Nope's Peak r2 - Day 5 Allen and Sonia

[flamingprick]

[Okay by this time both of them have definitely seen him shirtless, so this talk shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Not once he gets going at least.

But yes he's bringing them back to his room for some privacy, because it's a sensitive topic and he's probably going to cry and and he doesn't want anyone else to see that shit.]

Alright. The reason I brought you guys here is that Ruler dared me to tell you both a secret of mine. And it's something I know you both have probably seen so I should tell you anyway. Just...don't laugh, alright?

[He knows they wouldn't laugh at him, but he's so insecure at times and he says stuff like that automatically. Sharing personal stuff like this isn't easy for him, since it's a sensitive topic, but he's willing to try for their sake.]

[w-well. Allen kind of. laughs? a little? because honestly, he's cried so much. it's a quiet laugh, fond and sad both. there's a bit of relief because he certainly... wouldn't have been able to get to what Sonia said.]

What do you even have to be sorry about?

Neither of us mind if you have a moment of weakness or sadness, Rin.

[assent]

[ This is fine. 100% fine. ]

Exactly. We care about you, so there is no reason for feeling bad about sharing your feelings. It must have been incredibly difficult. [ She reaches up to brush some of the tears away. ] Whenever you need to talk--[ She pauses. ]--both of you, do not hold back, okay?

[flamingprick]

[Rin's eyes flutter shut at Sonia wipes at his face. They're really too nice to him, he's realizing. How did he get so lucky to have two great people who care about him?]

I...alright.

[He sighs.]

Maybe 'thank you' is better to say.

[lefthandpath]

Mm, it's much better to say.

[assent]

I think we are in agreement.

[ Once Rin's face is a little drier, she'll turn to Allen next. What a bunch of crybabies for sure. Her own eyes are red, but she didn't bawl--more like quiet tears thanks to her holding back a lot more. ]

[flamingprick]

[She needs to cry at some point too.

But at this point Rin is just. Tired.]

Then thank you. For being here for me.

[And for listening when he had something difficult to share.

But he'll watch for a bit while Sonia dries Allen's tears too.]
