[ She doesn't move her hand for a few seconds. She knows she's being selfish again. Yuri sighs after a moment, the draws her hand back and stands up so she can get back onto the bed. ]
[ Yuri briefly wonders if she should just call him to say goodnight for about five minutes each night.
But that's way too corny. There's no way she could even manage that. His time is different than hers, anyway. (Lack of time? Figuring out all this timey wimey stuff is odd.) Plus, the corny factor. Battler would like it way too much if he knew she even thought about that.
...If she was going to let herself get this vulnerable with him, it would only come back to bite her in the ass, too. Given the whole situation, Yuri knew all too well that none of anything she had was going to last and that conversation with Steve she'd had...
It was better not to let herself get any more invested in this than she already was, wasn't it? It was already way too dangerous, just at this level. ]
If we go through that whole "call me" thing, you know I'm going to forget and then you'll get all mad because I said I'd call and I didn't. I'll call you if there's an emergency or something, but that's it.
[ Yuri lays down with him. Just getting swept up in their conversations tended to keep her mind off of things, but going back to sleep now... She wasn't sure how easy it would be, but she would try. She needed to calm down and act normal anyway. ]
[Battler doesn't say anything back, he hears it though, but he knows it's better to stay quiet about this kind of thing. And he falls asleep after a few more moments.]
[ Actually, he might want to check on her. She still hasn't turned it back on because that sounded an awful lot like her boyfriend asking her to move in with him. ]
Seriously she's just sitting on her bed practically looking like a goofy, lovestruck schoolgirl for the half a second before he speaks, then she immediately gets up to throw a pillow (gun-free, luckily, she learned her lesson) at him. ]
[ So the problem is the fact that it made her stupidly happy he'd even ask. Even though she knows he loves her and she knows she loves him, that's still not something that she expected. Yuri had just been planning on figuring out what she was going to do around here, she hadn't even thought that Battler would ask her that.
Yuri looks to the side, crossing her arms. Then, in a huff, she turns her back to him and starts walking to the other side of the room. ]
His gaze follows her, his expression one of confusion as he tried to figure all of this out. Yeah okay, she's dead and everything but.... they're totally together, completely, he just wants her to be closer to him after all.]
