I step out of the portal into Bill's room.
Bill (sternly): John, where have you been?
Me: At my house, why, can't I?
Bill: Next time warn me, got it? (resentfully) I'm trying to make him a nice dinner and he disappears in the middle of nowhere...
Me (sitting down next to Bill and kissing him on the cheek): I'm sorry, I won't do it again... I was just trying to find what I was told to take away from the stories, that is, seriousness, but I can't figure out what exactly that manifests itself in.
Bill: You sing first. The noodles are still warm.
Me: Thank you. (starting to eat quickly).
Bill: Whoa, whoa, slow down! You're gonna choke!
Me: Sorry...
Bill: By the way, how long are you staying?
Me: I don't know, honestly. If my seriousness lies in me, what's the point of me being here?
Bill (pleadingly): Don't go, I beg you... My heart just can't take it.
Me: But what am I supposed to do? I still haven't found the seriousness, then what should I write? You realize I almost wrote today about kissing you and me on the beach.
Bill: What? John, did you hit your head or something?
Me: No.
Bill: Then don't. By the way, I'm in Combat Canines now!
Me: What?! I hope...
Bill: No no, honey, it's not your fault. It has to be.
Me: Then I'll warn Jarana, I mean Hiro... You get the idea.
Bill nods.
Me: And please let me go tonight. I'm already embarrassed in front of the others.
Bill: No. You're spending the night here. I said it all.
Me: But Billy...
Bill: No buts! Let's eat and go to bed.

Glad your back -hugs-

Where would I go without you? (cradling Blizzard in my arms) I'm just trying to find something you want me to put away. I mean, seriousness. But it's so hard.

Awww -hugs-

indeed
