Library, Sunday

[gavegoodface]

One week into the new semester and nothing had exploded, that could mean only good things ahead. Also the inevitable explosion, because there was always an inevitable explosion.

But while they were waiting for that, Face had set up a few book displays and was reaping the rewards of his labour. Yeah, he was napping again.

Face was so very, very innocent as he asked "So you don't want to check?"

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"We are in public," she hissed.

There was no one else there, so it was anyone's guess why she was suddenly whispering.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Because unlike her boyfriend, she had a functioning sense of shame?

Face clasped his hand dramatically to his forehead. "I guess I'll just suffer then."

Re: Talk to Face

Sometimes it felt her sense of shame had increased to compensate for his insufficiency.

"It is nearly lunch time," Cassandra said. "If it is so important, you can take a... break."

Ahem.

"It is a medical emergency," Face said, nodding solemnly. "It'd be terrible if there was an outbreak of this space shirt allergy."

Certain members of the student body, both female and male, might disagree.

Cassandra shut her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Ugh," she said, as the red in her face receded. "Come on, then."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Face grinned and pushed his chair back. "Lead on, my lady," he said with a bow.

Re: Talk to Face

Cassandra let out a sigh, putting one hand on her hip (because the alternative would be to grab for his and that felt rather embarrassing at the moment). "You are the picture of courtesy."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"I do my best." Best to drive her to distraction, maybe.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Best of what, I wonder," Cassandra muttered, walking towards the exit.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Being adorable and charming?" Face suggested as he followed her.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Debatable," Cassandra said.

Mind you, that didn't mean that the moment she was outside in the hall, she didn't turn around to face him and reach for his hand.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"You mean I'm not adorable and charming?" Face was hurt, truly hurt. Really.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

"Only when you do not think you are," Cassandra informed him.

Leaning in to kiss him after that was probably reinforcing the wrong message.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Definitely, but Face was certainly not going to point that out when it might mean an end to the kissing.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

The sad thing was that Cassandra was so immediately distracted by her own decision that she didn't even realize she'd slid her hands under Face's shirt until she broke away.

She might have forgotten about the 'still in public' part.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

But the hallway outside the library was a totally different kind of in public to the library itself, but again Face was wise enough not to point that out.

He'd just be grinning like an idiot, instead.

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra let out a soft, pleased sigh.

Then she realized where she was. "... Your room, Garik."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Yes, right way." Odd how amenable to some orders he was.
