Seamus Reinhardt leans against the front of the community center after practice, waiting for L. He was a little short and moody, but over all his usual self at and after school. Practice had gone well, but he had headed out the second it was over.
Elena Horatio walks up to the front of the community center .. "ello, 'he says a bit breathless jogging up to Seamus 'so.. ' he say softly looking at his best friend
Seamus Reinhardt looks at L an shrugs. "Not here. Come on. Follow me." he heads in and up the stairs, pausing at what looks like the top, fiddling with the lock and opening the door after about thirty seconds and one "Come on you fucker." aimed at the knob.
Elena Horatio follows him watching him as he opens the locked door not saying a word . ' so I see you're skilled with .. ze doors now ' he say raising an eyebrow ..'very interesting .. so you dating Kandy now.. 'he say in a non judgmental tone.. 'how zis come about '
Seamus Reinhardt shrugs. "I've had this talent for like a year. Learned it in Vancouver." he steps out and looks out over the city. Then he sighs and turns to look at his bestie. "Yea. Owen told you we met up at the pizza place, then." he arches his brows. "I've seen her around school. She's pretty and doesn't seen to be a bitch. So I asked her out." he sighs. "Owen said you two had issues? Like what?" he shoves his hands in his pockets and leans against the supports
Elena Horatio exhales 'I don't know .. I guess its cause we are different.. 'he exhales .. 'we value different zings. I guess.. she doesn't get my obsession wiz scifi and I don't get her obsession wiz her zing.. she gets mad at me all ze time but instead of just say ze she carries on and on and on about it ..while er mouth is chomping on za bubblegum ' he exhales ..'I zink she just hates zat my side of ze room is a mess but its not a wastedump.. ' he scoffs trying to be nice since he can tell that Seamus very likes zis one
Seamus Reinhardt listens. "Wall, dude .. face it ... you're different from EVERYONE." he light heartedly teases, mock punching him on the arm. Then he chuckles. "Yea ... she .. she can talk, can't she." he snorts. He grins. "Dude, she sounds like your sister." he tells him. "I mean me and Owen go back and forth with that that. He likes Dr Who and I like Firefly and Lego."
Elena Horatio looks at you .. 'and if she don't shut up about Daniel .. zatshisname 'he stomp his feet .. 'if i ear again how she loved him better in ze theatre zen that emo movie Arry whoisit .. 'he exhales 'she apparently love ze movie because I got an earful when I didn't know my niffler from my krumplehonksnorekack .. 'he sighs .. i like sci fi.. better so sue me 'he say .. and raises an eyebrow.. 'is zis what it is to have a sibling .. ' he say realizing it .. with a bit of emotion to his voice.
Seamus Reinhardt laughs. "Yea .... I just kinda ... nod and shit. And if she keeps yapping .. I kiss her or something." he laughs. "Well, I like sci-phi too but different than you looks like ... like I'm a Brown coat." he nods. "Yea .. that's what it's like to have a sibling. Well ... it is for brothers. I DO love my brother, even if he is a pain in the ass Puritan." he starts. "Hey .... you will NEVER believe it. Mr Reece wants some kind of meeting with me. You know the math teacher for the older kids." Shay is in advanced classes for math.
Elena Horatio looks at you 'well i cant do zat .. cuz no offense to you but she isn't my type but I'm glad you're appy ' he smiles he nods 'kind of weird but yeah .. zat what it feels like a sister .. ' he exhales 'one zat i have nozing in common wiz.. i like scifi and she like fantasy .. and she like tennant .. butt just cuz she was like wasn't he barty crouch.. he is dream boat ' he rolls his eyes 'ever one like tennant cuz he ze sexy doctor 'he shakes his head ..'puritan..' he questions ' he then gets excited ' C'est magnifique. 'he laughs clapping for him 'good for you 'he beams
Seamus Reinhardt considers. "Yea. I'm happy. I guess. Got a girlfriend out of it." he nods. "I like Harry Potter, but ... and do't tell my family cause I'm in enough shit with them as it is ... I'm no Potterhead." he nods. "Yea. Puritan. Or just freaked out I am not a virgin like he is." he sighs. "But he gets kinda .. I dunno ... like hes better than me." he rolls his eyes and then smiles. "Yea. I mean I KNOW I aced that last test ad I'm the ONLY 13 year old in his class." he looks proud. "Fucked up as I am ... I'm a good athlete AND get good grades."
Elena Horatio laugh softly 'well at least she isn't mutter MY boyfriends name in her sleep. ' he say exhaling .. and laughs .. 'don't tell zat to Your girlfriend 'he kids 'I swear she wish SHE was married to him .. she like e is alf Jewish too .. 'he rolls his eyes .. 'keeps tell me I'm a typical Ravenclaw whatever zat means ' he exhales . he pats Seamus shoulder 'he doesn't feel zat way .. he just goes at different speed.. .. your not worst or better zen anyone.. your SEamus REinhardt .. your ze only Seamus Reinhardt in ze ole world zat is YOU ' he beams .. 'no one could ever take your place.. 'he beams 'so you discover your sexuality early everyone beats a different drum . but zat what makes the world a better symphony .. no two notes alike . 'he smiles . ' well zat is what you are special in your own right .. no one can take zat away from you.
Seamus Reinhardt blinks. "Wait ... she talked about me in her sleep?" he looks amused. "What did she SAY?" he asks and then laughs. "Yea you are kinda like that. A Ravenclaw." he sighs. "I wish it worked that way?" he sighs. "I'm Seamus Reinhardt .... youngest of the Reinhardt kids ... under Fiona and Logan and Owen. The stubborn one. The pain i the ass one." he sighs. "Well my parents ad Owen at least act like I'm selling cock on a street corner almost." he blows out a breath and mocks them "You're too young, Shay." and he rolls his eyes, swallowing hard and looking off to the town again, as if in a little bit of pain.
Elena Horatio looks upset for the pain he see in his best friend 'she say more.. ... 'he shakes his head scrunching up his nose 'don't make me repeat it .. it was ard to ear ze first time ' he shakes his head like trying to shake the though out of his head . ' well your not.. you're just a orny normal orny teenager... I zink parent forget what it was like to be full and ranging of ormones .. 'he exhales.. 'all ze bills and responsibility makes zem have amnesia .. zat ze were orny teens once too 'he chuckles 'my parent.. ' he rolls his eyes 'still are like zat .. I zink I don't see zem enough to know but ze act like irresponsible college kids zere amnesia is zey ave a teen aged kid .. 'he rolls his eyes 'but ze do care if ze are overreacting at least ze are reacting ' he point out .. he smiles ' wel you .. are you .. special and wonderful Seamus.. you're ze only one zat can get me to spill my guts.. wizout having to kiss me zat is ' he laugh softly ..'i feel like i can just tell you anyzing..and know you wont tell everyone.
Seamus Reinhardt sighs. "I know they love me. And thanks .. for spilling your guts. I can talk to you too." he shrugs. "You're my best friend, L." he confesses. "Even if you're with my brother. I'll keep your secrets and you BETTER keep mine." he motions at the door with the lock he picked. And then he grins, almost wickedly. "Now tell me what she said about me? Kandy?" cause he has to know if it was good or bad.
Elena Horatio makes a face and smirks and cross his arm and rolls his eyes.. 'only cuz your my best friend .. he say pained ' don't worry lover boy . your .. very skill in your craft .. ' he rolls his eyes, pinching his bridge of his nose and rubbing it . 'if i have to ear in detail about your nezer region . again it will be to soon .. 'he laugh softly looking at his friend ' don't worry you're ze best she ever had.. 'he shakes his head 'yeah well if I ever spill my guts you can have your girlfriend torture regaling me about how many times you drove her to ecstasy 'he jokes .. well shell do that anyways . but you get the drift ' he laughs softly.
Seamus Reinhardt 's jaw drops and he laughs but doesn't blush much. He rubs his face with one hand. "Um ... well .... now you know what to expect from Owen?" he offers and laughs just thinking of his brothers reaction to this conversation. "I like driving her .. what can I say ...." he laughs again, completely flattered and amused. "I can't promise she won't talk in her sleep again, but ... um .. yea."
Elena Horatio blushes big time at that but looks off to tot the distance looking toward the cozy Reinhardt abode and going a bit pink and sweating but a bit dreamy fanning himself with a steel hand fan he pull out of his jacket .. he looks clears his throat 'umm.. yeah .. i guess . 'he stutter ' good thing Owen's is the slow one right in that aspect 'he laughs nervously and swallow and recovers back his more reserves . and listens and the talk sobers him 'he laugh softly nervously a bit 'well i promise i wont shove a pillow in her face.. cuz she is yours.. but don't mean I'll like it .. he say knowingly
Seamus Reinhardt snorts. "Yea ..... I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on HIM." he smirks. "Think he'd get mad if i gave you a vibe for your birthday?" that smirk is pure unadulterated evil. "Yes, please don't suffocate my girlfriend. If you want to beat your Boyfriend ... well, I have a room to myself, so don't let me stop ya."
Elena Horatio looks at you blushing .. 'you better not tell him if you do.. 'what if I don't mind wanting .. if what she says is right and she isn't exaggerating I don't wish to be gorged to my death .. ' he say all posh like but intrigued. he exhales softly 'do you beat my boyfriend .. and I wont suffocate your girlfriend .. 'he counters weekly ' how can an angel and a devil come out of ze same woman ' he kids shaking his head smiling looking all jokingly 'well we both have our own rooms but that be for a second before well ave a roommate in a cell 'he laughs softly so ill keep my room mate alive and your keep yours 'he smiles'beside I'm falling for yours.. quickly ' he sighs softly looking all lovey dovey but happy
Seamus Reinhardt grins. "Then play games with him or something. God knows that oy needs t get laid. Might relax his ass." he snorts. "Yea .. well .. I can't promise we won't fight L ... man that's like 70% of our relationship .. apparently from the day we met." he laughs ad shakes his head. "No idea. but I'm glad to know that devil is in there. Gives me hope for the Zero-man." then his face actually softens. "Thats good tho, if your falling for Owen. I told you Reinhardts fall hard and forever." he laughs. "Well ... most of them." he clearly doesn't count himself in that number.
Elena Horatio smirks 'somezings are worth ze wait.. he just say softly ' its not his ASS I'm worried about .. he say softly .. ' well zat okay .. I guess. cuz all me and miss queens do is argue.. she zink I'm dense because i prefer my corset on ze outside.. .. ' L rolls his eyes.. 'I'm like zat is steampunk fashion . she say its oddly .. your unmentionable go on ze inside .. I'm muttering .. well yours end up on ze floor so why do you talk .. zat shuts her up for about a second.. most wonderful.. well ' he blushes ' the second wonderful second. well ze last a lot longer zen second ' he trails off getting all pink think about the last hard long make out session with Owen and shakes his head 'look now I'm sounding like er.. 'he exhales 'love is a many splendor zing 'he exhales softly
Seamus Reinhardt grins. "I'll try and send her home tired, so you don't fight. She doesn't come to our games." he rolls his eyes. "But I guess she has to study." he smirks again. "Now I want to see this corset." he winks. "Hers, I can see yours the next time you come over for that god awful Dr. Who." he teases and watches his buddy. "I guess ... that's OK then. I won't get in your way. You two get along well, so its not like you'll fight .. over anything but MY ass."
Elena Horatio: cuz I don't like your ASS 'he laughs rolls his eyes .. 'well at least your pairing has some merit ... soo yeah do that have her so tired .. she be quiet as ze grave' he turns to you 'why would she want to support you .. I study a lot but .. ' he seem a bit upset that she would want to support his closest friend 'yeah I bet you see er.. its not a corset just one of zose rubber zings that she says the Kardashians wear 'he rolls his eyes . 'mine is a proper Victorian steampunk corset he laughs softly ' I don't wear zem all the time just when I'm in my steampunk gear.. I don't wear it everyday .. 'he laughs 'Doctor Who is not god awful 'he laughs softly but smiles knowing his buddies is messing with him 'it takes some patience and brains to watch ' he jest back
Seamus Reinhardt laughs."I don't like YOUR ass either." he rolls his eyes, but then actually smiles. "No .. I actually like that she doesn't." he tells her. "She isn't after me because I'm the star center, you know? And she isn't stupid. It's like she likes me FOR me. Sam .." he shrugs at mentioning his ex. "It's neat .. she likes me like you said .. for ME." he smirks at the corset thing. "You're ALMOST as easy as HE is and I love ya for it." he teases. "Man, I do NOT get Dr Who. You and Owen can have it ALL to yourselves in that little phone booth thing." he places his hand on his chest. "I'm just the dumb jock baby brother, thank you very much."
Elena Horatio laughs softy 'well good cuz I don't find you all appeal as mate 'he laugh and smirk 'Ok you're a bit attractive after all you still a Reinhardt and have the same genetic base as my beloved Owen 'he jokes but 'i like you for you not for your body . 'he laughs he know . 'well yeah she isn't a completely airhead or i would have had my room change from day one.. 'he smiles 'she at least understands what I'm saying and I don't have to dumb down my arguing so she can understand it 'he smile 'easy.. he questions but shrugs 'well at least I make him appy so that should relieve so tension.. cuz even zo he works at a slower speed which is my style . he still a orny teenage. 'he laughs 'don't tell him but I sorta like waving ze whole bi sexual zing in front of him .. he so cute when he blushes 'he smiles 'but if you tell him zat I'll have to make Miss New York a bit mad ' he say defensively ' your no a dumb jock .. I don't ang around dumb people.. zat are .. well not trying to do something about I.. it ur." Elena Horatio laughs softly .'well zat is me and Owen in nutshell me and him in my tardis in our own world 'he smiles happily 'speaking of worlds.. I have to catch a tardis to beat my nemesis the cyberman of the academy .. Mortimer .. I swear zere is two of I'm .. always taking ze music room.. zere are plenty of room why does he have to chose number 3?"
Seamus Reinhardt looks at his phone. "Come on." he leads L back down the stairs, locking the door behind them. On the way down and on the street outside, he replies. "Beloved, huh? There's one thing I wouldn't tell him for a mint of money to keep up with my high maintenance girlfriend." he teases. He laughs, "I'm not a dumb jock except to those girls that want me to be." he winks and opens the door to the street. "Well .. he's slow and I'm fast." Then he turns and gives the latest boy buds handshake. "Yea, I need to go to The Gym. Work out some before dinner." he laughs about Mortimer and they go their separate ways.

Agree to Disagree - Seamus and Owen
Seamus Reinhardt has come tearing into hos home with three minutes to spare before he was late and dinner was on. However, he was also visibly filthy. His mother took one look at him and demanded he go clean up and THEN come to dinner. That made him the last at the dinner table ten minutes later.
But he'd gotten home on TIME, which was all he really cared about.
After dinner, Logan and Kurt had stayed for a little bit to chat about classes and life with the family before they took off on what had become their habitual Saturday night walk around the island. Fiona and Vincent has also gone someplace close. The Community Center was showing some ancient horror movie called Nosferatu. Seamus's parents had stayed down the longest and they had admitted they were glad he had at least made it back in time and didn't need yet another grounding. Then they had put on a movie to watch that Seamus really wasn't interested in. Instead he went upstairs and got on his laptop, doing a little research .. just not for school. He found a picture of One Court Square in Queens, New York and saved it. Then he set his old laptop on the floor and began to lay out the foundation for a miniature.
Owen had quietly watched his brother come in filthy, get hell for it and then come to the table. He hadn't said anything, even though he was curious as to why and where he had gone with Kandy. L was still studying like crazy so he tried to get into the movie his parents chose and watched about half of it and then getting up to use the bathroom and deciding to just go upstairs after instead of sitting back down with them. They were engrossed so they didn't seem to notice his drifting away. He casually walked into the room he shared with Shay and stopped just short of stepping on the laptop "Shit......maybe not in the middle of the floor Shay? What are you doing?"
Seamus looked up when Owen spoke. "Building the tallest building in Queens." he explained, as if that should be obvious. he moved the laptop onto his bed and moved the Lego into a corner. "Hey ... what was all that about when you first showed up at the pizza joint?" he asks, in a good enough mood to engage in conversation.
Owen tilted his head "Queens? OK....." He sat down on the floor and leaned his elbow on his knee, letting his one leg stick up and the other fall to the side "I was surprised to see you with Kandy. She's kind of....well L said she's been crushing on a lot of guys....including me and Vincent. The one time I met her before tonight she was really weird and flirty with me right in front of L....maybe it's just her personality....but how well do you know this girl?"
Seamus nods and listens as he works on his build with small blue and green Lego. "Crushing on as in flirting, or crushing on as in ... going out with .. or more?" he asks. "I know her well enough to ask her on a date." he replies. "My first, by the way. Thought I'd see if it was all you said it would be."
Owen snorts "I'm obviously not dating anyone but L. The other crush was Vincent and I'm pretty sure he's madly in love with our sister. Those are the two L told me about. So no, not more, just awkward......" He sighs at his brother "I want you to be happy. I'm not trying to be an ass, just concerned. So was it a good first date then?" He decides not to immediately call him on the fact that L saw them through the window heading for the woods, and see what Seamus tells him.
Seamus nods. "Yea. So she thinks your both cute." he shrugs. "But she went OUT with me." he grins. He sighs back. "I know you worry, Owen." and he smiles a bit. "Yea. I mean we split a calzone and we walked and talked. And we're going out again next Sunday, since I have a game Saturday." he pauses. "Who knows ... maybe I'll even introduce her to Mom and Dad. I mean you know .. we had like ... conversation and shit."
Owen looks suspiciously at Shay. This sounds almost innocent, so he asks an innocent question with the purpose of probing a bit "Sounds like you hit it off if you're thinking of introducing her..." He has a sudden image of Fiona roasting Kandy over a spit and chanting some sort of hex and has to swallow not to let out a laugh before asking his innocent question "Did you....kiss her goodbye?"
Seamus sort of nods. "Yea. Maybe. After Sam, though .. I don't know if that would be smart. They'll probably...." and then he asks about the kiss and he gives a lopsided grin, and stands, closing their bedroom door. He returns to his corner. "Yes. I kissed her. Several times."
Owen notes the door closing "Is she the same age as Sam? I'm bad with keeping track of who's in what grade with all the mixed classes at this school, and I'm dating someone a year older too so what can I even say?"
Seamus leans against the wall. "Yea. She's 15, just like Sam. Grades don't mean a lot in our school. I like that." he shrugs. "And it's only 2 years, man. I'm not dating college girls." he protests.
Owen snorts "Yet.....but that all sounds pretty normal. Sharing food, talking, kissing. So that's pretty much a date."
Seamus laughs lightly. "I'm working my way up the food chain. Canadian, American .. maybe college girls someday, right?" he nods. "So, I got the date thing down, huh. Nice to know I'm not a total airhead jock."
Owen chuckles "I'm no expert....still fumbling through every one...." He picks up his plaid flannel pajama pants from the floor and stands up to change into them. He's in for the night so why not be comfy? His ratty jeans just get dropped onto another slice of floor. He looks down at the lego "So you're making that because of Kandy? Her accent's from New York?"
Seamus nods as his brother changes. "Yea. She's from Queens. I looked it up and .. figured I may as well try to make it. But I don't have enough Lego .. I can tell already." he shrugs. "I guess she's kind of on my mind. But yea ... New York .. and she's Jewish. She mentioned her Bat Mitzvah." he shrugs. "Like I said we talked."
Owen nods, looking like he has to give this the benefit of the doubt, but he also has to warn a little "Alright then. I get it." He sighs "L will probably tell you this....but Kandy....well it's not a cheerful roommate ship......maybe it's just a small room.....but there's some friction. I wasn't getting the sense that Kandy was fully aware of that...and please don't tell her.....but with you and L being best .but with you and L being best buds....it might be a thing....just sayin..."
Seamus tilts his head. "Kandy didn't say anything about it to me." he shrugs. "Who knows. Maybe its a girl thing. Kandy's pretty much always in girl mode and shes from New York. I didn't get from her that she's a bitch." he licks his lips. "Not like Sam. You know I talked to Kandy today more than I ever talked to Sam?" he smiles a little bit. "She's nice. I mean she goes on and on sometimes but ... that's fixable." he laughs.
Owen holds up his hands "Not saying she's a bitch....just that they have tension is all." He grabs a comic book from his pile and leaps up to his bunk but still looks down over the edge "Fixable? You mean kissing?" He jokes and then casually flips open his comic.
Seamus begins to undo the tower. "Well. L is like my best friend and Kandy is kinda like my girlfriend, so ... I guess they better work it out." he declares. Then he looks up at his brother with a smirk. "Kissing works too." and he winks.
Owen looks concerned about the first declaration and then squints his eyes closed eyes at the second. He rolls on his back and pretends to be more absorbed in his comic than he actually is "Uh huh..." He mumbles. So much for the benefit of the doubt.
Seamus puts his Legos away, starting to keep them more organized now that he's older. Arching his brows at his brothers almost words, he stands and gets his pajamas. He tosses them on the bed and takes off his shirt, hitting Owen with them. "Uh huh what?" he demands. "Out with it, O-man. You want to say something so come on. Better you grill me than Mom and Dad."
Owen rolls to the side again he meets Seamus's gaze and just asks "Given your previous experience with girls, did you have sex with Kandy?"
Seamus doesn't look surprised or hurt by the question. "Not that its any of your business, but yea." he holds up a finger. "But I used a condom, so relax."
Owen bites his lip and nods, not wanting to come off as judgmental, but still thinking it's way too fast. He keeps his voice even and just answers with "If it makes you both happy."
Seamus looks at Owen's mouth. "Seriously?" he laughs, feeling it, even if it wasn't in his voice, he picked up something from the body language. "I can't currently think of much about sex NOT to like, O-man." he shakes his head and turns to finish dressing for bed.
Owen sighs "Ok I'm trying not to be a dick about it Shay. You're ready, I'm not. Let's agree to disagree on this one."
Seamus finishes dressing and climbs into bed. "That's probably a good idea." he agrees. "I'm too tired to fight with you, anyway." he lays down and snorts a laugh. "See ... my sex life is already improving our relationship." he lays back and is asleep in seconds.
Owen looks up at the ceiling incredulously at his brother's words, his comic book crinkling slightly as he grips it. Agree to disagree. Agree to disagree. And no more questions. It was just better not to know.
But he'd gotten home on TIME, which was all he really cared about.

Seamus begins to undo the tower. "Well. L is like my best friend and Kandy is kinda like my girlfriend, so ... I guess they better work it out." he declares. Then he looks up at his brother with a smirk. "Kissing works too." and he winks.
Owen looks concerned about the first declaration and then squints his eyes closed eyes at the second. He rolls on his back and pretends to be more absorbed in his comic than he actually is "Uh huh..." He mumbles. So much for the benefit of the doubt.
Seamus puts his Legos away, starting to keep them more organized now that he's older. Arching his brows at his brothers almost words, he stands and gets his pajamas. He tosses them on the bed and takes off his shirt, hitting Owen with them. "Uh huh what?" he demands. "Out with it, O-man. You want to say something so come on. Better you grill me than Mom and Dad."
Owen rolls to the side again he meets Seamus's gaze and just asks "Given your previous experience with girls, did you have sex with Kandy?"
Seamus doesn't look surprised or hurt by the question. "Not that its any of your business, but yea." he holds up a finger. "But I used a condom, so relax."
Owen bites his lip and nods, not wanting to come off as judgmental, but still thinking it's way too fast. He keeps his voice even and just answers with "If it makes you both happy."
Seamus looks at Owen's mouth. "Seriously?" he laughs, feeling it, even if it wasn't in his voice, he picked up something from the body language. "I can't currently think of much about sex NOT to like, O-man." he shakes his head and turns to finish dressing for bed.
Owen sighs "Ok I'm trying not to be a dick about it Shay. You're ready, I'm not. Let's agree to disagree on this one."
Seamus finishes dressing and climbs into bed. "That's probably a good idea." he agrees. "I'm too tired to fight with you, anyway." he lays down and snorts a laugh. "See ... my sex life is already improving our relationship." he lays back and is asleep in seconds.
Owen looks up at the ceiling incredulously at his brother's words, his comic book crinkling slightly as he grips it. Agree to disagree. Agree to disagree. And no more questions. It was just better not to know.

Pizza Delivery - Owen and L
Owen walks into the common room to meet L like they had planned. He's carrying a pizza box but looking less than happy for one holding beautiful doughy pie laden with sauce, meat veggies and gooey cheese. He approaches L Hi, you're beautiful. Um...I have good news and bad news....But did I mention you're beautiful?" He can't help but half grin after speaking because he does mean the beautiful part completely.
She looks up sitting at a table her paper and books scattered. She tucks a vivid purple loch behind her ear "what.. you got ze pizza but you got banned . She laughs
Owen shakes his head and looks at L's hair "I like the purple." He sighs and says "It's the middle of the day....do you know where your roommate is? I suppose the good news is....not here...." He hesitates gripping the pizza box and drumming on it nervously.
L raise a match purple eyebrow 'zank.. why should i know where she is ' she look him as he looks nervous 'im not er parent ' she say 'what happen.. did you come onto again ' she looks livid
Owen purses his lips and shakes his head and then says a drawn out "Noooop. Also good news. I'm not the droids she's looking for anymore....but she's still seeking the same genetic base material and dating.....Seamus..." He says this like he's declaring his brother's been giving some sort of horrible diagnosis "I sat with them at the pizza place while I waited for ours.....it was....like some sort of bizarro world."
L looks at him deadpan 'you're joking right ' she looks shocked her mouth slightly open "she dating your brozer ?? she scoffs
Owen looks for a bare spot on the table and then just sits in a chair near L still holding the pizza "Pretty sure it was their first date....maybe his first real date....kinda did things in a different order that guy....but they were pretty cutesy and kissy so I dunno...."
L bite her lips 'well i guess zat ok ' she say undeciding 'as long as she doesnt hurt your brozer cuz ill have to claw her eyes out if she does ' she shakes her head rubbing her temples all of it giving her a headache
Owen shakes his head "That could go either way to be honest. Let's eat food and not think about them?"
L sighs 'yeah need some pepperoni and lots of it stat ' she say as she grabs a slice stuffing it in her mouth trying not to think of it
Owen leans over and kisses L on the cheek before grabbing a slice himself "How's the studying going?"
L looks up at him and sighs softly 'it very ard' she shakes her head but looks determined
Owen looks at all the papers and nods sympathetically as he bites into his first slice and starts to chew.
L scribbles a bit looking frustrated more at the whole situation with Seamus and Kandy. She exhales sharply and breaks her pencil. "Why would he go with Er !" She says in a frustrated and angry tone.
Owen looks at the pencil and sighs tiredly "I dunno. I wasn't going to ask him in front of her...but I will later. Has she talked about HIM in her sleep?"
She shakes her head "It's mainly you but maybe it's a good thing but I'm not promising not to shoving her awake if she says anything weird in her sleep when she and Seamus start . She shakes her head hard.. "merdre. . I need to go get another pencil or seven "
Owen makes a face at the thought of someone talking about his brother in their sleep....like that "Gah....and some bleach for our brains!"
L laughs and walks to the dorm area looking to her dorm room half of is neat and stylish with pink accents and the other side which she crosses looks like a various fandoms threw up all over it. on her side in the walls are various heavy metal and rock band posters smattered with some steampunk band and Dr who posters.. she has to dig around a box that full of adipose tossing them haphazardly every which way til she finds her pencil case and just leaves the room that way returning back a corset stuck to the side of her boots. She doesn't even pay no mind to it and sits . It's isn't til she sits down and crosses her legs and realizes it's there. She pulls it off and dangles it up a bit looking at it
Owen finishes his slice of pizza and takes another, chowing down on it. He watches L go and come back casually and then almost chokes at the corset as she holds it up. He quickly clears his throat and then starts to laugh "Uh....yours?"
She examines "I zink it is" she pokes at it the purple frilly and lacey corset "beside Kandy wouldn't leave her stuff laying around. She say ponder.. she calls zem unmentionables " she shrugs " I tell er I where mine on ze outside "
Owen clears his throat again and exhales "Right, steampunk...not...lingerie..." He blushes deeply and then gestures at the pizza box "Pizza?"
She smiles and laugh let me go put zis away before everyone get scandalous about me flashing my undergarments around " she laughs and goes back to her room and began to just throw her corset into the room but something crosses her version as she glances out the window. She sees Seamus hand in hand with Kandy and returns with the corset clutched tightly in her hand. She sits down exhaling softly willing herself to be calm
Owen shakes his head around and exhales. Damn. L comes back still holding the corset and he looks confused "Uh L? Did you lose your way?"
She exhales "no just looks Kandy and Seamus are going to get lost. . In ze woods " she sits down lays the corset on the table and grabs a slice of pizza chewing it enjoying the cheesy goodness
Owen gives a resigned nod "Yeah....I guess that's how it goes with him now....I don't know if I should worry about him or just hope it's what he wants." He sets his slice down on a napkin and sits back looking conflicted.
She pats his arm "zat's what I'm worried about too" she sighs "he is my best friend .. one of ze closest I've ad" she blushes
Owen smiles awkwardly "He said that about you too...I'll try not to get jealous..." His tone is mostly joking but L's sudden BFF connection with Seamus does make him a tiny bit uneasy, especially when he and Seamus are not seeing perfectly eye to eye.
She leans in to kiss Owen "don't
you worry your sexy head" she smiles him "Seamus is my best friend but I don't like him the way I like you " she stares him deeply in his eyes
Owen kisses L back and then looks embarrassed "Sorry...I know I'm being dumb. And I know you like me." He meet's L's gaze and smiles "Just had a moment."
She giggles "so cute .. zat you got upset at ze thought of losing me. I'm flattered zank you for ze pizza "
Owen scoots a little closer to L and takes L's hand "You're welcome. I know you have to study more so I won't bug you for too much longer, but I do care about you a lot L. I've never quite felt like this...about anyone before...." He trails off and just picks up the hand and kisses it.
She smiles " I feel ze same way about you.. it feels so weird.. in a good way "she giggle "tres romantic "
Owen opens his eyes and nods and then leans in and kisses L slowly and sweetly on the lips.
She giggles and closes her own and kisses him back
Owen closes his eyes again, smiling into the kiss and kisses L tenderly for a long time and then sadly breaks it "I should let you get your work done..." He says in an exhale, leaning his forehead on hers.
She sighs "damn omework and tests " can I just put u in a tardis and keep you zere forever "she laughs
Owen laughed "Tempting, but I don't want to be the reason you don't kick ass on this exam, and you will. So I'm going to go and I promise to make out with you in a tardis after the test." He gives her one last lingering peck and stands up.
I hold you to that Gingerman
Owen can barely tear himself away and has to lean down for one last kiss "Counting on it Time Lady....." He pulls away finally and starts heading for the door looking back the whole time with a final wave and little grin before he disappears through it.
She looks up sitting at a table her paper and books scattered. She tucks a vivid purple loch behind her ear "what.. you got ze pizza but you got banned . She laughs
Owen shakes his head and looks at L's hair "I like the purple." He sighs and says "It's the middle of the day....do you know where your roommate is? I suppose the good news is....not here...." He hesitates gripping the pizza box and drumming on it nervously.

Saturday teen rp - Pizza Pairings - Seamus, Kandy, Owen and Mike
Seamus Reinhardt jogs across the street, a bit breathless. "Sorry, I'm late. Had to get away from the fam. You know."
Kandy Mullens chews her bubble blowing bubble 'its okay 'she say in bubbling nature . 'im just glad you ask me out 'she giggles
Seamus Reinhardt smiles and leans in to give her a peck on the cheek .. but close to her lips. "Why wouldn't I have, silly. Come on, lets go in." he holds the door open for her.
Kandy Mullens giggles as he holds the door 'what gentleman " she say softly in a queens accent '
Mike Chu looks at Dave and then unsure of himself to the customers. Damn it's kids from school. He doesn't hang with them but he's seen them. Small towns. He takes a deep breath and says awkwardly "How can I help you?"
Seamus Reinhardt leans over to speak to Kandy. "Whatever you want? We can split a calzone?" He holds a finger up to Mike, who he recognizes but doesn't know .. he doesn't play hockey, he isn't a girl and hes not a relative or with a relative so hes under the radar a bit.
Kandy Mullens smiles 'i think be wonderful i love the calzone here . 'she giggles chewing her gum 'mind me of home 'she winks at shay then looks a Mike like she spotted a puppy 'well aren't you the cutest . 'she coos at Mike then smiles and goes to take hold of her dates strong arm
Mike Chu had already started keying in a calzone and something beeps on the till like it's arguing back with him. He looks helplessly at Dave and then awkwardly at the girl and then the guy "Just one right...and like a knife to cut it?" Dave grumbled at him and fixed the mistake on the machine and then mentioned that he would do the cutting over offering a patron a knife "Right, no additional toppings?"
Seamus Reinhardt nods and glances at the register. "Just one and yes. One knife to cut it." he blushes just a little bit. One soda and two straws .. he chides himself. "Oh and um.. a e looks at her thinking of sharing his straw with her.
Kandy Mullens smiles at Seamus and beams 'how romantic .. they should call you cupid 'she winks at him
Mike Chu watches Dave re key in the order and nods "OK...that'll be $12.75 after taxes please." He gestures at the debit machine. Dave walks off to the kitchen to get a pizza shell and stuff it muttering something about cheap not romantic.
Seamus Reinhardt blushes a little and chuckles. "God, I hope not." he realizes shes sort of read his mind and shrugs. "Sure ... large cola." he arches his brow at Mikes back. "Good thing I'm not a bully." he murmurs to Kandy, covering her hand with his. "I just got OFF being grounded."
Kandy Mullens raise a eyebrow 'whats that guy on about.. this is the closes think to zambrinos we got here' she caresses 'its very romantic like lady and the tramp ' she winks then looks at mike 'did anyone tell you that you look like that harry potter kid .. like in the first movie.. hes such a cutie now and so banked ' she giggles
Owen Reinhardt walks up towards the pizza place whistling contentedly. He runs into Mr. Arnett out front and Buster and gets pulled into a short conversation but his laugh can be heard through the door as Buster jumps up on him and licks his face. In his distraction, he hasn't even looked in the building yet but is now leaning over scratching Buster behind the ear while Mr. Arnett says in his thick accent "Gets away with all off it by wagging tha tail eh..." Owen laughs again and nods.
Mike Chu looks at the girl like she's very strange and nods slowly "No.....you're the first to say it." He takes a large drink cup and fills it with Coke and hands over two straws and then holds one back "It was one of everything right?" He asks the guy who seemed to be making those choices.
Kandy Mullens smiles at him 'yeah totally you have the glasses but you totally remind me him.. i saw him in person in how to be a salemen . but he much older now 'she giggles ' but yeah ya totally look like an asian version of him .. like when he is the first movie.. tottaly had a crush on him then but hes a cutie like you 'she babbles on .. '
Seamus Reinhardt grins and looks over at Mike. Kandy is right, but ... still. He looks over his shoulder at a familiar voice and sees his brother and My Arnette .. and of course, Buster. "Oh ... that just fuckin figures." he murmurs. Turning back to face Mike, he pulls out his card and swipes it. "Yea. I have everything I need, thanks." he pats Kandy's hand again, chuckling as she goes on
Owen Reinhardt is looking back as he opens the door "See ya Mr. Arnett, see ya Buster." He turns to face front and step in and sees Seamus.....and oh god....the harpie...holding hands. His mind starts racing on how to save his brother from this fate as he approaches the counter "Hi Shay..." He looks down at the hands like what the hell are you doing and then awkwardly smiles at Kandy like one might backing away from a rabid hyena.
Mike Chu just blinks at the girl going on about him being like Harry Potter and then tears off the receipt and hands it to the guy. He sees another guy walk in who looks related. Oh yeah they're That family. There's a sister too and she freaks him out. He nods to the newcomer.
Seamus Reinhardt turns around. "Hey Oman." he glances at Kandy. "You know Kandy, right?" and looks at her. "My brother, Owen." as if introductions are necessary. But so far Kandy's gotten further than Sam ever had. He catches the look and arches his brow a bit. They'd probably have to talk later in their room or something.
Kandy Mullens smiles 'though your adorable like this puppy i saw . she turns to Seamus 'omg ..he was cute . i dont know the breed but it look like a stuff animal and just the same one rclbeauty has .. think im going to coax my dad to getting me one .. she spins aroudn blushing .. 'ohhh yeah .. your .. um ian .. no owen .. your elena.. i mean L boyfriend.. you knwo she been more happy now 'she babbles on about how L isnt as sharp with her . fiinshing with 'yeah she even was smiling at me .. 'she laughs
Owen Reinhardt clears his throat and nods at his brother with a yes we will talk later look and then addresses Kandy "Yes I'm L's boyfriend." He lets his eyes dart back to Shay "Kandy is L's roommate...and we've...met..." He says carefully and then smiles "You two were craving pizza? I'm grabbing one to take back to L because time is short and L has a big theory exam." He walks up to the clerk "Can I put in an order for a large vegetarian with pepperoni added please?"
Mike Chu observes the conversation between the three but tries to make it look like he's not actively watching them. He hangs back until the new order is placed and then keys it in and nods. Dave comes back in with the calzone and looks at the long haired new customer like he's seen him before and is already annoyed with him. Mike tells him the pizza order and he rolls his eyes. Right, the couple with the pepperoni innuendos, like he'd never heard THOSE before. He drops off the calzone and is banging back through the kitchen door to deal with the pizza.
Seamus Reinhardt sort of arches his brows. Kandy can talk ..no question .. he sort of convinced himself she only rambled with her little friends .... but no .... The subject switches to L. "Yea. L's a little hard to get to know. I know that better than most." he laughs a little anxiously as he looks at his brother. "Mom and Dad decide they need a pizza?" he wonders, sounding a little paranoid, probably. "Jesus, they said I could go out. Damn." he looks towards the door a if expecting to see Fiona and Vincent appear at any minute. Owen explains it, and Seamus sags in visible relief. He can't help but grin. "Isn't that more a pepperoni with extra veggies, Zero-man?" he just can't help but dangle that hook. He takes the calzone. "Wanna sit with us and wait?" he offers to make sure Kandy sees what a great brother he is.
Kandy Mullens just vaguel smies at owen blushes bit but clings onto seamus arm tightly smacking her gum as she follow him to the table 'she a tough nut to crack.. she barely talks to me .. 'she shrugs "i just know sometimes she just more moodier 'she smiles at seamus 'but thats all teenager musicans right 'she bables on and on .
Owen Reinhardt gulps at Dave's reaction and quickly pulls out his card to pay the new guy. He recognizes him from school too and smiles at him, glad it's not Dave "Thanks man." He listens to his brother and his jaw tenses at th suggestion that Shay knows L better but he works to let it go. He sits closer to Shay than Kandy on purpose and shrugs at Shay's reframing of his pizza order "As long as it all gets on there right?" He glances at Kandy while she talks about L but declines to comment, knowing full well why L seemed moody to the harpie.
Mike Chu did the middle brother's transaction and smiled back at him as he was thanked. He watched them all move to a table and then checked the one slice trays.
Seamus Reinhardt sit and cuts the steaming calzone in half, then looks at the halves and turns the late to give the slightly larger one to his date. "Well, maybe now you two can get along better. She's with Owen and you..." he reaches over to kiss her o the cheek. "Are with me." he watches the steam rising, casually. "It's kind of neat. You know that L is like my best friend. And shes dating this guy? My brother?" he hikes a thumb in Owen's direction like can you believe shes stoop SO low that silly L.
Kandy Mullens laughs softy 'well isnt this a small world .. we got roomies with me an L and you and L new boytoy ' she laugh softly waving her hand liek she is kidding 'just like some high school drama.. all we need is some drunk kid that needs a innervention and we have ours selves a series .. either that or everyone sings and it be on broadwya .. uncle murray would love to direct .. you know hes on broadway ' she say .like she is droppign nams
Owen Reinhardt: Owen squints one eye at Seamus like this is all hurting his brain a bit. He's almost terrified to take L this pizza now and report on where the harpie is, and who she's with. Nevermind all this business of L being Shay's new BFF. He listened to Kandy and tried to somewhat follow her odd little narration. If he was inclined towards drinking, he might be the kid needing the intervention after all this. Holy fuckin weirdness Batman. He just looks between them and nods slowly, like a hostage trying to survive the strange.
Mike Chu tidies up a bit and then it dawns on him that he did give the patron the knife. Dave walks back out as the pizza cooks and he decides to not mention it and simply look busy cleaning.
Seamus Reinhardt smiles at Kandy as if he knows a single thing about Broadway. "Oh so your famous. Like a Broadway Kardasian?" after he says it he realizes he may just have blown it big time, considering most think that family low class slut trash.
Kandy Mullens laughs and pats her her 'well i dont know if all that famous but thanks honey 'she smiles 'i like their money and they do know how to make a splash .. but they could tone down revealign to much ' she laugh softly 'thats like givign away the good before anyones bought ' she winks and laughs 'my mom always say they all that money and dress like some street walker ' she shakes her head smilign at him but pats his hand .'but i get what ya mean honey 'she beams
Owen Reinhardt stares at the kitchen door, willing his pizza to cook and then looks between Kandy and Seamus. "I never got the whole Kardasian thing? Who are they? Why do they get written about? Why are we supposed to care what they're wearing or who they divorce?" He shrugs and looks for camaraderie in Shay, unless Shay is just trying to impress the harpie by acting like he cares about tabloid people.
Mike Chu stays out of Dave's way as he fill sup the one slice area and prefolds more pizza boxes.
Seamus Reinhardt shrugs at his brother. "I'm not totally sure, to be honest." but he takes Kandy's hand. "You dress nice. I like that outfit." he glances at his brother. "Now my brother here .. long scraggly hair, ripped jeans .. not so much." he grins. His jeans look almost like new. He keep his clothes nice and hair stylish. It isnt so much is is showing up his brother but pointing out that he IS the sharper dresser, which appeals to the vain high school girls that seem to follow him around for the gossip he seems to generate, is fashion sense or his burgeoning bad boy reputation.
Kandy Mullens looks at owen 'its about power ' she say playing .. 'those that have the money have the power.. thats why people care.. ' she say shrugging 'pretty dumb if ya ask me .. but theyre clinging on to what power they got .. even if they dress like they forgot to put anything on after getting their underwear on ' she scoff 'but thats why i have to study hard to make something of myself and maybe just maybe the Mullens can unseat them 'she say hopefully . she beams at Seamus and goes to touch the end of his cute nose 'i knew you had class , you look like cover photo , mista gq
Owen Reinhardt doesn't seem to care about the teasing about his clothes, most of the time, every now and then it bugs him and Shay knows it "I'm comfy and I like being comfy. L likes my long hair so it's all good. But you go ahead and work....Mista GQ." There's a definite tone in his tease there that's not all 100%jest.
Mike Chu watches Dave go back into the kitchen to check on the pizzas and then glances over to the customers sitting with mild curiosity.
Seamus Reinhardt smiles as Kandy speaks and moves forward to kiss her cutely o the tip of her nose at her compliment. Then he turns his own superstar blue eyes onto his brothers dark green ones. He almost smirks as he banters back at Owen most likely enjoying it WAY more. "Oh, believe me .. I PLAN on it." and his tone matches his brother. Passive-aggression between the younger brothers. They've been doing it since the cradle.
Kandy Mullens looks over to Owen 'she like the rocker look i think.. got those guy with long hair all ova her walls .. but at least them cellos dudes is cute ' she giggles .'so i just focus on them . she say politely 'shes an musican so its expected.. my other uncle manages some pop punk band .. not my style but.. yeah like that .. sometime like silverwaves or something 'she shrugs 'but its the artist mind 'she blushes at the peck 'oh you old charmer you ' she waves her hand mock dismissively at Seamus
Owen Reinhardt gives a little derisive grunt at Shay and then again keeps silent as Kandy talks about L. Talk about oil and water. His brother's mushy side is a bit sickening to watch. Maybe people though that about him with L though so he keeps his face passive about all the cutesy kissy stuff. He sees a pizza come out of the kitchen though and practically vaults the chair beside him to get up and get to it.
Mike Chu takes the pizza from Dave and puts it in a box for the oddly eager guy "Yep, it's yours. Give me a sec here to box it up." Dave mutters something and disappears again.
Seamus Reinhardt watches Owen launch himself towards his order and laughs. "Give L a punch for me. See ya at home, bro." he calls after the retreating redhead. he takes his drink and sips long from the straw, then offers it to Kandy
Kandy Mullens smiles 'aww arent you the sweetes 'she say cooing a bit sippign after him getting lost in those blue eyes
Owen Reinhardt takes the box from the clerk and breezes by the table with a half wave "Laters." He's trying to find the words in his head to explain all this to L as he walks to meet her in the common area of the dorm.
Mike Chu shrugs as the guy exits fast. He must be really hungry. Dave come back in and thumbs at the kitchen "Mike, dish pit time. I'm out front." Mike scoots to the kitchen looking nervous "Ok....."
Seamus Reinhardt can focus completely on his date now that his brother is gone. The calzone has cooled a little it so he picks it up. "Man I am actually kind hungry. Waiting for it to cool is like the worst part." and he takes a big bite.
Kandy Mullens says absentmindedly 'sometime big hot yummy things that you put in your mouth are worth the wait ' she takes a bit of her calzone and looks like she is in heaven 'forgive me dimarco .. i feel like im cheatin on you ' she say with relish
Seamus Reinhardt narrowly avoids choking as he swallows. "Oh yea .... " he murmurs. "It is good, isn't it?" he grins and continues o chow down.
Kandy Mullens: she laugh softly 'yeah bout had a foodgasm just dont tell dimarco .. 'she says sneakily
Seamus Reinhardt chuckles with his moth full. Once he swallows he can reply properly. "Your secret is safe with me." he grins and holds the calzone ready for another bite. "Rooming with L ... does that mean your a music student too?" he wonders.
Kandy Mullens shakes her head 'nah .. i dont have the talent .. i tried for choir at my synagoue but Rabbi Swartz said that it was probably ok for the guy upstairs that i not sing..' she laush 'even at my bat mitzvah ' she shrugs
Seamus Reinhardt smiles and takes a deep drink. "So you're just one of the dorm students. There not too many of them. Where are your parents?" he wonders.
Kandy Mullens laughs 'they live in Queens ' she say softly 'this is a really good school so they sent me here ' she beams she takes a huge bite enjoying her calzone
Seamus Reinhardt nods. "So that's where you vanished to during break. The States." he muses. "I heard New York can be really nice."
Kandy Mullens has her mouth full her cheek puff out a bit but swallow s'yeah had to go back to New York for Hannanuk she laugh softly 'you know 8 nights of presents ' she laugh softly 'plus yeah .. i missed it .. i love New york .. the culture, the fashion the energy 'she beams happily
Seamus Reinhardt laughs a little and takes another sip. "That would KILL my parents if they had to do that for all of us." he listens to her. "Yea ... this island must stifle you, eh?" he wonders. "I know I sometimes REALLY miss Vancouver."
Kandy Mullens laugh softly 'nah you know like new york has those small town within the city .. like chinatown little tokyo . this is like little vancouver ' she laugh softly 'and i been to cedar point .. its like a mini little tokyo and china town all in one ' she laughsofty ' so youre from Vancouver
Seamus Reinhardt eats a bit more, almost done. "Well, I was actually born here. My parents went to school here, then went to Vancouver and came back here after my older two siblings were born." he sips more drink. "Then they had problems and split up for a while, and me and my brothers went with Mom and Fiona stayed with Dad. Then .. they got back together." he holds the final bite of his calzone i his hand.
Kandy Mullens smiles 'well im glad you came ' she winks 'and glad ya parents got back together ' she beams 'i know its not how everyone turns out but its nice when couples can get back together ' she smiles . she finishes off her calzone 'well Dimarco has some competition in the calzone department she winks and laughs softly 'thanks for bring me here ' she say politely
Seamus Reinhardt finishes off his calzone and nods. "I'm glad they did too." he admits. Then he grins and wipes his lips with his napkin. "Well good. We'll come back here, then too." he grins and stands, gathering their trash to throw away. "Your welcome."he tells her. It was my first date." he admits and heads for the door, all casual about this rather astonishing revelation, considering all the gossip around school.
Kandy Mullens smiles and coos 'aww that so sweet .. i hope i made it special 'she blushes and gigglies softly
Seamus Reinhardt smiles as they leave and takes her hand. "You made it incredible." he tells her honestly. he looks down and soon stops. "I was thinking of a walk but ...." he looks down at her high heels. "But that might not be a good idea, huh?"
Kandy Mullens smiles happily happy that she made it great 'well sorry . ' she says lookign down at her own heels 'i like wearing these .. makes me feel powerful 'she giggles and 'makes me look good ' she winks smiling . 'where ya thinking ' she say softly
Seamus Reinhardt looks back up her body. "You look incredible."he tells her. "I was thinking maybe a walk in the woods and rest at the lighthouse." he considers her, looking her up and down with a critical eye. "I could try and carry you or I can find someplace else where we could talk." he rolls his shoulders. "Do you like piggy back rides?" he asks with a cute little wink.
Kandy Mullens laughs softy 'aww thanks 'she beams happily 'and nods 'that so sweet i love one ' she laugh softly
Seamus Reinhardt squeezes her hand. "Lets walk to the woods, then." he heads in the opposite direction, however, turning on 4th towards the school.
Kandy Mullens holds tightly to his hand looking at him so happy just to be with a hot an nice guy she just nods and smiles and then babblies on about how she thought how romantic this all is . she beams at him looking him over enjoy his tight muscles flexign as he walk blushing a bit at the thoughts in her head abut just glad to be with him
Seamus Reinhardt leads her along the length of 4th street to the school and then behind it and the NW corner, never letting go of her hand. Then at the edge of the woods, he does. "Ready?" he asks and turns his back to her bending at the knees so she can climb on. "Hop on!"
Kandy Mullens climbs on his back with a squeal of delight and giggles as she mount him like a some steed . she giggles softly .'youre so strong Seamus .. ' she beams down at him
Seamus Reinhardt laughs and hefts her a little bit. The squee was kinda cute. "On into North Woods!" he cries and starts walking at a brisk pace, slowing a bit as he has to climb over one thing or another. It takes them a good ten minutes to come out of the woods and emerge at the crumbling lighthouse.
Kandy Mullens giggles as she say charge on hansome steed ..she enjoy the boucing and rocking as he tries admiring his strong legs and looks the lighthouse .. 'that so romantic .. she say softly 'something out of dream ' she sighs happily
Seamus Reinhardt pauses for a bit of a rest once they arrive. "Yea. I like it here. Hell of a view from the tower thing." he admits, even though the view even from the ground is really nice.
Kandy Mullens smiles ' you okay hotstuff. ' she winks at him smiling as she looks around in awe lookign at the place
Seamus Reinhardt smiles. "Yea. It's a hike." he admits and glances up. The sky ha been darkening a bit and it begins to rain. He takes her hand. "Lets go inside. Its cold AND raining now." he moves to the door and fiddles with the lock, getting the door open and entering.
Kandy Mullens chuckles 'arent you the bad boy .' she winks and pokes his strong muscle smiling not disturb by this at all and clasp tightly on to his hand smiling 'yeah way better in here ' she beams looking around the old place
Seamus Reinhardt shrugs, and grins a little mischievously. "It's not the best lock." he demurs. "Yea out of the wind and cold and rain." he looks around with her and bites his lip, moving her a little further inside. "You like it?" he puts a hand on her waist and stands right in front of her.
Kandy Mullens giggls 'well if they should have made it harder to get in beside .. no ones using it 'she looks around then smiles at him as he places a hand on her she does the same placin a hand on his strong muscls 'its romantic and cozy ' she giggles softly lookign at him dreamily at his handsome face
Seamus Reinhardt nods and smiles,lacing his other hand on her other hip and leaning in for a kiss. "Want to see the loft?" he whispers, after breaking the kiss.
Kandy Mullens smiles 'ill have to hang on to you so i don't break my neck ' she laughs winking 'not that thats an issue ' she giggles a bit lightheaded after the kiss
Kandy Mullens chews her bubble blowing bubble 'its okay 'she say in bubbling nature . 'im just glad you ask me out 'she giggles
Seamus Reinhardt smiles and leans in to give her a peck on the cheek .. but close to her lips. "Why wouldn't I have, silly. Come on, lets go in." he holds the door open for her.
Kandy Mullens giggles as he holds the door 'what gentleman " she say softly in a queens accent '
Mike Chu looks at Dave and then unsure of himself to the customers. Damn it's kids from school. He doesn't hang with them but he's seen them. Small towns. He takes a deep breath and says awkwardly "How can I help you?"
Seamus Reinhardt leans over to speak to Kandy. "Whatever you want? We can split a calzone?" He holds a finger up to Mike, who he recognizes but doesn't know .. he doesn't play hockey, he isn't a girl and hes not a relative or with a relative so hes under the radar a bit.
Kandy Mullens smiles 'i think be wonderful i love the calzone here . 'she giggles chewing her gum 'mind me of home 'she winks at shay then looks a Mike like she spotted a puppy 'well aren't you the cutest . 'she coos at Mike then smiles and goes to take hold of her dates strong arm
Mike Chu had already started keying in a calzone and something beeps on the till like it's arguing back with him. He looks helplessly at Dave and then awkwardly at the girl and then the guy "Just one right...and like a knife to cut it?" Dave grumbled at him and fixed the mistake on the machine and then mentioned that he would do the cutting over offering a patron a knife "Right, no additional toppings?"
Seamus Reinhardt nods and glances at the register. "Just one and yes. One knife to cut it." he blushes just a little bit. One soda and two straws .. he chides himself. "Oh and um.. a e looks at her thinking of sharing his straw with her.
Kandy Mullens smiles at Seamus and beams 'how romantic .. they should call you cupid 'she winks at him
Mike Chu watches Dave re key in the order and nods "OK...that'll be $12.75 after taxes please." He gestures at the debit machine. Dave walks off to the kitchen to get a pizza shell and stuff it muttering something about cheap not romantic.
Seamus Reinhardt blushes a little and chuckles. "God, I hope not." he realizes shes sort of read his mind and shrugs. "Sure ... large cola." he arches his brow at Mikes back. "Good thing I'm not a bully." he murmurs to Kandy, covering her hand with his. "I just got OFF being grounded."
Kandy Mullens raise a eyebrow 'whats that guy on about.. this is the closes think to zambrinos we got here' she caresses 'its very romantic like lady and the tramp ' she winks then looks at mike 'did anyone tell you that you look like that harry potter kid .. like in the first movie.. hes such a cutie now and so banked ' she giggles
Owen Reinhardt walks up towards the pizza place whistling contentedly. He runs into Mr. Arnett out front and Buster and gets pulled into a short conversation but his laugh can be heard through the door as Buster jumps up on him and licks his face. In his distraction, he hasn't even looked in the building yet but is now leaning over scratching Buster behind the ear while Mr. Arnett says in his thick accent "Gets away with all off it by wagging tha tail eh..." Owen laughs again and nods.
Mike Chu looks at the girl like she's very strange and nods slowly "No.....you're the first to say it." He takes a large drink cup and fills it with Coke and hands over two straws and then holds one back "It was one of everything right?" He asks the guy who seemed to be making those choices.
Kandy Mullens smiles at him 'yeah totally you have the glasses but you totally remind me him.. i saw him in person in how to be a salemen . but he much older now 'she giggles ' but yeah ya totally look like an asian version of him .. like when he is the first movie.. tottaly had a crush on him then but hes a cutie like you 'she babbles on .. '
Seamus Reinhardt grins and looks over at Mike. Kandy is right, but ... still. He looks over his shoulder at a familiar voice and sees his brother and My Arnette .. and of course, Buster. "Oh ... that just fuckin figures." he murmurs. Turning back to face Mike, he pulls out his card and swipes it. "Yea. I have everything I need, thanks." he pats Kandy's hand again, chuckling as she goes on
Owen Reinhardt is looking back as he opens the door "See ya Mr. Arnett, see ya Buster." He turns to face front and step in and sees Seamus.....and oh god....the harpie...holding hands. His mind starts racing on how to save his brother from this fate as he approaches the counter "Hi Shay..." He looks down at the hands like what the hell are you doing and then awkwardly smiles at Kandy like one might backing away from a rabid hyena.
Mike Chu just blinks at the girl going on about him being like Harry Potter and then tears off the receipt and hands it to the guy. He sees another guy walk in who looks related. Oh yeah they're That family. There's a sister too and she freaks him out. He nods to the newcomer.
Seamus Reinhardt turns around. "Hey Oman." he glances at Kandy. "You know Kandy, right?" and looks at her. "My brother, Owen." as if introductions are necessary. But so far Kandy's gotten further than Sam ever had. He catches the look and arches his brow a bit. They'd probably have to talk later in their room or something.
Kandy Mullens smiles 'though your adorable like this puppy i saw . she turns to Seamus 'omg ..he was cute . i dont know the breed but it look like a stuff animal and just the same one rclbeauty has .. think im going to coax my dad to getting me one .. she spins aroudn blushing .. 'ohhh yeah .. your .. um ian .. no owen .. your elena.. i mean L boyfriend.. you knwo she been more happy now 'she babbles on about how L isnt as sharp with her . fiinshing with 'yeah she even was smiling at me .. 'she laughs
Owen Reinhardt clears his throat and nods at his brother with a yes we will talk later look and then addresses Kandy "Yes I'm L's boyfriend." He lets his eyes dart back to Shay "Kandy is L's roommate...and we've...met..." He says carefully and then smiles "You two were craving pizza? I'm grabbing one to take back to L because time is short and L has a big theory exam." He walks up to the clerk "Can I put in an order for a large vegetarian with pepperoni added please?"
Mike Chu observes the conversation between the three but tries to make it look like he's not actively watching them. He hangs back until the new order is placed and then keys it in and nods. Dave comes back in with the calzone and looks at the long haired new customer like he's seen him before and is already annoyed with him. Mike tells him the pizza order and he rolls his eyes. Right, the couple with the pepperoni innuendos, like he'd never heard THOSE before. He drops off the calzone and is banging back through the kitchen door to deal with the pizza.
Seamus Reinhardt sort of arches his brows. Kandy can talk ..no question .. he sort of convinced himself she only rambled with her little friends .... but no .... The subject switches to L. "Yea. L's a little hard to get to know. I know that better than most." he laughs a little anxiously as he looks at his brother. "Mom and Dad decide they need a pizza?" he wonders, sounding a little paranoid, probably. "Jesus, they said I could go out. Damn." he looks towards the door a if expecting to see Fiona and Vincent appear at any minute. Owen explains it, and Seamus sags in visible relief. He can't help but grin. "Isn't that more a pepperoni with extra veggies, Zero-man?" he just can't help but dangle that hook. He takes the calzone. "Wanna sit with us and wait?" he offers to make sure Kandy sees what a great brother he is.
Kandy Mullens just vaguel smies at owen blushes bit but clings onto seamus arm tightly smacking her gum as she follow him to the table 'she a tough nut to crack.. she barely talks to me .. 'she shrugs "i just know sometimes she just more moodier 'she smiles at seamus 'but thats all teenager musicans right 'she bables on and on .
Owen Reinhardt gulps at Dave's reaction and quickly pulls out his card to pay the new guy. He recognizes him from school too and smiles at him, glad it's not Dave "Thanks man." He listens to his brother and his jaw tenses at th suggestion that Shay knows L better but he works to let it go. He sits closer to Shay than Kandy on purpose and shrugs at Shay's reframing of his pizza order "As long as it all gets on there right?" He glances at Kandy while she talks about L but declines to comment, knowing full well why L seemed moody to the harpie.
Mike Chu did the middle brother's transaction and smiled back at him as he was thanked. He watched them all move to a table and then checked the one slice trays.
Seamus Reinhardt sit and cuts the steaming calzone in half, then looks at the halves and turns the late to give the slightly larger one to his date. "Well, maybe now you two can get along better. She's with Owen and you..." he reaches over to kiss her o the cheek. "Are with me." he watches the steam rising, casually. "It's kind of neat. You know that L is like my best friend. And shes dating this guy? My brother?" he hikes a thumb in Owen's direction like can you believe shes stoop SO low that silly L.
Kandy Mullens laughs softy 'well isnt this a small world .. we got roomies with me an L and you and L new boytoy ' she laugh softly waving her hand liek she is kidding 'just like some high school drama.. all we need is some drunk kid that needs a innervention and we have ours selves a series .. either that or everyone sings and it be on broadwya .. uncle murray would love to direct .. you know hes on broadway ' she say .like she is droppign nams
Owen Reinhardt: Owen squints one eye at Seamus like this is all hurting his brain a bit. He's almost terrified to take L this pizza now and report on where the harpie is, and who she's with. Nevermind all this business of L being Shay's new BFF. He listened to Kandy and tried to somewhat follow her odd little narration. If he was inclined towards drinking, he might be the kid needing the intervention after all this. Holy fuckin weirdness Batman. He just looks between them and nods slowly, like a hostage trying to survive the strange.
Mike Chu tidies up a bit and then it dawns on him that he did give the patron the knife. Dave walks back out as the pizza cooks and he decides to not mention it and simply look busy cleaning.
Seamus Reinhardt smiles at Kandy as if he knows a single thing about Broadway. "Oh so your famous. Like a Broadway Kardasian?" after he says it he realizes he may just have blown it big time, considering most think that family low class slut trash.
Kandy Mullens laughs and pats her her 'well i dont know if all that famous but thanks honey 'she smiles 'i like their money and they do know how to make a splash .. but they could tone down revealign to much ' she laugh softly 'thats like givign away the good before anyones bought ' she winks and laughs 'my mom always say they all that money and dress like some street walker ' she shakes her head smilign at him but pats his hand .'but i get what ya mean honey 'she beams
Owen Reinhardt stares at the kitchen door, willing his pizza to cook and then looks between Kandy and Seamus. "I never got the whole Kardasian thing? Who are they? Why do they get written about? Why are we supposed to care what they're wearing or who they divorce?" He shrugs and looks for camaraderie in Shay, unless Shay is just trying to impress the harpie by acting like he cares about tabloid people.
Mike Chu stays out of Dave's way as he fill sup the one slice area and prefolds more pizza boxes.
Seamus Reinhardt shrugs at his brother. "I'm not totally sure, to be honest." but he takes Kandy's hand. "You dress nice. I like that outfit." he glances at his brother. "Now my brother here .. long scraggly hair, ripped jeans .. not so much." he grins. His jeans look almost like new. He keep his clothes nice and hair stylish. It isnt so much is is showing up his brother but pointing out that he IS the sharper dresser, which appeals to the vain high school girls that seem to follow him around for the gossip he seems to generate, is fashion sense or his burgeoning bad boy reputation.
Kandy Mullens looks at owen 'its about power ' she say playing .. 'those that have the money have the power.. thats why people care.. ' she say shrugging 'pretty dumb if ya ask me .. but theyre clinging on to what power they got .. even if they dress like they forgot to put anything on after getting their underwear on ' she scoff 'but thats why i have to study hard to make something of myself and maybe just maybe the Mullens can unseat them 'she say hopefully . she beams at Seamus and goes to touch the end of his cute nose 'i knew you had class , you look like cover photo , mista gq
Owen Reinhardt doesn't seem to care about the teasing about his clothes, most of the time, every now and then it bugs him and Shay knows it "I'm comfy and I like being comfy. L likes my long hair so it's all good. But you go ahead and work....Mista GQ." There's a definite tone in his tease there that's not all 100%jest.
Mike Chu watches Dave go back into the kitchen to check on the pizzas and then glances over to the customers sitting with mild curiosity.
Seamus Reinhardt smiles as Kandy speaks and moves forward to kiss her cutely o the tip of her nose at her compliment. Then he turns his own superstar blue eyes onto his brothers dark green ones. He almost smirks as he banters back at Owen most likely enjoying it WAY more. "Oh, believe me .. I PLAN on it." and his tone matches his brother. Passive-aggression between the younger brothers. They've been doing it since the cradle.
Kandy Mullens looks over to Owen 'she like the rocker look i think.. got those guy with long hair all ova her walls .. but at least them cellos dudes is cute ' she giggles .'so i just focus on them . she say politely 'shes an musican so its expected.. my other uncle manages some pop punk band .. not my style but.. yeah like that .. sometime like silverwaves or something 'she shrugs 'but its the artist mind 'she blushes at the peck 'oh you old charmer you ' she waves her hand mock dismissively at Seamus
Owen Reinhardt gives a little derisive grunt at Shay and then again keeps silent as Kandy talks about L. Talk about oil and water. His brother's mushy side is a bit sickening to watch. Maybe people though that about him with L though so he keeps his face passive about all the cutesy kissy stuff. He sees a pizza come out of the kitchen though and practically vaults the chair beside him to get up and get to it.
Mike Chu takes the pizza from Dave and puts it in a box for the oddly eager guy "Yep, it's yours. Give me a sec here to box it up." Dave mutters something and disappears again.
Seamus Reinhardt watches Owen launch himself towards his order and laughs. "Give L a punch for me. See ya at home, bro." he calls after the retreating redhead. he takes his drink and sips long from the straw, then offers it to Kandy
Kandy Mullens smiles 'aww arent you the sweetes 'she say cooing a bit sippign after him getting lost in those blue eyes
Owen Reinhardt takes the box from the clerk and breezes by the table with a half wave "Laters." He's trying to find the words in his head to explain all this to L as he walks to meet her in the common area of the dorm.
Mike Chu shrugs as the guy exits fast. He must be really hungry. Dave come back in and thumbs at the kitchen "Mike, dish pit time. I'm out front." Mike scoots to the kitchen looking nervous "Ok....."
Seamus Reinhardt can focus completely on his date now that his brother is gone. The calzone has cooled a little it so he picks it up. "Man I am actually kind hungry. Waiting for it to cool is like the worst part." and he takes a big bite.

Seamus Reinhardt nods. "So that's where you vanished to during break. The States." he muses. "I heard New York can be really nice."
Kandy Mullens has her mouth full her cheek puff out a bit but swallow s'yeah had to go back to New York for Hannanuk she laugh softly 'you know 8 nights of presents ' she laugh softly 'plus yeah .. i missed it .. i love New york .. the culture, the fashion the energy 'she beams happily
Seamus Reinhardt laughs a little and takes another sip. "That would KILL my parents if they had to do that for all of us." he listens to her. "Yea ... this island must stifle you, eh?" he wonders. "I know I sometimes REALLY miss Vancouver."
Kandy Mullens laugh softly 'nah you know like new york has those small town within the city .. like chinatown little tokyo . this is like little vancouver ' she laugh softly 'and i been to cedar point .. its like a mini little tokyo and china town all in one ' she laughsofty ' so youre from Vancouver
Seamus Reinhardt eats a bit more, almost done. "Well, I was actually born here. My parents went to school here, then went to Vancouver and came back here after my older two siblings were born." he sips more drink. "Then they had problems and split up for a while, and me and my brothers went with Mom and Fiona stayed with Dad. Then .. they got back together." he holds the final bite of his calzone i his hand.

Kandy Mullens smiles happily happy that she made it great 'well sorry . ' she says lookign down at her own heels 'i like wearing these .. makes me feel powerful 'she giggles and 'makes me look good ' she winks smiling . 'where ya thinking ' she say softly
Seamus Reinhardt looks back up her body. "You look incredible."he tells her.

Kandy Mullens climbs on his back with a squeal of delight and giggles as she mount him like a some steed . she giggles softly .'youre so strong Seamus .. ' she beams down at him
Seamus Reinhardt laughs and hefts her a little bit. The squee was kinda cute.

The Hearth of the Heart - Hank and Judith
Hank Stanley sits at home, his bare feet on his coffee table, finishing up the file sorting he had tried to do earlier. Now he is in a much better mood. Almost giddy. He and Ford had finally cleared the smoke between them. They had even had a beer together. Only one, so he could drive home and rest before he had to go in for his next shift in the morning.
Typing in an address he pulls up his new Google Play account. Well, it wasn't new, but Wendy had set it up for him a couple of years ago and he'd never really used it. Now he was feeling so good and almost competent, he decided to give it a shot. He set it up with his credit card and put some money on it. The movies all looked interesting, but he was in a mood to relax, so he looked at their music store. He looked for some nice jazz and found many options immediately. In a good mood and almost sentimental, he buys a Miles Davis album and figures out how to play it ... and then shops around for more.
Judith was not distraught after her dinner with Erica, but it was a little emotionally exhausted. She kept taking out her phone and almost calling Connie, or Hank. She needed to connect. She loved Connie beyond reason, but tonight she needed Hank. She dialed and then clicked before it rang through. The ferry was about to announce the Alexandra terminal. He was just a short walk away from her right now. She slid her phone in her purse and disembarked, feeling comfort already as she walked the streets of his town. Before she knew it she was knocking at his door, hoping her impulsive choice wasn't an imposition on him.
Hank is on his couch sort of staring at his ceiling and letting the music wash over him. At the knock at his door, he hops up to get it, half expecting to see Josh Greene, but instead he smiles wide. "Judith!" he back up and opens the door wider for her to come in. "What a wonderful surprise." he closes the door behind her and kisses her softly in welcome.
Judith kisses him back and then hugs him hard, like she really needs one right now "Oh I'm glad. I'm sorry to intrude. It's been a tough day and I just missed you. I know our plans are next weekend and you work in the morning." She grips at the back of his shoulders and buries her face in his neck.
Hank hugs her hard right back and places his hand on her head as she buries her face in his neck. "You, my dearest, are welcome here day or night. Even if I'm not here." he kisses her hair. "I understand. I had a bit of a long day myself." he inhales. "I told Ford about you ..."
Judith has to laugh "Thank you. That's an interesting coincidence. You tell me yours and then I'll tell you mine? Maybe we should sit?" She pulls her head back and looks at him "I'd love to take off my boots." She admits "Nicer to look at than walk in."
Hank arches his brows. "Yes, lets sit." he motions to the couch and lounger. "Oh those do look lovely ... off your feet and beside my door." he teases. "Can I get you anything?" he asks hesitating a bit. "Well HE called ME ... and I told him about you and how important you are to me, and my being happy and ..." he sighs. "That's always where he cuts me off. But this time ... I went to see him and we ... we talked. About Elizabeth ... his mother." he blows out a breath, the anger from earlier coming to the fore and being beaten down by him almost out of habit.
Judith starts unlacing her tall brown boots and bites her lip while grinning at his beside my door comment and then says "I have everything I need." with a loving look in his eyes before she keeps unlacing and listens intently to him. She sees his emotion and takes one hand off her boots, reaching for his "It's OK. Tell me more please?"
Hank takes her hand. "Actually, you don't ... but I can correct that sooner, rather than later." he murmurs and then he inhales and exhales again. "She lied to him, Judith ... most importantly about her visits to me at the hospital .. and he's been angry about .... he saw me with Henrietta ... the nurse that took care of me in the hospital." he diverts his eyes. "The one I had the affair with before I moved here." he sighs. "But ... we sorted it all .. even has a beer together. He wants to meet you."
Judith ignores the boots and puts both her hands on his "Oh god...I'm so sorry Hank. But it sounds like you guys found some much needed resolve. And your son is more...enthusiastic about us than my daughter, who I just came from dinner with, but your conversation still sounds harder...." She moves one hand up to his face and traces the burns and then kisses them lightly, continually affirming that she adores him as a whole person, scars and all, past and all.
Hank nods. "We both cried." he admits with an awkward laugh. He smiles at the kiss. "So I don't have to feed you, then? Tell me about your dinner." hes a little anxious. Had he been rejected already?
Judith smiles "That's good. Crying is a good release. I had...decent...Thai food, full review after more important conversation." She leans back to her boots, pulling one off and starting on the other one. They're those kind of boots. She has a light pair of socks under them the same colour as her mint green sweater dress. "Erica is having trouble accepting the idea of anyone who's not Eric. She did actually eventually say you sound nice. I didn't push it. She's having a rough time right now in general and fell apart about her job. I'm a little worried about her to be honest."
Hank watches the struggle. "Well decent food can make up for a lot." he offers and then sighs a little at Erica's reluctance. "Well. I am nice and I am not trying to be her father. Only your friend and lover." he strokes his chin. "Maybe don't word it like that to her." he sighs. "Well maybe a lot of it was bad timing?" he offers.
Judith smiles "I did actually say some of that. And she outright asked if I'd slept with you so she knows that too. She was a little alarmed at the timing. I'm not, so you know. Her hesitation made me hold back telling her....how I feel about you...I mean I guess it's you I should really be saying it to first anyhow...." She suddenly has that anxious look she got when she asked him to go to bed with her and swallows hard before looking up "The truth is Hank....I know it's soon...but...... I love you." She bravely meets his eyes again as her fill with tears.
Hank listens and can guess where she's going. When she looks up, he meets her eyes and, with barely half a second between them, blurts out "I love you."
Judith starts laughing and crying as they both say it at the same time and throws her arms around him "Well look at us......you know I'm never going to get these boots off at this rate."
Hank laughs along with her. "I guess I will just have to help a lady." he says in mock exasperation and lowers himself to one knee, examining the boot. "Good lord, woman, how DO you get this thing off?" he begins to tug at the heel. "You need a boot jack, damn near.""
Judith giggles "You just have to unhook a million times. Possibly a bit like a medieval hockey skate?" She jokes "So chivalrous of you though."
Hank cracks his knuckles as if he is going to tackle a large project. "I am going to buy a bench to put right by the door." he announces as he unhooks. "If you really love me, you will promise me you will NEVER get a bra with this many hooks." he scoffs. "Or I'll be sending you home ahead of me. Just open the door, sit down and I'll follow in 15 minutes."
Judith laughs "I do believe that's called a corset and as much as I love you, and lingerie...I also do enjoy breathing. Breathing is wonderful. And considering you have the keys, I'd be flopping around like a fish at your door and all the town would talk..." she can't help but laugh at the thought.
Hank snorts. "Didn't those go out of fashion with hoop skirts?" he pulls at the boot, it comes off suddenly and he falls backward onto the floor. "Victory!" he cheers. Then he snaps his fingers. "Right. I can't have you suffocating at the door in your corset boots waiting on me." he stands and goes to the kitchen, opening a drawer and bringing something out. He comes back and kneels beside her, holding up a key. "So I guess I had better have a key made." he pauses, as obviously he has. His voice softens. "I was going to give it to you next weekend, but ... why put off till tomorrow what you can do right now?"
Judith looks both overjoyed and overwhelmed "Hank..." That one was extra breathy and she exhales again after it "Thank you. You haven't even seen my home....now I REALLY need to clean. This is wonderful." She pulls her key ring from her purse beside her and stick it right on and then drops the purse and kisses him deeply.
Hank shudders. When she speaks his name that way it gets him every time. "What does your house being clean have to do with the key to my front door?" he wonders after the kiss. He gathers her in his arms and stands with ease. "Now where do I put you down?" he looks at her with a slight grin.
Judith loses her train of through about cleaning completely and melts in his arms "What's that dear.....oh.....bed please, yours in fact, since it's near." She grins back and feels swept off her feet in every way possible, and madly in love with the man who's doing it.
Hank smiles and heads there without another word. He sits her on the edge. "Now, you rest and take the rest off. Your coat, too." he teases. "Or I can do it, as soon as I unplug my laptop from the TV and the HDMI thing." he caresses her face and for a moment goes serious. "You know ... I am glad Ford accepted you. I'm too old to make unpopular decisions."
Judith looks at him as he sits her down and asks her to disrobe with a big grin "Your laptop? What are you up to Hank?" She sighs at the rest "I'm just glad you two are OK again. Whether he approves of me or not...it's his connection to you." She wastes no time pulling off her sweater dress, her shirt under and her bra, looking at him half nude as he walks away. The lower garments come off and she slides between the sheets and stretches happily. She took off her socks this time so the toes are a little cold, but she suspects her circulation may improve within the next hour.
Hank smiles as she begins to undress. "Well ... that was so tenuous ..." he goes and basically disconnects and turns everything off in the front. Then he comes back plugging in his laptop. "In case you get bored with me, we can watch movies." he winks, undresses and gets in with her. "Give me those....." he leans forward and reaches for her foot, massaging carefully to improve the circulation. "See ... had Ford and I not had that talk? Had we not made up? It would have been hard for me to keep being as available as I have been." he chuckles. "Of course, Wendy would have beaten us both, but ... "
Judith rolls her eyes "Bored? Were you planning on reading to me from encyclopedias tonight instead of sex? Because if that's what it's come to I REALLY need to up my game." She jokes and then offers her feet freely "Mmm that's nice. And I'm glad you're available. Cards on the table, we may have my girls for some of next weekend, not overnight mind you. I like the sounds of this Wendy."
Hank chuckles. "Let me get these feet warmer and I'll see if I can find another use for my fingers." he offers. He nods. "I wont mind it if they don't. I just don't want to scare them. I nearly frightened some clerk into hysterics today at Fords work. Poor girls eyes got big as saucers and she just stared." he sighs. "Part of my charms." he smiles. "Wendy is Fords wife. They were high school sweethearts. She was pre fire. And Elizabeth didn't approve of her. But on that, Ford bucked her and I'm glad he did. She's always tried to get him to forgive me but I think she also thought he hated me because of the fire. But it was because of ... my affair with Henrietta." he moves his hands to her other foot to massage.
Judith listens to it all, wincing at the woman's bad reaction to Hank at Ford's work "That's just rude. I'll talk to the girls if it's an issue but I hope it won't be. For some reason if Elizabeth disapproved of Wendy it makes me like her already..." She laughs and then trails off about Henrietta "You really had a thing with a woman names Henrietta.....Henry Stanley. I said no to a guy named Judas once, true story. Might have been subliminally biblical..." She stops cracking jokes and sighs about Ford "He held onto that for a long time, that anger. Did he yell today? Is he a yeller?" She hesitates "Are you?"
Hank grins. "If they can get past it ... and kids usually can if they aren't predisposed somehow." he drops her other foot and looks up at her. "I did ... it was one of the things that made me smile for the first time. Well sort of grunt a laugh is more like it. Maybe it was ... I felt like no one could ever want mt again .. so maybe it was like ... masturbation with my inner woman .. I don't know." he quips. he straightens and lays beside her, gathering her in his arms. "Neither of us is. We're quiet, stoic Englishmen. Ford tends to withdraw. I learned to talk it out when no one would talk to me." he shrugs. "But I am not a yeller."
Judith snuggles into him "Inner woman? That's oddly...hot." She giggles and then says "I'm not a yeller either. Eric was now and then and I never knew what to do with it when it happened. It was just his temper, he wasn't abusive, just loud and unexpectedly so because he was otherwise so mild mannered. I've seen it in Erica once or twice too so I guess that's how it goes. It scares the girls though and makes Penny rebel. My parents were both very quiet people, gardeners so maybe they channeled their stress into digging in the soil."
Hank kisses her. "Hot or not ... please ... please .. don't ask me to wear those boots." he teases. "My mother needed me to be calm, so I bottled a lot up. My father took off when I was very young. I took a high stress job. Being calm can mean life or death." he looks at her closely. "I told Ford that it felt like I have known you for 40 years." he suddenly says. "So strange ... after so long to feel .. so blessed .. and I'm not real religious."
Judith laughs about the boots "Deal. I may give them up myself soon." She runs her fingers up and down his arm and up his neck into his hairline "I'm sorry about your father. You were a better one, as it tends to work out. And you do have a magic with calm and calming me." She smiles "You said that to Ford? He didn't think it was weird? I'm only asking because of Erica. I feel the same way, 40 years might be barely covering it, more like lifetimes Hank, many many...." She leans her forehead into his cheek.
Hank looks grateful to know the boots with more string on them than his engine had hose may become a thing of the past. Then he grins. "I gave up a lot to stay in his life as his father." and he smiles. "He said 'Judith is your Wendy'. I don't think the time meant much. We're not teenagers, or even in our twenties, Judith. I don't know how much time I have, but I want to spend as much of that time with you, sharing our families and loving you." he leans in for a kiss, caressing her side.
Judith kisses him back intensely, emotionally, saying in between "I want that too." and on the next tiny break apart "I love you Hank Stanley..." Her hands slide up and down him caressing as well and her body rolls to join with his so as much of her skin contacts as much of his as she can, soaking in the warmth and the connection as her kisses become relentless.
Hank feels as if he is melting under her touch and kisses. "I love you too." he slides his hand down her body, seeking to please her half as much as she pleases him. "And I love that you love me." he swallows, catching himself in an emotional wave.
Judith feels Hank's touch, hears the emotion in his voice and her face is suddenly damp with tears. They salt the kisses as her lovemaking to Hank deepens in tenderness. Her touches on his body are very intentional, gentle, moving them to just stay close not rush to any finish. She could just roll around in his arms kissing him for days, happy to love and be loved.
Typing in an address he pulls up his new Google Play account. Well, it wasn't new, but Wendy had set it up for him a couple of years ago and he'd never really used it. Now he was feeling so good and almost competent, he decided to give it a shot. He set it up with his credit card and put some money on it. The movies all looked interesting, but he was in a mood to relax, so he looked at their music store. He looked for some nice jazz and found many options immediately. In a good mood and almost sentimental, he buys a Miles Davis album and figures out how to play it ... and then shops around for more.

Somewhere in the Time Vortex of Young Romance - L and Owen
L looks at piece of new sheet music tapping his bow on the music stand . His now back to his short brown reserved style hair that he pushes the bags out of his face.. he looks rather pensively at the music studying it then tap out on his acoustic cello the beat before starting a low long note.
Owen hands in half a textbook's worth of math assignments and stands glumly under the lecture of Mr. Reece as it washes over him like the nonsensical speech of the adults in the Charlie Brown series. As soon as Mr. Reece looks like he's wrapping up Owen dives for his backpack and bolts from the room making a beeline for the practice room he knows will contain L and a cello. He stops at the door hearing a long note and then quietly opens the door and slips in, trying not to interrupt, just seeking to bask in the music and the energy of the player. He sinks into a chair and lets his backpack slide gently to the floor, smiling at L.
L is focused more them usual as he reads the new piece biting his lips a s he makes a mistake and going back over the chord again over and over til it sounds right . He looks at his music a bit frustrated but keeps working at it.
Owen just listens, looking sweetly at L. He can see the frustration, which is new. He hasn't seen that before but music looks hard so it's understandable. The repeats he's used to from Fiona practicing singing too. He slides down in the chair a bit, getting comfy and sticking out his big feet in his worn out high tops.
He looks up exhaling in frustration and stops for a second resting his bow on his lap looking up and blushes when he sees Owen. 'Pardon, I'm probably killing your ear . " he says with a frown as he glances at the music. .
Owen expands into a full body stretch and replies "I'm cool. Do what you gotta. You're just figuring this one out. I'm just happy I'm not in detention...." He says with a chuckle as he exhales and relaxes his body back into a normal sit.
L smiles and chuckles "oui, it's a new piece. . But you're too kind.. " he grins back at Owen "I'm lucky to have such an understanding boyfriend. " he says timidly and awkwardly. . " I mean zat what we are right" he looks to the complicated piece and at the moment it seem easy compared to wrestling with his feelings.
Owen half grins looking a bit timid too "I'd like that.... I wasn't sure if you were ready to talk about it. " He pulls his chair closer sitting properly beside L.
He looks at Owen's smiling." Well being thinking about for a couple of days bit I didn't know how to say it.." He glances at Owen bashfully "even as a girl which I'm more confident about it.. "he spits out awkwardly his heart racing "maybe I'm old fashioned but I zink as a guy I'm able to ask YOU" he say stuttering but smiles when he finally gets it out " Pardon zis old time lord's soul"
Owen licks his lips "YES...I will be your boyfriend...if you'll be mine and my girlfriend?" He grins at L. "See I'm asking too." He laughs and blushes.
L raise his eyebrow but chuckles and smile "Oui!! I will be your L.. your boyfriend and girlfriend. . Your whatever in between. Your L is how Seamus said it and it works." . He stands and picks up his bow and cello and pulls it closer and start to play more confidently the hard but happier piece with a bit mistakes but they don't get him as frustrated.
Owen just grins and murmurs "My L. Well thanks Shay..." He chuckles at his brother's wisdom and then listens to the music with a warm feeling in his entire being at the words My L.
L finishes the piece making a lot of mistakes but does plows through with gusto as he glances at Owen when he is done beaming
Owen is not as tuned into the mistakes because he hasn't heard a version without them and he loves L's playing "Sounds great L. Do your fingers ever bleed? Or did they at first?"
L blushes "I messed up zat whole bar.. I played much to fast and happy " He laughs awkwardly smiling at Owen. " Sometimes they do. He looks at his finger tips.."or when I really wail fast I've broken a bow or two." He blushes then looks at Owen
Owen smirks "Am I too distracting? Sorry." He takes L's hand, still sitting close enough to do so and kisses the fingertips one by one "I'm sure this isn't helping either...."
L chuckles and blushes as he kisses his fingertips "you're not helping me now.. " he smiles at Owen joking with but looking "but it oddly feel very good" he blushes
Owen sort of hugs L's hand to his cheek after and then lets go so it's free for more music to be had "Good." He says with a smirk and a small blush of his own. "Anything else interesting happen today? How's the harpie? Maybe you could just leave out crumbs in a trail and see if she follows...like into a supply closet."
L smiles as he picks up his bow a and slows the pace with his strums as he figures out the new piece l. "Ze harpie has started arguing wiz herself between whezer she has like u or Vincent more.. " he chuckles as he plays a bad note then goes of that bar again. "I like zinking ze whole time while watching 'er and I can't play my music while she can debate with herself all ze time." He laughs softly while works ou the piece.
Owen laughs "OK who is this girl so I can tell her no thanks and hopefully get her to shut it? And Vincent? Does she only like guys who are already with someone else? Because that's a bad sign....."
He smiles at him laughing as he plucks and strings on his cello softly as he works out the piece. "It's Kandy Mullens. " he rolls his eyes. " She only like real cute guys no matter if ze are taken or rude." She shakes her head "at least zis is keeping her from .. well zat and ze head of ze 'arpies.. from joey. He hits a wrong more scrunching up his nose but continues on.
Owen looks confused "I'm not sure we've ever spoken....Why would she even?" He hears the rest of L's explanation and blushes "OK now you're just biased." He listens to what L says about Joey "That guy's an ass. You should hear what he says about the girls he dates....I try to tune it out....but he's not quiet. I won't laugh at his jokes. I know I could be doing more than that. Fiona talks about men as allies in spaces women can't be....I think I'm flunking it...but I don't laugh at least."
L stops stringing abit " I'm not bias, it's ze truth" he say strongly. He shakes his head as talks " It's sometimes hard speak up.. but it's a start at least you're not chauvinistic or degrading to women or anything. . " he reach es to pat Owen's shoulder smiling at him
Owen sighs "Not actively, but if I let someone else do it I feel like I'm in it too....it's hard to explain. With Joey it's really obvious though...sometimes it's just a grey area. I'm glad you think I'm cute. I think you're more than cute, but more so I think you're brilliant, and funny, and an awesome musician."
He smiles "you're half right but you have to pick your battles.. people like joey. .well he is so stubborn and caught so deep in his vileness.. he is like a dalek. . I'm not say don't try.. by all means but.. even ze doctor knew when to say when.. " he say pensively "he may be a fixed point. . you may not be able to change him but just state your voice and brush your hands of him ." He does that to emphasize it.. " I'm just L " he chuckles with a blush but timidly pecks him before going back to practicing softly watching Owen
Owen listens thoughtfully to L's points, still troubled by Joey and all that goes with him but hearing L too. He smirks at the "Just L." and then listens to the music again, reaching one arm across his body to scratch absently at the opposite shoulder.
L continues to play watching Owen. He glances at the piece from time to time but plays the same bar over and over sounding like broken record as he watches Owen stretch.
Owen is one of those people who has trouble being completely still. He's always in motion, even if the motions are minor. He drops his scratching arm back to his side and then begins softly tapping his foot. He notices L watching him and tries to stop tapping, wondering if he's being too distracting but then still can't sit still and his fingers start absently drumming on the fabric of his ratty jeans on the right thigh.
L doesn't care but just sighs as he plays blushing a bit as Owen changes movements as L starts his next bit looking more at Owen then music sheet and start to freestyle playing to Owen's drumming like a metronome
Owen chuckles as he figures out what L's doing and tries to keep his casual leg drumming in line with the freestyle. He's not really musical at all but it's good fun.
L stands a bit his stand knock over papers go flying ad he strums faster on his bow more wildly as he gets into his music somewhat imitating his favourite musician but adds his own flair to it
Owen kind of keeps drumming but he's drifting off from the beat as he looks suddenly both fascinated and impressed by L's intensity and shift to just become the music.
L chuckles a bit as he plays to Owen improvising notes and chord and stringing them to make them seem happy but epic all the same. It's as if he is playing his heart
Owen leans back, folding his arms now and just watching L go for it with a big grin.
L finishes breathing hard panting as if he just ran a mile or just got home from practice "sorry " he says once he stops. He sets his stand right rest his bow on it and runs a hand through his hair before looking at Owen with a grin them looks around and starts to pickup the room
Owen stands up too "Why are you sorry? Can I carry anything you need to take?" He listens to the panting and quietly gulps as for some reason it's strangely a little hot.
He catches his breath finally even as his heart thuds like a tympani . "I don't know " he responds as he sorts of the music putting it in order. " I guess you can carry my cello.. " he says softly.
Owen walks up to L and reaches for it while licking his lips "OK." He whispers and then impulsively leans in and kisses L full on the mouth, drinking in the tail end of the breathless energy as his own heart quickens.
L drops his sheet music as he is surprised but kisses him back still a bit breathless and timidly wraps his arms around Owen's neck panting still
Owen is holding the cello in one hand but his other arm wraps tightly around L's waist as he tugs L to him kissing hard now. He gently slides his tongue into L's mouth and gives an involuntary happy little grunt.
L blushes even as he kisses Own back with the same intensity as his cello playing. He opens his mouth wider bidding his new boyfriend passage and moans softly as strokes Owen's tongue
Owen feels the intensity from L and kisses deeply with incredible passion he didn't even know he had in him. The room melts away, the school around them fades. He's still aware of the cello because if that drops L may never want to kiss him again and he would surely just die.
He cocks his head abit wondering why his man hasn't taken him into his arms and his eyes open slightly seeing the problem. L leans down a bit and helps Owen put his cello down so that he can take hold him tighter.
Owen leans with L so as not to break the kiss and chuckles into it before both arms are so tight around L Owen's heartbeat can be felt pounding in his chest as he keeps kissing.
He chuckles into his mouth enjoying the tickling sensation on his tongue and cheek . He dares not break the kiss fearing the world will end if he did
Owen loses himself completely in the kiss until he hears footsteps go by the door and slowly back off, leaning his forehead on L's and exhaling "Wow....you're amazing L."
He has his lips puckered a bit when he break the kiss panting softly "WE'RE amazing togezer " he manages in a thick husky tone. " don't worry " he looks at the door . "I book ze room after Mortimer so he won't be banging on ze door " he chuckles.
Owen smirks and pulls back, looking around "Well in that case." There's a small comfy chair at the front. He takes L's hand and pulls L to it, sitting down himself and then unceremoniously trying to pull L into his lap "Sorry...where were we?"
L chuckles "I was seducing you wiz my cello serenade, mon cheri " he say raising his eyebrow but allows himself to be pulled.."did you lock ze door "
Owen laughs "You were... it locks?" He looks flustered "Did you want it locked?"
L realize what he said and get flustered. "Umm.. maybe we shouldn't " he blinks "I don't know why I said zat. " " and fans himself a bit
Owen can't help but start to laugh "Oh good. You're human too. Listen L...I'm in no hurry for....well I honestly wouldn't even know where to...." He blushes deeply and croaks "Do you wanna just get some fresh air? Maybe a coffee?"
L blushes deeply 'yeah.. me ezer .. 'he looks down still holding him a bit tightly 'well zat sounds good 'he smiles 'what about Sighs 'he adds
Owen looks relieved and hugs L "That sounds good." He gives L just a sweet small kiss and then gently stands, pushing L up but still with his arms around him so it's not like a dismissal.
L face is still red hot but stands with him 'let me drop off my cello .. first .. zo ill have to go to dorms because i think my uncle is busy so he may not be at his quarter 'he says annoyed ..
Owen nods "OK. Does your Uncle have like a full apartment for his? Do students just eat in the caf?"
He smiles "it's like small studio apartment and he sometimes eats in his quarter and yeah he eat both in ze caffeine and at his quarter depending on his classes
Owen takes this in "Well lead the way....do I need harpie repellant?" He jokes.
He gathers his sheet music and lead his way to the dorms. . Well yes and no ..you can come in ze common area but you can't come in the actual dormitory area. He laughs "so you may see a harpie or two but not get in ze nest
Owen mock snaps his fingers and pretends to pout "So no seeing your room? I guess it's fair...you haven't seen mine. I share with Seamus so it's a lego minefield."
he shoves him lightly playfully. . "One day u will. My uncle is trying to get an apartment. . So.. I can stay here over the summer. . He smile "zat is wild about him ,Seamus grown and little at za same time.." L exhales as he enters a building and room tha look like your average common room with bookshelves a TV and some chairs and a couch in front of the large TV "It's a mess anyways " he blushes
Owen smiles "Yeah mine too. I hate cleaning. So...you'll still be here all year...if your uncle gets a place?" He looks hopeful and then glaces around the common area.
He reaches to take the cello case out of his hand " once he sells his house in Quebec but yes.. he looks for a place no zing big but just enough for me and him" he chuckles "Mon dieu, we'll be in trouble if we ever get married or move in togezer when we're older.. He laughs " I don't despise cleaning. . I just get to busy in my music or ozer zings" he chuckles
Owen looks taken aback but not unhappy at the thought "Yep...big ol pigsty with weird food and great music." He smiles, but gulps quietly after.
L blushes "sorry. We just became how you say an item and I got us living togezer as adult in my head " he chuckles awkwardly. " but we a wonderful music mess.. zat me.. us.. e.." he laughs "Pardon moi" he say
Owen shrugs "Not offended. And I'll wait here..." He points at his ratty sneakers on his big feet "Right here."
He beams and pecks his cheek grabbing the cello and disappear through a door labeled Co ed dorms appear moments after with a tall curvy brunette that is dressed in pink. Kandy Mullens is blowing her bubble gum then popping it. L looks annoyed
Owen looks awkwardly between L and the gum popper and says an unsure and short spoken "Hey." looking back at L, almost for permission or a sign of what's going on.
L exhales sharply as Kandy smacks her gum . Kandy giggles in airy annoying way and waves in cutely sickly way to Owen basically undressing him with her eyes . L just goes to grab Owen hand ready to pull him away. "Cheri, alonsy" L says stoic ly
Owen looks at Kandy like she's got three heads and takes L's hand with an awkward "Yeah...alright..."
L starts walking as Kandy starts to follow . "Run for it Gingerman, Let's show zis CyberAirship. .. how fast our feet work" L starts in a slight jog try to gently tug Owen along
Owen tugs on L's hand and stalls "I have another idea. Humour me?" He turns around and faces Kandy "I'm sure you're very nice, but I only have feelings for L....so just back off. Plenty of fish in the sea eh?"
L looks at his man proud of him . Kandy looks like she would cry but "Ian" she says softly . L exchange "his name is Owen and he's my man. " He tries to be polite and manages to smile at Kandy." Excuse us" He turns to Owen
Owen winces a bit and her looks and getting his name wrong and then starts walking with L and whispers "She doesn't even know my name....is she just fucked in the head?"
L just shrug and reached ou to grasp his hand "dunno maybe she got your name confused " He scrunches his nose and continue "because she ws muttering your name again " he shrugs
Owen keeps walking, picking up the pace a bit "That's just creepy now. What you saw back there was the first time we've spoken." The head down the stairs and out the school doors to the outside world and Owen exhales in relief.
L chuckles softly "well I don't blame her.. you're very attractive. " He smiles " and sweet. Alot girls like that. . Someone zat is cute and treats zem nice. I think she just got flustered and said ze first name zat comes to er ead" L goes to lean on Owen getting close to him.
Owen hugs L and chuckles "I'm happy when it's your feelings....but that was uncomfortable. And thanks."
L tilt his chin up to kiss Owen's cheek "I'm glad you're mine and yours. . " He chuckles then goes to snuggles into Owen's hug the bites his lip "I want to scoop her eyes out wiz a watermelon baller " he exhales
Owen leans his cheek into the kiss "Maybe let's just have coffee instead...." He laughs and then gives L a squeeze before stepping back to hold hands and walk again.
L laugh softly and nods as L walks with Owen hand in hand . he turns to look at him as they wall 'so how is your grandmazer doing with her new freedom ' he asks delicately
Owen grins "She seems good. Our house is VERY clean. She's kinda neurotic that way but it makes her happy. But she's also gone out a few times so that's a good sign. Like I said, my grandpa was a dick so this is all new to her, even just going for a walk for no reason."
L winces " well I'm glad she is happier " he beams at Owen
Owen nods "Me too. I didn't really know her very well before. She's hilarious." They reach the coffee shop and Owen hip bumps the door open so he doesn't have to let go of L's hand, grinning at him as he does so.
L beams "well I'm glad you're getting to know her better " he smile as they go through the door "order me my usual please " He beams "
Owen grins "Alright Time Lord.....you find a discreet parking spot for the tardis and I'll meet you 5 minutes from now." He jokes gesturing to the seating as he lets go and goes to order their drinks.
He looks at Owen "or two hr yesterday he laughs as he goes to the most secluded corner of the shop and sits in the beanbag. "I
Owen gets L's espresso, his mint mocha and a cookie for each of them and comes to join L on the beanbag, carefully handing the coffee over before sitting. He leans the side of his body against the side of L's and says "Alright what day is it now, and what year?"
L looks at owen "oh you ginger angel bearing coffee " he says smiling as he is handed his coffee "well it's about ze end of time and space and all zere is left is you and i.. and by ze way dolphins say zanks for ze fishes " he laughs softly
Owen chuckles into his cup and sips and then says "Dude, that's intense. Cookie? " He offers the bag that is L's.
Who you calling a cookie gingerbread man" he quips back
Owen keeps holding the cookie out "Don't tempt me to eat them both now." He grins with a twinkle in his eyes.
L winks "you'll be in trouble if you do boz. " he smiles "I'll be made if you eat zat cookie and we'll boz be in trouble wiz public lewdness " he winks
Owen pretends to look scandalized "Public lewdness? Wow....I should have brought the cookies to your practice and let you lock that door..." He makes the joke and then realizes he may have bitten off more than he can chew for a matter of jest and blushes fiercely.
L smirk but smile playful "I'll bake some for next practice " he says nonchalantly
Owen laughs nervously "Ah you're dangerous Time Lord." He takes a bite of his cookie and chews finally "So just espresso. I've been meaning to ask. You never crave something less concentrated?"
He chuckles "sometimes I am" he chuckles as he sips his espresso beaming "if it's go espresso zat all zat I need paired wiz an excellent pastries. " He chuckles
Owen makes his next point with a visual and dips his cookie in his coffee "Yeah...but this?" He eats it in about 4 bites but his lower lip and chin are covered in wet cookie coffee mush crumbs.
He leans in "to each their own right " he smile " I'll just borrow some from you " he says surprise at his own daring as he goes to peck and licks Owen's lip
Owen finds the peck sweet but the lick makes his heart pound and he lets out a tiny moan as she grabs L and kisses him some more after, sharing more cookie and seeking his tongue again, not caring who's looking. He carefully shifts his coffee cup from his hand to the floor and then his arms slide around L, hands caressing up and down L's back.
L blushes realize he lighted a fire kissing tentatively holding his espresso right his head reeling enjoying it but kicking himself that he was always a loose Cannon with Owen. He secretively enjoyed it how Owen made his feel like he was flying through time and space. This must be what powered the tardis. . Something special and he dare say magical.
Owen eventually eases off and hugs L tight before moving to sit beside again like a civilized person in a coffee shop. Two girls at a nearby table look at them giggling and Owen self consciously says "Sorry....got a bit carried away...again..." He laughs "You push my buttons sometimes, buttons I didn't even know about too."
L looks stunned and a bit before coming back to earth. " whaa.. " He say confused before hearing the giggle blushing and whisper "why ze do za " he says motion his head to the girls. He continues his whisper "well I zink you have ze same effect on me " he beams and sips his espresso.
Owen picks up his coffee again and sips, letting one arm stay around L's back and sighing "I dunno. Goofy giggly girls. It's they're job I think." He shrugs "So tell me crazy chimp stories..."
L snuggle into Owen stunned a bit smiles 'well time Giggete got in gramps car and drove to the til she crashed in the hedges
Owen just about falls off the beanbag "The chimp drove? Holy shit that's crazy alright. Did he have to report the accident?" He asks still laughing in disbelief.
L chuckles hard"oui, you should have seen the look on ze policeman face. I zink he almost had a heart attack
Owen shakes his head "And I'm guessing he had to write it up in a report." He laughs "My Uncle is a cop but I think the only delinquent animal he's met was a racoon. He and his partner both got bit last year."
L laughs hard "Oui, He did after ze near heart attack and he stop laughing so hard zat he almost wet is pants " L shakes his head
Wright
Owen slowly calms from his shock and laughs too and then asks very seriously "Does the chimp poop on the toilet? Or is there angry awkward flinging?"
L looks at him in mock scandalous look frowning "Gigette is a madamoiselle " He does a mock "hmpt" but then smiles and chuckles "no she is toilet train, Grandpere and grandmere trained er. " He says proudly
Owen chuckles "Talk about Ood on the loo. Do you have to wait your turn then?" He grins, clearly delighted by this slightly gross topic.
L nods " oui , she like a very airy sister than takes forever to dry er air" he laughs "but I guess it beats aving to clean up er poop. He laugh beam at his boyfriend
Owen laughs and then asks seriously "You must miss them....your parents and your hairy sister?"
L sighs softly 'well is it wrong zat i miss Gigette more zen my mama and papa.. 'he looks pensively abit pained biting his lip.. "i barely know my fazer.. my uncle. 'ikari .. is more of fazer to me 'he admits painfully ' Mama is good. but her job keeps her away a bit 'he exhales and goes to clasp Owen hand tightly 'but i miss Gigette.. ill see her once we get a place here ' He perks up and smiles 'i think she will like zat .. unless Grandpere needs her zere more.' He bites his lip . he sighs
Owen listens sympathetically and then looks intrigued "You're bringing the chimp to visit here...or live? In the dorms?"
L chuckles 'maybe ill dress her in a skirt and pass her on as a new student . he laughs 'No when ikari gets a place for us . she laughs .. 'i dont zink they let her in ze dorms or at ikaris quarter 'he laugh softly
Owen gets a mischievous look in his eyes "God that's be a kick ass prank though.....just bring her to a class as a new student."
L laughs "she's better behave En most teenagers and smarter Wn most.. He smirks and smiles "Gigette is my uncle first monkey Babette daughter. . and she was very smart.. "He exhales softly "
Owen looks confused "There are two of them? The chimps?"
L shakes his head 'no Babette died of a heart attack , ' he say softly
Owen frowns "Oh I'm sorry. Recently?"
L shakes his head .. no two years ago .. but feel like it was today . 'he sighs frowing abit 'but we still have Gigette" he beams
Owen hugs L "I know it's a smaller animal, but it's how I feel about Sebastian, well maybe more so with a chimp because they're closer to us in behavior and response. But I still miss him. I Don't think he's dead, that's the hard part. I just don't know where else to look....'
L pats his back as he hugs Owen 'pets have a way of becoming like a member of your family or your deepest confident .. 'eh rubs Owen's back 'well find him . he probably right under our noses 'he says hold Owen tight
Owen looks at L sweetly and nods "You're amazing, you know that?" He looks down at their cups. His is finished now "Would you come with me to look for him again?"
L nods 'oui.. Alonsy . 'he beams happily as he has also finished his espresso. "lead ze way Gingerman
Owen hands in half a textbook's worth of math assignments and stands glumly under the lecture of Mr. Reece as it washes over him like the nonsensical speech of the adults in the Charlie Brown series. As soon as Mr. Reece looks like he's wrapping up Owen dives for his backpack and bolts from the room making a beeline for the practice room he knows will contain L and a cello. He stops at the door hearing a long note and then quietly opens the door and slips in, trying not to interrupt, just seeking to bask in the music and the energy of the player. He sinks into a chair and lets his backpack slide gently to the floor, smiling at L.
L is focused more them usual as he reads the new piece biting his lips a s he makes a mistake and going back over the chord again over and over til it sounds right . He looks at his music a bit frustrated but keeps working at it.
Owen just listens, looking sweetly at L. He can see the frustration, which is new. He hasn't seen that before but music looks hard so it's understandable. The repeats he's used to from Fiona practicing singing too. He slides down in the chair a bit, getting comfy and sticking out his big feet in his worn out high tops.
He looks up exhaling in frustration and stops for a second resting his bow on his lap looking up and blushes when he sees Owen. 'Pardon, I'm probably killing your ear . " he says with a frown as he glances at the music. .
Owen expands into a full body stretch and replies "I'm cool. Do what you gotta. You're just figuring this one out. I'm just happy I'm not in detention...." He says with a chuckle as he exhales and relaxes his body back into a normal sit.
L smiles and chuckles "oui, it's a new piece. . But you're too kind.. " he grins back at Owen "I'm lucky to have such an understanding boyfriend. " he says timidly and awkwardly. . " I mean zat what we are right" he looks to the complicated piece and at the moment it seem easy compared to wrestling with his feelings.
Owen half grins looking a bit timid too "I'd like that.... I wasn't sure if you were ready to talk about it. " He pulls his chair closer sitting properly beside L.
He looks at Owen's smiling." Well being thinking about for a couple of days bit I didn't know how to say it.." He glances at Owen bashfully "even as a girl which I'm more confident about it.. "he spits out awkwardly his heart racing "maybe I'm old fashioned but I zink as a guy I'm able to ask YOU" he say stuttering but smiles when he finally gets it out " Pardon zis old time lord's soul"
Owen licks his lips "YES...I will be your boyfriend...if you'll be mine and my girlfriend?" He grins at L. "See I'm asking too." He laughs and blushes.
L raise his eyebrow but chuckles and smile "Oui!! I will be your L.. your boyfriend and girlfriend. . Your whatever in between. Your L is how Seamus said it and it works." . He stands and picks up his bow and cello and pulls it closer and start to play more confidently the hard but happier piece with a bit mistakes but they don't get him as frustrated.
Owen just grins and murmurs "My L. Well thanks Shay..." He chuckles at his brother's wisdom and then listens to the music with a warm feeling in his entire being at the words My L.
L finishes the piece making a lot of mistakes but does plows through with gusto as he glances at Owen when he is done beaming
Owen is not as tuned into the mistakes because he hasn't heard a version without them and he loves L's playing "Sounds great L. Do your fingers ever bleed? Or did they at first?"
L blushes "I messed up zat whole bar.. I played much to fast and happy " He laughs awkwardly smiling at Owen. " Sometimes they do. He looks at his finger tips.."or when I really wail fast I've broken a bow or two." He blushes then looks at Owen
Owen smirks "Am I too distracting? Sorry." He takes L's hand, still sitting close enough to do so and kisses the fingertips one by one "I'm sure this isn't helping either...."
L chuckles and blushes as he kisses his fingertips "you're not helping me now.. " he smiles at Owen joking with but looking "but it oddly feel very good" he blushes
Owen sort of hugs L's hand to his cheek after and then lets go so it's free for more music to be had "Good." He says with a smirk and a small blush of his own. "Anything else interesting happen today? How's the harpie? Maybe you could just leave out crumbs in a trail and see if she follows...like into a supply closet."
L smiles as he picks up his bow a and slows the pace with his strums as he figures out the new piece l. "Ze harpie has started arguing wiz herself between whezer she has like u or Vincent more.. " he chuckles as he plays a bad note then goes of that bar again. "I like zinking ze whole time while watching 'er and I can't play my music while she can debate with herself all ze time." He laughs softly while works ou the piece.
Owen laughs "OK who is this girl so I can tell her no thanks and hopefully get her to shut it? And Vincent? Does she only like guys who are already with someone else? Because that's a bad sign....."
He smiles at him laughing as he plucks and strings on his cello softly as he works out the piece. "It's Kandy Mullens. " he rolls his eyes. " She only like real cute guys no matter if ze are taken or rude." She shakes her head "at least zis is keeping her from .. well zat and ze head of ze 'arpies.. from joey. He hits a wrong more scrunching up his nose but continues on.
Owen looks confused "I'm not sure we've ever spoken....Why would she even?" He hears the rest of L's explanation and blushes "OK now you're just biased." He listens to what L says about Joey "That guy's an ass. You should hear what he says about the girls he dates....I try to tune it out....but he's not quiet. I won't laugh at his jokes. I know I could be doing more than that. Fiona talks about men as allies in spaces women can't be....I think I'm flunking it...but I don't laugh at least."
L stops stringing abit " I'm not bias, it's ze truth" he say strongly. He shakes his head as talks " It's sometimes hard speak up.. but it's a start at least you're not chauvinistic or degrading to women or anything. . " he reach es to pat Owen's shoulder smiling at him
Owen sighs "Not actively, but if I let someone else do it I feel like I'm in it too....it's hard to explain. With Joey it's really obvious though...sometimes it's just a grey area. I'm glad you think I'm cute. I think you're more than cute, but more so I think you're brilliant, and funny, and an awesome musician."
He smiles "you're half right but you have to pick your battles.. people like joey. .well he is so stubborn and caught so deep in his vileness.. he is like a dalek. . I'm not say don't try.. by all means but.. even ze doctor knew when to say when.. " he say pensively "he may be a fixed point. . you may not be able to change him but just state your voice and brush your hands of him ." He does that to emphasize it.. " I'm just L " he chuckles with a blush but timidly pecks him before going back to practicing softly watching Owen
Owen listens thoughtfully to L's points, still troubled by Joey and all that goes with him but hearing L too. He smirks at the "Just L." and then listens to the music again, reaching one arm across his body to scratch absently at the opposite shoulder.
L continues to play watching Owen. He glances at the piece from time to time but plays the same bar over and over sounding like broken record as he watches Owen stretch.
Owen is one of those people who has trouble being completely still. He's always in motion, even if the motions are minor. He drops his scratching arm back to his side and then begins softly tapping his foot. He notices L watching him and tries to stop tapping, wondering if he's being too distracting but then still can't sit still and his fingers start absently drumming on the fabric of his ratty jeans on the right thigh.
L doesn't care but just sighs as he plays blushing a bit as Owen changes movements as L starts his next bit looking more at Owen then music sheet and start to freestyle playing to Owen's drumming like a metronome
Owen chuckles as he figures out what L's doing and tries to keep his casual leg drumming in line with the freestyle. He's not really musical at all but it's good fun.
L stands a bit his stand knock over papers go flying ad he strums faster on his bow more wildly as he gets into his music somewhat imitating his favourite musician but adds his own flair to it
Owen kind of keeps drumming but he's drifting off from the beat as he looks suddenly both fascinated and impressed by L's intensity and shift to just become the music.
L chuckles a bit as he plays to Owen improvising notes and chord and stringing them to make them seem happy but epic all the same. It's as if he is playing his heart
Owen leans back, folding his arms now and just watching L go for it with a big grin.
L finishes breathing hard panting as if he just ran a mile or just got home from practice "sorry " he says once he stops. He sets his stand right rest his bow on it and runs a hand through his hair before looking at Owen with a grin them looks around and starts to pickup the room
Owen stands up too "Why are you sorry? Can I carry anything you need to take?" He listens to the panting and quietly gulps as for some reason it's strangely a little hot.
He catches his breath finally even as his heart thuds like a tympani . "I don't know " he responds as he sorts of the music putting it in order. " I guess you can carry my cello.. " he says softly.
Owen walks up to L and reaches for it while licking his lips "OK." He whispers and then impulsively leans in and kisses L full on the mouth, drinking in the tail end of the breathless energy as his own heart quickens.
L drops his sheet music as he is surprised but kisses him back still a bit breathless and timidly wraps his arms around Owen's neck panting still
Owen is holding the cello in one hand but his other arm wraps tightly around L's waist as he tugs L to him kissing hard now. He gently slides his tongue into L's mouth and gives an involuntary happy little grunt.
L blushes even as he kisses Own back with the same intensity as his cello playing. He opens his mouth wider bidding his new boyfriend passage and moans softly as strokes Owen's tongue
Owen feels the intensity from L and kisses deeply with incredible passion he didn't even know he had in him. The room melts away, the school around them fades. He's still aware of the cello because if that drops L may never want to kiss him again and he would surely just die.
He cocks his head abit wondering why his man hasn't taken him into his arms and his eyes open slightly seeing the problem. L leans down a bit and helps Owen put his cello down so that he can take hold him tighter.
Owen leans with L so as not to break the kiss and chuckles into it before both arms are so tight around L Owen's heartbeat can be felt pounding in his chest as he keeps kissing.
He chuckles into his mouth enjoying the tickling sensation on his tongue and cheek . He dares not break the kiss fearing the world will end if he did
Owen loses himself completely in the kiss until he hears footsteps go by the door and slowly back off, leaning his forehead on L's and exhaling "Wow....you're amazing L."
He has his lips puckered a bit when he break the kiss panting softly "WE'RE amazing togezer " he manages in a thick husky tone. " don't worry " he looks at the door . "I book ze room after Mortimer so he won't be banging on ze door " he chuckles.
Owen smirks and pulls back, looking around "Well in that case." There's a small comfy chair at the front. He takes L's hand and pulls L to it, sitting down himself and then unceremoniously trying to pull L into his lap "Sorry...where were we?"
L chuckles "I was seducing you wiz my cello serenade, mon cheri " he say raising his eyebrow but allows himself to be pulled.."did you lock ze door "
Owen laughs "You were... it locks?" He looks flustered "Did you want it locked?"
L realize what he said and get flustered. "Umm.. maybe we shouldn't " he blinks "I don't know why I said zat. " " and fans himself a bit
Owen can't help but start to laugh "Oh good. You're human too. Listen L...I'm in no hurry for....well I honestly wouldn't even know where to...." He blushes deeply and croaks "Do you wanna just get some fresh air? Maybe a coffee?"
L blushes deeply 'yeah.. me ezer .. 'he looks down still holding him a bit tightly 'well zat sounds good 'he smiles 'what about Sighs 'he adds
Owen looks relieved and hugs L "That sounds good." He gives L just a sweet small kiss and then gently stands, pushing L up but still with his arms around him so it's not like a dismissal.
L face is still red hot but stands with him 'let me drop off my cello .. first .. zo ill have to go to dorms because i think my uncle is busy so he may not be at his quarter 'he says annoyed ..
Owen nods "OK. Does your Uncle have like a full apartment for his? Do students just eat in the caf?"
He smiles "it's like small studio apartment and he sometimes eats in his quarter and yeah he eat both in ze caffeine and at his quarter depending on his classes
Owen takes this in "Well lead the way....do I need harpie repellant?" He jokes.
He gathers his sheet music and lead his way to the dorms. . Well yes and no ..you can come in ze common area but you can't come in the actual dormitory area. He laughs "so you may see a harpie or two but not get in ze nest
Owen mock snaps his fingers and pretends to pout "So no seeing your room? I guess it's fair...you haven't seen mine. I share with Seamus so it's a lego minefield."
he shoves him lightly playfully. . "One day u will. My uncle is trying to get an apartment. . So.. I can stay here over the summer. . He smile "zat is wild about him ,Seamus grown and little at za same time.." L exhales as he enters a building and room tha look like your average common room with bookshelves a TV and some chairs and a couch in front of the large TV "It's a mess anyways " he blushes
Owen smiles "Yeah mine too. I hate cleaning. So...you'll still be here all year...if your uncle gets a place?" He looks hopeful and then glaces around the common area.
He reaches to take the cello case out of his hand " once he sells his house in Quebec but yes.. he looks for a place no zing big but just enough for me and him" he chuckles "Mon dieu, we'll be in trouble if we ever get married or move in togezer when we're older.. He laughs " I don't despise cleaning. . I just get to busy in my music or ozer zings" he chuckles
Owen looks taken aback but not unhappy at the thought "Yep...big ol pigsty with weird food and great music." He smiles, but gulps quietly after.
L blushes "sorry. We just became how you say an item and I got us living togezer as adult in my head " he chuckles awkwardly. " but we a wonderful music mess.. zat me.. us.. e.." he laughs "Pardon moi" he say
Owen shrugs "Not offended. And I'll wait here..." He points at his ratty sneakers on his big feet "Right here."
He beams and pecks his cheek grabbing the cello and disappear through a door labeled Co ed dorms appear moments after with a tall curvy brunette that is dressed in pink. Kandy Mullens is blowing her bubble gum then popping it. L looks annoyed
Owen looks awkwardly between L and the gum popper and says an unsure and short spoken "Hey." looking back at L, almost for permission or a sign of what's going on.
L exhales sharply as Kandy smacks her gum . Kandy giggles in airy annoying way and waves in cutely sickly way to Owen basically undressing him with her eyes . L just goes to grab Owen hand ready to pull him away. "Cheri, alonsy" L says stoic ly
Owen looks at Kandy like she's got three heads and takes L's hand with an awkward "Yeah...alright..."
L starts walking as Kandy starts to follow . "Run for it Gingerman, Let's show zis CyberAirship. .. how fast our feet work" L starts in a slight jog try to gently tug Owen along
Owen tugs on L's hand and stalls "I have another idea. Humour me?" He turns around and faces Kandy "I'm sure you're very nice, but I only have feelings for L....so just back off. Plenty of fish in the sea eh?"
L looks at his man proud of him . Kandy looks like she would cry but "Ian" she says softly . L exchange "his name is Owen and he's my man. " He tries to be polite and manages to smile at Kandy." Excuse us" He turns to Owen
Owen winces a bit and her looks and getting his name wrong and then starts walking with L and whispers "She doesn't even know my name....is she just fucked in the head?"
L just shrug and reached ou to grasp his hand "dunno maybe she got your name confused " He scrunches his nose and continue "because she ws muttering your name again " he shrugs
Owen keeps walking, picking up the pace a bit "That's just creepy now. What you saw back there was the first time we've spoken." The head down the stairs and out the school doors to the outside world and Owen exhales in relief.
L chuckles softly "well I don't blame her.. you're very attractive. " He smiles " and sweet. Alot girls like that. . Someone zat is cute and treats zem nice. I think she just got flustered and said ze first name zat comes to er ead" L goes to lean on Owen getting close to him.
Owen hugs L and chuckles "I'm happy when it's your feelings....but that was uncomfortable. And thanks."
L tilt his chin up to kiss Owen's cheek "I'm glad you're mine and yours. . " He chuckles then goes to snuggles into Owen's hug the bites his lip "I want to scoop her eyes out wiz a watermelon baller " he exhales
Owen leans his cheek into the kiss "Maybe let's just have coffee instead...." He laughs and then gives L a squeeze before stepping back to hold hands and walk again.
L laugh softly and nods as L walks with Owen hand in hand . he turns to look at him as they wall 'so how is your grandmazer doing with her new freedom ' he asks delicately
Owen grins "She seems good. Our house is VERY clean. She's kinda neurotic that way but it makes her happy. But she's also gone out a few times so that's a good sign. Like I said, my grandpa was a dick so this is all new to her, even just going for a walk for no reason."
L winces " well I'm glad she is happier " he beams at Owen
Owen nods "Me too. I didn't really know her very well before. She's hilarious." They reach the coffee shop and Owen hip bumps the door open so he doesn't have to let go of L's hand, grinning at him as he does so.
L beams "well I'm glad you're getting to know her better " he smile as they go through the door "order me my usual please " He beams "
Owen grins "Alright Time Lord.....you find a discreet parking spot for the tardis and I'll meet you 5 minutes from now." He jokes gesturing to the seating as he lets go and goes to order their drinks.
He looks at Owen "or two hr yesterday he laughs as he goes to the most secluded corner of the shop and sits in the beanbag. "I
Owen gets L's espresso, his mint mocha and a cookie for each of them and comes to join L on the beanbag, carefully handing the coffee over before sitting. He leans the side of his body against the side of L's and says "Alright what day is it now, and what year?"
L looks at owen "oh you ginger angel bearing coffee " he says smiling as he is handed his coffee "well it's about ze end of time and space and all zere is left is you and i.. and by ze way dolphins say zanks for ze fishes " he laughs softly
Owen chuckles into his cup and sips and then says "Dude, that's intense. Cookie? " He offers the bag that is L's.
Who you calling a cookie gingerbread man" he quips back
Owen keeps holding the cookie out "Don't tempt me to eat them both now." He grins with a twinkle in his eyes.
L winks "you'll be in trouble if you do boz. " he smiles "I'll be made if you eat zat cookie and we'll boz be in trouble wiz public lewdness " he winks
Owen pretends to look scandalized "Public lewdness? Wow....I should have brought the cookies to your practice and let you lock that door..." He makes the joke and then realizes he may have bitten off more than he can chew for a matter of jest and blushes fiercely.
L smirk but smile playful "I'll bake some for next practice " he says nonchalantly
Owen laughs nervously "Ah you're dangerous Time Lord." He takes a bite of his cookie and chews finally "So just espresso. I've been meaning to ask. You never crave something less concentrated?"
He chuckles "sometimes I am" he chuckles as he sips his espresso beaming "if it's go espresso zat all zat I need paired wiz an excellent pastries. " He chuckles
Owen makes his next point with a visual and dips his cookie in his coffee "Yeah...but this?" He eats it in about 4 bites but his lower lip and chin are covered in wet cookie coffee mush crumbs.
He leans in "to each their own right " he smile " I'll just borrow some from you " he says surprise at his own daring as he goes to peck and licks Owen's lip
Owen finds the peck sweet but the lick makes his heart pound and he lets out a tiny moan as she grabs L and kisses him some more after, sharing more cookie and seeking his tongue again, not caring who's looking. He carefully shifts his coffee cup from his hand to the floor and then his arms slide around L, hands caressing up and down L's back.
L blushes realize he lighted a fire kissing tentatively holding his espresso right his head reeling enjoying it but kicking himself that he was always a loose Cannon with Owen. He secretively enjoyed it how Owen made his feel like he was flying through time and space. This must be what powered the tardis. . Something special and he dare say magical.
Owen eventually eases off and hugs L tight before moving to sit beside again like a civilized person in a coffee shop. Two girls at a nearby table look at them giggling and Owen self consciously says "Sorry....got a bit carried away...again..." He laughs "You push my buttons sometimes, buttons I didn't even know about too."
L looks stunned and a bit before coming back to earth. " whaa.. " He say confused before hearing the giggle blushing and whisper "why ze do za " he says motion his head to the girls. He continues his whisper "well I zink you have ze same effect on me " he beams and sips his espresso.
Owen picks up his coffee again and sips, letting one arm stay around L's back and sighing "I dunno. Goofy giggly girls. It's they're job I think." He shrugs "So tell me crazy chimp stories..."
L snuggle into Owen stunned a bit smiles 'well time Giggete got in gramps car and drove to the til she crashed in the hedges
Owen just about falls off the beanbag "The chimp drove? Holy shit that's crazy alright. Did he have to report the accident?" He asks still laughing in disbelief.
L chuckles hard"oui, you should have seen the look on ze policeman face. I zink he almost had a heart attack
Owen shakes his head "And I'm guessing he had to write it up in a report." He laughs "My Uncle is a cop but I think the only delinquent animal he's met was a racoon. He and his partner both got bit last year."
L laughs hard "Oui, He did after ze near heart attack and he stop laughing so hard zat he almost wet is pants " L shakes his head
Wright
Owen slowly calms from his shock and laughs too and then asks very seriously "Does the chimp poop on the toilet? Or is there angry awkward flinging?"
L looks at him in mock scandalous look frowning "Gigette is a madamoiselle " He does a mock "hmpt" but then smiles and chuckles "no she is toilet train, Grandpere and grandmere trained er. " He says proudly
Owen chuckles "Talk about Ood on the loo. Do you have to wait your turn then?" He grins, clearly delighted by this slightly gross topic.
L nods " oui , she like a very airy sister than takes forever to dry er air" he laughs "but I guess it beats aving to clean up er poop. He laugh beam at his boyfriend
Owen laughs and then asks seriously "You must miss them....your parents and your hairy sister?"
L sighs softly 'well is it wrong zat i miss Gigette more zen my mama and papa.. 'he looks pensively abit pained biting his lip.. "i barely know my fazer.. my uncle. 'ikari .. is more of fazer to me 'he admits painfully ' Mama is good. but her job keeps her away a bit 'he exhales and goes to clasp Owen hand tightly 'but i miss Gigette.. ill see her once we get a place here ' He perks up and smiles 'i think she will like zat .. unless Grandpere needs her zere more.' He bites his lip . he sighs
Owen listens sympathetically and then looks intrigued "You're bringing the chimp to visit here...or live? In the dorms?"
L chuckles 'maybe ill dress her in a skirt and pass her on as a new student . he laughs 'No when ikari gets a place for us . she laughs .. 'i dont zink they let her in ze dorms or at ikaris quarter 'he laugh softly
Owen gets a mischievous look in his eyes "God that's be a kick ass prank though.....just bring her to a class as a new student."
L laughs "she's better behave En most teenagers and smarter Wn most.. He smirks and smiles "Gigette is my uncle first monkey Babette daughter. . and she was very smart.. "He exhales softly "
Owen looks confused "There are two of them? The chimps?"
L shakes his head 'no Babette died of a heart attack , ' he say softly
Owen frowns "Oh I'm sorry. Recently?"
L shakes his head .. no two years ago .. but feel like it was today . 'he sighs frowing abit 'but we still have Gigette" he beams
Owen hugs L "I know it's a smaller animal, but it's how I feel about Sebastian, well maybe more so with a chimp because they're closer to us in behavior and response. But I still miss him. I Don't think he's dead, that's the hard part. I just don't know where else to look....'
L pats his back as he hugs Owen 'pets have a way of becoming like a member of your family or your deepest confident .. 'eh rubs Owen's back 'well find him . he probably right under our noses 'he says hold Owen tight
Owen looks at L sweetly and nods "You're amazing, you know that?" He looks down at their cups. His is finished now "Would you come with me to look for him again?"
L nods 'oui.. Alonsy . 'he beams happily as he has also finished his espresso. "lead ze way Gingerman
