2nd Floor Common Room. (Late Evening)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto sat watching an old Bitterwoman re-run.

It was entirely possible she was lying in wait waiting for someone to make an appearance.

[ooc: Open to all.]

"Right. British. Not so much into the actual bookselling." Angel watched Callisto's hands. "What about the part where I could turn evil? Not a lot of fun for you there, right?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Good taste in animals though. I mean, uh..." Callisto noticed Angel looking at her hands and trailed off. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel blushed and looked at the carpet again. "Yeah but there's risk and there's risk. A normal... guy wouldn't give you that kind of problem."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto coughed and started rubbing the back of her neck. If she happened to brush against Angel it was purely by accident. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

If Angel happened to brush back, that was totally by accident too. "What about the future? You know, vengence done, maybe you want to settle down, have some kids..."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

And since it was completely accidental touching, there was absolutely no reason for Callisto to move away. So she didn't. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel might have moved his arm a little in return. "What about a more complicated village life? Just saying I've got a lack of options to offer you."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto might have put her hand down next to, or even possibly on top of, Angel's. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel moved his fingers a little. "Some people might get pissed that you're trying to give me a happy."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto might have unconsciously curled her fingers between his. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel might have smiled a little and rubbed his fingers against Callisto's. "Least if they did you'd probably kill them first."

He then blinked, as though realizing he'd just put a point in Callisto's favor instead of pointing out what an amazingly bad idea this was.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto might have been smiling from the point scoring or from the hand holding. Or both. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel glanced at her. "Could... maybe be a thing then."

[ooc: Night!]

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto glanced back at him. ""

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

It was entirely possible that Angel had a doofy look on his face.

...

Moreso than his usual one, anyway.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto grinned and then possibly looked vaguely panicked due to having no idea what the hell she was supposed to do next.

Well, she guessed she could always try kissing the doofy looking vampire...

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

If Angel turned to face Callisto then it was sheer coincidence, and not because he might've been thinking of the same thing.

Not at all.

Furthest thing from his mind.

Really.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Deciding if she didn't do something soon she'd lose the nerve, Callisto leant towards Angel and pressed her lips against his.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

There was a pause, then Angel moved closer and kissed her back. Nothing like the hard and demanding kind Angelus had done. Instead this was softer. Nicer. Like he was trying to get to know what Callisto was like.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto and nice, soft kisses were not well acquainted. She decided she could grow to like them. Lacking something to do with her hands, she rested them on Angel's shoulders.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Having a similar hand problem, Angel rested one of his on the small of Callisto's back.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

If Callisto happened to move closer towards Angel, it was purely because stretching across was starting to give her a crick in the neck.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

If Angel pulled her closer it was because he had sympathy for dealing with cricks, and certainly not because he was aware of having a very empty lap.

[ooc: leaving work soonish but will be on later]

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

And if Callisto happened to sit in his very empty lap it was mostly because Angel was taller than she was and she need the added height.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

If Angel happened to put both arms around her, it was because slipping and falling was no fun for anybody, so of course he wanted to help Callisto out in that area.
