052: A Comet Appears

[contract_star]

[Hei isn't hurt this time! ...Okay, fine, if you look closely enough you might see some new bruises, but that's all. He's out away from most of the Plane traffic with his scope set up, trying out the new eyepieces that Diva got him for his birthday. There's a small table covered with food nearby that Hei has been picking at, and a new comet in the Astral Sky. It's a bright blue and yellow streak with a long tail, rolling across the sky like the ball of ice and gas that it is. Hei has no idea which one it is, and there's really no hope of identifying it since the Sky changes all the time, but hey, it's a comet. Comets are important.]

[Hei looks preoccupied with something other than the comet, though. After awhile he plunks down on the Plane floor with a sigh and scoops up a potsticker from his mini-buffet.]

[He mutters to himself,] Sam would never let me hear the end of it, of course...

She didn't say anything of the sort to me. I realized what she was after and told her to drop from the Plane. She did.

[contract_star]

...But why would she do that?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

To get what she wanted, obviously. Her mind felt a bit like the back seat of a car on prom night, at the time.

Then...

[But it makes sense, of course. Part of him probably knew it all along, but the rest of him simply didn't want to believe it.]

[He's silent for a long time, just sort of staring into space. Then he takes his head in his hand.]

I'm an idiot.

[Crowley shrugs, looking unimpressed]

You're a man. Men are all idiots about sex. Welcome to life.

But I'm not...I never have been.

...And I didn't sleep with her.
