Oh god…she's really leaving… Micah bit his lip. I'm so stupid… He took a deep breath and grabbed Mariko's shoulder as she left, nearly falling over onto her in the process. "No! Okay, please don't go! I..I need you to stay. Please."
NOW KISSSSS
Marco dropped his clothes and hopped onto the bed. "I don't know. A lot of things pile up over time and I just have to let them out sometimes."
Phoebe tilted her head to look at him better. “So let them out. Vent. I’m listening.”, she said kindly.
(Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that's all folks! I have to go. BYEE!)
Mariko whipped around, her eyes kind of red and glassy, "You really want me to stay?"
(Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that's all folks! I have to go. BYEE!)
NOOOOOOO COME BACKKK)
Micah nodded. "Yeah, I do. I don't know what I would do if you left…"
"Go on with your life? Go back to your parents? Not deal with a crazy-blue haired cyborg fugitive with a magical grandpa?" Mariko touched her hair, "Well my hair is blonde right now, I guess."
He chuckled a little. "Thanks for the ideas. Look in all seriousness, I really want you to stay. I don't know what else to say to make you change your mind, so I'm just going to repeat what I already have said." Stupid stupid stupid..
"Maybe I can go tomorrow." Mariko suggested, "I'll be better prepared anyway and I can say bye to Phoebe."
Micah nodded, still looking at the ground. Stupid stupid stupid stupid… He continued in his head. "Oh! Yeah, I guess.."
Mariko went a little bit closer, "Why are you sad?"
Micah looked up at her. "Because you're leaving and…well…I don't want you to."
"There are a lot of things that we want." Mariko said, "We can't always have them."
(This is the part where Topaz screams KISSS)
He nodded. It's way too difficult to change her opinion.. "Yeah…is there something I can do to make you stay?"
"Nothing you haven't already done. Oh, hold on." Mariko reached over and fluffed his hair. "Now it's nothing."
She touched my hair she touched my hair she touched my hair… Micah's face went pink.
KISSSSS
Mariko laughed, "It was so weird seeing the ends of your hair green, but now that it doesn't have the green tips, it feels a little strange. Like it's not really you." she inspected his face, "I'm sure it is you, though."
"Don't worry, it's still me." Micah smiled at her. Okay…the conversation has changed…
KISS GODAMMIT)
"I know." Mari tapped her eyes, "I have a scanner."
"Oh…that's cool…" Micah responded, looking back at Mari.
KISS GODAMMIT)
(they're too awkward it might be a while)
Mariko pressed her lips together, "You can be weirded out if you want to. It's not that cool."
"No, I'm serious. It's cool, a little creepy, but cool." Micah's face went a little more pink.
NO KISSS NIWW
Mariko blushed, "I guess. Are you feeling better?"
He nodded. "Still can't walk well, but other than that yeah." Micah didn't dare tell her about the VR thing.
