Obie happily curled up onto his lap, wrapping an arm around him and playing with his damp hair.
"I don't see how they can make you do anything love. Especially if it's something you don't want," she smiled reassurringly. "And I know what you mean. One of a few reasons why I refuse to take anything stronger than asprin," she smirked as she watched his damp curls fall from her fingers. "But then I can suffer and have my wonderful boyfriend take pity on me and force me to rest and relax for an afternoon," she smiled and looked back into his eyes.
"Has that girl tried to approach you again. I forget her name... Selene... S something," she smirked.

"They made you take things?" He asked her with a small frown, hugging her tightly and placing a kiss on her head. "They can't make me now I'm over eighteen." He smirked and rested his head against her's, closing his eyes.
"What girl?" He murmered. "I don't know anyone called Selene."

Obie frowned a little in confusion as she thought about what she had said.
"Ah... no. Nobody made me take anything. I did it all on my own. It was the feeling totally numb part that I was referring to," she smiled softly and continued to play with his hair. "It's not something I'm desperate enough to feel again."
At his murmured words, she smirked and tilted her head back to press a kiss to the side of his neck.
"I suppose that answers my question then," she murmured softly against his warm skin.

Ra blinked at her words and eased her back from him a moment.
"Did what all by yourself?" He asked, searching her face for a moment. She hadn't mentioned anything about tablets before. "Why did you have to take things?" He looked at her in concern for a moment and smiled.

Obie allowed him to ease her back, but then wished she hadn't at his question. Damn her big mouth, she thought as she tucked her hair out of her eyes again.
"Um... don't worry about it Ne-chan," she replied, a nervous flush starting to color her cheeks. "It's all in the past okay? There's no need to worry about it because I won't ever do it again," she said, looking up into his eyes for a moment, and then down at his shoulder, a slight frown on her brow.

"Do what Obie?" He asked, continuing to look at her with concern. What had she done? A million things ran through his head, none of them particularly nice. "You have to tell me now." He smiled and reached up to tuck some hair behind her ear. "You know you can tell me anything."

"Yeah, I know," she said softly, keeping her eyes on his shoulder. She didn't answer him right away and began to pick at an imaginary piece of lint on the shoulder she was looking at.
"Haven't you ever wondered why I was sent here in the first place?" she asked suddenly, looking up into his eyes. "Why they would spend the money to send me away to a prestigious prep school thousands of miles away, putting an entire ocean between me and them?" She paused and looked away again. "It's because I messed up, really bad, and they didn't want me anywhere near Isa." She paused again and shifted a little in his lap to face him a little more.
"You have to understand... I didn't have anyone... except for one person. He and I met in grade school and we were best friends from the moment we met. I guess when he got to Jr. High, that's when he started taking drugs, at parties and things. It wasn't long until he had gotten me to try them, promising me... that I would be able to forget everything, and I stupidly believed him," she said a bit hoarsely, unable to look Ra in the eyes anymore.
"He... died. An overdose of heroine. I was supposed to see him that day, but had not felt like going out. If I had I might have been able to..." she stopped again and took a deep breath, pushing up a mirthless smirk as she made herself look up at Ra again. "I took it really hard. I just wanted to forget everything. I almost followed him... the exact same way he had left me. But my parents found me. It was the only time they ever acted like they cared," she said, her smirk turning slightly bitter. "I woke up in the hospital a few days later, was shipped off to rehab, and a few months after that I was on the first flight over here".

Ra listened to her, waiting patiently for her to finish. When she did he hugged her close and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I hate the people that brought you up." He said, swallowing and looking up to her. "I hate them because they made you feel that worthless. And your friend, I'm sorry, but I hate him too, for allowing you to believe you were that worthless. Forgetting it not helping." He sighed and leaned forwards to rest his head against hers. "I'm glad they found you though, and obviously glad you are here. A good and amazing person."

She knew she should have expected it, but the worst case scenario had plagued her mind about this for so long, that when he pulled her into a hug, she blinked in a bit of surprise. She held his eyes as he spoke until he leaned forward again. Closing her eyes, she swallowed hard and took a deep breath. She would not cry over this. She had finished spilling tears over it years ago now.
"Yeah... I'm glad too," she said thickly, pressing a soft kiss to his hair. Smiling a little, she took a deep breath and pulled back a little.
"Did you remember to set the timer for the pizza?" she asked, to force her mind onto other things. "'Cause I can't smell anything... and hasn't enough time passed already?" she smirked a little.

Ra smirked up at her and placed his hands either side of her face.
"I know what i'm doing." He said with a small laugh, kissing her deeply for a moment. Breaking away he eased her off his lap and went to check on the pizza. It was almost done.
"What would you like to drink?" He asked as he got some plates out of the cupboard. "Orange juice?"

Obie blinked in surprise as he kissed her deeply, but quickly began to return it, smiling when he pulled away. Curling up on the cushion he had set her on, she pulled off the blanket she kept on the back of the sofa and unfolded it. She could feel her sinuses start to get clogged again, and sighed a bit.
"Orange juice would be perfect," she smiled as she sorted the blanket out over her legs. Watching him, she began to chew lightly on her lip.
"You... you really don't think poorly of me?" she asked a bit timidly.

Ra brought the pizza over and returned to get the juice.
"Why should I think bad of you?" He asked as he brought their drinks over and placed them on the coffee table. "You were young and confused. Now you're safe and well. I love you, but I have no right to judge you on what you did back then." He smiled and lifted up the blanket to join her. "Though if you'd feel more comfortable with an argument I can try and think something up." He smiled at her and handedher a plate with pizza on.

Obie smirked and took the plate from him.
"Um, no thanks. Our arguments tend to throw me for a loop. You're not very good at them," she teased as she settled against him and picked up a slice. Blowing gently on the slice, she smiled and took a small bite.
"It's not something I ever really wanted to tell you," she smirked. "Obviously it's not something I'm proud of. But now you know why I insist on suffering instead of taking meds to help me. I'm terrified of messing up again. Especially now when I've finally gotten my life sorted," she smiled as she picked off a pepperoni.

Ra nodded and smiled. Wrapping an arm around her and picking up a slice of pizza.
"I know what you mean to some degree." He said with a nod. "I mean, the stuff I had to take was horrible, when I'd have to come off it. I'd get full on withdrawals." He smirked and took a bite of the pizza. "Which is why you don't drink I'm guessing? Well, at least we are a perfect match then."

Obie looked up at him and grimaced a little. That had been the worst part, the withdrawls. Having to get herself clean again. That had been enough to scare her into straightening out. She never wanted to feel that way again.
"Yeah. That's why I don't drink, take over the counter meds, or smoke... anymore... again. I'm glad you've stopped. I don't think I could have held out on that one still if you were still smoking, since you're kinda the one that got me started again back at the Academy," she smirked and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.
"Well... now you officially know all about my sordid past," she smirked. "I really don't think I have any more skeletons to hide. How about you? Do I know everything about you?"
