[ The video feed as it comes on from the journal is sort of fuzzy at first, and it's evident the owner's out on the cherry blossom tree hill if the pink falling petals are any indication. One thing that's visible is that the journal is on somewhat of an angle, showing what appears to be none other than Fakir who's sitting there, another type of journal on his lap and a pen writing away at something.

Occasionally mutters can be caught by the journal itself as he continues writing, the sound of the pen on paper heard in the background. ]

...and.... then he moved closer to hold her in... arms... she so safe there in his embrace...

Never did he want to leave.... all alone.... always...

[ Suddenly he stops, his face visible enough as he makes a face and suddenly tears out the page and tosses it aside, the angle of the journal allowing everyone to see the pile of crumpled papers as he sighs in frustration, feathers bristling on his wings visibly before he started writing again. ]

Once... there was a pair. A man... and girl. She was petite, small... but beautiful. Not graceful but he was her knight and he would... catch her... never to fall again with him by her side. A sweet girl with hidden wings...

Lovely... eyes the color of... the sky, hair an incomparable shade of reddish pi--

[ Suddenly his writing stops short and he tosses the pen aside, putting his head in his hands in frustration. The pen hits the journal with a small 'click' and after a second, Fakir resigns in picking it up but when he does, that's about the time when it seems to register that the journal was actually recording him with green eyes going quite wide in surprise and shock. If that thing was on... did it mean it had been recording him writing something so embarrassing?!

~~Wasn't totally about a certain girl that lives here that he knows from home. Nope.~~

A moment lingers after before he suddenly goes REALLY red in the face and he sputters a bunch of incoherent words as he scrambles to turn the journal off, but right before the scattered feed ends, the sound of him saying one last thing can be heard. ]

STUPID JOURNAL--!!!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[At first, Duck didn't really know exactly what was going on. Once she stopped cleaning her room a little bit and checked her journal, she could tell that Fakir didn't realize the feed was on. It was clear he had been writing, which has always made her happy to see so as long as it was good stuff. She was just about to say something until she heard what he was writing.

It sounded.... wonderful. She didn't know if it was directed to her or someone lese, but she doubted that he'd found some girl to be interested in that way here. He didn't exactly go for that sort of thing.]

[The moment that he'd started over again, it began to sound more and more like her that he was writing about. It wasn't a strange thought when it had happened before. He cheeks burned a bright red at the use of words like "beautiful", "lovely", and just the mention of being her knight. Adding onto that with her eye and hair color, she definitely knew it was her he was writing about.]

[If he was writing about things like that.... It had to have meant....

No! It... wasn't possible, was it? He couldn't really care for her in that matter could he? She was just a duck after all. She was ungraceful, clumsy, and far from perfect. And yet he could write such beautiful things like this.

It had been bouncing around in her brain for a while that while she knew that she really liked him, it was possible that it was more than just liking him. Maybe it was love? When she'd gotten advice, it helped her really understand her feelings a little bit more. By seeing this, it meant that he could possibly feel the same way.]

[With her cheeks growing brighter and brighter at the realization, she failed to remember that she had the video on the entire time of seeing this and her reaction. Seeing him react the way that he did... He must have....]

U-Uhm... F-Fakir? I... It's nice... to see your writing again...

[That's all she could manage to get out, trying to look away as if to hide her face.]

[ Perhaps he'd been masking his true feelings behind doubt, indecisions and anger but somehow they'd really been there since before he even arrived here in Luceti. The writing is proof of this but he was still too stubborn to outright say anything, even if the evidence of things was starting to get obvious.

Fakir had been halfway to throwing the journal somewhere for a while but stopped when he caught on to the image of someone familiar staring back at him with wide blue eyes and a blush vividly coloring her cheeks.

Had she... just seen all of that before?

Even as the video feed slips back on, he opens and closes his mouth several times in the wake of her actually speaking just then, just as red in the face and flustered beyond all holy belief. ]

I... I didn't mean...

You weren't supposed to...

[ Oh god just what does he say?

A part of him wants to yell at her because damn it this was personal and nobody was supposed to see - or know - that he'd been writing things. He'd been at this for at least an hour and every time his writing started the way he wanted and then spiralled into what this little thing had become.

His heart was racing and he almost couldn't think because wow he'd never been this embarrassed and he should be angry but when she looks like that, how can he-- ]

[ Finally he seems to remember how to breathe, looking away from the journal and brows furrowing slightly but it's not out of anger or anything. Just frustration because damn it, how was he even going to try and explain something like this out when it clearly wasn't what she thought it was.

Well, okay, maybe it was.

His true feelings had written themselves down on paper in absence of him actually being able to admit them to her. Plus there was the kiss she didn't know about; how he woke her up when he got here and then there was that stupid dating thing. Oh BOY he really couldn't forget about that when it was so clearly engraved into his mind. ]

...You... I didn't intend to... write all this.

[ For a second it looks like he wants to just snap and call her an idiot but in this instant it's like he doesn't have the strength to. ]

I mean it was sort of meant FOR you but then... I... agh... It wasn't supposed to be made public...

Since you... like my writing but it's not like... I...

[ The fact he's still red and can't look very long at the journal without blushing darker says more volumes than even he's able to put into words, honestly. ]

I'm... It's not important, is it?

[She sure did, Fakir.

Every. Bit. of. It.

He may not have meant to write this, but that happened a lot with his writing. And for him to actually say it was sort of meant for her just makes it even more clear. And that's her feelings bubbling up to the surface again. She wasn't totally sure what she felt back home, though she did know she felt something. Now was different. She knows her feelings now and she was sure of what she felt.

For him to say that was important enough to her. Now the question was did she want to ask him straight up or just... beat around the bush?]

F-Fakir.... This... Your writing... has a power to it...

[Obvious but...]

Your feelings.... What are they?

[ A small part of him wanted to try and say anything; a snap, a retort, anything when she started speaking but his voice just wasn't working.

Moreso when she actually asked that question outright and it sort of stopped him short to the point where he had to actually hesitate and instead of looking angry, seemed almost frustrated at the fact he didn't even know where to start with words. There could be anger, but... if she could come out and ask him that, maybe...

No.

Perhaps a small part of him had convinced himself she'd always love Mytho even knowing he was with Rue. Someone like him wasn't really the 'loveable' type and he just didn't know how to put this into words because these were feelings that he hadn't even put into reality for such a long time. ]

I... If you're talking about... where it regards you, Duck?

[ Shut up his voice did NOT crack right there a moment ago. Don't mention it. He clears his throat, exhaling a soft sigh and raising a hand to rub at his temple, expression softening even with the blush coloring along his tanned cheeks. ]

I just... ugh... I don't know. You're this clumsy idiot with two left feet who gets herself into trouble, but there's always been something... [ Why can't he even say all this with a straight face. ] ...beautiful about you that just... pulls me in. Whether you're a duck or human, it... wouldn't change how I felt about you.

Edited (typos agh ;;) 2014-08-16 07:46 (UTC)

[Beautiful.... He really just... and there's her cheeks again. She was over Mytho finally, but there was always Rin in the back of her mind. He was a dear friend and just another crush to get over. Regardless, they'd both made it clear that even if nothing happened romantically, they'd still be good friends.

But Fakir... Fakir was different. She hated him at first and now... Now she knew how much she cared for him. Had it not been for her friends and her experience here, she wouldn't have been able to put her feeling into words. But this... This was something that she felt they needed to talk about in person. Over the journal just seemed.... unfitting.]

Fakir.... Can we meet somewhere?

[ There's that weird fluttering, light feeling in his chest when he hears her ask that and it takes a second before he actually remembers to respond, let alone breathe. Yeah, he was getting all worked up because he'd sort of said what he felt for her in a way - considering he thought he'd never muster it up - when he didn't think it would ever come to this.

Not that it was a bad thing but he was still just trying to get used to this actually being a thing that was happening. ]

...Uh... yeah. Sure.

[ Damn it. So much for regaining his full composure. Though at least he's not blushing AS darkly as he had been before and that counts for something, right? ]

Just... where do you want to meet up?

Uhm... It doesn't matter to me...

[Somewhere somewhat private preferably.]

How about by the bridge near the Flame Building?

[It was a bit of a walk from where he lived, but it seemed to probably be the better place to talk about stuff like this.]

[ Yeah that was a fair bit of a walk. Perhaps that was why he was already getting his things together and starting already while keeping the journal on so he could respond to her all the same. ]

Fine with me. I'll be there as soon as I can, alright?

[ There's no harshness but a sort of quiet calm in his voice and even offering a light smile curling the edges of his lips - not thinking about it of course - as he looks back at her. ]

[Seeing his expression made her smile too.]

Okay. I'll head there too.

[And with that she set off to put her shoes on and head there.]

Yeah. See you soon.

[ With that, he calmly ended the journal feed and headed over there, even if it took a fair few minutes. The walk gave him time to try and sort out his thoughts and calm himself, even if when she got there, he'd likely be back at square one again but it didn't stop him from trying.

Soon enough he had arrived, moving to stand about midway on the bridge and staring out into the water with a bit of a serene expression as he waited for her. A rare sight on most days but it was one of those things that he couldn't help as he stood there, knowing it wasn't like anyone else was going to be here to see him other than Duck right now so it was alright. ]

[Duck had hurried her way there. Seeming as the bridge was closer to Duck, she didn't take as long to get there, but even with her resolve.... She felt butterflies in her stomach. It was fairly clear he liked her too, so there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of; but after the incident with Rin, it was still nerve wracking. Finally trying to calm herself down, she finally showed herself.]

Fakir.

[It was simple, but despite her nerves, she managed to give him a happy, timid smile. Oh gosh... This was still hard....]

[ When she finally showed herself, he glanced sidelong at her through his bangs as a light smile graced his features minutely. She was nervous and he could tell; however subtly. Perhaps by wearing this smile, it would hide how he actually was just as nervous as she was. Maybe. ]

...Hey.

So... you wanted to meet up here. To talk about... things from before, right?

[ Don't blush, damn it. Don't. Totally better than that. It's what he's telling himself even as he tries playing it off as cool as ever despite his still-nervous feelings on the inside. ]

Uhm... Yeah... I... I didn't think it would be appropriate to talk about it over journal.

[Ugh! These butterflies.... How in the world did she do this before? She slowly walked over to him.]

So uhm.... I've.... I've learned a lot here. And my experiences and friends here have made me realize a lot of things about myself.

[She pauses for a moment, as if trying to pick her words carefully.]

What you wrote.... and what you said... Do you really mean them?

[There go her cheeks.]

[ That makes sense, earning a small nod of understanding but not trusting himself to speak just yet and opting to listen to her first. Fakir somewhat manages to remain pretty calm about it until the end, where she just had to ask THAT and it cracks that air of calm.

In the way where he feels his cheeks growing warmer and he has a brief moment in which he tries twice to say something but fails. Finally despite his growing embarrassment - spurned on by seeing her blush plus having to address this - he does manage something. ]

Y-Yeah. I mean... Of course I do.

[ His blush darkens, much to his mortification as he attempts not to fidget or look more ridiculously embarrassed as he already probably did. ]

That's... I wouldn't lie about those kinds of things.

[And that's all the verification that she needed. She couldn't help but to bring her hand to her mouth for a moment as if collecting herself. And then she gently grabbed his hand.]

Good because....

[Here goes...]

You can be a real jerk sometimes, but I've been told the more you fight with someone, it just means that you're close to them. And despite all of that, I can't imagine my life without you. You're always there for me when I need it and I know I can count on you.

I guess... What I mean is... [Oh gosh....] I love you.

[And with that finally out, her cheeks efficiently turn a bright shade of red.]

[ As she grabs his hand, there's a weird fluttering in his chest that he can't really explain. It's this which helps keep him solidly quiet for the entirety of listening what she had to say.

Even with her calling him a jerk, it doesn't at all deter from the rest of her message at all. Something which takes a good few seconds to register just exactly what it is that she'd said outright to him before his green eyes widen and his blush darkens vividly to a level where it matched hers.

She... She LOVED him?! He didn't... think he deserved that much for how he had treated her in the past despite what they've gone through. She was clumsy, and a little slow sometimes but her good traits weighed out the bad and maybe it was that which he found that well, made him feel the same. Perhaps his stubbornness or something else had been keeping him from acknowledging it but now that she'd said it, suddenly it was clear; if not making this more embarrassing than it was already. ]

I... y-you idiot... saying it like that... you...

[ If she ever wanted to have him pretty much speechless again this would do it. He's trying SO hard to put things together but it isn't working out how he'd like. ]

There's... so much I could say... but i'm sure you already know that I... I won't leave you and i'll be there to make sure you won't get hurt. I may call you stupid names b-but it's... not like I mean them all the time.

[ A sigh. This is better than before but the blush hasn't at all subsided. The hardest part was coming, as it wasn't like he was good at all this weird confession stuff and showing his feelings like this. ]

Without you i'd... still be the same person as I was before. I owe you a lot....I just... I love... you too.

Edited 2014-10-08 09:56 (UTC)

[Even with her chest beating wildly and that lovely shade of red on her cheeks, she can't help but let put a small, happy laugh. It was so nerve wracking to confess your love for somebody. For Fakir... it felt like she could faint from how nervous she was. She remembered Rin telling her he wasn't sure if it was because of the Malnosso's influence or his own, but she remembered feeling terrible. She'd put on a brave face for him and insisted she was fine. Rue had been the first one she'd gone to. And instead of telling Rue that it all worked out, she had to cheer Duck up. She understood but it was painful.

But this. She knew her feelings weren't because of the Malnosso. She knew they were really true. And instead of feeling sadness and aching, she extremely relieved. Not like she thought it would end too poorly or anything, but.... He said it. He said it back to her. He felt the same way she did.

And so there were tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Not because of sadness or anything like that. She was just so relieved and happy that he felt the same.]

Thank goodness. I owe you more.

[And with that said, her hands leave his hand to tightly embrace him. She didn't know where to really go from here, but what mattered was that he was here. She had to think back to some of the advice she'd been given before, but they'd just have to figure things out along the way until then.]
