5th floor common room - early Sat. evening

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She definitely wasn't looking too hot. Annette lay sprawled on the couch, a half eaten box of chocolates resting on her stomach. And she was watching Church Chat, thinking that it might make her laugh. It wasn't working. It was stupid right now. They were all stupid. She didn't feel special. Not at all.

After her visit to the clinic, then gun club, she felt the need to splurge and  Turtle & Canary was all too happy to oblige her.

"That is a stupid wig. Stooopid."

(open like a common room!)

"I don't really know Dick," Shawn said, assuming Dick was a person, and not a literal thing. "But, did the person who said it know him pretty well?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Funny, she never thought about that. "No. He doesn't know him at all as a matter of fact."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Then probably not a very reliable source," Shawn pointed out. He gestured at the chocolates, "Can I try and hazelnut one?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Oh, have as many as you like, Shawn." She handed him the box. "And I would do well not to trust any unreliable source." She more or less confirmed for her own peace of mind. Frowning, she lay her head back again. She was going through this misery for nothing?

"I don't think I feel very good."

"Maybe, stopping on the chocolates would be a good idea," he said, moving them to the other side of the couch. "Feeling sick is generally a good sign for that."

Not to mention the worry she worked herself into since visiting the clinic this morning.

She gave him a weak nod. "Congradulations. You are now the brand new owner of a half eaten box of chocolates."

"I should make my way up those three flights of stairs more often," Shawn remarked. "It's totally worth it, obviously."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She grinned and tried not to groan. "And I'm going to be going up and down flights of stairs for an entirely different purpose."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn arched an eyebrow. "Why's that?" he asked.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette patted her stomach, "Going to have to work off all this chocolate I've devoured over the last half hour."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn rolled his eyes. Pfft, girls. "If that's what you want to do with your time, I guess," he said. "I don't see there's any point, though."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Why not? I don't think I can even guess how many pounds of chocolate I ate today. If I just sit around my ass is going to start to hang. I don't want a hanging ass Shawn. You told me I was hot, would you still think that if my ass hung down to my knees?"

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Uhh." Shawn flailed a little. "You don't have a hanging ass." He couldn't really think of a good way out of this conversation other than that.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Hee. Hee. "It could be getting there though. But I thank you for your observation even though I'm kind of laying here and you can't see my ass right now. Not that I would stand up and show you right now cause I weight fifty million tons." She paused. "The sugar might be kicking in."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn is a guy, however attached, so of course he has previously checked out her ass. He has the sense not to say this to Annette however.

He nodded, though. "Think it might be," he agreed, grabbing another chocolate from the box. "Eventually it might hit me too."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Good. We'll be sugar-induced ass hanging common room buddies together. I will check your ass out for you later and let you know how low it lies if you want." Yeah, she was teasing. But did he know her well enough to know that?

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn arched an eyebrow at her. "Uh-huh." He blinked, then added, "Well, I appreciate that."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Just wait, Shawn. Eat more chocolate." She stared at him, like she was going to literally watch him eat as much as he could.

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Are you trying to give me a hanging ass," he asked suspiciously, hand hovering over the box.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Well I just don't want to be the only one." She grinned.

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn snickered. "So you're dragging my ass down with yours. Nice of you."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette giggled, "Don't mention it, Shawn. After all, that what friends are for. Eat up!"

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn grinned, and shoved another chocolate in his mouth with an amused shake of his head.

She smiled and felt like she had a partner in chocolate eating crime.
