Deck, Saturday Afternoon

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

It was warm outside. There was no way freaking way Hannibal was going to stay inside when ti was warm and sunny and there was fresh air to be had. He thought of going to the beach but figured the water wouldn't have warmed up over night so the deck it was.

There, at least, he could get out of his shirt (exhibitionism whoo!), get himself a cold drink (no telling what was in it) and enjoy himself. Finals were done, the semester was done and summer was coming.

There was really no better way to spend a Saturday in his opinion.

[deck is ooooooooopen!]

"The girl I like only likes me because I'm comfortable and she can draw on me," Hannibal aid, trying that complaining again. "I'm sooooooo abused."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"No one's going to believe that. I'm far too cute and innocent," she claimed easily. "Besides, I only threaten to draw, I've never actually done it."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you are not innocent," Hannibal said, shaking his head. "No way, no how. You find me a person who knows you who believes you're innocent."

Pause.

"That's not related to you."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure I've got people that would vouch for me," she said, smiling brightly at him. "You'll see."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I doubt it," he argued, shaking his head. "You're definitely cute but you're not innocent. The things I could tell people who are on the fence. I've got ammo!"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Don't think you really would, though," she said, smirking a little.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yes, I would," Hannibal said, nodding. "I'd tell anyone who thought otherwise."

Pause.

"Relatives excluded. No need for me to die."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela snickered slightly. "Good choice. I don't think you want to get on that side of my dad."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Can there ever be a good side of dad's when you're the one dating their daughter?" he wondered. "It doesn't seem to exist, that mythical good side."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not a 'good' side as such?" she tried. "But a side that's not the bad one... I'd really rather you didn't get beat up, or dumped in the middle of a desert or anything." Totally joking, of course. Pfft, like that'd really happen!

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"...is that a possibility?" Hannibal asked, looking rightfully nervous about being left in the desert. "Does he know we are dating?"

Maybe he could hide during possible visits.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"He does, and you haven't done anything wrong, so stop looking so nervous. I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about." She smiled, "And there aren't any handy nearby deserts anyway, as far as I know."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I don't look nervous," he said and tried to school himself into relaxed nonchalance. "I don't usually deal with fathers of girlfriends. It's a new thing."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela grinned and kissed his cheek lightly. "Of course you don't."

"And anyway, it's nothing you have to think about yet. He's halfway across the country."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good." Wait, that sounded kind of... "I mean, not good because hey that's your dad and you love him but good for my...well being?"

Maybe that sounded right.

"Can we just make out some more?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I get the sentiment," she said, a little entertained. "And would I ever say no to that suggestion?" No, the answer was no.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, would you?" he asked, grinning a little.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"No," she answered, and grinned back at him. "Or, at least, it's highly unlikely. Highly. I'm so accomodating like that."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"What if you were all sick and gross?" Hannibal asked, already leaning closer. "Would you say yes then?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I might consider it," Angela answered after a beat. "To save you from germs. But I doubt it's last."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Aww, you wouldn't kiss me to prevent giving me your cold," he said and sighed. "You're so my dream girl."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela smiled brightly. "Should hope so," she said. "Think of what I'm denying myself of for that."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"If you were sick, I'd take care of you," he promised. "Cold germs or not."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

" I'll try and stay healthy so you don't need to," she said, finally moving closer to kiss him. That was sweet. He kind of deserved something there.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

He preferred them both healthy so that was a sentiment he shared. He wasn't going to share it out loud because there was kissing happening. He didn't need to talk all the time.

Right now, he was just going to kiss her. That was the smart, fun and enjoyable thing to do.
