[she lets otome talk to other people - beau has other people to crash into too, and lots of wrangling, but eventually she comes back and offers her hands. take pls.]
... Hey, you. [soft, sweet. I missed you so much.]
[ And she lets their hands swing a bit once their fingers have been secured. ]
About what you would expect from a daycare, with a few other amenities. There were monitors that let us see what was happening with the rest of you, so things like the meetings and the trials. I was busy tending to injuries not long after I woke up there, and when we found the records, Leo and I stayed up a few nights to try to fully understand them, since we didn't want to risk messing up everyone's chances to come back.
... We all just really wanted to leave. Emotions ran high with that group but in the end, we really did just want to see everyone else again.
[ She pauses, then. ]
Crow told me you found my body. I'm-- so sorry about that.
You're with me now. With us now. [she's not going to think about otome being dead while she has her right here with her.] I'm gonna try not to hog all your time, but uh - but I really would... um, like you to stay with me tonight.

no subject
... Yeah. I did. I almost didn't. [Fucking Malik.] But I would've rather it had been me than like, Taichi.
no subject
[ She holds their hands up, leaving a light kiss on Beau's. ]
I wouldn't have wanted it to be either of you. But I suppose there's no point in regretting what I can't change.
no subject

[sniff.]
no subject
[ She says this without faltering or blushing at all. But also, her thought is a much softer--
I'd definitely like you to be the first thing I see when I wake up tomorrow. ]
no subject
beau flushes bright red at that? not even the first part, just the thought part. she's absolutely flustered by affection it's so stupid.]
I - um. [Get it together, holy shit.] Okay. Me too? Definitely me too.
[maybe a little shyly:] To both.
no subject
But also she's laughing, endeared. Why is Beau so adorable she can't handle this ]
Then it's a date! I'm all yours tonight.
... I did have a question, though-- about your letter. You scribbled something out?
no subject
she's still bright red.]
It's - nothing. It wasn't anything, I just spelled something wrong. [Wow it's a nice day out la la la la]
no subject
I probably shouldn't push. It's fine. ]
You know I wouldn't have judged you for that, right?
no subject
[I was just way sappier than I STOP THINKING SHE'S GOING TO HEAR YOU]
no subject
[ She just gives their joined hands a tug, moving in swiftly to kiss Beau. Her thoughts are all fondness.
Then, as she draws back-- ]
It's all right. I promise to leave it at that and you can tell me things when you really want to say them, okay?
no subject
a beat, and then, holding her hand tightly:] ... Okay.
[she's kind of nervous about it, but it'll ease after a few moments, as she starts walking again.]
... I like you a lot, Otome. [she can say that much.]
no subject
I like you a lot too, Beau. I haven't exactly given you an easy time of things.
... But you still wanted to stay with me. And that means so much more to me than I could ever say.
