Nighttime, outside the dorms

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

A trip into town had resulted in Sean getting everything a puppy could need to be happy, and many many things that he didn't need per se, but which were too damned cute to resist.

There had also been Christmas presents for the pooch, but those were safely hidden in the back of Angel's closet since lord knows he isn't hiding there where Sean couldn't find them.

Sean himself was currently sporting a red and green collar with, appropriately enough, a dog tag. On the tag it said "My name is SEAN. My dad's name is ANGEL."

Sean's new possessions were back in the room. In the meanwhile Angel could tell the signs of a puppy who wasn't yet ready to settle in for the night.

So they were outside, playing with a new ball, snow, and generally having more fun than you ever thought a broody vampire could have.

Behold the power of puppy.

"Well yeah but there's know and there's know," Angel pointed out. "Like if I just saw her in study hall once that's different from spending lots of time with her, right?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory rolled her eyes. "You know her. You've spent time with her."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"So who is it?" Angel looked uncertain. "No, don't tell me. Tell me. Tell me but don't tell me?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory grinned. "Can't say. If you ask me questions, I'll answer them, though."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What's her name?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory just looked at him.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What?" Angel looked innocent. "It's a question."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's a bad question," Rory said plaintively. "Now, pick a good one. Ask me something else. You're making this harder than it should be."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel rubbed his eyes. "Um. Okay. Going out on a limb and assuming she's bigger than a breadbox. Uh - do I share classes with her? Did I?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory frowned, thinking. "I know of at least one that you did, because I was in there too."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Angel said. "Does she live on the second floor?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Rory smiled.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel looked surprised. "She doesn't?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shook her head.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel felt an odd combination of pleasure and disappointment at that. "What floor does she live on?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Third, now."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel blinked. And blinked some more.

"Did she used to live in the attic?" he asked, very quietly.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded, beaming.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel didn't blush. Vampires never blushed. It was undignified.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You know who it is, then?" Rory asked.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel mumbled something. It might have been a name. It might have been a name starting with C.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry Angel, I didn't catch that."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Cmmphhmo?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hmm?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel rolled his eyes. "Callisto?"
