[video] Selphie is Sad, but we're off hiatus!

*When Selphie woke up and she was able to leave her bed, she looked around the house for Rinoa. She wasn't upstairs, or downstairs. That wasn't so unusual. Selphie thought she'd use the SFC to see if Rinoa could bring back those burgers she got the last time Selphie was in a coma. But Rinoa's name wasn't on the list. Selphie knows too well what that means.

On the screen, Selphie is still wearing her little yellow pyjamas, curled up on the sofa in the living room she used to share with Rinoa. She blinks, rather forlornly, at the SFC*

I don't know when it happened but...Rinoa's gone home. For all her friends here...I thought I'd let you know that I'm from Rinny's homeworld too, but I'm from a place more in the future than from where she was here from. So, I can promise everyone that even though some crazy stuff might happen, Rinoa ends up perfectly safe and really happy, with friends and people who love her.

*Selphie manages a small, weak smile, then promptly switches off her SFC*

*Immediately, Selphie looks up at Aya, like he's just suggested the most exciting and magical thing of all time. But then her smile fades and she shakes her head, turning away from him*

But then... then you'd just get bored of me much quicker...

*Living together, and working together - she wants to delay him getting bored of her as much as possible*

Selphie... [He can understand her logic, but to hear it like that..]

[Aya cups her face, stroking a cheek with a thumb,.] I won't get bored of you, but if you want me to fire you, I can. [Thats the solution, right?]

*When she blinks back up at him, Selphie looks very worried indeed. She almost panics when he mentions firing her, but then straight away she grins and plants several kisses promptly on his lips*

Yes, please!~

[Aya grins and chuckles at the kisses, trying his best to keep up with them.]

Then I guess I'll have to let you go. It won't be the same, but you can always fill in for me, should anything happen to me.

*Eventually she stops with the kissing and sits back down properly in her chair*

Yessir. But don't you dare start talking to me about anything happening to you! *She frowns and waggles a finger, only half-joking*

Still, I can come in and make sure you're taking all your tea breaks! And I can help you find someone new to take over. I was always kinda useless anyway...

[He watches that finger before nodding. She may be half-joking, but he intends to stay as healthy as he can.]

You were a very big help, actually. I don't think the shop would have done as well without your help.

Never underestimate the charm of a pretty face in a flower shop! *She giggles, knowing that really that wasn't all that she had done. Though, in saying that, she suddenly looks alarmed*

Wait! But! When you replace me you gotta make sure that it's not a girl that's cuter than me, okay?!

....what<-i>?[Eyebrow raise] How would I even know if she's cuter than you?

*Oh, that's a proper scowl Aya's getting as she finishes off her cake*

Hmmf. I think I ought to see her before you go employing her. Just in case.

I don't think so. [Bring on the scowls!!]

But then...you'll just go hire someone really beautiful, and then you'll fall in love with them and never come home to me ever!

*Okay, yes, she's being ridiculous now. She pouts and gives a shrug, already hatching plans to distract him in the back room of the shop if she had to...*

What if I don't plan to hire a girl? [He has this all figured out.]

Uh. Well...Then... If you fall in love with him instead, you should probably let me know?

*She quirks a brow, deciding to joke about her defeat in this argument*

I'm pretty sure I won't fall in love with anyone. [He gives Selphie a wry smile. She worried too much.]

Oh. Well, then that's okay by me.

*She smiles back at him, though silently wonders if that means her too. So she busies herself with collecting the plates and cutlery, cleaning the dishes and tidying things away*

[Aya is pretty sure he's not including her in his statement. Her sudden quietness makes him curious.]

[He decides to help Selphie with putting things away, not minding the silence between them. It's not an awkward silence, luckily.]

*With everything cleared up, Selphie takes the remainder of Aya's piece of cake and puts it back into the box*

So...when is good for me to move in? I bet it won't take too long for me to pack up.

Whenever you're ready. You can move things in a little at a time, and I'll help you, of course.

*Selphie smiles and examines the flowers in the vase*

Thanks, Aya. It means a lot to me. I mean, everything that you've done. And I can still come help out with the shop until you find someone new.

You don't need to thank me. [He doesn't really help anyone out for the gratitude.]

Shiemi is still there, but if you want to help out, you can. Just remember that you7re fired. [He smirks softly.]

No, but if I didn't, then that'd just be bad manners!

I'll miss working there, ya know. I did really like it, more than I thought I would. *She moves closer and wraps her arms around his neck* It's just such a terrible thing, being fired by your own boyfriend. What a meanie!

True enough.

[He places a hand onto her wrist, smirking lightly still.] It was for the greater good.

*She tilts her head slightly, grinning* You think so, huh? But now what am I gonna do all day?

[He blinks at the question. Is that...for him to answer?]

Anything you want?

*Selphie just laughs a little and shakes her head*

Maybe I should get another job. Or...something.

*So she was at a bit of a loss now, but really she didn't mind at all, not if she was getting to live with Aya*
