Second Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[wantstodirect]

Tony put the DVD for the Roman Polanski version of The Scottish Play into the player and went to make popcorn while the FBI warning came up on the screen. He plopped down on the couch with his popcorn and pop and waited for a few people to arrive before starting the movie itself.

[Open to all!]

... Oh.

"So, you're, uh... With someone right now, huh?" There went Zack, feeling remarkably like he was intruding on something personal as he returned his arms to his sides. "Hey, George. Having a good date?"

Well. This was awkward. Zack was now glancing somewhere toward the doorway.

Dinah was still kissing George, who it actually turned out, knew how to kiss. Slower now that she wasn't having an immediate hormone rush, and soft, and warm, and...

Sorry, was someone talking?

Dinah, too, knew how to kiss; so George was realising. "Um." He pulled away. "Uh. Hi, Zack?"

[puppy_fair]

"Yeah, hi...Right." Zack rubbed the back of his head, sighing lightly. "Well, I guess I'll just... Uh... leave you to it?"

So, so awkward. Wow.

"Enjoy the movie, huh?"

Backing away. Just a few steps. Maybe a few more. That had looked like it was a nice kiss, right there. He swallowed whatever that twinge was in his chest, and then he frowned and turned to investigate what was in the fridge. The fridge was less... Uh... Kissy.

Oh, no! It was like she'd kicked a puppy! Worse. Asked for a hug then rejected a puppy.

Dinah took a breath, trying to get her brain to work, and said, "Zack? Sorry. That was, um..." Stupid! Wow. Fun, and wonderful, but stupid. Dinah looked over at George, whose hand she was still hanging onto. What can you say? "I'm kind of crazy right now. And, um. I'm on a date with George." There were exploding suns less red. "I almost kissed you there."

Zack paused and looked over his shoulder at the two of them, an eyebrow raised slightly.

"I can't imagine kissing me would have done wonders for your date, Dinah. You're out with George, that's fine. You two have a good time, okay?"

He was smiling again. See? Puppy smiles.

If she'd trusted herself, Dinah would've hugged him for that. Since she still couldn't, she said, "Yeaaah, that. Thanks." She gave him a little smile. "If I'm not crazy on Monday, can we still go out for sugar? My treat." She had some 'splaining to do, maybe. She hoped this was gonna be okay.

[puppy_fair]

Little smile. Little nod. Zack had no idea what the heck was going on around here, but he was aware enough that something was up.

Not dirty. Oddly.

"Monday, sure." For now, he was going to give a little wave as he made his way... elsewhere. Some corner of the common room that was a little less confusing, maybe. "See you then."
