roof | early evening | thursday | august 27

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex was finding himself more attracted to the roof than the deck lately, which was a change from earlier in the summer. He couldn't really pinpoint why save for the fact that he liked smoking on the roof. Today was no different. He'd lit up as soon as he'd pushed onto the roof and was halfway done before he'd even sat down on the ledge.

Things felt slow lately, like they were moving in slow motion and it was making him itchy. He really didn't want to think of it as bad omens considering he still was trying to not think about that other Fandom but those thoughts crept in more likely than not.

He shook his head at himself and made his mind go blank. Easier to deal with.

[i'm bored and it's about to storm like hell. so, natch, this is open!]

He might now, but it wasn't something she'd ever say to him.

"Like you'd put up with one," she said.

"Maybe I would," he answered, shrugging and almost smiling. "If they were hot and didn't get clingy."

Rose snorted. "Professional pride here, Alex. We don't do clingy."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"You said you missed me," he reminded her. "Somewhat clingy."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"You forced me to by being a gigantic ass," she retorted. "It's just cause."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"You missed me before then," he decided. "You just voiced it now."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"You missed me too," Rose told him. "So I wouldn't talk if I were you."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"You think so?" he asked, still being stubborn even if he'd given himself away with the arguing for no good reason previously.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Well, I don't think you're stupid," she smirked. "So yeah, totally."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think you were coming back," he admitted, dropping his eyes and scuffing his foot against the ground.

Rose reached out to nudge her foot against his leg teasingly. "Bet you were saying 'damn, sure is good no one's going to make me play poker again randomly', huh."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Yes, that's exactly what I was saying," he said, pushing that leg back against her foot. "Peppered with a little more cursing though."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Rose agreed. "I just didn't want to offend your virgin ears."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Highly unlikely," he said and made a face. "Have we met?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Haven't we?" Rose teased. She offered him her hand. "Hi. I'm Rose."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Alex," he said, taking her hand and holding it . "How are you, Rose?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"I had a shitty week," she said, still lightly. "But I think it's looking up."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," he said as sympathetically as he could. "Anything I can do?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what you're offering really," Rose pointed out.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I didn't put disclaimers on the statement," he pointed out easily. "Take what you want."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

She tugged him closer gently. "Probably could think of something." She grinned. "If it doesn't offend those ears."

Rose, you're a dork.

"Being gone a week really warped your memories," he said, moving closer to her while keeping a hold of her hand. "Gotta tell me so I can know what you're thinking, you know."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"My memories have nothing wrong with them," she informed him. "And where's the fun in telling you?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Because I wanna see what could possibly offend my ears," he told her, smirking. "And if you're not going to tell me, I want a hint."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Hints are for wusses," Rose teased.
