third floor common room - thursday noonish

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

There are far stranger sights than a young man, reading in the common room, with a small fluffy bunny on his chest nibbling at a carrot.

When you take into account that the young man in question is the ever-shy Liir, that he's reading a text on channeling magic, and that the small fluffy bunny on his chest is his boyfriend...

Still stranger sights, of course, but only in Fandom.

That said, despite the fact that he was rather distressed (well, as distressed as one can be when one is presented with an adorable fluffy bunny to cuddle and care for) at Andrew's transformation, there are cookies out on the tables and from the smell in the air, he'd made them earlier this morning so they're still fresh and warm.

Stained glass, hazelnut with dark chocolate, and a new one he'd found: orange cranberry drops.

Ino was bored. So she wandered. Thus, when Ino spotted Liir... well, there was a grinning little sister sneakily creeping up behind him to cover his eyes with her hands.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He didn't startle. Instead, he smiled and rolled his eyes behind her hands.

"The cookies are on the table, you know."

[intraspective]

"But there's a bunny on your chest," Ino pointed out. "And the bunny is way cuter than the cookies."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He sighed, just a little, and scritched the bunny, who responded by rubbing his chin on Liir's finger.

"The bunny is absolutely adorable," he agreed. "He's also Andrew."

[intraspective]

...

"The bunny is your boyfriend?" Just checking.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He nodded.

"I found him this way the other night," he admitted.

"I'm assuming," and there's something very very faint, but still very very present that says if it's not someone is going to regret it, "that it's temporary."

Sky smelled cookies when coming back from a late-morning run, so he peeked into the third floor common room to see who was baking.

[intraspective]

Ino wasn't baking, but she was around. "Morning!" Ino said cheerily.

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Ino," said Sky, smiling at her. "Having a good break so far?"

[intraspective]

"It's been fun," she said, with a shrug. "Though it's really quiet around here with so many people gone. What about you? How're you doing?"

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

Sky thought about what he and Troy had done last night and nodded, going a little red.

"I've been having a good break, too," he said. "It is quiet- and boring- with everybody gone, but it's nice to relax, too. Of course, I still have to work on Friday..."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"They're done," he said quietly from behind the spine of his book. "You're welcome to one or as many as you like."

Scritch scritch the bunny. The bunny is obviously well-loved.

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," said Sky, picking up one of each to try before approaching Liir. "I don't think we've ever met before. I'm Sky Tate, I live up on the 4th floor."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

The book was put down, closed, but the bunny was not.

"Liir," he said quietly, trying to figure out what was familiar about this boy since they really hadn't met. There was something about him that was ringing distant bells at the corner of his brain.

"316. I don't go to the fourth floor much."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Liir," said Sky, sensing that the other boy was a little uncomfortable, so he took a bite of each cookie he'd taken and said, "Mmmm. You made this cookies, I assume? They're good." He then looked down at the bunny, smiling. "Who's the bunny? Is he a pet?"

Kabuto didn't leave his room often, but with basically nothing to do now that his big project was done, he was having to find other ways to keep entertained. There weren't many people around, since nearly everyone was gone to Mexico, so it took actual effort to find anyone.

For being as antisocial as he was, Kabuto did like to be around people sometimes. Just not a slew of them.

A boy, a bunny, and some fresh-baked cookies weren't an issue.

"Afternoon," he said to Liir with a little fingerwiggle of a wave. "One of the few not going to Mexico?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I went on my trip," he said with a faint smile and a nod. His hands were full of books and bunnies. Or rather, one of each.

"And have plenty of work because of it. Also, I'd rather be here, if it's all the same. You as well?"

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"I prefer the peace that comes from most of the student body being away. It's much easier to get work done." When, of course, one had work to do. Kabuto was trying not to squirm from that. "What are you reading?" he asked interestedly.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"A book on the workings of the mind," he said. "Or so it is right now. The book itself deals with conditioning the mind to properly work magic. I'm in the position of requiring such, uh, conditioning. Quite a lot."

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"So it's magical rather than biological?" Kabuto clarified. "Interesting. Do you do magic, then?"

Michael wandered in, sunglasses firmly in place, lured by the smell of cookies.

"...you got a rabbit?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He pointed at the sleeping rabbit and resisted leaning down to kiss the fur between his ears.

"It's Andrew. I'm taking care of him while this wears off."

And there was a hint that if it didn't, he'd raise an unholy ruckus until it was fixed. The broomboy was displeased. Or as displeased as someone with a cute fluffy bunny boyfriend in their arms can be.

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

Michael blinked.

"Andrew got turned into a rabbit? What, just Fandom weird?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Apparently," and yes, he did sound just a touch grumpy about it. One bit of fluff against his cheek didn't quite do the same as his usual Andrew-shaped pillow. As hard as the little bunny tried.

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

"Well, that always wears off", Michael tried to reassure him. "Or that's what they tell me, anyway."
