[peris]

you couldve texted me

[tempornado]

would you have agreed to see me?

[peris]

maybe not.

but we couldve talked if thats waht you wanted

[tempornado]

are you still scared of me?

[peris]

im scared of everyone

[tempornado]

why? i thought i proved that i'm pretty harmless

[peris]

i dont think youre dangerous. im just not comfortable around people. even when theyre nice. its tiring

[tempornado]

there's not one person you dont find tiring?

[peris]

havent had the chance to meet one

[tempornado]

maybe, if you tried, you would? you don't have to see anyone twice, if they tired you out.

[peris]

i feel sick thinking about it

[tempornado]

what kind of sick?

[peris]

just. sick. stomach twisting

[tempornado]

what if i was to not look at you? i'll put on a blindfold, sit on the floor, not move. would that work? you'd have complete control.

[peris]

ive never tried that... you would do this for me?

[tempornado]

yeah, sure, it's not really a hardship for me. you're not going to steal from me or anything, are you? not that i've got anything to steal anyway.

i'd like you to be able to trust someone. i'd like it if it was me.

[peris]

of course not

why?

[tempornado]

good, didn't think so anyway

why? because i have no one to trust, either, but i feel like i can trust you. so i'd like it to be a mutual thing, if that's possible.

i kinda have no one else.

[peris]

okay. we can try

[tempornado]

oh! cool, cool cool.

When? i'll be ready.

[peris]

now, i guess

i want to see if it helps.

[tempornado]

okay, i'll find something to blindfold myself, then. I'll sit on my bed. You can come in whenever you're ready.

[ And he does exactly that, tying two ties (time traveling requires all sorts of interesting fashion) around his head to block his vision, as well as keeping his eyes closed beyond the makeshift blindfold. ]

[ mingyu's heart is racing when he stands at the door. he's nervous. he's not sure the blindfold will help. it might make them both feel stupid, and embarrassed, and maybe then he'll never want to see mingyu again.

that seems likely.

he steps inside the room. ]

Hi.

[tempornado]

[ Hyojung waits patiently, back to the headboard, sitting cross-legged, and he hears nothing until he hears a voice. Then, he smiles, keeping his eyes closed, tipping his head back a little. ]

Hi. Sorry about the mess.

[ His room wasn't all that messy, truly, because he kept most of his belongings in a couple of bags. But there was a wetsuit drying by the window and it made the room smell of ocean and soap at the same time, and there probably was a couple pairs of socks and underwear lying around. ]

You can sit wherever you like. Are you doing okay?
