66. ‘’I thought I’d never see you again” hug

                                          Do Earth years just feel longer to Irkens?

   How many years had it been since she crashed back on Earth? Did it really take her this long to finally overcome her hidden loneliness and admit that she actually missed someone?

   Oh, how long a journey: first, Gaz said Dib wasn’t home, but at Kollege, supposedly a skool for young adults. In searching that school the entire day, she couldn’t seem to find him, only to be kicked off campus for running around without a pass from the administration office. Next, it was raining? How awful could it get?

   To her luck, walking home from said Kollege was the very person she was looking for; who could look past that same scythe-shaped hair? Not even caring if her disguise was faltering from the rain, Tak has absentmindedly ran over to embrace the other. It was in her luck that her disguise was actually tall enough for her face to bury into his shoulder.

   Todd had been doing well stumbling along the path, despite his body protesting movements. He had been doing well that is until his ankle finally gave out on him and he wobbled, falling to his knees. His hand coming up to rest on the wall next to him to steady himself. He hadn't realized realize anyone was there at first when he originally had fallen, his eyes closed tightly and his breathing a little abnormal. His words had tumbled from his mouth the moment he felt someone next to him. It was habit really.

   The mention of an ambulance had Todd's eyes snap open and turning his head to the other. He quickly shook his head-- probably shouldn't have done that, as a wave of dizziness hit him. A small groan escaping him before he could contain it and his eyes closing for a brief moment. "N-No I'm fine. I've had worse." He offered a smile before glancing down at the ground. He needed to get up, show that he was fine.

   Swallowing nervously he went to get up off the ground, using the wall as support. He was favoring one side as to not aggravate the obviously sprained ankle. Todd had hoped things would be easier and better after high school, after leaving that God forsaken place that he could barely call a home. However, trouble still had a way of following him around and beating him to the ground. At least it wasn't anything to horrible... all it had been was some violent shoving and teasing. A fight to keep his balance, and doing so he had twisted his ankle and hit the ground hard before they had left him alone.

[Text: Junior] I can’t do this anymore. [Text: Junior] You just…you really fucking frustrate me sometimes. [Text: Junior] If you can’t stop sending me mixed signals, then I’m cutting everything off.

[TXT | Dib]: Excuse you? Sit down and read this wall of text I’m about to send you, fat-head.

[TXT | Dib]: You’re absolutely amazing. Brilliant. You’re intelligent. Honestly, it’s astonishing that you would even consider talking to me when you could be neck-deep in other women. Do you want to know WHY I send “mixed signals” as you call them? I’m scared. I’m REALLY scared of romance. Of this stupid thing called love. If we were to wed, I would have to watch you grow old, grow your first gray hair, I would have to watch you slowly wither and die on life support while my youth remains and my mind expands. But I can’t tear myself away from you. You’re charming, you’re nice, honestly I wish you would just surprise yourself at my front door and rip my shirt off, and say sweet things, say that I’m wanted and loved while you do things to me.
