Just 'cuz we're friends and we say that we're friends doesn't mean my feelings for you magically disappeared that day. ( a beat. ) — I made a truce with Cait for Vi's sake, but that doesn't mean she and I are now palsy walsy. I still fucking hate her and I still want back in the ocean.
Strong feelings just don't go poof 'cuz you agreed to somethin'. It takes time for it to go away. ... If you want it to go away. Or if it can.
( she is attempting to her keep her voice strong and while that it is, there's some quiverness mixed in. ) — This is what I mean by, you can't help me with this. You can take me your place, hope I sleep, and everythin' else after that? It's on me.

Chizuru tries to think about it while she's walking here. It kind of feels that if all of that is true, then she should be just as troubled as Jinx is about all of this. And.. it's not like she isn't, but she finds most of her worried feelings being more about Jinx's current state than about anything Chizuru herself is feeling. She bites her lower lip a little as she thinks about it. Is it just that something is wrong with Chizuru herself..?
...
She doesn't say anything about it, not out loud. Instead there's just silence, and then a quiet: ]
I'm sorry if I'm hurting you.
[ At least it doesn't sound like she's freaking out again. Not that there isn't some sadness in her tone, but at least she isn't crying either. She's still just.. slowly walking and supporting Jinx, even with the quiet apology. ]
no subject
( she finally turns to glance at the other now, noticing her less chipper mood and look. jinx nudges her linked arm to hers with a light smile of reassurance. )
C'mon, buck up. It's not your fault the love game is whacko. It's what it does, y'know? It sneaks up on us when we least expect it, and then we gotta deal with the bang afterwards. I know a lotta about bombs and lemme tell ya: truth and love bombs are the deadliest shit out there.
no subject
She's still looking a little sad, but at least there's a tiny smile in it too. Maybe it's since Jinx is approaching this entire thing so kindly. ]
I still feel a little bit guilty. [ She admits - doing her best to be honest here, and to remain calm about it at the same time. It's a difficult tightrope to navigate, but so far it's not going too badly. ] Or maybe it's just that I wish there was something I could do for you. But.. maybe all I can do is just root for you to feel better.
[ Because Chizuru wants her to! She doesn't want Jinx to get hung up, or to have to deal with difficult feelings.
She only ever wanted the other to be happy. ]
no subject
Well hey, loving you isn't the worst thing in the world. Feels good sometimes, so it's not ALL bad!
( ... until tomorrow and she realizes everything she had said to chizuru. jinx will definitely bash her head against the wall, but what can one do? honesty is the best policy and all that. )
... Like this. This part feels nice to me. You being this close and being around me.
no subject
[ Chizuru lets out a tiny puff of breath. ]
In that case I hope you realise that I'll be here anyway. [ Even without love. Even if it might be difficult for Jinx sometimes, and even though Chizuru worries about that-- she can't just leave the other alone. ]
I'll always be there if you need help.
no subject
( her head lightly drops on the other's shoulder as they walk and also grateful her home is slowly coming into view. )
no subject
[ Her voice is a little quiet, but it doesn't sound like Chizuru is lying. She'd look at the other, but.. well, that's kind of hard when Jinx's head is on her shoulder, so instead Chizuru looks right ahead, at the slowly approaching house. ]
.. or, um.. I'm a little worried about you. [ Since that had been obvious. It's the entire reason Chizuru came to look for the other girl, after all. And she's a little more worried knowing about all the feelings Jinx is dealing with. ] But aside from that, I feel pretty happy right now.
no subject
It's really all I've ever wanted when it comes to you, y'know?
no subject
B-But she does her best to take it all the same without rejecting it. Even if she can't do it without squirming. Baby steps. ]
I-I'm sorry if I made you worry about that.. I promise I'm usually feeling pretty alright. [ Big exceptions aside. You know, like.. that one confrontration they had.. But Chizuru sure is brushing that under the rug right now, not wanting Jinx to have to think about it. ] Even though I worry about other people a lot, it's just because I care about them. It's because they make me happy.
no subject
And I'm gonna ask you again: When does Chizuru does somethin' that makes Chizuru happy? You need to love yourself, give yourself rewards and junk. It'll make you feel good.
no subject
There's a little pause - though helpfully covered up by the fact they're in front of the house now, and Chizuru needs a moment to try and grab her keys while also not really letting go of Jinx - if not just since the other looks like she'll drop right onto the ground and fall asleep there if Chizuru isn't supporting her.
But once she's got the keys in the lock, Chizuru does glance over at Jinx again to speak up. ]
Do you really think that making yourself happy by helping others is such a bad thing..?
no subject
It's like this, Honey. ( she probably shouldn't call her that, but fuck it at this point. jinx already said so much and she's been tripping over herself with emotions this whole time. )
If I'm not around, Scorpia, Robby, Manabu, or... whoever and you're on your own for a loooong time, what will you do to make yourself happy in the meantime, huh? Who's gonna put that smile on your face if we're not here?
no subject
But it's the end that manages to catch Chizuru by surprise, her eyebrows knitting together into a concerned frown she can't help but show - her emotions always just a little too honest. ]
What do you mean? Why would I be living all by myself..? No one lives like that.
no subject
( usagi, her other bunny she keeps an eye on. not as closely she had been with chizuru, but she knows the other girl had been having some downs and probably worries if her girlfriend is next to disappear on her. and if that day comes, jinx is well prepared to throw all of her time to make sure usagi is safe, stays fed, and provide all the comfort her needs. )
I just...— I dunno. You gotta find your own happiness and not live through other's.
no subject
[ Chizuru refuses to believe that, even though she is asking it, rather than making a statement. (It's the ever-present politeness, really..)
But it's important enough to her that she's not moving further inside of the house just yet, instead seemingly rooted to the spot while she's thinking about all of this.
Even Jinx must want people around. There's no way there's even a single person out there in the world who would thrive while all alone. ]
no subject
( she doesn't even want to fathom a life without vi, sharon, wrench, her, or so many other people she made in this new life of hers. sure, the placement could be a lot better and there are some things she wishes she could change, but... compared to home? this... is a million times better. )
... But I've been on my own before. And overtime, you learn to adapt and be okay with your own company. Sorta, anyway. If it happens again, I guess I'm just prepared for that. I dunno.
( a brief pause. )
Hey, how did we get into this really downer conversation?
no subject
.. still, it seems like Jinx will get away with it without Chizuru calling her out on that thought. Instead she just briefly shakes her head after that last question, tugging on the other - gently!! - to get her fully inside and down the hallway. ]
It's okay. We don't have to think about it.
[ Because it won't happen.
Hopefully it just-- won't happen. ]
All you should be thinking about right now is getting some sleep, alright..? [ O-Only after you get to a bed though, Jinx!! Please!! ]
no subject
( a subtle hum and it seems that would be it, but then she mentions something: )
... If I had known I'd be coming over, I would had brought Buttons. They could have a sleepover.
( her keychain monkey must be so lonely without chizuru's stuffie to keep him company like they use to. she will have to find a way to get them to meet up again. ... even though sometimes being around chizuru is a slight tug in her heart. a tug that hurts but feels lovely all the same. )
