[22:02] hajime: I get up once again towards the door. Making sure it’s locked… Taking a few moments to compose myself, I walk towards Hide slowly. “Ah.. that bento box looks so awkward…”
[22:03] hide: “It’s a little silly… but trust me… she has much worse.” I smile a little.
[22:05] *** “hajime” signed off at Wed Jan 26 22:05:56 2005.
[22:07] hajime: “Oh really? But I guess since you brought me melons..” I reach out for the melon and purposely slide my hand on top of hers. “Have you ever had melon juice?”
[22:08] hide: I’m surprised when he touches me…. especially after what just happened…. “Yes…” I answer, looking up at him.
[22:10] hajime: “Good. I’ll make you some when I come home.” I grin. She looks worried though. Well that -was- an uncomfortable scene. Taking one chopstick I gatotsu the square cut melon and pop it into my mouth before moving towards the window.
[22:13] hide: I try to shake off … earlier. And just get back to enjoying this. “Oh, good, I shall look forward to that.” I smile over at him.
[22:14] hajime: Flicking the match and lighting my cigarette, I watch her again closely. “I like smoking after eating…” I start.. “It calms my nerves too, perhaps you should start as well? I will not get mad.”
[22:18] hide: “Oh… no… I don’t think I’d like smoking. I’ll just watch you, though.” I laugh at that. It’s something that I identify so much with him… the smell, the taste.
[22:19] hajime: She missed my warning… Perhaps I -am- different here in the office giving her a warning like that. “Hide… Remember your promise.” I drag on the cigarette.
[22:20] hide: “My promise… to tell you what’s on my mind?”
[22:21] hajime: “Yes… I have excellent hearing, do not worry there should be no eavesdroppers here.”
[22:24] hide: “I…. thought this would be a nice surprise, to see you here.” I say, quietly. “I know that it’s different… outside. I should have handled all of this better, I suppose.”
[22:27] hajime: I ponder for a long moment and consider her words carefully. “I wanted you here… Didn’t I ask you to come? When I ask something of you… It means that whatever the consequences are I’ll take care of it. You understand?”
[22:31] hide: “Yes… I understand.” I look at him, and get up, to stand closer to the window.
[22:35] hajime: “Since you botched -my- plans of letting everyone here know that you’re my wife…” I chuckle and hold her hand. “We’ll have to figure something out ne?”
[22:39] hide: A smile breaks across my face as I turn to look at him. “You… you were going to?” I hold on tightly to his hand. “I didn’t know that was the plan…” I laugh a little. There’s something about ‘you’re my wife’…. that makes my heart beat wildly. Even if it’s not… “We’re both clever. I’m sure we’ll think of something. And I didn’t say that I -wasn’t-, you know.”
[22:41] hajime: I don’t know why… but I felt compelled to tell her this… Her face earlier… I can’t stand seeing it. “Well perhaps I’ll get that ahou transferred.. Then we can start over again. Tokio never visits here so..” No I don’t want to tell her it’s safe… Because it’s not that. “Yes do visit me once in a while.”
[22:45] hide: “I would like to visit you here…” I say. “It’s nice to see you.. outside. Not that I don’t like seeing you at home… ” I laugh.
[22:48] hajime: “Good… Just be prepared for a scowl or two. I don’t usually have good days.” I move from the window to the side of the wall and pull her close. Right here in between the two windows and the doors locked no one can see us. Although to be honest, there’s really no reason to do this.. well there is only one. but until that’s cleared up. “Thanks for lunch. It’s been so long since I’ve shared a meal here in the office.”
[22:51] hide: “Ah, you know it takes more than you scowling to scare me off.” I say, secure in his arms. “I’ll have to bring you lunch again, though.”
[22:53] hajime: Feigning a frown, I turn her to face me. “Most people say it’s rather effective.. The scowling.” Kissing her forehead I let go and start putting the bento boxes away. “Your writer has weird taste.. Make sure you tell her that.”
[22:55] SafetyGirl0: “I tell her that -often-… among other things.” I help him with the boxes, gathering them all together. “I shall see you later, then?”
[22:58] hajime: “No.. not later… and probably not tomorrow either. I’m still a bit angry at a few things and an old man wants to meet with me soon about a stupid document.” Shaking my head in frustration, I hand her the leftovers. “Sorry I’m being brief.”
[23:00] hide: “No.. no… that’s fine. When you can. I’ll be there.” I smile at him, and briefly touch his arm.
[23:02] hajime: She touches my arm and I feel a bit more relieved. I lead us to the door and take a moment to kiss her before opening it. “You’ll have to go out by yourself, for my plan to work next time.” I give her a slight grin before opening the door. (OOC: hide can end the IM)
[23:03] hide: I smile at him before I go out the door, and exit. (end scene)
