Glee Club, Music Room, Thursday Afternoon [ 11/11 ].

"Pleeease, Alexander?"

Alexander knew there would be no swaying Ariel; yesterday, they'd gotten distracted,and he'd had a chance to forget about how utterly convincing those wide blue eyes were and how uncomfortable they made him when they looked at him like that and he fidgeted a little. "I just don't know, Ariel; it seems a little...er...um..." Cough. "Inappropriate."

"It'll be fun!" Ariel insisted, before wilting in a completely unfair pout. "And, trust me, I really, really, really need some fun right now, you don't even know..."

Curse that look! Alexander should like to think he was a bit impervious to that, but today it just made his knees (and his spine) go weak and he sighed in resignation, "Oh, okay, fine."

Which just inspired Ariel to let out a little squeal of happiness, throw her arms around him, and hug him so tight that he wasn't sure he would be able to breathe if she didn't let go soon, though it wasn't just a lack of oxygen that was turning his face red. "I owe you big time," she said, and they waited a little while for everyone to get in and have some snacks before starting.

"Okay, guys!" Ariel eventually started in, "I don't know about you all, but there's been something on my mind a lot this week and I thought it could be..." Giggle "...interesting to see how it transferred over to Glee Club. So Alexander and I worked together a little something to inspire you for today's assignment. Ready, Alexander?"

Alexander gave a depressed little groan before muttering, "I'm ready."

"Hit it!"

"Let's sing about sex, baby
Let's sing about you and me
Let's sing about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's sing about sex."

It was short, sweet, and to the point, with a little bit of a dance number and it was clear which one of the two had thought the whole thing up, and which one of the two was about to spend the rest of Glee Club hiding behind his hands.

"So what do you think?" Ariel said hopefully, eager for distraction. "Got anything?"

[[ OCD ~~on the way~~ up! ]]

"It is very all right," Raven said, settling back down beside him to lean against his shoulder. Oh, look, her hand found his leg again. Touchy-feeling did not even begin to describe Raven right now.

"Do you have anything to do after the Glee Club meeting is over?" she asked hopefully. She didn't have anything in mind, really.

//You know, I don't?//

Well, there was the droid-baby thing from Ethics, but so far, it seemed to not loathe him, so long as it had its little stuffed toy... whatever it was. Jono could make plans around a fake baby, absolutely.

Raven had taken Ethics! She had experience with droid-babies (including gluing a red gem to the forehead of her and Tara's baby)! She'd probably be happy to help, though the possibility of ignoring the baby in favor of more kisses and caresses was probably a big danger for the next few days.

"I do not wish to steal all your time," she said, which wasn't entirely true since she would quite merrily take all of it up. "But I would enjoy spending more time with you."

//Well, aside from clubs, classes, gainful employment, a kitten, and a band, I really don't have much taking up my time these days,// Jono replied.

... In all seriousness, at that. He'd probably have grabbed two or three more jobs by now, in his quest to bury himself so far in distractions that he might never see the light of day again.

Please, as if he had the slightest chance of that happening, especially now.

"Kitten?" Raven said. Wee fluffy kitties were powerful enough to penetrate the strongest libido, for a few minutes at least. "I had heard something on the radio about that. May I see your kitty some time?"

There was possibly a bad, but dirty, joke there.

Sadly, Jono was above making jokes that were quite that bad. His narrative, on the other hand, had a few thoughts that involved synonyms for 'cat' in a very inappropriate context which were not to be shared in a public comm.

//You should see her sooner or later,// Jono replied, with the slightest hint of a proud cat-owner smile making little wrinkles around his eyes. //I bring Joni with me to th'shop on Tuesdays, actually. And out, generally, when I'm not going to classes or th'library or clubs. Gets her some fresh air.//

Because, let's face it, his dorm room smelled like dorm room, and like burning things.

Raven's narrative had not had such thoughts at all and would be shocked to know what Jono's narrative was thinking. (Raven's narrative was also lying.)

"Then I will have to come by the store Tuesday, if I do not see her sooner," she said. Hopefully sooner, because that would mean spending more time with Jono between now and then, and yes, she had a one track mind about that at the moment.

Oh, as if the track that Jonothon's mind was taking was much different. Honestly, Raven.

//Are you free on Saturday, perhaps? Jason's got th'droid baby that day, Joni and I could pay you a visit, if you were up to it...//

Jono's kitten had gone from adorable picker-upper to... and adorable... picker-upper. Of a different sort. Poor Joni.

"I am free," Raven said eagerly. "And I would be happy to have you come visit." And possible do other things, oh yes.

She was so caught up on that idea that she almost missed Jono mentioning the droid babies. "Oh, that is right, you are in Ethics this semester," she said. "Tara and I were parents together when I took the class."

She'd glued a wee red gem to the baby's forehead.

Awwwww. Raven droidbaby.

//How did you get through it?// Jono was a soft touch with real children, it was true. But he really had no love in his bio-nuclear psionic heart for squawky robot things. //It keeps fussing.//

And so he'd left it in his room through Glee Club, like a totally responsible parent.

"I did find it somewhat difficult," Raven admitted. "A living child I would be able to sense emotions from, and know if he or she was hungry or tired or just in need of attention. And I did not think there was a need to learn to care for a child. But I did my best to pretend she was a normal child and give her the care she needed. I would be happy to help you with your droid baby." As if she needed another excuse to spend more time with Jono. But she'd happily build a stockpile of them.

//I could probably use all th'help I can get,// Jono admitted, shifting his weight uneasily. //I wasn't exactly expecting to have to learn this sort of thing, either.//

Who would want to bring a child into the world, knowing that there was a risk of them inheriting a mutation similar to the one that had blown his chest clean away?

Or a child who would inherit a demonic heritage it would have to struggle against all its life? Then again, Arella had seemed pretty well adjusted. Anakin Bass, on the other hand....

But she wasn't going to dwell on that now, not when there were better things to dwell on. Like, say, Jono's eyes. "Then I will help you," she said with a smile. "Whenever it is not Jason's turn for caretaking."

//I appreciate that,// Jonothon replied with a bit of a smile sneaking in all over again. //Technically, I've got it now.//

Technically, he'd left it in his room. It was a droid. It was... Napping. Until he came back. Yes.

"Did you leave it somewhere?" Raven said, looking around. She hadn't heard a baby crying in the room at all. "You do not want to do that. They have recording devices within them to monitor the care you are giving."

...Jason was going to need to take care of the baby if they wanted to have another night like last night. Yes.

//It's in my room,// Jono admitted. //... Probably not good enough if I say th'kitten is babysitting, then?//

No, Jono. Probably not.

"No," Raven scolded gently. "I do not think Professor Skywalker would accept that. But help should be permissible, and I am experienced now."

Oh yeah, that totally made her an expert now.

Well, she was more of an expert than Jono, who at least had the good grace to look properly shamefaced for a second or two.

//It's just a doll,// he intoned, though it really didn't have much conviction behind it. //But help would be appreciated, if you don't mind.//

"I do not mind one bit," Raven smiled. "I am always happy to help you, Jono."

Your robobaby diapers, give them to her.

//Well, then thank you,// Jono replied.

Which did not mean that he was leaping up to rescue the droid from the dark clutches of his bedroom, and the possibility of kitten snuggles. He was quite comfortable right where he was, actually.

Raven was in no hurry to move either, despite her scolding. The droid baby had already been abandoned; it could wait a little longer. She was quite happy to remain sitting with Jono, just listening to the others sing.

And maybe some groping. Just a little. Shhh.
