Fourth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

There were things to think about and plans to make after some conversations last night and Hannibal felt a little cooped up and restless in his own room so he grabbed a pillow and headed down to the common room.

There wasn't any made up games tonight. Just a boy, a pillow, a movie that he wasn't really watching, a notepad of scribbled notes (that he can't believe he's actually taking) and a pizza on the floor in front of him.

He just hoped he could read his notes (silly and unnecessary as they were) since he was staining the paper with pizza from his fingers.

"I try, I try," he said and winked at her. "Does that mean you've accepted my romantic gesture?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Oh I definitely have," she said, nodding. "You've swept me off my feet."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Still got the touch," he said and smiled widely at her. "I'd offer more but I don't wanna be too forward."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Even if you did, I'm not sure I'd be able to accept," Lois admitted. "I don't want to come off as a pig. Or a ho."

"I didn't mean more pizza, Lois," he said and laughed.

"You've got more to offer me than pizza?" she asked. "I did not know that."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I could offer you lots and lots," he said, all charm. "Come on, you know that."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. The pizza is pretty good," she teased. "I don't know if what you offer could beat that."

"Oh, ye of little faith," he said and shook his head. "You won't know till you try."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Well I guess I'm going to have to try it sometime then," she said, sighing dramatically. "I hate not knowing."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You've said things like that before," he said and waggled a finger. "Promises, promises. No follow through."

"What can I say, I'm a busy gal," Lois said, shrugging. No she wasn't.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Or you..." He leaned a little closer and smiled. "...don't walk the walk."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I walk," she assured him. "I walk all the time. Everywhere. With many people."

Wait...

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Really?" he asked, snickering. "But not with me. How sad. Because I walk the walk too."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I don't recall you putting in too much effort in, uh, trying to take a walk with me," she said. This metaphor was weird.

"I gave you a pizza," he said, eyes wide before he started laughing. "Of course I haven't. I was looking for a sign that you were interested and all that."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I accepted your pizza, didn't I?" she said, grinning. "I'd call that a sign."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Too true," he said with a grin. "So, I guess I've got the next move, then?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"By my count, yeah," Lois agreed.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh." He smiled at her. "Got any suggestions?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Hmm..." Lois leaned back into the chair as she thought. "I am a girl who enjoys having a drink every now and again."

Or every Sunday when she does radio. Whenever.

"Then, it's settled!" Hannibal said. "I'll be at your room tomorrow at 6am with apple juice."

It was teasing. Mostly.

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Lois facepalmed and started to laugh. "You're a dork."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Aw, okay, not what you meant," he said, nodding. "Drinks. I can take you out for drinks. I happen to know a few places. When are you free?"
