Third Floor Common Room - Sunday (Early Afternoon)

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

It was pouring outside, and Victor was bored. and a little lonely

So, he dicided to take Professor McCoy's advice and get some training in. He took his laptop and went to the common room, where he filled a corner with bean bag chairs and pillows and such before taking off his shoes and crawling up the wall. Soon, he was sitting on the ceiling, playing around with his computer.

The idea was to see how long he could stay on the ceiling in a place with several distractions. He wondered just how long he could go on...

[ooc: open to interaction, or your common room needs.]

Walter stopped in the common room door and did a double take.

Well, he hadn't seen that particular trick yet.

"How are you staying up there?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

He turned his head and saw Walter.

Yeah, definite distraction.

"It's one of my mutant powers, remember? I can stick to anything solid. As long as I keep at least one finger on my laptop, it sticks with me."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I knew you could stick to stuff, but did I didn't know you could do it like that!"

Walter looked down at his paint and primer stained clothes and looked back up at Victor.

"I'm going to go get changed. I'll be back in a few minutes. You'll still be here?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"I hope so," he said, and turned back to his laptop. not at all watching Walter's butt as he walked away

[ooc: sorry that took so long. dinner.]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter returned a few minutes later feeling profoundly uncomfortable in his newly purchased clothes (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/553146.html).

But it was supposed to be a surprise for Victor, so hopefully that was okay.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor's and the mun's jaw dropped.

He prompty fell off the ceiling and onto the cushioning underneath with a thud.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Oops!

Walter hurried over to the corner to check on his boyfriend.

"Are you okay?" he asked, kneeling by the cushions.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Uh...yeah..." he replied, a little embarrassed, but otherwise fine. He looked up at Walter, his eyes wide and his attraction apparant. He tried to say something appreciative, but he was rendered speechless. Instead he tilted his head and kissed Walter.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter kissed Victor back and slid into a more comfortable position on the cushions with his arms around his boyfriend.

"So, why did you fall?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Because...well...look at you!" he blurted, finally able to speak. "Not that I don't think you look hot or anything, but...what changed?"


[ooc: no prob. food is good.]

After coming home from work, Ivanova decided to detour through the common room. She stepped in, saw what was going on, and decided to detour right back out.

Stupid boys, rubbing it in.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Oh, don't expect me to do this every day, but I wanted to surprise you. You like it?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Instead of answering, Victor gave him a "you mean you can't tell?" glare, then leaned forward and kissed him deeply.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter laughed somewhat breathlessly when he pulled away from their kiss. He glanced at Ivanova and gave her a wave before looking back at Victor and grinning.

"Does that mean I pass inspection?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor leaned in close and whispered, "Walter, if the first thing I think when i see you in your new clothes is about getting you out of them...yeah, you totally pass." He grinned. "So, are these out-in-public clothes, or just for me?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor waved as a woman he had never seen before walked in and out of the common room. Where was she going in such a huff?

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter ruffled his hand through his hair and thought about it. They weren't so bad, but it felt awfully damned weird.

No weirder than many things he was getting used to, though.

"Yeah, I suppose so. But you might want to think of them as my version of dressing up."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor couldn't help but laugh. "True," he agreed, ruffling Walter's hair as well. "Hey, there's supposed to be some sort of party at a bakery tonight. Do you wanna try these out there, or is it too soon?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I saw the signs for that. Something about Angel and his soul..."

He grinned and lounged back against the cushions with an arm around Victor. He looked at the spot where his boyfriend had been sitting on the ceiling and laughed at the memory. If they lived together, they could effectively have double the space...

"What do I get out of it?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"What do you want?" he countered, eyebrow raised.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I want to know what you'll offer," he retorted with a smirk.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Fine," Victor groaned with a smile. "How about...I get some boxers with the English flag and run around with nothing on but them, screaming "I love England! I love England! Or...maybe I won't make fun of you for liking black pudding. For a week."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'm not asking for public humiliation," Walter said with a mock scowl. "I like you far too much to want something like that for you. But let's up the ante on the other - no making fun of any British food for a week."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor rolled his eyes. "Deal."

He looked around and saw that they were alone. he looked at his watch and saw that there was still a while before the party. he dicided to shut down the laptop and make small talk.

"So besides surprising your boyfriend, what have you been up to?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I helped clean up some of the mess that someone who," his voice dropped to a quiet murmur against Victor's ear, "is not my roommate," and returned to normal again, "made in the second floor common room. It looked like something I saw during the Blitz, but with walls."

He tapped his feet and chuckled. "Other than that, I watched Pup attempt to convince a muppet chicken to be his mother and not much else. Did you do anything today?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"So the usual, then? As for me, all I've really done is play around online. I did a little reading, too," he added, trying to pass it off as an everyday occurance.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Anything good? I should get some reading done. These classes aren't enough to cover everything I should know."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor blushed slightly. "Yeah, it was pretty good. I learned some new things. If you want, we could go to the library one of these days and see if they have any textbooks you can borrow. In the meantime, is there anything you really want to know about?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter raised his eyebrows and laughed. "That's a funny question. Is there anything I should be asking?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor shrugged. "Well, you said that classes weren't teaching you enough, so maybe I could help you with something. I'm not as smart as the Seniors here, but I know a lot about pop culture and modern customs. Yesh, I sound like a teacher already," he commented.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Alright, teacher, I'll remember that. You're already teaching me a lot of things."

He pulled his watch out of his pocket and glanced at it. "I think we could get going to this party you're paying me to attend."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Really?" he asked, looking at his watch again. "My watch must be broken. Let me go get ready and we'll go."

[ooc: afk for, like, 15-20 minutes. hopefully.]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." He got up and followed Victor to his room before leading him, down to the party (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/556502.html?view=21794006#t21794006).
