Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ man, this is so much more embarrassing than a cookie. Is Jewel trying to tell him that this is what he wants Sam to do when he's upset or not feeling good himself? Give him more hugs?

Sam will sigh softly, though, and rest his forehead on Jewel's shoulder. ]

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Hears the sigh and frowns a bit]

No good...? I guess I'm not a very comforting sort of person, huh?

[Laughs a bit, letting go of Sam and placing his hands back in his lap]

Or maybe you don't want to be comforted? I guess I assumed.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

Did anyone comfort you for what you went through?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Not until recently...the people that would care didn't know. And the people that knew didn't care. Now that I've finally started to tell people though...yes.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

I'm glad.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

But you don't want to be comforted.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

I have never once comforted you. You've comforted me too much. It's not right for you to have to comfort me over something you went through like you did.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

...? It doesn't work like that though? I'm not going to withhold comforting a friend because they haven't comforted me 'enough'.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

You're amazing. Don't forget that. You're a very comforting person.

But I didn't share this with you to be comforted. It feels wrong to let you.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

What's wrong about it? If I want to support you...isn't that fine?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

... I just want to enjoy our time together while we have it, not make you worry.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

....all right. If that's what you want then.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

Are you upset with me...?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Upset with you...? No... It's not my place to tell you what you want or need. If you don't want comfort, it would be selfish of me to force it. So, all right. We can go back to just enjoying the festival.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

...

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

So? What should we do next? Did you want to try some of the games?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ Without a word Sam reaches out to pull Jewel tightly into a hug.

Don't mind the feeling of his fingers trembling a little bit against your back, Jewel, it's nothing, really. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Hugs back just as tightly, resting his chin on Sam's shoulder as he rubs small circles against his back]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

Sorry, Jewel... I'm trying so hard to protect you from having to deal with my own problems, I'm not respecting your ability to make your own choices on what you want and don't want to do. I'm just... afraid asking for too much.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

And if our positions were reversed? Wouldn't you want me to lean on you too?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ nods slowly. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

So, there we go. It's fine to ask for this much.

[Cards his fingers through Sam's hair slowly]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

... Thank you...

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Nothing to thank me for. I wanted to do it.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ pulls back so he can cup Jewel's face and land in line he's going to kiss him but stops.

Right... he promised himself to stop taking advantage of Jewel letting him kiss him after his confession unless he got something of a response suggesting it was fine. Since there wasn't a response at all...

Instead, he'll just gently run his thumb over Jewel's bottom lip with a small smile of gratitude and then let him go. ]

Even so... can't help but be thankful you wanted to.
