"I was just wondering," I say softly and lowly in a whisper that obviously means no harm. "I was worried that I was imposing on you is all, Neku." But none the less I walk back into the bathroom and grab my jeans from where I left them.
"I'll leave if you want me too."

Gahhhhhhh. I wanted to go over to the nearest wall and bang my head against it repeatedly.
"No, no, that's not what I.... ugh." I sighed. "You're not imposing on me, Namine. I'm sorry I snapped at you; I just.... I had a pretty trying day today." I paused. "And before you go off about it being 'cause of you, it wasn't."
Were all high-class girls like this?

"Actually... I was gonna ask if you wanted me to rub the stress out of your shoulders, but that works too..." I return to next to him. ''So... Which part of your life is bugging you. The normal side or the Other side?"

I sighed, collapsed into one of my big, mismatched, overstuffed chairs, and put a hand to my forehead. "Honestly? Both," I said. "And this whole Code Beta thing is getting to me. These things don't happen very often, y'know. Ifrit's on the loose, and that's making Lea edgy, which doesn't do a damn bit of good for anyone who has to deal with him twenty-four/seven." I growled. "And then there's the Network. We're an organization that's supposed to help people, but did you see any of those asses volunteering theirs? I didn't either. And most of them have been members longer than I've known I was an Otherborn."
I didnt' mean to spill all my problems out, but goddamn it, they were coming out, here and now.
"Y'know, I never asked for this goddamn job, but I was determined to do the best I could at it - but what kind of a leader am I if I can't even get people to save their own skins? They'd rather put their heads in holes until Ifrit and his army storm right over us and put us into Alpha for the first time in two hundred goddamn fucking years." I slammed a fist into the arm of my chair. "It's driving me crazy! I can't trust anyone to do anything except expect me to fix it all for them. It's like herding a horde of screaming, feral cats towards a bath full of icewater."

"Neku..." I shake my head and then I sigh and get on my knees next to the chair. My hands take his fist and uncurl it slowly. "I don't know how many times I'm going to say this this week... But you're not doing it alone... You've got Shiki and me and Sora and Aya and that hyper dude and Noctis, he wasn't at the meeting, but I'm sure he's up for helping. And of course Lea... And, um... Aqua... You're not alone in this... We just need to figure out a way to take some of the weight off your shoulders, you need that... I can tell." I set his hand next to his lap silently.

I watched her, honestly a bit shocked.
"Um... thanks, Namine," I said, her list of all of the people I had on my side helping to lift my spirits a bit. Take the weight off? I guess I did need someone to do that.
"That's why I hired you, I suppose," I said, putting the joking tone back into my voice. Somehow, it wasn't as forced as I was worried it would be.
I smiled. I wasn't used to that.

Wow. That actually worked, its all true, but that worked, "Now." I say playing along with the joke. "Can I get you anything while I'm up?" Although I'm seriously wondering. And... If he keeps smiling like this I may... End up crushing on him after all.

I stretched, cracking my neck, arms, shoulders.... man. I must've been tense.
"Well... seeya in the morning, Namine."

"Goodnight Neku," I stand as well and head for my place on the couch. Not realizing I'll be cold until I'm laying down and half asleep. "Whatever."

I watched her, then sighed. I grabbed an extra lanket from my room, threw it over her, then went back o my own bed and collapsed.

I was going to say thanks when he went to his own room, so instead i smile and curl up. I could totally get used to this. Shortly I fall asleep.

I went to sleep pretty quickly; always have.
Somehow, I go the feeling that interesting times were ahead...
((We wanna continue on to tomorrow morning? Or close it out here?))
