Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being grateful that it was just water falling from the sky?

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"He's still not your responsibility," he muttered, getting tired of his own mood. This would be a good thing.

He shifted forward, reaching around her to snag his cookies from the table and he offered her both. "Your shirt will dry."

Taking one would require moving her hand out of his hair which she didn't feel like doing so she leaned down and took a bite instead, smiling with tight lips as she chewed.

Maybe he'd be amused or maybe he'd think she wasn't at all funny, she didn't care.

He looked amused at least, and he reached up with his free hand to brush her hair back.

Since he wasn't going to talk to her, she stole a quick kiss before leaning her head down against his neck. "I won't really make you help me move if you don't want to. Even if I think it'd be faster with you and your massive biceps."

"I'll help you move," he assured her, leaning his cheek on top of her head.

"And then leave me there to sleep alone, right?" She was still frowning. She didn't like it when he was all quiet and she felt like it was her fault and she didn't know exactly which of the stupid things she said was what did it.

He frowned and dropped the rest of the cookies back on the table. "Do you want me to leave you alone?"

"No." She sat up, getting back in his face. "God, I want you to be excited again. I could tell you were before! I'm going to have a single," she reminded him. "Do you realize what that means? No one will interrupt us. Ever." Though she might miss sneaking into his room in the middle of hte night when Bod was gone.

She could still do the sneaking thing. Nothing could stop them from still sneaking around.

"I am," he assured her, relaxing as she finally said that and he smiled a little. "Do you think there will be two beds we can shove together?"

"If not, we can totally steal my bed, yeah?" Caroline suggested. "I mean, it's not like I couldn't just carry it down with my stuff... I really miss that big bed."

"Me too," he smiled as he stroked her cheek. "Though the cabin setup was kind of cool too."

Was it pathetic that he'd missed her the past week?

He was only pathetic in that he'd spent a whole lot of time with her just two days earlier, but maybe he didn't want to remember that.

"I did an excellent job with the cabin," she agreed, scratching behind his ear a little. "I was almost sorry to lose it, other than the strange kid I was living with. And the horrible bathroom situation. And lack of useful mirrors."

Oh, he remembered. It just was different.

He hummed happily at the ear scratching, eyes drifting shut and if Bobby had been there, he would have stuck out his tongue. "You managed pretty well."

"Yes I did," she said smugly, pleased that she'd made the cabins not awful for him. Yes, she took full credit for that and for his little bit of humming, so there.

"And you're very pleased with yourself," he murmured, leaning forward to rest his forehead on her shoulder.

"Why shouldn't I be? It made you happy and I did it, so there." Even if he'd helped, the idea had been hers and she totally owned it.

"You make me happy," he agreed and there was a good chance he wasn't going to move unless she made him.

Well, if he was going to be all sweet and make her blush, she'd just have to scratch that sweet spot and smile down at him. "I try my best. It's a rough job, but highly rewarding with incredible benefits."

He laughed softly, his hand rubbing the small of her back and she pretty much couldn't do anything wrong if she kept touching him like that. "I think you might end up employee of the year," he joked.

"It's barely halfway through the year," she teased, thinking it was really only like, a couple months. "You might want to hold out on the promises."

"Nah," he murmured, turning his head so he could bury his face against her neck. "I'm pretty confident."

She was just a little disappointed he wasn't kissing her neck, but eh, even Caroline knew necking in public wasn't very polite. "See, you say that and it makes me wonder how many ways I could mess it up," she teased. Did he know how talented she was at screwing up these things?

"That wasn't a challenge, Caroline," he laughed and shook his head. "We'd figure it out."

She giggled, tugging herself a little closer and recrossing her legs comfortably. "Good. I prefer not screwing up."

Mmmmmm, he could feel that. It was kind of evil and they were still in public.

Oh god, they were that kind of couple, weren't they? Fuck, but he didn't care. People could just deal. "You'll be fine."
