Who: Belle and Gilbert
What: talking
Where: Belle's place.
Rating: I honestly have no idea.

Belle fidgeted nervously. Gilbert had seemed so serious. . .she was afraid of what he would say. She didn't need another rejection, but she wouldn't let it hang over her head forever. If he was going to dump her, then she was going to face it like an adult.

She hoped. After everything that had happened, she felt fragile and vulnerable.

This was not the best combination ever, so she had the window open and sat on the sill, smoking.

	Gilbert arrived at Belle's door. He shifted his weight on his feet and raised his hand to knock. he stopped, half way, and sighed. He took a deep breath, and tried again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Belle felt his mind, and slid out of the window, stubbing out her cigarette. She padded over to the door and opened it. "Hey." She smiled softly. "C'mon in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gilbert nodded. He liked Belle. he liked her a lot. And he had this overwhelming feeling of a huge gap between them. Their experiences were vastly different. He wasn't even close to being on her level. "Hey," He smiled in spite of his resistance. "How're you?" He'd wanted to greet her with a kiss, but he stood idly just inside the door, uncertain.

	Belle laughed a little. "I'm alive. Y' hungry?" She reached for his hand, his hesitation making her feel like she was going to cry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He took her hand in his, his thumb rubbing the backside of her hand. "I'm not hungry. No. Thirsty, maybe. Water?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Alright. I'll get you a bottle." She squeezed his hand, giving him a wan smile. "Sorry I dragged you all the way out here. I don't think I can deal with big crowds right now." Not after everything that's happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's fine. You know I don't mind coming out here." Gilbert sat down on the couch. Visions of past visits flashed in his head. He pushed them back, and looked to Belle, waiting for the water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She came back quickly, and handed him his water, sprawling on the couch next to him. "What's wrong, cher? Y' had somethin' to talk about?" She almost wished he'd just said whatever he had to say in the post. At least then she'd know what was wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovethybrother 2008-02-16 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Gilbert looked down, studying the bottle in his hands. With a breath, he looked up. "I like you. I like you a lot, belle. More than I've liked anyone in a long time. But I just, I can't help this feeling that I'm not, I don't know. Not qualified to be with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	Belle blinked. That was it? "Are you insane?" It was a serious question. "Why would I bother with someone I didn't think was worthy?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gilbert shook his head. "Are you a spy?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Assassin." She sighed. "Mutant assassin, at that. But that doesn't make you less than me. It just makes us different." She raked her hand through her hair. "Hell, I'm not even really working as an assassin anymore. The internet pin-up thing has kept me pretty well funded." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovethybrother 2008-02-16 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh." He wasn't sure if he was relieved or not. Assassin was still pretty far out of his league. "So, what does that mean for me? For us?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Ain't my decision t' make, cher. Can you deal with that?" She didn't want to pressure him into tell her what she wanted to hear. If it bothered him, it would be better to end it now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you're straight with me. Not sneaking around doing god knows what." Gilbert turned the water bottle in his hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't promise that. I can only promise I'll try. Shit happens, like this last time, and all I can say is that something's going on." She shuddered and closed her eyes. "Would have been dangerous for you t' know what was goin' on, and I was in no shape to talk about it, anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovethybrother 2008-02-16 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	Gilbert nodded. He didn't know what to say, and just looked out toward the window. "I don't want to lose you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't want to loose you, either. Don't worry about me, cher. I'm a tough girl." She touched his face. "Beside, this was an unusual problem." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovethybrother 2008-02-16 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	His eyes closed and his head tilted down. He drew his gaze back up to her face. The water bottle was forgotten in his hands. "What about the next time?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Shouldn't be one. I'm so done with that life." It was one good thing that had come from the whole thing. "I'm not lookin' to fight unless I have to. But I will do my best to tell you what's going on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's all I can ask," Gilbert nodded. His tongue slid across his lips and he leaned forward just enough to kiss her softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	She kissed back, moving over to curl up in his lap. "Missed you so bad, cher." She was afraid, and didn't want to let things go too far. But she felt like she owed him at least a little physical affection. After all, why he want her if she were broken? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovethybrother 2008-02-16 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm here now." He fingered his hand in her hair, shifting to accommodate her on his lap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-16 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovethybrother 2008-02-16 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded once. "You still owe me a proper date." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
