37 Howls: Aftermath

[coyote_walking]

That was... well... I'm glad it's over.




Thomas... I have to talk to you. About the mistletoe curse.






Hey, look. No hard feelings, right? This doesn't have to affect our friendship at all. It was just a stupid curse, right?






I, um... just want you to know that as far as I'm concerned, that never happened. I mean, it did, but it was just the curse and not something, well... real. I just don't want us feeling all awkward about it okay?

Yeah, but sweet.

Re: Private

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah, I just wish they'd drop the denial and just hook up already.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I think Kirk might have something to say about that. And... who's Brennan dating? Rachel. Yeah.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah. You know they're both stand-ins.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

You think so? I'm not so sure.

At least not with Kirk. I think Brennan would be with Shal in a second if she'd have him.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I know he would. I feel bad for the guy.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't know if she'll ever let herself be with him.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I know what it is. Kirk fills some void she didn't know was there. If she stays with him, she doesn't have to lose it. If she chooses Brennan, she does. If she stays with Kirk, Brennan will never leave her side anyway, so she wins all around.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Not sure I can argue with her thinking there - hard as it is on Brennan.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

She's using him and she doesn't even realize it.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it's that simple.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I know where he is, okay?

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

She loves him. You know, he hasn't slept with anyone since that time when they were cursed.

And he reeks of love.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

My nose isn't as good as yours in that respect.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

Well, it can't burn you, either.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No, it can't. I'm sorry.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

What? You wish it did? It sucks.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No. I mean, I'm sorry for you. It must be terrible.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I don't need pity, Mercy. It's just part of what I am.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's not pity, Thomas.

I'm not sitting here going, "oh poor little Thomas, to have to deal with such a horrible thing".

It's empathy. I feel for you. And I just... wish there was something I could do to change it.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

Well there isn't.

Re: Private

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I know.

Doesn't stop me from wishing there was.

Just like you wish you could help me when I'm feeling bad.

Private

[prodigalvampire]

I know.

So, anyway... Christmas?
