Fourth Floor Common Room; Saturday Evening.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

His weekend, Cal decided, was just going to be full of new sorts of things, and he decided to stop being lazy in his room and go down to the common room to be lazy there. The common room had the added benefit of television, and he realized that he really hadn't bothered watching much modern TV.

...After a little while of flipping through the channels (after another while of trying to figure out the remote), Cal understood why he hadn't bothered. It was a weekend of new things, but he decided that watching TV wasn't one of them, and he soon turned it off, leaving for his room and coming back with a book and his script for the play to just do some good old reading.

Cal held up a finger. "Boyfriend privileges," he stated. "Boyfriends shouldn't have to pay."

"Give me a moment while I ponder that."

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Cal made an elaborate show of checking his watch.

"Moment's over."

Amber snorted. "What are you, some sort of moment god?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"No," Cal said, shaking his head. He dropped his voice to a whisper again, coming in closer to Amber, his forehead tilted toward hers. Part of it was just to be close and cute, but it was also to help make what he said unheard by anyone other than her. "That would be Chronos. I am just a mere muse."

"Yah, I was never any good at mythology," she replied with a slight, soft grin, leaning towards him.

"You should brush up," Cal told her quietly. "That's all my culture, you know."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"To know you is to love you?" she asked. "I might just do that."

Cal grinned, trying to ignore the way Amber's words made his chest ache from his overactively flipping heart, and he closed his eyes. "And if you need any help..." he said, dragging off because he was leaning forward to lightly kiss her.

Her eyes dropped to his mouth and she leaned forward to meet that expectant kiss, murmuring first, "I'd like that."

Once he drew away just as lightly as he'd approached the soft kiss, Cal grinned, almost bashfully, as he said, "I don't think I know any myths involving third nipples, though."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"That's a shame," she grinned, reaching up to lightly touch the hair near his temple. "Your girlfriend's been plagued her whole life and there aren't any stories? Surely I can't be the only one."

[Me too!]

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"I'll write a story for you," Cal offered, closing his eyes to relish the brushing of her fingers. "About your third nipple. After I see it, of course."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I have a confession," she whispered after a moment. "I don't have a third nipple." Her fingers moved back through his hair. "But I think I'll let you see for yourself anyway."
