Everyone wants to be loved (open)

[Mia Bell]

Mia raised an eyebrow “People first approach? Like, you put other’s before yourself? Or?” She didn’t really know what he meant by that. But she was really interested in knowing, and made the clear by her gentle voice. She didn’t want him to think she was trying to tease him or something. She really did want to hear his views, and he would learn some time that it was hard for a person to embarrass himself or herself with her.

Mia grinned “Well if you ever need some practice, or someone to compare your skills with just let me know. I’m game for anything.” She didn’t mind making a fool of herself in front of Guy, maybe that would actually give him some courage and not be afraid to make a fool out of himself in front of her. Mia wasn’t the type to mock, put them down, or whatever, or at least she tried not to.

Mia blushed and scratched the back of her head “Well, I try! I work out every day. So thanks.” She was still trying to hide the fact that she was uneasy with his power. She didn’t want to be, but she wanted her secret, to well be kept a secret. She smiled at him warmly “Don’t worry, I understand, I really do. And my power can be pretty embarrassing.. I mean for those who know my power, they know that when it rains I’m probably crying. But… That isn’t always the case though…. Still..” her power was a nuisance, she couldn’t express her emotions or even hide them with her power.


“I mean… Like when I’m happy, the sun shines brighter which makes it hotter, which I really hate because I’m a cold person not a heat person… And it rains or snows if it cold enough when I’m sad. And when I’m mad, there’s dark clouds, thunder, lightning, and if I’m pissed off sometimes lightning strikes the ground or whatever. So yeah… I’ve been kind of afraid to experiment with my power and I can of don’t even want to.” And she rambled… “Sorry I rambled…” Mia went on to another litter box, she felt bad that she had forgotten about them and kind of let Guy do the rest. So she wanted to at least take the last one, if this was the last one.

[Guy Roeby]

“Well I do but... that’s not what I meant...” He laughed nervously, wondering if he should try explaining again. After a moment of hesitation, he decided he could try again. “Like when you’re thinking of someone who, say, is deaf or something, it makes a difference when you say ‘the deaf girl’ or ‘the girl who’s deaf’.” Maybe that made more sense now, but then again maybe not.

“You’ll be the first to know. Definitely.” Guy said, tucking the information into the back of his mind for safe keeping.

“You do?” He asked. “What do you do?” Guy liked to do a lot of drill work, bootcamp once in a while, and now he was excited to hear what she did. The better he got to know someone, the better control he had over his powers.

Guy listened carefully. She was a cold person, not a hot person. Her emotions were linked to typical weather associated with those emotions. Now a psychology about something like that, would be very interesting. Maybe he could ask Dr. Neville if there was even such a thing. But he was getting distracted again, and focused back on what she was saying. “It’s not a big deal,” he said, then glanced at her again, “I like listening.”

Walking towards the exit, Guy lifted up the scooper. “I have to go to the bathroom. Where’d you get this?” Maybe the statement and answer didn’t make sense together, but to him it did. This way, he could get two things done at once!

[Mia Bell]

Mia blinked at him “Oh?” She looked at him, very interested in what he had to say. “Oh! So your considerate ?” Hoping that she was getting it now.

Mia blushed not knowing how to really answer, she never really did drills. “Well, I jog every morning, though that’s not really working out… I do weight lifting, more running on the treadmill… And I’ve started taking a kick boxing class… That’s fun. I do yoga too. Though that’s not really working out. Pushups, sit ups..”


It was the reason why she hated her power, because her emotions are linked to it. She hated not being able to be made or pissed off without getting a headache because of her powers. And they scared her, what would happen if someone got her mad enough to cause something greater than a lightning storm? She scratched the back of her head “Good, because people say I talk a lot..”

“Uh, the closet down the hall…” Mia thought the two made sense, kill two birds with one stone. Even though she didn’t like that metaphor.

[Guy Roeby]

Guy nodded. "Mhm! Considerate!" That's what he meant exactly. Along with the fact that he didn't see people as their disabilities first, but rather as being people first. Maybe he could send her the article he had found which explained all this much better than he ever could. So much for sounding smart.

"All sounds like working out to me," he said. Guy wanted to offer to join her if she ever wanted someone around, because he knew working out was better with someone else. But he didn't know how to ask without sounding like a creep or looking like an idiot so he just kept on smiling like one instead.

"Hm," Guy said, not sure if he agreed with her or not, but he didn't know her so he couldn't really agree or not.

Humming to himself as he went down the hall, Guy did little spins mid walk and then kept on going. He found the supply closet, and after rinsing off the scooper, went to find the washroom. He did a little Moon Walk on his way to the sinks once he was done, but by the time he got back to Mia, he was only readjusting his hat and taking it easy.

"I had fun today," he said, picking up his backpack, "I usually just talk to the cats." Guy gave Mia a little wave, "I've got this homework to do. See you around school?"

[Mia Bell]

“I try to be considerate too! Granted sometimes it… just.. Doesn’t happen..” There were plenty of time where she had been selfish and didn’t think about others. But she was only human after all, right?

Mia chuckled and nodded “Yeah.” Mia probably would have been a little creeped out if he had asked to work out with her. But if they got closer and hung out more, than she wouldn’t mind it at all. She smiled at him, he was nice to talk to that was for sure.

Finishing up the last litter box while Guy went to do his own thing. By the time he came back she was just petting the cats. She looked up at him and smiled “I had fun too! Can’t wait till next Thursday!” She waved back “Ah yes! School! See ya around!” She completely forgot they went to the same school, sorry Guy…. Mia went to clean her scooper and put it back where she found it, then went to get her own back pack and walked out of the building. Looking at the time she had to get to work, anyways. So much stuff to do, so very little time.
