Outside Room #213, post midnight

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::Cally stands in front of the door to her room, breathing heavily. Tears are streaming down her face, her whole body is trembling, and she leans against the door for support::

I frakked it up... I frakked it up for all of us...

::She continues to cry, quietly, but hasn't yet made the effort to even open her door::

Anders comes staggering down the hall shortly afterward and finds Cally there.

"Hey . . . hey . . . c'mon, it's okay. Don't . . ." He sighs and holds out his hand to her. "Cally, c'mon."

::sniffles::

But... I got us all detention again... I showed up to try and make things better, and I just made it worse... ::sniffles, and takes Anders' hand::

I'm so sorry...

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*pulls Cally up and into a hug*

It's okay. We survived this time, even after we got her so frakking pissed at us, right? We just gotta remember to be on our best behavior next time.

*weak smile*

And it really was nice of you to come and try to make things easier for me. Wish I hadn't gotten you stuck in there in the first place.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::hugs Anders back, tightly::

::sniffles::

I'm really, really sorry... ::rests her head on Anders' shoulder::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

It's okay. Really. Honest.

*sighs*

You wanna go inside? I'm totally worn out, and neither of us is really in the mood to deal with anyone else right now, I guess.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::swallows::

I... I don't want to wake Joan or anything... ::bites her lower lip::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Sometimes I forget other people have roommates.

*laughs self-consciously and digs out his keys*

C'mon then.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::does her best to smile::

Thanks.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*leads the way to 201 and opens the door*

C'mon. In you go. I'm about to curl up and start crying myself, I think.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::walks in, finally having gotten a grip on her crying::

Hey, if you start, I'm gonna do it all over again. ::wipes her eyes::

::sits down on the edge of Anders' bed, and sighs::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*shuts the door and sits down beside Cally, putting an arm around her*

That was very much not the best day of my life.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::rubs her eyes again::

Well, we had to make up for how good last night was, I guess. ::weak smile::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*blinks a couple of times in surprise*

Last night was good, huh? I mean, that good?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Well, I had a lot of fun... and, I really enjoyed spending time with you.

Didn't you think it was good?

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. I had a lot of fun, and we've gotta do the beach again sometime, like during the day when it's not so cold.

*sighs and stretches out on the bed*

Which is why today sucked so much, huh?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::shrugs, and then lies down next to Anders::

I'm just sayin', maybe we had to equal things out or something...

...though we could always try to make today a little better, I guess.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*looks over at Cally*

Yeah? Got any suggestions*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::sighs, shaking her head::

I got one or two.

::looks over at Anders::

You got any?

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*scratches his head*

Didn't I say I'd take you up on that cuddling offer?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think you did.

::snuggles in next to Anders::

And I'm holding you to it. ::smile::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Oh. *laughs*

Okay.

*leans his head against Cally's*

You know, you're much, much less creepy than that frakking doll.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so. ::laughs, quietly::

Though I could always go back and try to steal one for you, if you really want one... ::smirks::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

What? Oh gods, no! Please!

*pokes Cally in the stomach* Don't even joke about that!

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::giggles::

Oh? And what're you gonna do to stop me? Hold me down? ::bites her lip and raises her eyebrows::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*mock scowl*

If I gotta. You gonna make me have to do that?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::mock pout::

You wouldn't to it, would you? ::sad puppy eyes::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*is oddly perturbed by the sad puppy eyes*

Is that a dare?

*pokes again*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::grins::

Oh, it might be. I don't think you have it in you. ::sticks her tongue out slightly, biting down on the tip::

Prove me wrong.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Fine.

*pounces on Cally and starts tickling*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::squeals::

Hey! This is ::giggle:: so not ::giggle:: what I meant! ::giggle::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you're not gonna be able to get away and get me a creepy doll this way, are you?

*grins evilly and stops tickling*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::smiles, and rolls her eyes::

Yeah, I guess I can't. ::snuggles back in next to Anders::

I could get used to this.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

What? The tickling, or . . . *gestures vaguely at the two of them* this?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::gestures vaguely with her head at Anders::

This. ::smiles, blushing, her nose slightly crinkled::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*rolls over to look at Cally*

Yeah? I could get used to it too. 's kinda fun.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::brings her head in, so their noses are touching::

Yeah, it really is. ::smiles, her eyes closed::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*ponders*

Is this your way of saying you want to kiss me again?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::does her best not to laugh, but still lets out a little chuckle, her eyes still closed::

Maybe I'm trying so say I wouldn't mind you kissing me, this time...

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Oh.

. . . oh.

*closes his eyes and leans in awkwardly, and ends up kissing Cally's nose instead*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::when she feels his lips on her nose, she opens one eye, and looks at Anders, smirking::

::she quickly raises a hand over her mouth, trying desperately not to laugh at how incredibly cute this is::

Okay, I think we might need to work on your accuracy. ::grins::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Well. Y'know. Accuracy takes practice.

Should I, like . . . open my eyes?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think that might help.

And we'll definitely try to get in some practice. ::bites the tip of her tongue, smiling widely::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Okay?

*tries again with his eyes open, and doesn't miss this time*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::kisses back, closing her eyes contently. It's a pretty basic kiss, since she's only barely more experienced than Anders in this::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

How was that? Was that better?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::pulls back, smiling::

Yeah, that was better. ::scratches her forehead, and yawns::

You sleepy at all?

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That was kinda a draining detention. *grimaces*

*yawns* You wanna stay here tonight?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. ::smiles, and kicks off her shoes off the side of the bed, before cuddling up with Anders again::

I could get used to this, too. ::shuts her eyes and quickly falls asleep, all content and happy again::

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*thinks for a moment, and finally kicks his shoes off the end of the bed*

*curls up against Cally and falls asleep, hopefully to a lack of nightmares about eyeless porcelain dolls*
