Office hours

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She's hanging out in her office, staring out the window. This much snow makes her homesick...for DC. If she had better gloves, she'd go out and throw snowballs at Josh's office window, but she doesn't, so she doesn't. Earbuds in, she is NOT listening to something other than punk. Certainly not The Carpenters, which she doesn't sing along with either.

For some reason, the Doctor doesn't mind the snow. At all.

Even though he doesn't have to be in school today, he romps up to the humanities wing with a large takeaway tray of coffee, and begins to distribute it to his favourite coworkers. Especially this one.

Birds don't suddenly appear, because it's winter, but Ten does. He doesn't bother to knock, only watches her and giggles.

She's learned her lesson and the volume is low enough for her to catch the giggle. She turns her chair around and kicks her feet up onto her desk, grinning at him. "If it isn't just the person I was thinking of."

"I don't know if I should be offended that you think of me while listening to the Carpenters..." Ten replies, setting a mocha down on her desk. "I come bearing coffee for ma belle, but I can just take it back..."

"Oh, shut up. I like her voice." she smiles softly and takes the coffee, "Why on Earth are you up here on your day off?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"I wanted to visit my favourite people," he replies. "'Sides, Maeve started to yowl at me. I think she wanted to stop being cuddled and go create havoc."

"I'm glad you came up." she takes a sip, then sets the coffee aside. "So you're here to deliver coffee...and what else?" she gives him a sly grin as she stands and moves around her desk to him.

"Maybe a kiss, if you're very good." He smirks at her a little bit and sets down the rest of the coffee. "After all, that's what's best in weather like this."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She rolls her eyes and returns his smirk. "When am I ever good?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"I can think of certain times. Though never when you're in your office except OOG zomg."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Doctor, you are incorrigable. I think you still have some teen hormones running wild." For all her sarcastic bravado, her eyes flash darkly at him for a moment, before she looks away and snatches up her coffee again.

"Probably'll take a few days for them to totally leave my system," he replies and gives her a slow look. He knows exactly what to do to her... "Until then I'll be insufferable."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She smiles softly and shakes her head. "You're always insufferable, Ten. How do you always do that to me?" She rubs her stomach to make the butterflies stop, then she walks around the desk to wrap her arms around him. "Thank you for coming up. I really am happy to see you."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"How do I always do that...?" He leans into her a little and strokes her back. Within the realms of properity. "Love, I suppose. And likewise."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She smiles softly and arches back into his caress. "Love, huh? That would explain it."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

His grin is slightly rakish. "One would think. When do you get through here?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"I have some grading to on the 201 speeches. I was hoping to be out before 7th."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"I was hoping we could...maybe...go to dinner?" He ruffles his hair, looking nervous.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Dinner? Sure, I guess. I was kind of hoping to take blankets up to the school and sleep in my office to maybe sit by the fire and drink some cocoa. And maybe go make snow angels in the park..."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

"We could do that too. Anything, as long as it's you and me together." There's a sincere sappy grin on his face.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Together sounds like the best plan ever. If it wasn't snowing..." she leans in close to whisper in his ear, "...I'd suggest the beach again."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

He laughs a little and leans further into her touch. "Then how about a rain check? Isn't that the term?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She smiles softly and leans against him.

"Yeah, a rain check."

She kisses him softly.
