Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Afternoon

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John was a failure of a big brother for never sharing the wonders of chocolate with his sibling.  He decided to make it up to his little sister by gathering every sort of chocolate he could get his hands on for a tasting in the common room. 

Which meant there was chocolate cake, chocolate pie, and chocolate pudding, in addition to a wide variety of chocolate candy, spread all over the common room.  Far too much chocolate for two people.

"Okay, so, I think you should try the plain chocolate candy bar first.  It's both classic and pure," he recommended to Faile.

[ooc: CR is open with totally moddable chocolates.]

Charlie facepalmed a little, and said, "Oh. I get it now. Ummm..." She gave him a wary look. "Am I allowed to say 'hey!' to that at this point?"

"Um, yes, I suppose you have that right," he acknowledged. "But like I said, I did it before the 'us' thing. And it's not like I'll be trying to hit on other girls now," he attempted to defend himself.

Charlie sorted through her reaction, and arrived at: "Actually, that makes it kind of cool, then. That you're going to be in a room with girls, talking about Feminism. I'm sort of sorry I'm not taking that one too." She gave him a mischevious look. "Too bad I can't sign up for a Modern Guy class to make it *totally* fair, but too late now."

"Well, that's a much better reaction than I was imagining," he sighed with relief. "I'm doing something cool? Hooray for me!" He ate a few more M&M's before offering Charlie the bag he'd been hogging. "Sadly, I think a course on men would just be considered 'history' as that's the bias in our society."

Charlie made a face, then smoothed out as she took more M&M's. "Probably. Another reason to skip it and read what I like. And you signed up for the course before we were official, so how can I get mad? It's not like you'll be telling all those girls they're hot." She paused. "You aren't, right?"

"Right," he assured her. "There's no way I would want to risk things with you." That may have sounded more romantic than it was. But really, what guy would risk losing the potential for having regular make-out sessions for the first time in his life?

Charlie, being more romantic than practical, smiled at him and felt complimented. "Thanks. That's so sweet." She held out the M&M's to him again. "This is going to be a great semester, I can tell already."
