033: Happiness is...

Happiness is...

- having people who care about you
- not feeling like a damaged freak all the time
- working in a place that you love
- having a beautiful place to live
- feeling safe
- pretending to be in a fairy tale
- dancing
- kisses

I'm free now if that's what you'd like.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes, I'd like that! Please come!

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
This is how you find me... handwavy directions

I'll be watching for you!

[identity profile] bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. I'm glad I'm lucky. That'll help.

That would be the best of all, wouldn't it?

Rain was waiting outside for him a bit away from her house (http://community.livejournal.com/tampered/690850.html?thread=11834274#t11834274). She was glad she had food in the house, fruits and crackers and cheese and other good things.

Her house was...this way. That's what she had said. Mat wore his long green coat and dark hat to fight the slight chill in the air. He'd felt worse but he didn't want to get sick. The ever-present medallion and scarf was around his neck as he finally located the house. He smiled and waved at her as he walked over.

She smiled at him, holding out her hands to him. "Mat. I'm glad you're here. Come see."

He laughed and took her hands in his. "Alright. Let's see what we have here."

She led him over to the little place tucked half into the side of a hill, the ceiling open to the sky, though still protected from the elements.

"See, everything I could need, but I'm not trapped." She looked at him very seriously. "I get scared if it's too closed."

"Well burn me, if this isn't a nice place."

He grinned and took a closer look. "A bloody nice place."

"My friends made it for me," she said happily. "And I worked three jobs to save enough money. Look, I even have a bed. I never had one before. Not my own. Just sometimes for a night or two in the shelters."

"A bed. I know what it means to have a bed of my own." He nodded as he looked at her. "That's a fact I know really well."

Her face lit up. "You understand," she said quietly. "I like that so much. That you understand... things."

Mat smiled again. "It helps that I'm someone who has traveled a lot. I know what it's like to sleep where you can."

"I slept in the woods before when I came here. Or in the library if it was too scary to travel at night," she said quietly. "Before here I mostly slept wherever I could. In doorways or in an abandoned building or other places. Mostly with the littlest kids if there were any. To try and keep them safe."

He touched her cheek gently. "You're a good person, Rain."

Re: Action*

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
She smiled up at him uncertainly, touching his face. "I hope so. I tried."

Re: Action*

[identity profile] bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
"That's the best anyone can do." He sighed though the smile was still there. "Trust me."

"I do," Rain said thoughtfully. "I do trust you."

She smiled and stretched up daringly to brush her lips against his cheek. "Come on, look, I have food for us and blankets to sit on and keep us warm on our picnic."

The daring of the kiss surprised him but there were no objections as he followed to where the blankets were.

"Blankets to keep us warm. That'll be a good idea here."
