The Roof - Thursday, early afternoon

Annette was out on the roof, just gazing out over the school grounds, getting a bit of good, cold crisp air before her only class of the day. She was thinking about the homework that she was going to have to work on for the weekend, or if she worked hard enough, she could finish tomorrow, and have nothing to do Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, she liked the sound of that much better.

She was sipping a cup of hot chocolate, humming to herself.

(ooc: totally open)

"My roommate," Steerpike answered, thinking fast. "He snores.'

She wrinkled her nose, "That's a pain. Have you tried pinching his nose shut while he's sleeping?"

Annette didn't think that was it, but she didn't push.

Steerpike blinked and shook his head. "He'd probably kill me. The boy's a pirate, apparently."

Annette raised her brows. "Uh, well, aside from earplugs then..." She shrugged a bit and studied his clothes.

"It's not entirely unbearable. Though . . . it does sometimes sound as though he's trying to inhale his left foot."

That made her laugh, "I couldn't sleep with that. It has to be totally quiet and dark for me to sleep good. No noise, my covers all shoved up around my chin."

Shaking her head she asked him, "Have you tried talking to him about it? They make remedies for that sort of thing now."

"Do they? It honestly hadn't occurred to me."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. Sounded familiar.

"...don't think I know him."

She bit her bottom lip, thinking.

"So, about that gift. You want to come by later and pick it up? Or I can bring it to your room?"

"You've already purchased it. I would not make you hunt me down to give it to me. I'll come by your room, later."

A boy in her room.

Annette's heart started pounding.

"Okay, my door is always open. Wide open. Unless I'm getting dressed or something." She added with a nervous chuckle.

"But I wouldn't mind, you know..."

Goodness but that was amusing. Rather cute, as well.

"I would do nothing uncouth, Annette." He smiled suddenly. "Unless you were to ask me to."

She blinked and then waved her hand again in a nervous flutter.

"Heavens no, I know you wouldn't." She snorted, grinning, not quite meeting his eyes. "Oh. Well..."

Steerpike held out his hand for hers, not hiding the amused smile on his face. "It's entirely up to you, my dear."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She took his hand, an automatic reflex, "What is that?"

He gave her hand a soft, chaste squeeze.

Dude, a hand squeeze can totally be chaste.

"What behaviors, couth or uncouth, we may get up to. I will not deny that I wouldn't mind the latter."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...a squeeze like her grandmother would give her. Totally chaste.

A brow shot upwards and Annette's insides were flailing. Oh dear.

"Really. Oh. Hmm. I will hate to have to disappoint you."

Steerpike nodded and released her hand, though his amused smile didn't fade by much. "Then it will be as you wish. I'll come by your room later. And I will most certainly knock, whether it is 'wide open' or not."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Annette nodded. "I'm looking forward to it." Really, she was. Definitely.

"Until then." He bowed, looking up at her through his eyelashes, and with a final, small smile, turned to leave the roof.

As soon as his back was facing her, he rolled his eyes heavenward. What was he doing with that girl?

As soon as he turned and left, she could only wonder what the crap she was doing flirting with Steerpike. Inviting a guy to your room was definitely flirting.

"What the crap?" She said outloud to herself, shaking her head a bit as she looked back over the school grounds.
