Day 3, overnight

[snackcakeordeath]

[Just before the time votes generally get announced, the smoke alarm in the basement starts giving an ear-splitting buzz. Hope you weren't trying to get some quiet time in your dressing room, since for a good five, ten minutes, it is not very quiet.

[Then, thankfully, the alarm shuts off abruptly. A moment later, Little Debbie herself comes shrieking over the monitors. She looks furious.]

What in the world do you devil squares think you're doing!? You had to do this today? Really? First, the cold fishest of dates, then the world's most boringest voting, and now you're messing up our stuff? Don't you know what all we're dealing with here!?

Seriously, if it wasn't such an important day, you guys'd be in sooo much trouble! So give your praises for my my sweet fucking demeanor-slash-absolute lack of time right now for dealing with this dollar bin garbage, and start getting your keisters in gear! Romance is a legitimate genre, just look at the book sales! And I want a piece of that Fabio pie! So you nutty buddies are gonna get out there, you're gonna date, there's gonna be some sparks, and we're gonna get top trending numbers tomorrow, or else!

[The girl stomps her foot, near tantrum; Swiss Miss takes over.]

Whatever you think you've done, it did not work. No more mini-marshmallows until you improve. Marshmallows are for closers.



PS, Kimi and Elise are dead.

[Glances down at their held hands. Seems to think about something for a moment.]

...Where do you want to go?

[i_like_ike]

To the room with the fireplace. I'd like to take a look at your injury as well.

[you_like_ike]

[Just going to lead him by the hand then.]

Alright. But I think we should be back with our healers before the injury becomes a problem.

[i_like_ike]

I would like to think that as well, but just in case.

[you_like_ike]

Let's get you warmed up first.

[Fireplace feels nice. Ike sits down on the floor facing it, tugging on Soren's hand to guide him down with him.]

Sit in front of me.

[i_like_ike]

[Don't have to tell him twice. He sits on down.]

[you_like_ike]

[Pulls his cape around to cover Soren, then wraps his beefy arms around him, bringing him up against his chest.]

...Is this better?

[i_like_ike]

[Leans into him.]

Yes. This is... nice.

[you_like_ike]

[Idly rubs warmth into Soren's arms.]

...I think I'm starting to understand this "dating" thing.

[i_like_ike]

...Are you?

Well, I suppose you must be. In fact, it seems like you're a natural.

[you_like_ike]

Well. I'm not doing anything special, so I still don't get why I'm ahead on the scores.

[Sighs. He's very tired.]

Anyway, I figured not everyone is as possessive and demanding as Aimee is with me. But some people here seem to want to at least be close to me.

[i_like_ike]

That's not so different from back home. You're very charismatic.

[you_like_ike]

[Wearily lowers his head to Soren's shoulder. He might actually sleep???]

I don't think it's the same... it isn't just business or using me as the head of an army anymore.

[i_like_ike]

[This is probably the best thing that has ever happened to Soren.]

People like you.

[you_like_ike]

[Sighs/yawns and relaxes his hold, though his arms are still around him.]

Sorry, I'm really tired all of the sudden... I might wind up falling asleep on you.

If you get too warm, you can just push me over...

[i_like_ike]

[Reaches up and pats Ike's arm, that being all that he can really reach in this position.]

Good night, Ike.

[you_like_ike]

[Aaaaand he's out. Amazingly sudden for someone with sleep issues. Sorry if he's slouching his weight on you Soren.]
