IC: Origami therapy

[thekingsgambit]

[away from some of the post-holiday mingling, one emo exiled prince is spending some quiet time inside his cabin, sitting at the table in the common room. the table is decorated with various multi-colored shapes designed from folded paper and a reasonable stack of not-yet-folded paper sits near his elbow. he starts making the creases for his next creation, expecting to be uninterrupted for the next hour or so...]

-- I told you it does not matter!

I'm just worried about you, okay? You're my friend, and I don't want you to hurt on your own. You don't have to trust me at all, but I want you too. Because I trust you.

[pausing then pulling something out of her pocket and setting down a nice compact] You're not gonna believe me... But that's my life. Right there, and I trust you with it.

[still grappling with his brief loss of control. but manages to glance at compact after a long while and then back to Usagi]

... I do not understand.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

It's a long story, but there's a crystal in there. It's called the Silver Crystal, and it's the source of my magic and my life. If something happens to it... Well, you know. And I trust you with it.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

So that's how you can -- Why are you giving this to me?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Right. Because I trust you. And, well, I can't give it to you unless you want me around you all the time, every day-- Not that I'd mind, but I've had enough visits to the boys showers already. But you can do whatever you want with it right now. I won't stop you.

[picks up compact]

You can trust me with something such as this just like that?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[cool as cucumber~]

I wouldn't just hand it out to anyone, but yeah, just like that.

[is very quiet for a minute or so and seems as if he is considering opening it... and he then offers it back to her, looking much more subdued]

... Thank you, Usagi.

[taking it back and pocketing, calm as ever]

You're welcome, Lelouch.

[looks back at table]

So are you content with your stars or do you want to try your hand at the style I suggested?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Umm, I could watch and try it?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

It works better if you test out the steps while you watch.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay. I'll try it.

[grabbing a piece of paper and looking expectantly at]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

The trick to it lies in the initial creases. You want to make certain you do not make mistakes or the main creases will not be as crisp.

[haha i so can't bs this. um much origami skillz go here?]

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[watching, mimicking, screwing up badly and not noticing it, SRS CONCENTRATION GOES HERE]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[peering at disaster you call a star :\]

At least you are determined...

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[it is beautiful, stop hating!]

--Huh? [looking down] Oh... Whoops.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[taking her "star" for a moment and fixing it as best he can]

Perhaps your plan of combining the two elements is more suitable.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Eheh, yeah! I can do the little ones! It just takes a few tries!

[trying right now, just you wait and see for this beautiful star mister]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was beginning to wonder if we should not consider a smaller jar.

[makes amazing star flowers in a gay display of gayness.]

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Hey! Hey, what's that? I can so fill up that jar, watch me!

[o hay my homo ping! pinch, pinch... UHO II STAR DA!!] Look, I did it! Isn't it awesome?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[smiling lightly at her eager pride]

So you did. Now do you think you will be able to get its companions to cooperate as well?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Of course! Let's see if you can pull off another one of those stars too, buster.

[at it again \o/]
