[There's shallow breathing on the line, and maybe if you listen really closely, you might even be able to hear Neil gulp.]

Uh... don't think I'm goin' out today.

Sorry I'm missing work or whatever. I'm... not feeling... uh.

Just, can't.

[And that's it.]

Scared I'd end up kissing you? I'm hurt, really.

N-- er, I... uh.

[HOW DO WORDS WORK AGAIN.]

Not... you specifically?

[ She does enjoy this reaction, she really does. ]

Well. You shouldn't. I'll have y' know that I'm an excellent kisser.

[ Pause. ] What's so scary, then?

[Oh, he doesn't doubt your skills, Amy. He's thought about them in the hypothetical more than he'll care to admit.]

Just don't wanna make anybody mad. Stuff gets weird with curses like this.

It's a curse. Who'd get mad?

...Lucy.

Lucy?

[ Pause. Pauuuse. Ooooh. ] Your girlfriend?

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-- no. Yes. Sorta. Maybe? I dunno.

Gotcha. Your sorta maybe girlfriend. Like Rory was my friend-boyfriend.

W-we're not engaged. [He feels like he has to specify.]

Neither were Rory and I when he was still my friend-not-quite-boyfriend.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, kinda like that, then, I guess.

[identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
So y' don't want to hurt her, yeah? 's nice of you.

[private.]

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, 's the idea. She kinda freaked last time a curse made me do... stuff.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Marriage curse thing freaked her out. Kinda talking again now, but it's... weird.

[identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Talking can do that. [ Amy does not like talking about feelings all that much, okay. ]

[private.]

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. 'S better than the silent treatment thing though, I guess.

[Something of a frustrated sigh, here.]

Girls're hard.

[No offence, Amy.]

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? [No one's ever said as much to him before. Boys are supposed to be the ones who make sense.]

[identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Like, you offer them sex without strings, they want to marry you. Or not have sex at all. Blokes, really.
