Rejected.

That's okay. I get it. After the news about P.T. and then Johnny leaving. I don't know... it would help ME feel better, but that's me. I guess I'm just being insensitive.

But it feels so bad. It really hurts. Like she doesn't want me.

I mean, I've been rejected before, once or twice, but that was different. It was upfront. I was just testing the waters. There was no... expectation. And those other times, it was just a one shot thing. They were out looking for it, too.

I guess I can't expect her to want it as much as I do. I'm always up for it, pretty much. Just flash me a little something, maybe give me a minute or two... there you go. Hasn't failed me yet. If I get one whiff that she's interested, I'm there. I don't care if I'm tired, if there are people in the next room, or if it's... a little less than sanitary at the moment. Fuck it. Nothing stops me.

But that's me.

I'll give her some space. Maybe Pleasant View is on TV. That might help me take care of business before I head back to bed. Surely she won't mind some cuddling, at least.

I love these glimpses into Ripp's mind and thoughts! They feel so real and raw (maybe the wrong word? Silly norwegian mother tongue :P)

Thanks! It's interesting to explore the characters from their own point of view, and the drabbles are good for that.

And I think raw works just fine for what you're trying to say. ^_^ Especially where Ripp is concerned.

This gives a real insight to Ripp under the bravado and is a really nice way of adding even more depth to the characters.
