Third Floor Common Room - Tuesday Evening

Class had been interesting, as Neil had never really thought about a food stuff as being able to predict the future but then, really what made a crystal ball so special?

Speaking of food stuffs, despite the heat outside that still tried to claim the day as summer, Neil's instincts told him it was October and thus time for comfort foods. This translated into the tried and true staple, grilled cheese and soup.

Only Neil liked to add bacon and tomato to his grilled cheese. So he was out in the common room, frying bacon and setting out the necessary ingredients for the sandwich protion of the meal.

[ooc: Common room = open, like OOC = no end of the world.]

Andrew went in search of Neil and finally found him in the common room. He didn't say anything but just moved to wrap his arms around the other boy from behind.

Neil grinned, since those arms were pretty recognizable and he leaned back slightly in their embrace, enjoying the sensation of Andrew holding him.

"Good evening, you." He said softly, a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Hungry?"

Andrew tightened his hold and brought his chin up to rest of Neil's shoulder. "I'm good," he said softly in the other boy's ear. "I think all that tea today is upsetting my stomach."

The grin sobered a bit to a worried expression and Neil reached back to gently smooth his fingers through Andrew's hair.

"You sure? I could make you just a plain grilled cheese. Might help sop up some of that tea?"

Andrew moved to kiss Neil gently on the neck. "Don't worry about me. I'm of the mindset that if I ignore it, it will go away. If I'm eating, all I'll do is think about it."

He didn't pull back though, not thinking that his current proximity could hinder the cooking process.

The proximity was too nice for Neil to consider asking Andrew to step back but the real distracting factor was that kiss, which caused a gentle shiver to race through the whole of Neil's body, from shoulders to toes and for a moment all higher brain function seemed to blip off line as he stood and grinned all goofy like.

"Okay," he seemed to remember to speak on automatic pilot, shivering again and turning to kiss Andrew on the jaw.

Andrew was quiet for a moment, enjoying the way his jaw tingled where Neil had kissed him and how good it felt being this close to the boy in general.

The, offhandedly, he remarked, "You know, this would be a very bad position for you to be in if I was a vampire. You know, without a soul and all."

Chuckling softly, Neil tried an experimental nip at Andrew's jaw, just to see what might happen, even as he said.

"Lucky for me, you're not a vampire. Though, I guess I'd be pretty torn if you were one, between fear for my life and wanting to be close to you like this."

Andrew grinned and nipped back. "Oh, I would totally turn you. That way we could be creatures of the night together forever."

He sighed contentedly, and gently kissed Neil behind the ear. "Would you be my dark paramour, Mr. Perry?" he asked at a whisper.

Damn it, Andrew was toooottaaallly making Neil forget they were in a common room!

"Mmm, perhaps I could be the last vestige of your soul, isn't that how the romances usually work?"

"Yeah, but do you want it to be typical? I mean, there is something to be said about the classic good versus evil going wonky with love bit, but sometimes it's better when things don't go as planned, you know?"

At this point, Andrew became totally lost in his own thoughts.

Neil could tell that Andrew was drifting and he turned with a soft laugh and placed a light kiss directly on the other boy's mouth.

"I do," he said quietly, since he certainly never planned to let someone in as close as he'd let Andrew.

Turning back to the stove, he quickly made up his sandwich and then poured soup into a large coffee mug.

"So, other than a bad stomach from too much tea, how are you doing?"

Reluctantly, Andrew backed away so the other boy could eat his food. "Things are okay. Hey, he did you know that there are only two types of poisonous snakes in this part of Virginia? The Northern Copperhead and the Timber Rattler."

Andrew smiled and added, "I've been doing research for our camping trip."

"Remember though, you need to add in the potential Fandom factor, which probably would mean that any copperhead on this island would end up being a snake, literally with a copper head," Neil pointed out with a grin.

"When would you like to do our camping trip? I was thinking maybe the weekend after Parents Weekend?"

Andrew nodded. "That should work. It'll give me something to look forward to, to, you know, make it through Parents Weekend and all."

Parents Weekend was something Andrew could definitely live without.
