weird boi talks lots

"S..orry...Ni..x..."

Even with a small pause in her speech she'd hiccup. It was painful, adding to what turmoil was going on in her head and chest. Luna felt an arm wrap around her lightly which she guessed was Nix's. She was shaking almost too violent for her to move properly but she just barely managed to get one of her own arms to wrap upwards around his hugging arm. Luna gripped tightly to his shirt trying to ground herself but it was all she could do to keep herself standing. That, and using her other arm to lean on the counter. Her head felt like it was going to explode with the images going through her head but now...they were blurry. Not detailed like they were just a few moments ago...thank god...

There you go. Getting there now.

Luna was calming down. Normally it would take much longer for these episodes to end but thanks to the man standing in front of her, hugging her even, it was ending much sooner...Maybe. She tried to breathe in and out at least through her mouth because honestly, at the moment her face was stuffed into Nix's shoulder. It was working a little, but small hiccups kept repeating now and then.

"H-heh...thank-" hic, "-you...I just...it was...so poi-" hic, "-ntless, the fighting was...what was the-" hic, "-point..."

Luna was finally hearing Nix much better now. Her hearing was a little distorted still but really...she was glad she could hear the comforting words he was saying instead of just the vague tone.

"Y-yeah...relaxing sou-" hic, "-nds nice," she said with a small nod.

"Uh...but hug for...a little bit longer..? Please? I don't think my-" hic, "-face is very...pleasant right now."

Luna's breaths became longer and easier to do as she went on. Though she had to make them as she spoke, it was better than nothing.

She carefully wrapped her arm that she was leaning on around Nix. Thankfully she could stand on her two feet now, even if they were still a tad bit wobbly.

"Heh...You're awesome..."



@Ashes

"Heh, you try, and you do great at it. I'm sorry I couldn't do as much for you when you were...trying to explain things."

Indeed, she was extremely sorry. Luna vaguely remembered her not making tooooo much sense when she was talking to him, as her mind was straying at that point. She hoped she could make up for it somehow...Maybe that comedy show or something she suggested before.

"I'll make it up to you somehow, okay..? You've done a lot for me just now already...Gotta do it..."

Luna laughed a little. She was glad her hiccups were gone, and she could breathe normally again. She still had a splitting headache though, that water she remembered Nix getting might really help...Plus a pain relief pill or something.

Before she wanted to pull away, Luna needed to give Nix a real hug, and not just the hug she's been giving him where she was gripping him like he was gonna disappear into thin air. So she lowered her arms a little and wrapped them gently around his torso while also moving her head a small bit to where it wasn't shoved into Nix's shoulder. Hopefully this was more comfortable for him.

Luna pulled a true, happy smile then. A first in a good while really.

She shook her head lightly, "I think I'm going to grab a tylenol pill or something...I'll need the water."

Her shaking was still obvious a little bit, but at that point it was just from the energy spent in a short amount of time. You know, being a bit weak in the limbs? That sort of shaky. Luna was sure she could stand properly now, and she knew she had to pull away but she was hesitant. Her face was bound to be really ugly but, heh, hugging someone is bound to get awkward at some point.

So she pulled away, but with her head lowered slightly and her eyes averting Nix's except in the case when she spoke. "Thank you for helping me. Man...I've never really...broken down in front of anyone before. I almost did once but...that was a long time ago."

Luna stepped back to give Nix space and looked at the water still on the counter, then back up at the cabinet containing the pain meds. She awkwardly took a few steps toward it and opened it, quickly grabbing a pill from the bottle inside. She put it in her mouth and down it went with a sip of water.




@Ashes

Luna heard Nix walk away and sit on the couch a few moments after she took the pill and drank the water. She didn't realize he was watching her, but she could guess why he was. He was making sure she was okay as she took the pill. Heh, that made Luna's face redden a tad bit. Nix's concern was heartwarming.

Damn you've fallen haaaaard.

Okay, Solaris, I don't think you know what 'falling haaaaard' means. That's like practically swooning over the other person. I'm not 'swooning'. You literally don't understand much human emotion. How can you say that I've fallen that hard for the guy?

You're funny. Besides, didn't you say you 'liked him a latte too'? Damn that pun was bad.

A little chuckle was let out at that. It was true, she did say that. And...she meant it. Luna shook her head a little to clear her thoughts before Nix saw when she went into the living room, regretting it a little bit as the pain flared a little. She walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, glad to see Nix comfortable. She sat down beside him, closer than she was before when they were playing the fighting game. Honestly...she was way more comfortable with him now. While nervous before about her own boundaries, she wasn't now. She was glad that she broke some ground with that. More confidence is better right?

"What did you say that comedy was that you heard of?"
