... This one's my fault, isn't it.

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

Did you tell them to marry her to cheer her up? Both of them?

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

... WHAT? No!

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

Fine, then it's not your fault.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

... They actually offered to marry her to cheer her up??

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

The Doctor--the blonde one--proposed. She said yes. Then he asked Byron, too, and now they're trying to figure out who'll marry the three of them.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

Oh god.

I said... I mean, I asked why she didn't think she could or should marry... we talked about it, I never told them to ask!!

... Wanna go on tour again?

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

Tour is good.

She'll expect me to be there. Give her away or something. Fuck.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

I think maybe get the hell out of Dodge before anything happens.

We could elope.

... Shit.

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

It's already happened.

................

*scowls*

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

Before anything worse happens.

*offers hugs?*

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

She's all....being girly. And humming.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

She's not allowed to be girly? I guess, yeah, with everything else...

So, where do you want to run away to?

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

Of course she's allowed. I just...*is really upset, shrugs*

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

Just... what? *touches his shoulder lightly*

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

I don't know. *restless, paces*

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

*watches, then goes to sit cross-legged on the bed*

Do you know what you want to do?

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

*scowls*

I want...I want her to be happy. But this is so fast...and so definite.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

And you think they're not thinking it through?

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

They're acting like giddy teenagers, and all of them old enough to know better.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

And you feel like you're acting like the adult again...

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I mean....Byron? Committing to forever? Byron? 200 years he's been with her and now he decides to marry her, just because the Doctor suggests it? What if something happens to them--to Byron or the Doctor? And she's all... out of time and space and I can't get to her?

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

You... Yeah. I don't know.

They're thinking that it's a solution, and it's not. It never has been. People have a hard enough time staying married for fifty years, let alone...

I don't know. Marriage isn't the be all and end all and it's not ... it's not a fix. It's something... you do because you want to, for itself. Because you love someone that much.

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

*sighs, rubs his temples*

For all I know that's why they're doing it. They seem.....happy.

But I'm still worried about her.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

If that's why they're doing it... I don't think this would have happened the day after that whole conversation about marriage...

I know. *goes over to him*

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

*shrugs*

Maybe no one thought anyone wanted it until it seemed like she did? I didn't know she wanted it.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But that's still... you shouldn't get married just to make one person happy.

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

The Doctor seems to be quite happy about it.

[firebugwarren.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Maybe it'll work out.

[killingsoftly.livejournal.com]

*morose*

Maybe.
