[SO GUESS WHAT PEOPLE-WHO-LIVE-IN-ALLEN'S-HOUSE-THAT-USED-TO-BELONG-TO-GUTS

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

Which means that the pitter-patter of feet is making its way down the hall, to your room...

and landing on your bed.]

Wake UP! Jeez, 's already 6 AM you sleep too much!

[ooc; OPEN FOR EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE and yes Timothy's yelling can be heard throughout the house.

Edit: Tree thread!]

[Yeah that poor dog doesn't even know wtf is going on, so he appreciates the comfort]

[Eventually Allen will step through into the living room, hesitating at the door since he knows...he really screwed up. Like really screwed up]

[I know man, just gets stuck in a random new place and then two dudes just start fighting. Also brightly coloured paper. It's a horrible day for it ;;

He's just going to devote his attention to the dog, for a few more minutes, even though he's fully aware of Allen having returned. He's not sure what, if anything he should say, and he sort of thinks Allen owes owes it to him to try first]

[....dogs are colorblind.]

I'm...

I'm sorry, Arthur. You deserve a better Christmas...than this.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[I'm aware gighui, and yet my dogs are fascinated by the stuff]

It isn't even my holiday, so that part of it matters not.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It's still supposed to be a nice day for people. And you came all this way out here and...[I suck okay ;; ]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

...Were an idiot, as usual. That you did so on this particular day, isn't what has upset me, Allen.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Is it that I did it at all?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

That was...Startling behaviour, to say it kindly.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I know..I was...incorrect to act in such a way.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

And let me guess, you did not mean any of it?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[he gives him a look of frustration - he can tell you're being sarcastic there B| ]

I did not.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[He can't help it ;; It was bothered him, and he pinches the bridge of his nose lightly]

Then why...

And your actions? You did not mean those, either?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I just...I wasn't really thinking about them. I...I told you before, Christmas is not a very good day for me.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Yes, and I find that a very poor excuse.

[But he's not beyond forgiving you, so] ...You never answered my question.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I never said it wasn't..

...What question?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

...

Whether or not you meant your other actions.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...Besides telling you to stop laughing at the name, no.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Not quite...What I meant.

[Since he said actions, there's a long pause here, and then...hesitantly] Have you lost...Interest? That is, in me?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

What?!

No! Why would you think that?!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[He's startled by the strong reaction to that, and looks at him properly for the first time this conversation. Now he feels a bit embarrassed for asking, so he'll lift his chin a little to compensate]

You simply...Don't behave like one who holds affection for another.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? How don't I act like I do?!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

You do not give affection, to start! And you...Wished to take things slowly, but cannot give any sort of...

[No this is too hard ;; Hi doggy, you can have his embarrassed and irritated attention once more]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But...most of the times we have met since then have been in public...

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[That's a light glare]

And what should that matter?! [It's ONLY HAND HOLDING D<] Unless you are wishing to hide something?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I don't wish to hide anything! But where I'm from it's ungentlemanly and inappropriate to do those sorts of things in public!
