School grounds, Monday after workshops

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny was pissed. And he was freaking hungry. His tongue was still firmly attached to the roof of his mouth and every now and then he would have to wipe the drool that pooled in the corners.

He was sitting on the lawn, bemoaning his sad state with little mumblings that made no sense whatsoever. He should have set the old hag on fire. Dammit all.

(it be open!)

Oh, that look meant she remembered what he told her before... when she was a cub. He looked down, feeling embarrassed and perhaps a tad vulnerable.

Savannah bit her lip when he looked away. "Or... we could pretend that there's nothing that needs to be discussed and we just go on like before."

She was a little uncertain, but she was offering him a way out.

"Either way, I'll still make that bitch pay for this."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

No. Johnny didn't want that either. Looking back at her, he reached for her hand, taking it between his. He shook his head; he didn't want to pretend that there was nothing that needed to be discussed. It was really hard to convey this without words.

"Uuunhg thh," he mumbled, shaking his head, his eyes serious. He did not want her near that woman and he squeezed her hand, trying to convey this as well.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah squeezed his hand and nodded. "Alright. Then when this wears off... when you're ready, we'll talk."

She looked into his face again. "You think she'll hurt me if I go near her."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He nodded; that'd work. And he was seriously wondering what she had to say to everything. Maaan, what if he was shot down? Rejection, in any form, sucked.

Again, he nodded and pursed his lips, looking all kinds of possessive right now.

"Even though I owe her for hexing my eyes and making me forget things so I forgot the components to a spell?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny pointed at himself. He'd take care of Umbridge if either one of them was going to do it. He did not want her near that woman. "Uuuhng thay!" Listen to me, Savannah! Stay away from her!

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah looked at him and sighed. "I will try to keep my temper over her messing with you again and avoid her. Try."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny smiled at her and leaned over to give her a sweet kiss.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah kissed him, squeezing his hand gently.

They would get this fixed.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny tried to ask her how she was feeling by way of hand movements. He might not be understood very well. Actually he wondered if she still had any feisty cub tendacies. Heh heh.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah grinned at him and nodded. "I'm a little tired from four days of attacking things and running around, but otherwise, I'm alright."

She just might have.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny pointed at her. "Uuuuth."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She looked confused. "What's wrong?"

Did she still have a tail or something?

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He was trying to tell her she was cute but was failing miserable. Johnny pouted and wiped the drool from his mouth. Dammit.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah hugged him.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny hugged her back and would be so damn glad when he could talk again. His hands ran up and down her back and he pulled back enough to look down into her face, searching her eyes, trying to see if he can read anything in them that told him something of how she felt.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah looked up into his face, her eyes full of concern ... and something else.

She would be glad when he could talk again... she wanted him to talk to her as much as he had talked to her when she was a cub.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He would; he might feel insecure, like he was opening himself up for a fall... but he wasn't sure what she felt. And he was worried about her relationship with Chris, just how tight it really was.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah also felt insecure about things. The last time she had told him about her feelings... she had worried that she had said the wrong thing. Feelings and emotions were a new puzzle.

Plus... Ronan... and Mary. She didn't know what his relationship with them was and she didn't want to be in the way.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny sighed and took her into his arms, pressing his lips to her temple. The muscles of his tongue were achy from trying to talk and he was feeling too angry right now to do much else than hold her.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah hugged him close. She could pick up his tension and frustration through his body language and right now, she would have done almost anything to make him feel better.
