purely platonic [slime x mariana]

If only.

"MARIANA?!" I yelled back in confusion.

"What are you doing here man?" He asked me.

I responded," Foolish took me here. Thought I would come and check it out."

He let out a small sigh and said, " Well did you like the show?"

I was kind of shocked. He looked down but I could tell that he was blushing. "Yeah it was um it was good Mariana you looked really good up there," I stuttered out.

He looked up at me and there was a light pink spreading across his cheeks. By"Jesucristo, ¿por qué estabas aquí?" He asked in spanish. (He said Jesus Christ why were you here)

"It was uh It was nice that you were here. Do you want to head back to my place now?" He asked me. I said sure and we went back to his place, chatting along the way about random things.

When we got there my eyes traveled to the large statue he had made of our dead daughter, Juanaflipa. "I still miss her," I thought outloud.

"I know Charlie but I don't know I'd there is uh anything we can do," he said sadly.

I nodded and followed him inside. I was not done looking for ways to bring her back. "So, Mariana how has it been?" I asked.

He turned to me and said, "It's been ok. I'm going to go and shower. Can you um wait here?"

I nodded and he headed off to shower, while he was showering I decided to explore a little. I walked around the dark house, not much has changed, it's still empty as ever.

After a little while Mariana got out of the shower and came back to me. " What do you want to talk about," he asked me.

I've never realized this before but after Juanas death, he looks older. " How have you been holding up since you know?" I responded quietly.

He looked down and shrugged, " I've been sad you know, we lost our daughter, y seinto que te perdí," he muttered out.

We stared at each other. I dont know what the fuck he said but I really want to help him. I want to take his pain away, of course I don't think he's going to accept me into his life again, after everything. If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't take me back. We began to chat about random things, about the new Portuguese speakers on the server, about Gegg, and about life in general. It was nice to have an actual conversation with him, when all we used to do was argue. A few hours later I looked out the window and saw just how dark it had gotten. " Well it's late I should probably leave, it was uh nice catching up with you Mariana," I said, sad that our time was already up.

He nodded and muttered, "Sí, era Te veré por Slime."
