We Can Help Each Other || Banzai and Meg
Meg felt weak, tired, disgusting. Having spent the last three days in a dark dungeon alone, all she wanted to do anymore was shower and sleep. But she did not want to have to do this alone. Being alone again might have meant that he would come back and torture her about things in her past. It might mean that she would completely break and lose all sense of confidence that she had over her life anymore. She couldn't bother Shenzi with it anymore; she bothered the girl too much as it was. And she was not comfortable enough yet with Robin to be as vulnerable as she was around him. The only one left, the only one she found that she actually wanted to be around, was Banzai.
For the first time in a long time, Meg wanted to be comforted. Coddled. She wanted to feel wanted, and for something other than just sex. And Banzai gave her that. Even though the feeling that he claimed he had for her and the feelings she knew she had for him scared Meg, he was the only person at the school that she wanted to be around. Mustering what strength she had, Meg walked herself up to Banzai's bedroom door. A small part of the back of her mind wondered how many women he had taken across the threshold, but just a very small part. Meg knew that she would have no grounds to judge him on his choice in sexual partners. She was positive that her track record was worse than his. She knocked gently on his door, and in a weak and quiet voice said, "Banzai, it's Meg."
