And I'll Be With You When You Dream

[violentenvies]

[It's Sunday night! Boy, today sure has been a day, hasn't it?? Memories returned, Father's Day Gifts given, and Benjamin sure had a Time, didn't he?

Looks like it's time to find ways to cope.

Thus, the bed frames from Broadhurst dorm are being worked on being taken apart by Varian while the mattresses are becoming The New Floor.

Additionally, there's plenty to eat and drink, what with the hot pot provided by Rina, cookies that might just taste a bit burnt from Farrah, apples from Orpheus, more delicious potatoes from Maya, as well as sandwiches by Cassandra. There is also quite the variety of pie, from caramel, to bittersweet chocolate and strawberries, and several other varieties from the vending machine. Finally, there's popcorn brought in by Spongebob. If someone wants a drink, there is some delicious hot cocoa, provided by Elsa, as well as the tea brought in by Discord. There's also a variety of drinks from the vending machines.

Everyone's invited of course. There are a variety of games happening, and there's even a TV that's been wheeled down from the Library. So bring your pajamas, whatever they happen to be, and settle in for a sleepover!]

[ Peregrine looks up, a little lost in thought. ]

What? [ Looks between them. Right, this is a social event and she should socialize. Oops. That’s on her. ] Uh, sure. Don’t know if I’ll be the best company, but…

[fourbutts]

[ Janis shrugs. ]

Everyone's kinda going through it, you know? Not really expecting hot gossip about boys, it's all good.

[mayavericks]

In fact, I was rather hoping against it.

[Maya sits down on one side of Peregrine. She motions Janis to the opposite side.]

We don't even have to talk at all, if you would prefer?

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine's lips twitch lightly as she looks from one to the other. Looks at the matching bracelets that Connor'd given the two of them.

A little bluntly, a little deadpan: ] You guys know I've never really dated before, right?

[fourbutts]

I mean... [ Looks at Maya. ] I have a grand total of about one week under my belt.

[mayavericks]

My best attempt at a relationship prior to any of this was my year long rivalry with Saijo-san.

[A shrug.]

I think you are in good company.

[comeandfindme]

[ Looking between the two of them again, before just letting her shoulders slump, slightly. ]

Just as long as you don't have the wrong idea.

[fourbutts]

I mean... what idea do you think we have here?

[mayavericks]

If we have been making you uneasy, please tell us.

[comeandfindme]

[ oh god it's like they're synchronized— ]

You haven't, okay, just— [ she sighs! ] It's been...a long few days. But you guys don't have to...watch over me or something.

[fourbutts]

[ Join us, leave your fields to flower...

Janis sighs. ]

I mean... yeah, but we want to? We care about you and you're having a shitty time.

[ She Said, As If Anyone Isn't. ]

[mayavericks]

We agreed that we did not want you to be alone. We care about you.

[She pauses, just for a moment. She glances up at Janis almost apologetically, before her attention turns back to Peregrine.]

I won't say that I do not have any interest in you at all. But I did not come over here in an effort to further that endeavor. You were here for me this afternoon. It's time I returned the favor.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine flushes lightly. ]

...I was only half serious— [ Oh god where does she look. ]

[fourbutts]

[ Oh it's fun to watch the Maya Tendo Experience from the outside, but also: ]

And... cards on the table, same hat, but. Swear to God we're here to try to cheer you up or whatever.

[mayavericks]

Exactly. So... Let the cheering commence.

[A beat.]

... Honestly I'm not sure where to go from here, though.

[comeandfindme]

[ Was that lightly? Oh, no, she's just— ]

I was only half serious...!! [ she's. this is a lot h/o ]

[fourbutts]

This isn't about our big lesbian crushes on you! [ a beat. ] Unless you want it to be!

[ A sigh, and a sarcastic: ]

Nailed it...

[mayavericks]

I... Think we need to work on our duets, Janis.

[She muffles a laugh behind her hand.]

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine's face is fully in her hands. Her shoulders are shaking. Is she...? ]

[fourbutts]

[ Flatly: ]

Ah. We broke her.

[mayavericks]

Peregrine?

[She actually looks a little guilty right now]

[comeandfindme]

[ It rises slowly.

Peregrine Wells is straight up laughing. Like, fully, like completely. ]

This is... You guys are both...really...really stupid...!

[ She wonders if at any point they'll realize they're all sitting on Connor's mattress. God. How the hell did this happen? ]

[fourbutts]

[ Janis nods. ]

Yeah, I'll definitely give you that one.

[mayavericks]

I'm not --

[She huffs]

Okay. Maybe you're right. [She shrugs.] But you can call us your idiots, if you'd like.

[comeandfindme]

[ Still laughing into her hands: ]

You're...not...helping...!!

[ But. Frankly? This is the happiest she's sounded in days. ]
