[ she crawls onto the bed after him, resting her head on his shoulder. ]
You're not wrong. [ even a blind man could see that yancy's madly in love with naomi. naomi gets a pass on not realizing since she's spent so long thinking he would only ever be a father to their child, not a lover as well. ] But you and I both know that Yancy wouldn't know love if it danced in front of him naked.
[ alison's just as frustrated as tendo, really. it sucks just sitting by and watching the two of them dance around each other and cause all kinds of heartache. ... but what if they didn't have to just sit around? ]
You know what we should do? We should play matchmaker.
[ tendo's arm comes around alison as soon as she settles down beside him and he turns hi face towards her so he can brush his lips to her forehead.
it's a sad, sad day when the world is finally safe from kaiju, but the people he cares about don't get the happiness they deserve. and it's a prayer that he thinks on each day he gets up in the morning to the light of the sun: Hi God, it's me again. Thank you, for letting us get through this in one piece. Not sure if you're so busy up there, but remember that thing I told you about the last time? Well, if you have any to spare, I could really use some insight on how I can help steer things the right way.
he chuckles a little when his wife suggests that they play matchmaker and he exhales a long, suffering sigh: ] Good luck with finding anyone to pimp Mimi's way. There are a couple of guys up in LOCCENT who adore that girl, but Yancy scares the crap outta them.
[ because it feels wrong. and maybe it's because he got lucky and married the girl of his reams and he wishes his best friend could do the same ( because really, even raleigh and mako have paired off in their own unique way ) because yancy and naomi are so stupidly right for each other. sure, fine, maybe that's only because little yancy was a shatterdome kid: daughter to a well-respect ex-ranger and the ppdc's beautiful and intelligent media liaison. but... it's just sad. and wrong. and what was that thing his dad used to say: oh yeah, sobrang sayang. a fucking waste. ]
Nah, babe. Unless it's someone not from the corps, I doubt we can pull up anyone to romance her.
[ he falls quiet then, and a thought occurs to him. ]
Do you remember the night we went on that date? [ the night we thought we'd lost our boys, he doesn't add. ]
[ it's sad, but what he's saying is true. people in the ppdc have too much respect for yancy to horn in on his turf. because everyone knows ( except maybe for yancy himself ) that he and naomi were pretty much made for each other. and it's not just because they have a kid together.
but... alison's wonderful husband seems to have an idea. she knows that look on his face. even if she's got no idea what he's thinking up, she can tell it's gonna be good. ]
I don't know how I could forget. [ for a number of reasons, not the least of which was them thinking they'd lost their boys. ] Why?
