third floor common room - thursday afternoon - 1/15

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

As Liir had the day off today from just about everything, he decided to get some baking done. No brownies, of course, but a little bit of chocolate wouldn't hurt anyone (except Makejoy, who was once again being very good and staying outside of the kitchen) and he had a craving for toffee he couldn't quite explain.

Hence the browned chocolate-chip and cherry cookies that he pulled from the oven as another batch of them went in. They had a few minutes to cool, of course, but he couldn't quite resist pulling up one very carefully, blowing on it a little, and taking a bite.

...it burned, of course, but they were just right.

"Milk," he decided, "I hope we have some milk."

He also had up a little sign.

If you need your laundry done without losing any of it, do ask.

He kissed her cheek.

"You blush and stare at me when I say anything," he pointed out. "Should I really?"

He was only teasing a little.

"Of course you should," she encouraged. "I can't help but blush and think things." She reached up in an attempt to brush her fingers back through his hair, just above his ear.

She was touching him. And petting his hair.

...his eyes closed and he leaned to her hand. He almost forgot the compliment.

Amber smiled and stepped in even closer. "I love your hair," she whispered.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He leaned down and kissed her forehead, eyes still closed.

Then, after a moment, he smiled just a little crooked.

"What is it about this kitchen that ends up with me wanting to kiss you?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe because it's the excitment in the risk, behind the idea of getting caught?" she said, her voice just as quiet. "Kind of thrilling."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Well, I always want to kiss you," he pointed out. "It just happens that I'm in the kitchen so often. At least, I think."

And he leaned down to kiss her.

Amber liked the thought of getting caught, but then she was wicked sometimes.

Her hand wrapped around the back of his neck and she kissed him back, parting her lips.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He kissed her back, enjoying it quite a lot for a few moments before pulling back.

"Laundry?"

And the smile was just a bit amused.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

When he pulled back, Amber looked up at him, somewhat dazed.

"Mmhm," she murmured.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He chuckled.

"Come along. Hopefully, neither of us will fall into the tub..."

[new post or fade?]

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't mind falling in the tub with you," she said, possibly only teasing just a wee bit.

[I'm good with whatever!]

In a wild moment he'd probably regret, he leaned down to scoop her up. Something about wearing his clothes, smiling her smiles, kissing him, petting his hair. He often said nothing to her, not just because she would stare and stammer, but also because she gave him joy and he needed no words then.
