Fourth Rose: Attack on Candies [Audio]

[Suddenly there is a lot of commotion going on and things fall over or get knocked into. The sound of metal coming in contact with…something can be heard. The contact sounds pretty small, but there is someone who sounds pretty frustrated by it all.]

Damnit-- [That sound of metal ringing can be heard again.] Why aren't you--

[He gets cut off, but this time there is choking and coughing to be heard and the person seems to have bumped into something. The coughing and wheezing continues for a while.]

Damn candies...

[Aya really didn't like being lied to, and it shows on his face. The story is pretty good, though, but it needs improvement. Didn't they just work on trust issues? Were they going to have to start from scratch?]

Why are you lying to me? [Was she not being truthful with him before during that time he was out in the boat?]

*Of course she realises that this isn't fair. She's not sure if Aya needs to build his trust with the entire crew or just herself, but given what she's put him through she knows that lying really isn't the best way forward. So levels her eyes with his and speaks with plain honesty*

Because. Because you kissed me and even though it was the candy, I don't understand why you aren't mad at me, or trying to get me out of your sight. And because I didn't eat any candy. Not at all. But I kissed you back anyway, if only just a tiny little bit. And that's wrong because I have... I have a something with a someone who hasn't spoken to me in days. And the kiss felt nice and that isn't fair to anyone for me to admit that, not fair to you or me or him. And that is why I lied. Because actually it was ten times easier to lie than tell the truth.

*Her voice cracks a little at the end, but her open and honest, and somewhat pained expresaion hasn't changed*

[Trusting the crew is important, but he doesn't want to feel as if he can't trust her, because it would mean he can't trust anyone else. He meets her gaze and listens, and everything becomes clear. Had Ikki really not been talking to her for so long? Did they have a fight? He couldn't imagine many people being angry with her, unless it was a good reason.]

[It was a lot of information to take in as she kept going. Aya steps forward and envelops her into a hug. She seems like she really needs one.]

You don't have to leave. I'm not angry with you, because I was in the wrong, not you. I wouldn't have the right to make you leave for helping me. [He sighs softly.] I don't know why he isn't talking to you, but it isn't really fair for you. [Especially for Valentine's Day, which seems to be a big thing for girls.]

*Likely, in that case, Aya might be surprised to find how often Ikki is angry with her. Though that last time they spoke...no one had ever spoken to Selphie like that. Angry enough that she isn't even sure that Ikki still wants to even know her - though she'd said days to Aya, it was almost becoming a matter of weeks.

At the hug, Selphie can't help but latch onto Aya, because that was definitely something that she needed. But she wouldn't cry. Not here*

He...has his reasons.

*Because that's all that she can manage to say just now, but she acknowledges and appreciates everything he's just said*

[Her not crying really shows him how strong she is. If he had known it was much longer than that, he would have worried. That's a long time to not speak to anyone.]

He probably does, but still, this isn't your fault. Do you know remember why?

*Selphie looks up at him, her confusion obvious. She thought that she's been over this. He was under the influence of a candy, and she wasn't. Sure, she hadn't fully embraced him or anything like that, but Selphie knows she should have just stepped away instead of allowing it to happen. So slowly she just shakes her head, because she doesn't really have the energy to want to argue about this*

[He sees the confusion, and doesn't mind that she is.]

Because it's mine, and...I'm sorry. So don't blame yourself.

*Clearly Selphie isn't going to be able to change his mind, so she sighs gently and tries a weak smile*

Okay. I'll accept that apology, even if I think you don't need to make it but... You're not too upset, or annoyed, or bothered by this, or anything?

*After all, he kissed her against his will, and that really might not be a great thing for him. She doesn't want him feeling horrible that he did it, anyway*

[Very little makes Aya change his mind. Her question, though, is a loaded one.]

No, I'm fine. [He didn't mind what happened, but she didn't need to hear that. He was fine, though, in the end.]

[He pulls away from her, smiling faintly.] Stay if you want. I'm just... [Aya looks around the room, at the knocked over items.] Going to clean a bit.

Okay.

*Mostly, Selphie is just glad that he isn't disgusted by what he did, or that it didn't give him any kind of strong, horrible feelings. So fine was good enough for her*

I'll help.

*So she silently goes about picking things up, putting them where it seems like they had fallen from*

[Aya rights a few things in the process, seeing Selphie put some items in a new place. He figures he could fix them later. As long as they were off the floor. Then he remembers the roses.]

Don't forget to take back your flowers.

*Oops, sorry about that Aya, but she wasn't being especially observant when she came in. Selphie smiles at mention of the roses and she picks up the jug carefully*

Look at that, Aya - your act of kindness saved your life.

[Aya definitely notices that earlier and grins.] Probably the best gift I've ever given.

*Smiling is good. And Selphie looks much better now that smiling is a thing that is happening. She takes two roses from the jug and hands them over to him*

Here. You should keep these with some water, just in case.

[Aya takes the roses, flattered that she would do such a thing. Usually, only fangirls try to give him flowers, but this was different.]

Just in case. Thank you. [Who knows when he'll choke again.]

*Don't worry, Aya, Selphie can be a fangirl for you if you like. Still, she actually manages a small quiet laugh, and feels much better than she did a few moments ago*

You're welcome.

*She glances round the room, everything back in its proper place, apart from the things Selphie put back*

Well, guess I'll see you around for whatever crazy adventures the captain takes us on now..

It'll probably be sooner than later. [They were due for trouble pretty soon.] Thanks for helping.

;o! This isn't that kind of soap opera! (Or is it...?)

They never show anything racy in soap operas, anyway, so we're safe!
