makemebow[ He always has to tell V, when he's done well in one of his assignments.
(he struggles with some of them, and she knows that, and when he does well she's proud of him and it's-- he's glad)
(glad isn't quite enough, but the shape of the word is the most right and so it'll do)
And right now, he's especially excited as he wanders through the house looking for her. Because the printed-out grade sheet he's holding is for English and she knows that's his worst subject thanks to-- that, and so won't she be more proud than ever? ]
V? Neesama? Neesama, where are you?
[ Not that there's many places to look in a small cottage, and wherever she is in there - or even if she's in the garden - she can probably hear Thomas as soon as he starts to call for her. ]

[ He knows that... back home, something like that would have been grounds for a lecture.
(but V knows how hard it is for him and she knows why)
(not like it's not obvious, considering his chest, but. still.) ]

We'll have to do something special.
[She's glowing, a little, looking down at him, seeing how proud he is (and being so proud of him, for having come so far).]

Date: 2014-05-05 05:32 am (UTC)(she's warm and soft and he loves her so much, loves her more than anything)
(even when she's not looking at him like that he loves her and when she looks so proud he feels like he could burst) ]
Really...? Could we-- could we have a picnic, maybe?
[ Which usually means something in the garden, given Thomas's agoraphobia (that's hardly helped by his chest) but-- ]
S-something in the park.

(for him to be able to ask for that)
(he's come so far, since then, even with what
theyshedid to him)(and there's guilt, that this is such a step forward, but it's also from happiness)]
Definitely. We definitely can.
And we'll bring whatever you want to eat...

Date: 2014-05-05 01:33 pm (UTC)Thank you, neesama...
And, ah, could... could we maybe go see Yuuma-san next week?
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 01:53 pm (UTC)...yes.
I was hoping to see him myself.
[She still feels the need to thank him, sometimes, for what he did for her.]

Date: 2014-05-05 02:13 pm (UTC)Mm, neesama... do you have to finish anything first, or can we go for the picnic now?
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 02:24 pm (UTC)[She thinks for a moment, still petting, working her fingers gently into his hair.]
I think I can take this afternoon off.
What do you want to bring?
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 02:49 pm (UTC)Ah... I don't really know...
I don't really wanna go to the store, so... we could just bring things we have here, right...?
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 02:56 pm (UTC)Can you help me with the sandwiches?
[They should probably move to the kitchen, in that case, but...she's a bit distracted by the fluffy hair.]

Date: 2014-05-05 05:43 pm (UTC)Mm... how are you feeling today, neesama? I forgot to ask...
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 08:15 pm (UTC)[She leads him carefully into the kitchen (and relishes the feeling of his hand in hers, just as she does every time).]
Still sore, but I'm all right.

Date: 2014-05-05 09:43 pm (UTC)[ He glances at her face as he asks, expression open and earnest.
(he barely has to look up at all to do that nowadays, and that's... weird to think about) ]
