They didn't. Hopefully they just couldn't change their vote in time.

[ ... ]

Do you know why you're not satisfied?

[fergalicious]

[ She pets a dog almost absentmindedly. ]

I think I'm trying to piece it out still. Sit next to me, Takeru?

[dotcom]

[ ...

he'll go over and settle down. hello doggo ]

[fergalicious]

[ The doggo squirms out of Medb's lap the moment Takeru is near enough. Hello, new friend!! Or old friend. I don't know Takeru's life or how many times he's come to seen the dogs this week.

Point is, the dog is attacking Takeru with love now.

Medb just watches this happen. ]

[dotcom]

[ i have an icon for this



but he accepts this dog. ]

[fergalicious]

[ THE GAP MOE



This is so cute it make Medb smile genuinely. She sighs after a moment. ]

Takeru, what is it you think I want from you?

[dotcom]

I don't know yet, honestly.

[ he pets this baby. ]

You haven't really hit on me.

1/2

[fergalicious]

[ Medb looks up at the ceiling. The sky? Whatever this outside-looking room has. And mutters something under her breath before she gives him an exasperated look. ]

I thought I didn't have to be as obvious with you.

[fergalicious]

[ She reaches over and pets the dog, too. ]

Would you avoid me if I did?

[dotcom]

[ he blinks

and then shakes his head. ]

Not really. But if you're okay with how we are, you don't have to change anything.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb is someone who always wants for more. Cannot express how much greed fits her.

She smiles at him. ]

I'll be plain, then, because you couldn't pick up what I was putting down.

[ She reaches over and touches his cheek. ]

I like you, Takeru. I like that you're smart. I like that you're mean. I don't mind that you're a sadist. I love it when you're brutal. There are many things I would love to do with you, but I don't force those types of things.

[ Because she has no trouble finding people to warm a bed with. ]

I want to spend time with you more than that.

[dotcom]

[ oh

it's funny at the things you don't notice when you are very blatantly ignoring any kind of relationship, even friendship. ]

We can keep spending time together then.

[ the dog nudges at them, but it's a little hard to pet in this current position. ]

Apparently I'm shit company though.

[fergalicious]

[ It's no inhibitions week, so despite what she just said and because he hasn't moved away from her hand, she leans in enough to press her lips against his in a soft kiss. ]

I don't think you are.

[dotcom]

[ i hate you, and i also hate that it's no inhibitions week, because that just means he doesn't move away like he had done every other time she's tried to grab hold of him.

there's a second, where it seems like he's going to lean in to kiss back



and then a large labradoodles crashes into him and he loses balance. ]

[fergalicious]

[ you're so funny, francy. i'll let you have this.

It's victory enough, and she blinks almost comically as Takeru is bowled over. She smiles still. ]

I think the dog likes you more than I do.

[dotcom]

[ he is just allowing the dog to lick at him, and he huffs. but he doesn't seem that put out by it. ]

I'm sure if you pay attention to it, it'll ditch me for you.

[ dogs just want attention. ]

[fergalicious]

Would I do that to you when you like dogs so much?

[ She tilts her head with a smile. ]

What if I want to pay more attention to you instead?

[ You haven't really hit on me. Is this hitting hard enough? ]

[dotcom]

[ oh this is hurting the francy ]

You really took it as a challenge.

[ it's a little funny, in a way, even if he's kind of bewildered. ]

What kind of attention do you want?

[fergalicious]

[ you know what medb is like. i don't know what to tell you.

anyway, ]

I know you're smarter than that.

[ She already spelled it out for him. Does she have to do it again? ]

[dotcom]

No, I get that.

[ the dog curls up at his side. ]

I just also know what relationships are like here.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb beckons for a dog to come to her as she thinks about how she wants to answer this. ]

What kind of attention are you willing to give? Let's start with that.

[ He is one of the more private people here and keeps himself pretty removed. It's not hard to see that. ]

I want so many things, but I'm not going to be unreasonable, so if you want to draw your lines....

[ This is the time for him to do it before she starts taking what she can. ]

[dotcom]

I think I'd just tell you no.

[ he's pretty good at stopping things he doesn't want to happen, honestly. people joke that he's bullyable but if he truly wants you to stop he will. make you stop. ]

It'll be annoying.

[fergalicious]

[ She gathers a puppy into her arms. ]

Is that a no? Or are you saying you're fine with me up until a certain point? And then you'll say no when it becomes too annoying for you?

[ Just so she's clear.

Because she thinks if Takeru is going to say no, he'd flat out say so instead of going, "I think." ]

[dotcom]

I'm not really an affectionate person.

[ like. emotionally and physically. people call him tsun a lot but honestly, the tsundere is only to very specific people because otherwise he is, legitimately, just an asshole. ]

But I think I need to start letting up a little here. I'm not getting anything from acting like I normally would back home. But that doesn't mean I'll just be fine with just anyone.

[ he's still picky and rude. ]

So, I'll just tell you when it's not okay.

[fergalicious]

[ she laughs a little when the dog licks her chin. ]

That’s fine? I don’t always need affection. Relationships aren’t the same between people, and I’m fine with helping you if you need it. I don’t mind being antagonized, but you haven’t really been mean to me in a way I don’t like, so I think we’ll be fine.

Are we good?

[ because he says he won’t just be fine with anyone, but in her mind, she isn’t just anyone. ]
