Welcome Dance - the Gym

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

The streamers and banners are up. So are a zillion multi-colored helium balloons.

The floor is cleared, and the bandstand is up at the north side of the room, ready for Dusted Bunnies to take their places.

The refreshment table, with the (as yet) unspiked punch is in place. There are chips and stuff as well, Chex mix, a few nachos and some guacamole.


Party on, dudes! And welcome to Fandom High.

"Maybe we'll let it percolate, try it out tomororw?" John says, trying for serious.

"No."

Teasing, he says, "Day after tomorrow?"

"Next week sometime?" she suggests, and if he takes her seriously, he's getting hit.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Oblivious, yo.

John shrugs. "Okay. Let me know a day that's good for you and we'll set it up."

Aeryn lightly slaps his hip.

"Sooner? Convince me why I should put my plan into motion sooner the next week?" And he leans back and crosses his arms.

"Are you just trying to get me to kiss you in public?" she wonders.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," he says slyly.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

She raises an eyebrow at him.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

John continues looking innocent.

"It doesn't take much to convince me, honey."

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

She doesn't have to do anything. She could just shrug and start talking about something else and let it go. Instead she asks, "How much does it take, exactly?"

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

"When you get close, I'll tell you." Because he has no idea how far she'll go and he's always willing to play.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

She'll play along for now. So she takes a step closer.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John smiles slowly. "Good so far. A little more encouragement might be needed."

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

"My usual level of encouragement is not going to happen here," she warns him, because this is public.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I only said a little," John says. "Just a smidge."

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

It is dark. And no one's really going to see them, so she dares to kiss him briefly. "Like that?"

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He smiles and reaches for one of her hands. "Good start. Maybe one more?"

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

That hadn't been so bad. "One more," she says, kissing him again, maybe a little longer this time.

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John slides a hand around her waist. "That was a good one. See, kissing in public isn't so bad."

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

Well, nothing happened because of it. Shifting slightly closer, she nods. "I like private better."

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He pulls her a little closer. "I know you do. I do too. But, still," he says and kisses her cheek, "this isn't bad."

Re: Shadowy Corner, near the Bleachers

[can_be_more]

"...No," she admits, and slides her arms around him despite herself.

"You didn't do things like this where you're from, I'm guessing?"
