Top 'o the morning, little brother!
no subject
Yeah, hi. Is there a reason you're dropping out of the air [literally] or are you just doing this for the hell of it? 'Cause if it's the second one, I don't have time for this right now.

Also, I actually do have a reason for being here, believe it or not.
no subject
Okay? What's going on?

You must stand very still for this. Trust me.
WHO ARE YOU MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
[True to his word, Travis stands completely still! No wiggling or anything. Don't attack him or anything please.]
NOT HANSHI NOPE
[Absolutely serious-faced right now, no joke.]

[Doing it on purpose, bro :D He steps closer still until their nearly toe-to-toe, and then stiffly, he raises his arms up a little. They barely move around to the back of his shoulders as he performs the World's Most Awkward Hug.
Then steps back.]

ok done lmao
...What the fuck?
[STARES BLANKLY]
/dies a little
Ah ha, jokes on you, it seems. I'm just full of laughs today, aren't I?
[Though that's mostly sarcasm.]
You should watch your back, brother.
no subject
Hilarious.
Y...yeah, got it. [WOW THAT THREW HIM OFF MORE THAN HE THOUGHT IT WOULD] Thanks. I guess.
no subject
[Another innocent smile before turning to walk away.]
no subject
Travis whirls around, reaching for the elusive whatever's-on-his-back--and finally feels that sheet of paper taped there.]
Wait. What the hell?!
[WHO IS RESPONSIBLE...]
no subject
yo ^ q ^
Which Uni is currently peeking over, eyebrows wiggling and giggles just barely contained. Guess who's probably responsible for the fuckin sign?]
Travis. Traaaavis. Traaaaaaaaaaaaviiiiiiiiiiiiissssssss.
kawaii not-daughter uAu <3
[It is all loving teasing tho promise. Travis rolls his eyes and ruffles the everloving shit out of her little mop of hair.]
moe uh...daddy-uncle?? jfc it gets confusing
[Uni shrieks, grabbing furiously at Travis' face and ears in retaliation.] Stop that, it's cheating when I have more hair than you!
I was just trying to do something nice for you, and this is how you treat me; you're lucky I'm fond of doing nice things for you so I'm not put off.
shhh dont question it
...Wait, huh? You did what now?
no subject
Um!
[SHIT. She's the worst liar, god; it'd be more believable if she wasn't squirming and sputtering so much.] Nothing! I said nothing, and I mean nothing! I'm simply choosing to spend time with you because I enjoy it! That's all! I mean it's nice to spend time with each other because we're all close right that's just how things go it's nice to do nice things for each other!
[DON'T NOTICE THE SIGN SHE'S TAPED TO YOUR JACKET, TRAVIS. DON'T DO IT. SHE'S HOPING THAT ONE DAY ASHLEY WILL SEE IT OK DON'T FUCKIN DO IT]
no subject
Uh... huh.
[good thing travis would never think to look at his back!!]
Well, yeah, that's fine, I guess! [HE'S STILL CURIOUS, BUT. He flops back onto the chair; he'll figure out what she did eventually, right? If she doesn't blurt it out first, that is.]
no subject
Of course it is! I'm glad you say so though, because I was planning on family bonding. Serious bonding of the family kind. You know what I mean.
Not, ah, the kind you see in, um...hentais...No way no no no!
A-anyway! Family, right! Spending time together, nothing absurd about it!
[Face changing from giddy to disturbing grimace (she's fighting back bile and embarrassment of the most acute kind), she leans in for the final play. A hardcore hug.
This is horrible Uni you are terrible you're going to scare the man]
akimbo is a funny word
Uh, okay, I get it--really, really, really freakin' serious bonding. Right?
[He has no idea what is wrong with her right now oh my god.
Travis is used to hugging Uni--cuddly little runt--so the hardcore hug doesn't come as a surprise. She's really putting her all into squishing his innards together, though, and it's starting to hurt a little.]
I'm not--ow. I'm not going anywhere, you know.
itis the most bizarre tbh
[She loves her shoujos tho Travis, don't take your little anime buddy away u3u
At least now she's not pulling stupid faces or squishing the shit out of him; at his little grunt of pain, she eases up and gets comfortable instead. The ruse isn't up, after all!]
You better not go anywhere! I'd follow you, riding on a bike or taking buses or whatever it would take! I'm sorry Travis, but you're stuck with me forever.
In a good way. I hope. I mean it in a good way!

really
really sucks.
her head turns around when she spots him, having never expected such a thing in her time, but— ]
no subject
[ she runs after him, short-heeled shoes making a racket on the pavement. ]
no subject
[Travis stops at turns; it's hard not to hear Yukari's shoes clacking away, really, he probably would've turned even if she hadn't called out to him.]
Oh, hey--what's up? [She's actually running to him? What's this world coming to.]
no subject
coming to a halt in front of him, yukari takes a second to gather breath. ]
... [ grins a little. only a little. barely noticeable. ] Hold still, okay?
no subject
Er. All right, I'm still.
no subject
'Kay. [ she takes one step forward. stops. steps back again and pokes him in the chest. ] And don't make a big deal about this, got it?
no subject
[Travis grins.]
Fine, fine. I'll keep my mouth shut about it, promise.
no subject
[ stepping back to her previous position, yukari clears her throat. ]
You're gonna need to bend down.
no subject
Low enough?

Travis had been expecting a quick hug and a "shut up Travis, it's nothing"--but this. He never gets this kind of contact, and it's... it's odd, recognizing that. Something does a little flip in his gut when he feels Yukari's arms around him, her head fitting in the crook of his neck like it belongs there.
He exhales, and wraps his arms around her, too, pulling her close. For once, he's not blurting out something stupid. The silence is much more pleasant than anything he could add, anyway.
Travis has nothing to say.]
no subject
I thought that... maybe... [ her voice is muffled a little, seeing as her face is still nestled in the crook of his neck. ] ...you needed this. You're a good person, Travis. Sometimes—I feel like you need someone to remind you.
no subject
Him, a good person. He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at that; after all, he's spent a good portion of his life, just... screwing it all up, tripping over his feet. He's got too much blood on his hands, even now that he's actually trying to stop fucking up all the time.
He almost asks her "why", or "do you really think so", but he doesn't know if he wants to hear those answers. Maybe he's supposed to figure that much out on his own.
It feels good to hear her say it, though. He buries his face in her hair.]
Thank you.
no subject
and let's face it: yukari's screwed up in her life, too. perhaps not on a scale as large as his, but she's shouldered just as much guilt and hurt in her young life, not the least of which is letting her best friend die almost completely alone. she should've been there; everyone should have. since then, yukari has turned her life around for the better, and she believes that travis can do the same as well. it'll take time and a lot of work, but...
she won't give up on him. ]
Don't mention it. Just don't forget.
