Fifth Floor Common Room [Friday evening]

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

Tonight, Puck was slouched on the couch in front of the television, mindlessly flipping through channels. If he were back in Lima, he would have a cup in front of him that he told his mom was juice, but really would be the beer he got someone to buy him. Here though, all he had was a Coke, and half a pizza (he had ordered it for himself, because he was selfish, but he'd probably share if someone else wanted some.) Having alcohol so easy to get here made it less fun to try. Plus he'd probably get in trouble or something for drinking in a common area.

He paused his button-pressing for a moment to answer a text from Finn, assuring him that he was having a ton of fun and that Finn was missing out. Maybe if he made him jealous, he'd come here too.

Bod didn't tend to label himself as happy but, after having a good few days, he was as close to it as he'd dare say. So, feeling social, he'd wandered down the common room and given the unfamiliar guy a wave as he came inside.

"Hullo," he greeted. "Spending the night in the dorms too?"

Puck tossed off a little wave. "Is there another option? Dude, was there another trip to the Bahamas and no one told me?"

Bobby had no excuse for being up on the fifth floor. Bobby needed no excuse.

What he did have was a ridiculous amount of chocolate easter eggs. One of which he pelted at Puck in lieu of anything normal like a "hello" as he flopped down on the couch.

"If there was, I missed it and that'd be unfortunate," said Bod, sliding into a seat and getting comfortable. "I think my skin might need time to recover. It's not used to so much sun."

And it hit Puck in the face. "What the hell?" he asked indignantly, and he would have probably been pissed if it hadn't been chocolate. So instead he just unwrapped it and put it in his mouth. Things were okay that way.

"Are you like, English?" Puck asked, arching a brow at the other dude. Because that wasn't obvious or anything.

[longislandiceme]

"Well, hello to you too," Bobby said innocently, as if he hadn't been the cause of Puck's exclamation. "What's up, man?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate in my face," he said, but he was smiling. "Is it Easter already?"

[therewaslife]

"Am I wearing a sign?" Bod joked, not realizing that poor Puck might actually answer that question seriously.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"No, you're like, pale and talk funny," Puck assured him. "But that's as good as a sign, really. Does that accent work on chicks? I always heard that it does."

Jennifer wandered into the common room, mostly because she thought some socializing might help with everything.

She smiled at the boy she wasn't sure she'd met. "Hey," she said.

"I'm pale and I talk funny," Bod repeated, unable to really suppress a grin at that. It was just hard to fault someone when they were honest like that.

"And I'm actually not sure," he admitted after a moment. "People tend to remark on it but I don't know if it's ever enabled me in that way."

"All the girls I know are always like, going crazy for Jude Law and shit, you know?" Puck said earnestly. "I figure it's got to be the accent. Keep me posted. I'm Puck, by the way."

[longislandiceme]

"Yeah, and the Easter Bunny's totally hiring elves. Says it's not fair Santa gets helpers and he doesn't." He shrugged. "I'm thinking of applying."

"Hi," Puck said, smiling a bit and waving, because she was cute. "Pizza?"

He'd share, but only because she was cute.

"Think he'll take a Jew?" he asked, jabbing a thumb at himself. "I look good in pastels."

[therewaslife]

"Bod," he said, leaning forward and offering his hand to Puck. Poor Puck, luckily, didn't get his full name because Bod was getting the feeling it might confuse him. "And I will. I didn't know girls were that partial to accents. I didn't pay much attention before I arrived here."

[longislandiceme]

Bobby was, it should be noted, distinctly non-flaily as he tossed a chocolate egg Bod's way.

"It's the weekend, dude. Staying in and being lazy is what it's all about."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm Jennifer," she said, in a weak attempt at humor. She smiled back, though. "But I'm always for free food. Free food is less calories, after all."

After a week spent alone, brooding a bit in reflection, Bruce decided it was time to reenter social life. And so he went to the common room.

"Evening," he told the group brightly as he walked in. "How is everyone tonight?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"That," Puck said wisely as he shook Bod's hand, "is because they all have hot accents over there, so yours is boring and mine is hot. I should go to England. I would get tons of tail."

[therewaslife]

After seeing Bobby's greeting to Puck, Bod was prepared for this and managed to knock the chocolate egg into his lap before it hit him.

"I might have to break those rules then if the weather continues to be nice," Bod admitted, unwrapping the egg and not saying anything about Bobby's lack of flail. "Though, the being lazy part is something I plan on doing, inside or outside."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Is that how it works?" Puck asked. "I always heard that only works if you eat standing up."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Bored," Puck answered, rolling his eyes to look at Bruce. "What did you bring to make it better?"

[therewaslife]

"You think?" Really, Bod thought some of the girls might get a kick out of Puck for all the wrong reasons. He seemed harmless though. "You'd play the American in England bit and hope that garners sympathy from the British girls?"
