DOES WHATEVER A SPIDER CAN- Okay not that creepy but still

[Possibly you may remember a time, way back before Will was too insane - still crazy but not quite too bad - when Erika enjoyed creeping on the window of his bedroom and popping in and shaking him or clawing him or surprise falling on him from the ceiling to wake him for late night talks? Those bygone days.

Well Erika is reviving the tradition by rising near his head like Jaws and very slowly prodding him in the face.] Wiiiiiiiillard I'm here!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

O-Of course we do! [From how fiercely she says it, one might think Will had somehow insulted her. She quickly realises she's being defensive, though, and clears her throat. Waving her hand, as if it was nothing.]

We pinned everything to his ability to love me. As long as he does, there shouldn't be any loopholes.

[Tsun harder, Erika. Though her stuttering at the beginning earns a blatant smirk. Oh yeah. That definitely got filed away. Poor thing. But it's right back to business when she continues, and the look she gets at her isn't the stupid jerkass Will she asked to make a blood pact with, but the Dominion she's requesting to be a Sponsor.]

Really? You can guarantee it with absolute certainty?

[Despite her general embarrassment, Erika nods firmly.]

...Neither of us are sponsored by certainty or have felt any favours of it but this is something we both believe in. It won't be denied or broken by anyone but us. ...If it fails, it won't be from the efforts of any other person.

[Still serious even when being honest about her adorable little crush. Around this moment is when he somewhat understands how Lambda feels when she picks up pieces.

Except he still wants to hit Zelos, but that's neither here nor there.]

As long as I am alive, Erika Furudo will never die.

[Sipping his tea after, when the world snaps back after that weight is forced upon it. It's not a direct answer to her answers a moment ago, but at least it works nicely to counter that pained glare she shot at him before.]

[She blinks at him a few times. That combines with the red he gave her a while ago that he wouldn't stay dead. After a pause, though, she glares at him. It isn't pained. It's insulted.]

Hey I don't need a red like that! You're implying I can't survive without you! What a ridiculous notion!

Is that why you looked like I beheaded your girlfriend a minute ago?

[Called out. If she's gonna tsun harder, he'll just troll harder.]

You-!

[Remember those heels she wears? They would matter a lot if she kicked him between the legs. Luckily, in her attempt to do so, she bangs her knee on the table and thus her kick stops before it could really start. She winces and reaches under the table to rub her knee.]

Don't say a word, Willard!

[He doesn't. Not a word. Simply getting up and leaving the room again now that he has his tea.

Ignore the fact he's laughing. Laughing isn't words.]

Be quiet!! [Erika hops after him - a little lighter on one leg for just a step - elbows past him to go sit first. Yes, excellent revenge.

And she just sits with her arms folded and one leg over the other like any irritated proper brat does.]

Your sense of humour needs work.

[She sat in a chair.

...

Wow. That was so effective.

So effective, he walks right past her and takes the couch. Immediately laying down on it with his arms folded under his head.]

And your revenge is worthless. What's your favorite weather?

[She doesn't even had time to be offended when he just gave the most random question ever.]

...Wha...? My favourite kind of weather? [Dubious tone aside, she thinks on it for a moment.] ...Early summer. I hate it when it's so hot that you sweat but I hate the cold. I like nice, warm weather and sunny days.

[Most shoujo answer.]

Noted.

[There's no indication that he actually cared about her answer. Just information needed for... Something.]

[He isn't getting off the hook so easily.] Well? Why did you ask that so suddenly? Do you need my star sign as well?

Why would I need your star sign for a game board? Don't be an idiot.

[There is one word in there that makes up for all the horrible trolling she's suffered up until now.]

[Will has exactly one-

No I lied she pretty much teleports and is now sitting on his chest with a bright smile, right in his face.]

My game board?! You're working on it? Well, don't keep me in suspense!

[She should not be wasting her doppelganger specials like that, and in the face of her bright smile he just stares back in annoyance.]

Yes, I'm working on it. The only thing I can show you is the first day's circle, but that's all I'd give you. Now get off me.

[It's like he didn't even say that last part since she ignores it completely. She seems to even settle on him more, arms resting so she can support her head, still the same, sparkling smile right in front of him.]

How much longer will it be? Ah, if I see it, my cells will itch so hard I won't be able to stand it! So tell me something instead! Tell me something about the plot, Willard.

[If anyone were to walk in on the scene in front of them, it's one of those moments where Erika looks like she's two seconds away from pinning him down and raping him. Except she's already done the 'pinned down' part. Next would be ripping his clothes off if he doesn't give deets.

And he's not giving deets.] I said get off.

[Even better that now she's rubbing her cheek against his like an overjoyed kitten.] Come on, Wiiiiiiillard! Give me a hint!

[She's the overjoyed kitten and he's the irritated owner who just wants her off. Except he can't get her off since her position has his arms pinned under his own head. Great.]

No. Off.

[Too bad she's still nuzzling him and keeping him pinned, even if it is with her tiny body.]

Just one hint? One little detail? Just one?

[Look at that face. How can you say no to that?]

[She's lucky she's adorable. Only enough to earn another annoyed sound and a few moments of hesitation.]

...Just one. And you can't ask again until I'm finished. Got it?

[SPARKLES!!!!!

Or rather a bright look, pulling back to sit on his stomach and free his arms.]

Deal! So what is it?

It's a mystery.

[The smile she gets right after means she walked right into that. Like a blind person off a cliff.]

[For a long moment, there is only silence. Will managed to stun Erika into a state of speechlessness. She can only stare at him, mouth slightly open, frozen in that way.

Then, finally, her mouth shuts and she slumps forward, head thumping against his chest. Why.]

I can't believe that just happened.
