[J,GOB: Friday Afternoon]

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D had a lot on her mind after class, so instead of heading back to her room, she went down to town for some lunch.

Mostly, she just wanted to take a walk to clear her head and call Theodoric's as she went to make sure she had her appointment time for tomorrow confirmed.

At the end of the call, she found herself at a table inside J,GOB, with a sandwich and cup of coffee in front of her.

Krycek was in town for some coffee and a couple purchases at the store, but when he saw D at J,GOB's, it seemed like a good time to say hello. He stepped inside and pulled the chair out across from her, sitting down with a half-smile. "Hey."

D stood up, gave him a quick hug and peck on the cheek before sitting back down. "Hey yourself."

"How've you been?" He asked, settling in his seat.

"Not bad," She grinned. "Been keeping busy, getting ready for prom and all that. But it would have been improved with seeing a little more of you."

"Sorry, didn't mean to be so anti-social," Krycek grinned back. "You going with someone?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Ummmm..." D just kinda stared at him. "I thought so?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek blinked back. "Um."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"..." D couldn't think of anything to say. She was under the impression that if two people were kinda-sorta-possibly together and occasionally sleeping together that going to prom together was a natural conclusion.

So instead of saying something, she took a drink of her coffee.

Krycek paused, realizing a bit belatedly that since they hadn't seen each other lately, that meant that things which had changed? Weren't necessarily widely known. "...Jake asked me."

D set her coffee down and crossed her arms to keep her hands from trembling from all the emotions that were welling up inside.

She blinked a few times and after a few long, possibly uncomfortable, moments of silence she said, "I see. And you were going to tell me when exactly?"

"I meant to do it right off," he said quietly, watching her. "It just... time got away from me."

"I bet you did." D had suddenly lost her appetite so she picked up her tray, stood up, crossed the room and threw everything on it away, all untouched except the coffee.

She stood by the trash can a minute, considering her options.

He watched her, but wasn't sure what he should do - he deserved to have that coffee thrown in his lap, probably, though he wasn't going to suggest it out loud. Krycek sighed, feeling like a heel, and rubbed the back of his neck, wondering if he'd get punched if he followed her.

She could have punched him. She could have left, walked out the door and never turned back. Instead she returned to the table and looked down at him.

She was angry, upset, felt betrayed and broken all in one. She wasn't going to cry, not here, but anger? That was safe. "Stand up."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

He stood up, easily, and even if he'd known she wanted to give him a good right hook, he would've still done it.

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D looked him up and down then she grabbed him by the collar of his ubiquitous leather jacket and kissed him liked he'd never been kissed before.

When she pulled away, she let go of him and kept her voice to a low snarl, biting off each word. "Frak you and your lackluster loyality. I'm walking away and I won't look back but you will fraking remember this. There is someone out there who loves you like you should be loved, someone who treated you better than anyone ever has, someone who never made you feel like less, someone who always respected you and your decisions even when it broke her heart, and that someone sure as frak isn't named Jake Gavin!"

She backed away from him, never looking right or left, all the way to the door. She was close to crying so the show had to come to an end. She opened the door behind her and said, "Good bye, Froggy."

"D," he said quietly, watching her go, and it was so hard not to say "I didn't mean it" or "Please, don't go", but that would probably be cruel. He'd made a choice and this one he meant to stick with, for better or for worse. "Goodbye."
