MCA #1- Friday evening

[thatwaslucky]

It had been a while since they'd had a sangria night, and they were pretty much due. This time it was at Rey's apartment, which had her trying to clean up some since she didn't have people over much, and she was doing that despite the fact that she didn't have much of anything. Several years in and the place was still pretty bare bones aside from the mermaid sofa and assorted mismatched furniture.

She'd ordered pizza, and it had occurred to her that she hadn't asked if Summer was bringing the sangria or not, so she'd gotten a couple bottles of something and hoped it was okay, just in case. And if not, someone was going to have to have a party she could donate it to.

[For girls night!]

Summer snorted faintly. "Not without feeling like I'd just kicked a puppy in the face with nuclear bomb combat boots, probably," she said dryly. "When I suggested that maybe we didn't do anything really special together for my birthday, it was like telling him that all the jello shots had tuna in them."

Actually, maybe an all tuna jello night might be the way to--

--no, no. That was the chugged half glass of sangria talking, clearly.

Rey almost asked if Summer was sure they knew they weren't dating anymore, but she didn't think that would help.

"Do you need someone to talk to him? Or do you want to go somewhere to get space?"

She could help with either.

"I think he needs someone to talk to him," Summer said, "that isn't me. Not even about me, even. Just, like, you know, in general. And I think I'm fine with space. If I needed space, it's not like I don't know how to take it. That's never been an issue for me."

"It's just being made someone's whole world," she said.

"....yeah." That word, accompanied with that drawn out, tired sigh, and a glance into her cup before taking a drink was definitely going to be a theme tonight. Summer was going to take just a small sip, this time, but, after reconsideration, she went in for a longer second one.

"So," she concluded, "that's that, I guess..."

"I'm sorry it took so long for us to do this," Rey said. Because this was pretty needed when things were sucking.

"I mean," said Summer, "you did ask, a while ago, when it first happened. But I just....I don't know, it didn't really feel like there was a whole lot to say about it, and you've just been so busy with all your stuff back home...I just kind of figured you weren't really interested, and I really couldn't blame you, either."

"Never think I'm not interested in what's happening with you. Short of me actively fighting with lightsabers at the time, if you want to talk, I'm there," Rey assured her. "I just didn't want to pry in case you were still working through it."

Also, ex-boyfriend at the bar. That confused a lot of things.
