Roof, Sunday Night

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip was up on the roof plunking on his guitar, staring up into the stars.

Jesus. Poor Marie. And to think he started this day planning on soaking everyone.

"I guess so. Zero's the lead, but I might sing back-up. There's only one guy in the whole band."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It's a Fandom band. What does he play? Bagpipes?"

[nadiathesaint]

"You know? I'm not actually sure."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Well, regardless of what he plays, congratulations to you and to Pippi. That sounds like something fun."

[nadiathesaint]

"Thanks. You'll come to our gigs, right?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"With my girlfriend and my best friend in the band? Of course I'll be right in front." No matter what kind of music they played.

[nadiathesaint]

"Good to hear. So I seem to remember we were going to do something last night,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I think you were going to tell me something. In your room."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, you were going to try to get me to tell you something. In my room."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter snickered. "I suppose it is your turn with the cuffs. I might have to wait to get you to talk."

[nadiathesaint]

"We don't have to keep track, you know. But if you insist,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Just trying to be a gentleman, but I could insist if you wanted me to."

[nadiathesaint]

"Wait, are we arguing over who gets to put the other person in handcuffs? Or who gets to be put in the handcuffs?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Were we arguing?" Walter laughed and shook his head. "We can save the bother and leave them out."

[nadiathesaint]

"There is that." Nadia smiled up at him.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter leaned over to kiss her. "Shall we stop talking and go do?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Can we jump off the roof first?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Now that's foreplay!

"One last jump of the summer?" Walter stood up and held out a hand for Nadia. "We can do that."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yay!" Nadia grabbed his hand, running her thumb quickly across his rings. "We have to do it while the weather is nice."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Definitely." Walter gave her hand a squeeze and looked down at the campus grounds below. "I'm glad we have this." Even if winter was coming.

"Ready?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Hell yeah."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You know what to do, then." Walter held out a hand toward the edge.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded, then took a few steps back and actually gave herself a running start before jumping off with a whoop.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter grinned as she went, and laughed when she whooped. They must be rubbing off on each other.

He waited for her to have a few seconds of free fall before launching himself off the edge, hooting delightedly.

Nadia closed her eyes and spread out her arms as she fell. This was as close as she'd ever come to flying without being in a plane, and she relished it.

Though, at some point, they would have to figure out how to get to do it from higher up. . . .
