Ryota grinned as she mentioned his bangs. "Yes, I know. I despise haircuts, you know." He paused before answering her question. "No, it's not okay with you. I can tell. I'm...I can hear the pain in your voice." He hesitated; he knew that pain was his fault and he hated causing it. "I might be afraid, just a little. But even if..." he stopped again. He knew what he would say might hurt her, but he must say it. "Even if you ..kill me or something, I'm okay with it." He gave a bitter chuckle. "Not that it would matter if I care or not. I'd be dead. But what I mean is, I'm not afraid of death. In fact, sometimes I look forward to it. And to die at the hands of someone that I know cares about me, would be better than dying any other way."
Ooc: No, he's not emo. He looks forward to the afterlife and eternal happiness.
Lexi smiled, " Do you want me to tell you my history? " she sighed..... " It's a long story but it's really interesting.... " Lex took a breath of fresh air, " I hope... i just hope I won't kill you.... because I could never live with myself... "

Ryota gave her an encouraging smile. He didn't want to see her in pain again. "Sure," he replied. He took her hand and pulled her to a bench. He sat her down beside him and, still holding her hand, looked straight at her and said "Go for it."
" My name is Alexandria Merchent.... I was born in 1668, in a little town called Boston, Massachutses..... Yeah I was born before the American Revelution. As a kid I loved horses. I had one named Penny, I saved her from a mean person who beat her. I also had a colt named Patriot, who was named after the Patriot army. When I was sixteen I was bitten by a crimpesses and I've lived throught the American Revelution, Great Depression, and the Pony Express. " Lexi stopped to breath

Ryota made a sound of interest like "mm" as she finished. "That's pretty strange," he admitted. "To be sitting here, holding hands with a girl who's seen a major war and..." he shook his head, almost in disbelief. "Wow," was all he could say. "that's quite a story..." Ryota looked at the floor. "And I'm sorry." Looking up at her again, he continued "That would..." he searched for a word. Came up with nothing except "That would suck."
Lexi sayed, " My parrents died in the Revalution time.... I hatted the Depression... kids with nothing to eat dying, starving, and alone. It was so sad..... and then I finnaly was able to go to school, this year.... and then I met you, Ryota, you light up my life. " She squezzed his hand....

Ryota let out an awkward chuckle. "Well, I'm glad I can be of some use to someone," he replied casually, his face slightly red. He had the sudden urge to let go of her hand and move away so their legs would not be touching...but he couldn't, he knew how much she liked him..."This has been a very strange day," he commented. "We knew each other but...barely. And the bit we did know...we hated." He chuckled. "Then you threw that pencil at me...and I threw it back....and I passed you a note." He paused. "Then you ended up hating me again. And now look." He gestured with his other hand to their entwined fingers.
Lexi smiled, " Yeah. it's pretty strange.... my step-mom doesn't even care for me..... " She squeezed his hand again. She knew he was just doing this to make her feel better, but she liked it alot....

Ryota shook his head slowly. "I'm really sorry, Lexi," he sighed again. He wondered if she liked telling him about her life...or if it was just painful for her. As she squeezed his hand he smiled slightly. He could tell she liked this, being close to him physically. "I feel really bad for you, you know," he sighed. "It sounds like your centuries-long life really sucked...and still does...If I'm making it better, then good. But I never knew I was that...awesome, as you said." His eyes sparkled as he looked at her.
" It really... really sucked... " She sighed, " I thought we were going to go somewhere, weren't we? " Alex sighed..... " You are awsome, to me... " then she smiled.
