The Smiling Girl

[INCOMING CALL]

"A good time?" She giggled, brushing her messy hair out of her face. It didn’t stop from feeling a tug at her chest, but she pushed that aside and beamed. "It’s great to hear you’re back, though! And don’t worry too much about the time, I have the day off so it’s no big deal if I sleep in." A short pause.

"I mean--it's only if you were going to bed soon and--but--O-Okay then." Her face flushed in embarrassment and at his smirk, her lower lip poking out into a pout.

"I suppose it’s not. But for me it was good enough." he commented, closing his eyes for a second before letting his lips curl up. "Finally got that job at the pastry store then."

"Yeah, my co-workers are really fun to work with and talk to and they’re so nice~" River beamed with a nod. "Like I said, you should give me a call when you come into town, I can get an employee discount~"

"H-Hey, Azazel…" She didn’t tell him how good it felt to hear his voice again after so long. Wiping at her eyes some more, she beamed. "You left without saying anything, and a bouquet of flowers is hardly a way to say goodbye, ya know.

"I was fed up with that hospital. Und I could move fine again. I did not see reason to stay there." he stated, shaking his head lightly with a sigh. "I left you something." he commented, tilting his head before closing his eyes halfly at the question.

"Flowers and a note isn't enough to let me know that you're okay..." She mumbled, a small pout forming, though it was replaced with a smile once more.

She couldn’t hold back the smile on her face or the tears in her eyes when she heard the cheerful noises on the other end. She wiped at her eyes with her free hand and giggled lightly.

The little ghost bounced up and down, giving another delighted chitter as Nova leaned in and snorted at the device, giving Azazel a curious look. Who was this woman on the phone? She did not think she heard them before.

"H-Hey, Azazel..." She didn't tell him how good it felt to hear his voice again after so long. Wiping at her eyes some more, she beamed. "You left without saying anything, and a bouquet of flowers is hardly a way to say goodbye, ya know.

He had expected a text back, not a call. Yet here they were. Closing his eyes halfly, he turned his head a bit to look at the tiny ghost who stared down at the phone before finally darting forward.

She couldn't hold back the smile on her face or the tears in her eyes when she heard the cheerful noises on the other end. She wiped at her eyes with her free hand and giggled lightly.

Meeting Memes!

"Tha’ look on yer face is adorable fraulein… Y’so adorable… Y’should be illegal.. That’s it.. you’re illegal now. An’ only I am allowed to be legal with you. Everyone else should not touch you.Ansonsten werde ich ihn töten…” he muttered, squinting his eyes for a second before turning his head away with a wince.

"Azazel, you can't make someone illegal." Despite her trying to keep a straight, stern face, she couldn't help but smile at his own dopey grin. Though it was quick to fall at his own change of expressions.

"Oh.. Oh my… We’re gonna get frisky…?" he purred out, giving a dopey little smile before making a face when she stated he wasn’t allowed to move because he was hurt. Pfffff… No, no he was okay. His body was just a bit… Out of it, yes. But he was okay. "Mmmmeanie." he hummed, turning his head and staring through the room for a while. Something had happened. Something very important. But it kept slipping his mind.

Her face flushed at that. She would'e smacked him if she hadn't been so quick to remind herself that he was hurt and was too afraid that even her lightest one would hurt him. So instead she just made a face at him that looked more like a pout than anything.

"Mmmm… M’out… Did I score a homerun…?" he snorted before turning his head a bit, closing his eyes for a second. This place. He was in the hospital. He hadn’t given his consent to being here, now did he? That had been very rude of them. Very rude indeed. Giving a light scowl, he tried to push himself up, only managing to get up a little bit before he fell down again with a small laugh.

When he had begun to move, she reacted almost immediately; playing a gentle hand to his shoulder and making sure he didn't hurt himself. "Azazel, you shouldn't do that, you're still very much hurt and need time to rest and heal," She scolded softly, sitting back in her chair.

He closed his eyes for a second, listening to the other’s voice. Because yes, it was her voice. So she was truly here, wasn’t she? Then again… She was always here too, no matter where he went.

River gave him a gentle smile. Thank goodness he was alright! The doctors were right though, he was very drugged because... Baby boo? It took all her self-control not to laugh at that. She knew Azazel would never call her that ever unless he was either very drunk or drugged.
