you mean, "guys like him?"
