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!]

"Yeah, not so much," she admitted. "Thus the whole frustration part."

Angela's, Angela's, Angela's...

"Maybe you're just not looking in the right place?" he suggested.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Well, she was looking in a very nice place now.

"Uh..." God, her brain was going. All she could think about was how good it would feel to have his mouth, his hands on her. "Uh... yeah?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You don't sound so sure of that," he said, glancing over at her again. "No one in mind?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She closed her eyes, biting back yet another whimper. "Uh... no one it's smart to think about."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I don't think anyone's feeling especially smart this weekend," he said. "I know I haven't been thinking much at all."

Too busy doing far more enjoyable things.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Wish I could say the same," Peyton admitted. And she wished she'd been doing what he had. Hell, she'd even consider Chuck Bass at the moment.

"Weekend's not over yet," he said, trying to remain optimistic for her. "Maybe you'll get in a little not thinking of your own? It's fun."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Not if the only guys I run into are you and Edward," she admitted bluntly.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Common rooms narrow it down," he said, shrugging. "Who knows where everyone else, you know?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"You suggesting, what? That I should go out with a sign or something?" she drawled.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"If you...think it might help?" He was so not good at the advice thing. Stupid boy.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, no," she said. "I'm desperate, but not quite the slut Brooke thinks I am."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Well, okay, he should have tried to talk her out of that one. "I don't know anything about sluts. Or Brooke being one. Or anything."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Hey, now, I didn't say anything about Brooke being a slut," she said quickly. Though, she could have.

"She says it about me. Because of the whole Lucas thing."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I thought you two were friends?" he asked. "That changed? Or is slut a weird nickname girls give each other?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"We, uh.. have a... complicated friendship. After the Lucas thing we kind of made up, though apparently she's still never forgiven me for it," Peyton said, just a little pissily. "But no. At the moment we're not exactly friends. She's mad 'cause I forgot to call her about something and, typical Brooke, she can't just accept an apology, she has to find a way to rip your guts out instead."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"That's...complicated," he agreed. Geez, girls were complicated. Of course, he knew Brooke for one one night stand and some various other conversations so it wasn't like he knew her well. "But, she's not here right now."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She blinked at him. "Yeah, so?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Soooo, I don't know," he admitted, shrugging. "She's not here. You are. Who cares what she might think of what you do?"

So not good at the advice thing but he was trying.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't change that fact that going around with a sign would definitely put me into slutty," she said. "And I would kind of like to avoid that if possible."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Then, don't do the sign," he said, shrugging. "Look, I couldn't tell if you were serious or not so I'm sorry on that one. I was trying to help."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Nah, it's okay," she said. "I... I'm not sure I could go through with it anyway. Sign or no. I think I'm just destined to be frustrated."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"No one's destined to be that," he said, pretty confidently. "That'd just be mean to do to someone."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Not forever," she said quickly. "At least, god, I hope not. But for the duration of this... whatever it is... As much as I might want to... I'm not sure I could."
