MCA #5, Saturday Morning

[electrocynic]

As far as Sarah was concerned, this was a perfectly ordinary Saturday. She'd slept in late, had some brekkie, was lounging around on the couch with something mindless on the telly. And considering the way last Saturday had gone – she felt like she'd only just recuperated from the hangover, if not the mental fallout of it all – she thought this one should just stay a quiet one.

In fact, she had half a mind to just stay in her pajamas all day.

"You left for space on a day's notice!"

She made 'space' sound like a rude word.

"There was a war!" And Guy had anger issues taken to the max in it. Which had been sooooo muuuuuuch fuuuuuuun.

[electrocynic]

"I don't have to care about your bloody war," Sarah snapped, "because you broke my heart!"

And with that, she stomped back into the apartment.

But of course she left the door open. He could do with that what he wished.

"I--" That really made Guy pause before he walked in, shutting the door behind him. "I'm sorry."

[electrocynic]

"Fuck you," Sarah grumbled, folding her arms and slumping back on to the sofa.

Really, it was just like old times.

"I deserve that one," he replied with a sigh, following her. "You gotta know you're one of the good things in my life."

Congrats on helping purge rage from his system enough to be coherent after getting a Red Lantern ring.

[electrocynic]

Sarah didn't even bother to glare at him. She'd work back up to actually looking at him.

"That is the cheesiest fucking line I've ever heard, Guy."

She... maybe needed a little context to hear it in another way.

"Yeah, welcome to my life lately," he joked, taking a seat far enough away to keep from getting hit. "So, turns out you can get more than one of these."

He tapped his Green Lantern ring with his thumb for emphasis.

[electrocynic]

She glanced over. But just with her eyes, not with her head. And only at his hand.

"By visiting a tacky capes-only jewelry shop?" she drawled.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"More like I apparently got some latent rage issues and got a red ring jammed on my other hand before going on a rampage."

And hadn't that just been fun? See what you missed out on?

[electrocynic]

Hey, Sarah was pretty good with rage. Sometimes. Kind of.

"Don't see what this has to do with me," she noted, with some slightly milder surliness. Fidgeting with the sleeve of her pajamas.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"Well, to get that to stop, they made me focus on the good shit in my life." He shrugged uncomfortably. "You mighta featured in there pretty heavily."

[electrocynic]

"You're still a wanker," Sarah told him. Or her lap. Whichever, there wasn't much angry wind left in her sails.

Two and a half years on and they were still shit at talking about their feelings. Good to know.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he replied. "It's what you like about me."

[electrocynic]

She gave him a withering look for that one.

But, you know. She was actually looking at him.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"I'd give you a hug, but I don't want a black eye or broken nose."

[electrocynic]

Sarah rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to punch you." Way to act like that was completely outside what you usually did, Sarah. Well done. "Though if I did, it would be deserved."

But she wasn't going to.

Probably.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh." Guy scooted over, arms out for a hug.

[electrocynic]

Sarah made a face at him.

As she moved closer. To hug him. Because she was complicated and complex, goddammit.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

Weren't they all?

Guy was in no way afraid of showing emotions via hugging. Just ask Kyle. So, his sort of latching on was to be expected.

[electrocynic]

Resting her head against the crook of his neck was perfectly accidental, okay? She didn't want to hear about it.

"Been over two years, Guy," she said, only slightly muffled.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"That you can punch me for," he promised, not letting go yet. "More than once."

[electrocynic]

Sarah wasn't exactly pulling away, either.

"Nah," she said, although that didn't mean she wasn't intending to punch him at all. "Figure I'll punch you for coming back and leaving again."

She had a handle on these things. Also her natural cynicism.

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

"Sounds your speed," Guy replied with a huff of laughter. "I wasn't even sure you'd still be here. Kinda glad I didn't knock on some stranger's door."

[electrocynic]

There was a vague shrug. Kind of weird and awkward mid-hug but whatever. "Thought about moving back to London some time ago."

Really, she'd considered it a great big number of times.

"There was an alien abduction, the usual bullshit."
