Who: Joy & Joe
What: Phone call
When: Saturday night/Sunday morning
-insert "Do or do not, there is no try" ringtone here-
"Bonjour, n'est-ce pas ceci ? Pouvoir cette attente jusqu'a... wait, Joy?"
"Oui, c'est moi." -giggles- "Sorry to call you so...early. I just needed to hear your voice."
"No, no, its fine, I'm glad you called." -rustling sounds from the bedsheets- "How are you?"
"I'm okay...I guess. I just..." -sighs- "Too much drama disturbing the Force or something. I was worried."
"With things as they are, isn't that a little understandable?" -a soft sigh- "I know that things have been busy, with Michael in the hospital, and the Agency and... Joy, are you sure that's it? I know we haven't talked much lately, but..."
"But what? I'm not allowed to call my boyfriend and make sure he's okay?" -she's trying not to sound too petulant- "I missed you. I just wanted to talk."
"No, you are allowed, you just...don't tend to call me around three in the morning." -his frown can be heard through the phone- "What's this really about?"
"That's because I tend try to go to bed before ten o'clock at night, but it's the weekend, and I--" -pause- "I don't know. I just. Can't help feeling like there's something more I should be doing. Like I don't take things seriously enough, or something. Maybe it's just me."
"More that you should be doing? You're doing the best you can do at the moment. You're in school, and you have your schoolwork to do. As it stands, nothing can really be done. So you should feel safe in the knowledge that you are doing all that you can do." -his Spock voice is starting to come to light- "All we can do is set up what we are doing now. There's nothing we can change as of this moment."
-sigh- "...that doesn't mean I have to like it."
"I know. What does Yoda have to say about this?"
"He said if worried I am, communication is key, or something. That I should talk with you about my feelings so that I don't let my fears get the better of me, because we all know where that leads." -a wry laugh- "So here I am."
"Is this that time in a relationship where we need to discuss our feelings?" -laughs softly- "I think he's right, though. Don't be afraid. The worse they can do now is tear us apart. And I won't let that happen. Even if I need to hop on a plane right now to come see you."
"I don't know, is it? I've never felt like this before, and Yoda...he's great, but I don't think he does relationships. Not this kind anyway. And Liam..." -awkward silence- "Never mind. I guess I'm just over thinking."
"...What were you going to say about Liam?"
"Nothing. He's full of himself, and I know it. I just can't help thinking that something has been bothering you, ever since I met him, and I know you always say that everything is fine, but how can everything be fine when everything is not fine?! I know that doesn't make any sense, but things are just so crazy out there, I feel like there's an elephant in the room."
"But everything <i>is</i> fine." -a pause- "...Maybe I've been a little quiet lately. I don't want to have you worried though. Or upset with me."
"I'm not upset with you. You'd tell me, if there was ever anything I did that upset you, right? Because I know I can be silly and naive, and I don't--" -deep breath- "I don't ever want you to think that I'm disrespecting you. I know you want to protect me, but I like it that you treat me like...like an equal, too, I guess. Like I'm grown up."
"Disrespecting me?" -sounds very very confused- "At no point have you ever disrespected me...I would hope the same goes for me towards you, as well. And protecting you is more...I love you, of course I want you safe. I want to make sure you're always safe. But you're not a child. And Yoda can pack quite a punch, though I know now to never laugh at the idea that you can punch me hard enough for me to feel it."
-laughs- "I love you too, Joe. I just didn't want you to think I was gonna change my mind, or I was shopping around, or something. I just missed you."
"While I may not feel the same way, Spock says that he can understand if you started shopping around. I am telling him to shut up, though, so don't take that as my own personal opinion."
"Spock can blow me." -giggles- "And I'll return the favor. I should think about booking tickets somewhere for spring break, in case things are still goofy with the Agency. Or Valentine's Day! Are you doing anything in two weeks?"
-laughs- "Spock is appalled at your language. But I like you just the way you are, so." -there's more laughter- "Hopefully they won't be. But don't go anywhere near the Agency right now, okay? We're all staying away from there for awhile...Valentine's Day. Oh. Well, I do know that I had plans with a gorgeous young woman, but..."
"I would be somewhat worried if he wasn't." -tries to catch her breath between laughs- "Don't worry, Laura already told me she had a bad feeling about things, and I got major red flags from Yoda just driving past the office on my way home from class. But now I'm curious. Tell me more about this gorgeous woman you speak of. Is she blond?"
"She is blond, how did you know? A natural blond at that."
"Figured you might have a thing for blonds. Call it a hunch."
"Only blonds? I don't know, there was this one redhead in my physics class when I was in high school..."
"Did she have green skin too?"
-laughs- "No, no green skin. She was dating this guy though. I think he works as a pharmacist now. I'm not sure, I never kept up with my classmates."
"That's too bad. You're blond girl isn't dating any pharmacists, though, is she?"
"God, I hope not. They're all egotistical pricks."
-more laughter- "Ew, no way! I much prefer my quirky workaholics, thank you very much."
"Quirky workaholics? Is that what they're calling me now?" -laughs- "Its late, but I wish you were here right now. I hate phones."
"Yeah, I know, I wish I was there too." -sighs- "So you were saying about V-day?"
"If the MTNs are running, I do have plans made. If they're not, then maybe I'll take some time off work and come to see you via plane."
"I'll be looking forward to it, then. I love you, Joe."
"I love you too. Is this where you let me get back to sleep, or do I get to hear you talk until I fall asleep with the phone in my hand?"
"I think I better say goodnight now. Thanks for being there for me."
"I'm always here for you. I love you. Good night."
"Mwah"
