All-Sexuality Support Group meeting, Thursday after classes

The group name wasn't a lie: it really was for students of any and every sexuality -- however, if you didn't go into that classroom ready to get your same-gender-kissy on, the chance that you'd leave the same way was... fairly low. What with the rainbow-colored glitter on every available surface.

That was Emmett showing restraint. He almost took a trip to the flower shop too, but Gabrielle persuaded him that ordering enough roses to decorate every chair in the tastefully-arranged semi-circle three days before Valentine's Day would result in the employees of Covent Garden Flowers putting out a contract on him, and not the fun kind with a collar and a safeword. Okay, so Gabrielle hadn't actually used the word 'safeword,' but the sentiment was completely intact, thank you very much. As was her earnest make-people-feel-welcome smile, completely untainted by WTF because she hadn't yet figured out what the group's acronym stood for.

She had also not yet realized that she'd be picking rainbow glitter out of everything she owned for days.

"Hi, everyone," she began. "And thanks for coming to the first meeting of the All-Sexuality Support Group."

Oh, just abbreviate it, Gabrielle, and figure it out already so you can give Emmett that look. You know. That one.

The one that would get 'Oh my stars and garters, does that really spell a naughty word?' in reply from Emmett, and then he'd find himself on the business end of her staff, which sounds fun but isn't, so he was going to enjoy her ignorance while it lasted. "My lovely co-hostess is Gabrielle and I'm Emmett, and if this were a Gay-Straight Alliance, I'd be the gay one." He shot a look towards Gabrielle. "But it's not, because life can get a lot more complex than just gay and straight."

Gabrielle narrowed her eyes, shook her head, and twitched both hands in the air. "Why do you keep giving me that look?" See. This is the point he was trying to make. "Anyway, we thought we'd start off with introductions today. I know, I know, you probably all thought we were done with that by now. It's one more time, you'll be fine."

Oh. Right. The talking part. She never had a problem finding her larynx for Support Services meetings, sigh.

"I'm Francine. I'm a senior, and..." Right. Right. She reached for Katchoo's hand. "I'm with her."

Hey, for her, that was coming out.

Tony gave Francine what he hoped was a reassuring smile.

Which Francine paid back with one that was half sickly and half dorky. Please don't ask how she managed that.

Gabrielle looked at Francine, then Katchoo, and blinked like someone thoroughly unaware of the cluebat whizzing just over her head.

"Huh."

Aaaaand that would be Merlin. Giving her a cheerful thumbs up.

Like a dork.

Aaaaaand that would be Francine coming over after people stopped introducing themselves and, you know, looking at her. She figured yes, she could stop clutching at Katchoo like an inflatable pool toy in a typhoon, if she was with Merlin.

...They're special, yes.

"There's a lot more people here than I expected," she said, unsure if that was a good or a bad thing.

They so, so were. "That's good, right?"

"It either means I was right about everybody at this school being gay but me except for the me part, or I just had a really really big audience for making a dork of myself." Yeah, fine, it was good. "And if it was the second one, it's still not as big as the one for my sophomore year school play, and I'm not naked--" At least on the outside. "--so it could be worse."

"...I could picture you naked if that helps."

Merlin, stop being clever.

Yes, she was very sure he could. And vice versa. "In what world would that help?"

"This one," Merlin replied with a certain nod. "I'm quite sure of it."

He waggled his fingers at her to prove is maaaagical point.

Thankfully, her clothes didn't disappear. This time. "And it would help how?"
