The Roof [Wednesday, Afternoon]

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Even after a couple of hours to uh, get used to her new parts, Effy was still a little unimpressed by the situation. Look, she liked guys. A lot. That didn't mean she wanted to be one, particularly. As sure as she was that it would wear off... It was weird.

Smoking was really her best counter for that sort of thing, and it didn't take her long after sorting out something to wear that actually fitted her before she was getting restless and ventured out on the roof to sit in her traditional spot, cross-legged and pull out a pack.

Her body may have changed, but she definitely had not.

That glare had no effect on him though, wow, that didn't change when she changed genders. Still pretty fierce. He was just used to it.

"Think you'll know what to do?" he asked, still laughing. "Different when it's on you."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Aww, is that you offering to help?" No, she really didn't see him as being into men, but he was being annoying, so she was going to throw him some sarcasm.

"Thanks, but I think I can figure it out."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you only wish I went both ways," he said, letting the sarcasm bounce off him. Annoying people was a talent, annoying her was just fun.

Most of the time.

"But hey, if you can't figure it out, I'm sure I can get you a diagram or a book or something."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Don't need a fucking diagram," Effy said firmly. "And you know it." She'd seen exactly what her hands did to him, and could still be smug about that.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Someone is touchy about their abilities," he said though he didn't try to dispute her statement. Hey, he knew. Been with her enough to know she knew what she was doing with those hands. "Feeling a little insecure with all that extra weight on you?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Hardly." Weird and a little uncomfortable, yes, not that she'd admit it. Missing her normal girly parts, yes, and she would admit it, but... "Don't look bad at all." Hot. She was still hot.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"No, the island didn't do half bad on you," he said, giving her that. "Where'd you get the clothes?"

Alex found himself missing Prince Edward for the sheer fact that if he'd still been here, Effy borrowing his clothes would have been HYSTERICAL.

"Stole the shirt off Tony years ago," she replied. "Rest was Layla." One useful friend to have, always prepared like that.

... She hadn't even wanted to think what she'd have ended up in if she'd borrowed anything from Edward.

"Better than wearing anything of mine." That would also have been pretty funny, given what most of her wardrobe was made up of.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Saved him the trouble of offering anything of his and getting smirks and smug smiles and 'oh, you're such a nice guy!' statements that he was sure she'd whip out.

"One good thing about ending up a girl was being able to wear my clothes and just having them be baggy as all hell," he said, pleased at that. "I didn't have to go scrounging around for clothes on the verge of tears because my pants don't match my shirt!"

At least, that's what he thought most girls did.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"I look like I'm in tears over my wardrobe?" No, not really. But then, you couldn't go too far wrong with a t-shirt and jeans.

"Lost tattoos along the way," she said. "There's anything distressing, it's that."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I didn't see you this morning, you could have been crying," he pointed out, shrugging. The tattoos thing almost surprised him since he didn't think the island had that much power. "Which ones?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy frowned and lifted her shirt a little at the back, just enough to prove there was an empty space there.

Which was probably a good thing, because it was a kind of girly tattoo (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/Binx_349/vlcsnap-5597620.png?t=1253728948). There was a reason guy her wouldn't have had it.

"Aww, the cute one's gone!" he said, laughing in amusement. "The symbol of your absolute girliness has been banished from your body. Too bad."

He liked being annoying sometimes.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"For now," she said, rolling her eyes and dropping her shirt again. "You'll get to see it again, I'm sure."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Aww, let's hope so. I think I'd miss seeing it if I never came back," he joked, laughing again. "And what a tragic thing that would be."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy gave a short laugh, "And here I wasn't sure you'd even notice the difference."

Usually wasn't taking notes on those things when they were together, as far as she knew.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I do notice things about you," he said, shrugging like it wasn't a big deal. "Tattoos are pretty easy thing to notice, small or not. I do look at you, you know."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Notice you actually figured out who I was, this time." That smirk was going to come out for this, because he hadn't always been so quick.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Oh, shut up," he said, glaring at that smirk. "You were a fucking cat. There was no fucking way for me to know who you were. I noticed, didn't I? Prefer if I just ignored you or something?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy shook her head, still looking amused in the face of that glare. "It was cute," she assured him. "Appreciated my attention." He did give pretty good kitten fuss.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Fuck you," he scowled, shaking his head. Not a fan of having that softer side trotted out, no. "What, did you think I'd have grabbed you by the scruff of the next and thrown you into a wall or something?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say that," she said, stubbing out her cigarette and getting up to wander over. "You know, that was supposed to be a complement."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I'm not cute," he insisted, watching her wander closer. "And kittens don't make me cute even when they're you. That's just a fact."

He liked to think so, at least.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"I was fucking adorable. Enough to make up for your shortfall," she told him, smirking as she leaned against the side near him.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"And you think my ego is massive," he said, giving her a sidelong glance now that she was closer. His ego was massive but he thought she deserved to know hers was just as big. "And despite how adorable you were, you just remember that you came and cuddled me when you were a cat. That was your choice."
