Fourth Floor Common Room [Friday, Afternoon]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Over yesterday's hangover, but still not really in the mood to go out hunting down real entertainment, Angela took herself down to the common room to flop in front of the TV with yet more leftover Christmas candy.

She stretched herself out along one of the sofas to skim through the prospects, eventually stopping on a day long marathon of some procedural drama.

About five minutes in and she was wondering why she'd picked something like this to watch while she was eating.

[[Open, of course!]]

Ichigo was not a fox when he entered the common room. Neither was he stark naked or baring a sheet. He was fully dressed and fully human, in whatever order Angela would want to notice that.

He was however also in a really bad mood. Which would explain why Angela could probably hear a low, rumbling sound that might have been a greeting before he plopped down on the couch.

"Ichigo!" Fully human was the first that sprung to mind, since she generally expected him fully clothed and all.

Angela? Completely ignoring the grumble.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He considered grumbling once more, but managed to stomp down on the urge. "Hey." Not that he was bubbling with cheerfulness. And really, if he ever was bubbling, then someone was going to be very wrong.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"You're all human!" she remarked, the epitome of bubbly. Why not state the obvious.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Well, bubbly went better with her image.

"I noticed." He also was a very naked human early. One who couldn't get a shirt from his girlfriend. "Hrmph."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"You're not happy about that?" Angela asked, a little surprised. She'd been expecting exactly the opposite.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I am," he said instantly. "I'm thrilled." He was, he just wasn't showing it.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"And you look it," she teased, smirking just a little. "Although, you looked even happier when you were cute and fuzzy and begging for take out."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He made a face, managing to look even more disgruntled now. "I wasn't cute."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"No, you were adorable."

Because that was sooooo much better.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Argh! Shut up!" he fell sideways and pulled a pillow over his head.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela laughed. "But I've been waiting, like, two weeks for this!" she claimed.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"You need a different hobby," came the muffled response from underneath the moving pillow.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it's only one of my many hobbies," she told him smugly. "And anyway, I was meaning 'cute' as a complement."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"I had fur all over!" he protested, still from underneath the pillow. He was considering staying there.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"And it was fuzzy and orange," she said with a grin. "Which makes me really slow for not figuring it out earlier."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Oh, that got him to come out from underneath his pillow so he could properly glare at her. "I am not fuzzy!"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Not now," she allowed, completely unfazed by his glare.

"The hiding under cushions thing seems to have transcended form, though."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He stilled, glared even more fiercely and then promptly threw the pillow at her. "Shut up!"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Fiiiine, fine," she laughed, slouching back in the couch. "Ruin my fun, why don't you."

"Looking forward to a whole slew of newbies to torture?"

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He eyed her. "You're confusing me for Ino," he said dryly.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Will we be seeing you shirtless again?" Angela teased.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Ichigo snorted and glanced at the television. "I wouldn't hold my breath," he replied, some of his annoyance at Ino filtering through in his tone.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Shaaame," she drew out. What? He looked pretty good shirtless.

"You into the crime investigation shows?" Angela asked, following his glance.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Oh look, that might have been a blush right there and he more furiously watched the television screen. "Not particularly, but I don't mind?"
