Gym; Wednesday After Classes [ 02/18 ] -- Cheer Practise!

It was Chad's turn to set up for cheerleading practise, which he did pretty easily, as he never had much trouble moving the mats or even lugging around the giant container for Gatorade. In fact, the most difficult thing for Chad was picking out the music. There were a lot of options but, today, he was thinking they needed some rock. If he could make life contain just a little less pop music, he was content.

"No, I know, I know," he said and rubbed a hand through his hair. "And I appreciate it. I really do. I just don't know if you can help me. Well, no, I know you could but I don't know if it would work."

"You have got to stop with the vague," she told him. "It makes it sound worse than it probably is." Or so she assumed, anyway.

"I don't want to get too specific," he said and winced. "That'll make it worse!"

"I really don't see how," she said simply. Angela now had that annoying niggle of curiosity. Damn it.

"Angela, trust me," he said and tried to tell her with his eyes. Of course, that just looked like a lot of blinking. Dammit.

"I trust you," she said after a moment. "You know that."

"Doesn't make me any less curious, though." Especially when he started doing that weird eye thing...

"You don't want to know," he said and shook his head. "Really. You don't."

Angela sighed, leaning back on her arms to stretch them. "Fine, but if you change your mind, the offer is there," she said casually.

Yeah, that was going to bug her.

"Did I get the chance to thank you for those flowers yet?" she asked.

"No, you like them?" Hannibal asked, grateful for the subject change.

See, she could be nice sometimes.

"I did," she said with a grin as she rolled her shoulders. "They're gorgeous. And thank you."

The shoulders roll was...drawing attention to areas of her body he shouldn't be looking at.

"Welcome," he said, just a bit strangled. "I hoped you'd like them. I'm not good at that stuff."

"You keep saying that," she said, shooting him a smile. "Way I see it, you're really not doing that badly at all."

"I bought a book." He hadn't. But, man, he almost had. "How to be romantic and all the stuff that comes with it!"

Angela had to smirk a little at that. "Never pegged you as a self-help book guy," she said. Probably because she never saw him reading anything that wasn't in a magazine. Or behind one.

"I am a mysterious man!" he said and waggled his fingers at her. "And I wouldn't read that where you could see so of course you don't know!"

"You are indeed," she said wriggling her fingers right back at him with a grin. "It's very confusing sometimes."

"Yeah, right," he said and laughed. "I'm anything but confusing. I'm like the most open book out there."

Wrong.

Angela stared at him a moment, and laughed. "You are kidding, right?"

"I'm not an open book?" he asked.

"Only very occasionally," Angela told him. Like when he was lying badly. "The rest of the time?" she shook her head. "Not really."

"Does that bother you?" he asked curiously. "That I don't...share?"

"It can be a little frustrating," she admitted and shrugged. "But that's most men, so... Like you said, you're not a sharer."

"Point taken," he said thoughtfully. "I've never been overly share-y. Family trait. The Kings are a closed off family."

"I'm sure I can make up for your shortfall there," Angela remarked with a little laugh. She on the other hand, was generally pretty oversharey. "I'm good at that."

"Your family's very open?" he asked. "With everything?"
