Missing You (Cam)

"I could totally see you as a stunt man," Ravyn grinned. That sounded perfect for the daredevil. "You'd be awesome at it." She had sort of forgotten Cam was a year (well, actually two, since she was a year behind) younger than her, and the thought of not seeing him as often made her upset. So they hadn't talked in a while, but this conversation made it obvious that they picked up where they left off really quickly. "I'm planning on going to Russia over winter break. You should come!" That would be awesome! Although, she had considered offering the same to Noah.... Would it be weird to ask them both?

She pretended to lash out at his hair, but gently poked his nose instead.

So he was a he? That was all Ravyn knew. For all she knew, he could be talking about Dec, or that Fer guy that she had seen him with on occasion. She didn't know about all of Cam's interests (no one did), but she didn't pry. "I'm sorry," she murmured, feeling for him. Those situations sucked. She wasn't quite sure what else to say. What could you say? There were no words that could heal an aching heart. That just took time. She watched as he made the lights on the ceiling dance, reliving those moments in the past when it had been her that made him do it. It made her smile faintly. "Then I'd say, just keep seeing people. Don't make solid commitments. You might find someone else, or this guy might realize he feels the same. No one's saying you need to decide now. I don't know." She let out a small sigh, grabbing a pillow and wrapping her arms around it. Love just kinda sucked sometimes.

She looked over at him when he asked a question. "Friend," she said automatically. Although she wasn't quite sure what he meant.

"You would be." Ravyn was entirely sure of this. She snorted a little at his life insurance comment, but didn't comment. She hoped he wouldn't hurt himself. But she wouldn't say that, that would just make him laugh. She did, however, grin at his obvious excitement. "If you can get the money by the second week of December, you abso-freaking-lutely can." Her heart rate jumped up a notch. She hadn't had someone come to Russia with her before! She had thought about asking Lucah in the past, but that obviously wasn't going to happen anymore. "My mom and grandparents would love you. They haven't met any of my friends before." Now she couldn't wait for winter to get here!

Indecisiveness was definitely something Ravyn could relate to. It had gotten her into sticky situations on more than one occasion.

She pouted, looking over at Cam. "Do I need to go talk to this guy and tell him how awesome you are and how great you are in bed?" she asked, trying to put a little light on the situation. Even though she knew nothing about the latter. Not quite. Ravyn gave a small laugh, but turned serious again soon after. "Have you ever hinted at having anything more with him?" she asked. It seemed like an obvious enough question, especially knowing Cam, but you could never be sure.

Ravyn scooted next to him again, laying a wing over him. She felt oddly protective of his feelings, which was ironic, considering she had hurt them so much in the past. "Narrowing is a good thing, right?" She fluffed the pillow and rested her cheek on it, looking in his direction. "Hmmm." She wasn't quite sure what to say. "How about this. Do you think if you did get serious with someone, you would be tempted to cheat on them with other people? Or..." She thought. "Have you asked anybody that you're seeing how serious they want to be? Or are these just assumptions? Because you never know unless you ask." Ravyn gave him a smile, wishing she was better at this than she was.

Ravyn couldn't help but beam at him. She had been nervous about this conversation, but now she was wondering why - he was still the same old Cam, and their relationship was as strong as ever, if not even more so. If Noah did come along, Ravyn would of course take Cam's feelings into account and only do possibly couple-y stuff if he wasn't around - that was, if Noah even wanted to or could go, and if he wasn't with someone else, which was entirely possible. It made her sad, but she focused on the happiness she got from knowing Cam wanted to come, at least! "Oh Gooood, my grandma makes the best pirozhki in the world," she told him, sighing dreamily. "You're going to gain like, ten pounds over the break. We eat so much during that time of the year."

She grinned, glad he had taken her comment light-heartedly - she hadn't been sure how he would react, but it was so awesome for them to be able to act like this around each other. "Hmm. Well then, he's missing out." She nodded decisively, catching his glance. There was still a spark there, she could tell, but she felt only platonic love, which was the best there could be between them. She would never forget about what they had shared, though.

"Why should he kno-" Oooh. That was how he should know. Ravyn didn't realize he was a mind reader. That sort of put a twist on everything. She ran through a list of male telepaths that she knew of, but there were several, so she didn't put a name on him. "Being around metas makes things so difficult sometimes," she sympathized. "Maybe... Maybe he's one of those guys that doesn't want to admit that he's attracted to men?" Although if they flirted, that kind of killed that idea. But you never knew. If only they both knew about Chester's devotion to staying out of Cam's mind.

"Oh." She frowned at him, sighing. "Any other way you could narrow it down? Maybe someone you've known the longest?" She was running out of ideas, but she desperately wanted to help him out. She hadn't thought he would be tempted, but it was still something to consider. "Yeah, I know how loyal you are, that was a dumb question," she told him, smiling gently. His rambling sentence made her mind go blank for a moment, until he stopped. "You just live for the moment, Cam. And I think that's perfectly fine. From what you've told me... I don't really think you're ready to settle. You just have too much love to spread around, you know?"

Being a kid forever would be awesome. "I loooove those movies," she smiled, thinking back on her own childhood. Yes, they had Disney in Russia too. She wrapped her arm tightly around him as he snuggled close to her, planting a kiss on his temple. "I don't think you should give up. Maybe just take a break. Here." She untangled herself from him for a moment, long enough to go over to his stash of movies, grab Aladdin, and set it in his DVD player. She grabbed a blanket and walked back over to the bed, throwing it over both of them as she cuddled back next to him again. "How about we just be kids for tonight?" she asked as the opening credits started.
