The Roof, Tuesday Night

Walter had the proper supplies for a proper brood - cigarettes, something dubious in a thermos, and a mood. He checked to ensure he wasn't interrupting anyone else's emo and went to sit down on the edge of the roof.

On the plus side, he could see properly again. On the minus side, he was really just dreadful at working out his personal life.

[ooc: Welcome to the roof o'emo house of fun.]

"Would you want me to?" He turned around to look at her back. "What did you do in the year you were gone?"

"I trained." Nadia half turned back towards him, keeping her eyes down. "And it took seven months before I got together with anyone else."

And broke it off with him to go with someone else . . . who she'd ended up killing.

See? She was right all along.

Walter stood up and walked slowly toward her, stopping well outside touching distance. "What do you want me to try, Nadia?"

This would be so damned much easier if his feelings for her had changed. There was absolutely nothing fair about his selfish wants.
nadiathesaint: (never pass)

"How long did you know? That you couldn't be with me because you'd rather be with him?"

Walter drew a deep breath. "Cally tipped the scales. And then we couldn't talk, and then you had the email from home and you were leaving."
nadiathesaint: (riiiight)

"Cally. But we . . . after . . ." Nadia took a deep breath. "Fine. You're 'in love' with someone who isn't around. What, you're just going to be a monk or something until you graduate?"

"We did. I told you this was complicated. If I could just have everything I wanted in the world, I could stay with you, and have a relationship with him, and have my cake and eat it, too."

He shrugged and looked up, deciding to blame the way his eyes felt on his new contact lens. "But that's not fair to either of you."
nadiathesaint: (bullshit)

"And who the hell are you to decide what's fair for me?"

Nadia reached up, wrapped her hand around the cross around her neck, and gave it a hard yank, snapping the chain.

She kind of wanted to throw it at him. Instead she just held it out and dropped in at his feet.

"Have fun with your vampire."

Walter flinched before he could stop himself then took a deep breath and reached for the chain he had around his neck. Wordlessly, he unclasped Nadia's medallion and held it out to her.
nadiathesaint: (doom)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-26 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Nadia took it, refusing to meet his eyes.

"I've got to go. Do something. Else."

She shoved the medallion in her pocket and left the roof without looking back.

Walter watched her go before he went back to where he had been sitting and took a long pull directly from the thermos.

He remembered what he'd told her after breaking up with Victor and wondered if maybe he shouldn't bloody well listen to himself this time. Swearing off love would probably spare a whole lot of people a whole lot of pain.
