3rd Floor Common Room: Saturday early evening [6-6-09]

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Peyton had tried to report for detention today, but no one else had shown up. Which seemed to be on par with the way the rest of her week had been.

Solitary, um... activities in her room hadn't helped much, so she'd headed to the common room, sprawled out on the couch in something a little more exposed than she might ordinarily wear, ordered more pizza than she could ever eat when she couldn't decide on what she wanted, and was flipping through channels on the TV.

Funny how everything made her think of sex.


[Open with pizza!]

Prince Edward, mouth full of pizza, looked back at her and kept his eyes on her hair.

He chewed slowly and swallowed before asking: "Because you are not in here to watch the television?"

"I'm sort of just trying to distract myself," she admitted. Not that it was working too well at the moment.

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

He gripped the soda can where it was resting against his thigh.

Distractions were a good thing. He was slowly learning this.

"...from?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Uh... you know, wanting, well... you know." Oh god, he was going to make her say it wasn't he?

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

He took a bite of his pizza and shook his head.

"Pie?" Ladies did like to watch what they eat. At least his step-mother did.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She rolled her eyes. "Not pie. Sex."

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Blue eyes went wide.

"Ohhhhh!"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"You made me say it!" she protested.

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Forgive me!" he replied, quickly.

"I wasn't aware people had to be distracted from sex."

"You mean you're not feeling it?" Peyton asked, rather amazed. "That itch deep down, the craving, can't take your eyes off of people who turn you on?"

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Do not flail, Edward. DO NOT FLAIL!

"Um. Yes."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Well, see, then?" And it too everything she had not to offer to ease that craving for him.

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Nodnodnod.

"The pizza is not working, I'm guessing?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Not especially if we're judging by the effort it's taking me not to grab you by the shirt and kiss you," she admitted too honestly.

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Oh, by everything sweet in Andalasia please don't! I was shoved in a closet yesterday as this girl was hungry but she was hungry for me and I have a girlfriend!"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Hey, look, I'm doing my best not to, trust me."

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Forgive me. You are pretty. I am pretty. Pretty people go well together."

...

"I don't know what I'm saying; I can barely think straight with all this tingling!"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"See?" she said accusingly. "Soooo not helping with the not kissing bit!"

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

He was innocent! Didn't he look innocent?

"What? What did I say?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"The whole bit about pretty people being together and now all I can think about is how good we'd look... together."

God... she was going to straight to hell.

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"OH!"

Nooooo! He didn't need those images in his head.

"I'm not from here!" He was going to use that excuse forever!

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"So, what? People don't have sex where you're from?"

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

His cheeks could not get any hotter. Could. Not.

"I'm certain they do."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"So, then who the hell cares where you're from?" she demanded. "Do you not have the same... parts everybody else does?"

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"It's not discussed! Priest told me everything about sex when I came here. I knew... nothing." That had been difficult to admit but he was in a frame of mine here! Protect his brain!
