WR heaved a deep sigh when they heard the door open and close behind them. They didn't need to look to know it was Gidget.
"Sorry," They mumbled under their breath.
They would take another puff of the cigarette and toss it over the banister before turning around to face her.
"Sorry," They said again, louder. "I'm working on it," They muttered in reference to their anger. Obviously, this wasn't the first time they had stormed off, and knowing that made them all the more anxious.

Gidget shrugged.
"Honestly, its confusing, but thats just because I don't know if I should, like... chase after you, or just wait for you to come back to me."
She moved forward to lean on the banister, resting her elbows on it and allowing her hands to dangle idly over the edge.

WR turned back to face the city, mimicking Gidget.
"Your presence usually helps," They shrugged.
"I just... I'm not good with social settings, I guess. Especially when people come out of fucking nowhere."

She couldn't help but snicker.
"Dude, I'm right there with you. It seems like you've got some kinda handle on shit, and then something else happens, and its like my brain just short circuits. I'm fine and snarky and doing my own thing one second, and the next... I can't even think of something witty to say."
Gidget leaned over to gently push WR's shoulder with her own. "I get you, Sparky."

WR smiled at that, stifling a light chuckle before shifting their head slightly so they could see her face.
"You usually do. I'm really fucking lucky to have you, ya know?"
They shook their head, cringing slightly at the albeit true statement.
"Fucking hate how contagious the sap is..." They muttered.

Her cheeks flushed slightly at WR's comment, but before she could respond, they made the comment about sap. She laughed, giving a shake of her head, and turned around to lean her back against the banister and stare up at the sky.
"You know... If you'd come up to me a year ago and said we were going to meet, and you'd become this important to me, all because I wouldn't tell you my name... I'd have fucking laughed at you. I never thought I'd find anybody, and somehow... I found you. I'd say we're both pretty damn lucky, Sparky."

Aaaaand once again the red returned to WR's face, and they slid a hand down their cheek as if trying to wipe it away. They leaned over the banister, staring blankly at the ground while they thought about the other world.
"Honestly, I've never been so damn confused in my life. Like, everything sucked, but it was always clear. I always knew what I needed to do and how I needed to do it, but with you..."
They broke away, once again mimicking her position and lightly bumping into her arm with theirs, grabbing at her hand to lock fingers with hers.
"I feel like I'm being pulled in ten different fucking directions, and my heart wants to jump out of my fucking chest. There's always something crazy running through my brain and I just..." They smiled wildly and shook their head.
"Never knew this feeling was real, but I love it. Hell, I need it. I need you."

She grasped their hand tightly, clinging to it slightly. It always struck her how similar she and WR were, in their thought processes and emotions. It made her smile.
"Well, you've got me. That much, I know. And when all of this shit is over, and you are where you need to be... I'll be there with you."
She turned, then, and her lips grazed softly, almost shyly, over WR's cheek. It was an impulse, and one she didn't know quite how to respond to.
"I promise."

WR smiled, wildly, and turned to her, their lips almost touching, but not quite.
"And that's all I could ever want," They muttered sweetly, raising their free hand to lightly caress her cheek.

Gidget stood there, staring at WR, her eyes wide. She had no idea what to do here, or how to respond. Breathing became a conscious effort, especially as WR touched her cheek, but after a moment, her body relaxed into theirs.
She was just about to say something when someone cleared their throat. Gidget jumped like she had been shocked and turned to see her usual Chinese delivery guy, his arms full of bags of food, a goofy grin on his face.
"Miss Gears, you food," he said, holding out the bags. She rolled her eyes and took it, giving him a little two finger salute, before sighing. He turned around and walked away, grinning from ear to ear.
"Damn nosy delivery drivers..."

WR broke away from Gidget as the delivery boy spoke up, and they stared at him in annoyance, that stupid smile somewhat lingering. They offered to grab one of the bags from Gidget, if she wanted the help, and waved the driver off as he faded down the stairs.
"I shoulda come out here sooner, I guess," They chuckled slightly in reference to the awkward timing.
"Ready to go back in, or?" They raised a brow while they asked. They themself weren't so sure, but hopefully food would improve the overall mood. They didn't plan on sticking around long anymore.

Gidget took a deep breath, pausing a moment with the bags on her arms. She glanced over at WR.
"Real quick... I know he's annoying as fuck, and a real bother, but... I think Drake came up here because... I don't know. Maybe he feels left out. I get this feeling that he's a lot like us, and maybe he... needs us more than we realize. Dunno what's up with this weird DJ dude bro. Talked to him like, once, and it was awkward as fuck, but I think he might... I dunno. Maybe have a thing for him or something. So maybe Drake... needs all of his people around him?"

WR turned toward the door, heaving a deep sigh and shaking their head slightly.
"He's here for you, Grem, not me. I dunno what's up with Dj but they're obviously close, so, I'm gonna let them do their thing and do my best to ignore their annoying as fuck comments,"
They turned their head back to her and faked a smile.
"But if he starts some shit with me I will leave. I'm not in the mood today."

Gidget's eyes darted across their face, back and forth for a moment, as she thought about it. She took a deep breath, then sighed, shrugging. She wasn't entirely sure what she was trying to say, and ended up just nodding.
"You good to go back in? Or you want another smoke?"

WR thought about it for a second... and plucked another cigarette out of their pocket.
"Yeah, you're prolly on to somethin' here." They chuckled before sticking it into their mouth. It lit as soon as it touched their lips.
"So, anything else on your mind?" They reached for the railing and pulled themself over to dangle their arms over the edge again.
