Third Floor Common Room, Sunday evening

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

Andy had got back to Fandom after another visit with his brother (who was getting a little clingy Andy thought, but hadn't been able to bring himself to say to anyone) that afternoon and unpacked. He was sorry he'd missed the welcome picnic the day before but brother. Clingy. Really, he was going to have to do something about that, but since the new term was about to start and he'd have the excuse of classes to stay put for a while he felt he had some breathing room.

But he still was hoping to socialize and meet some of the new people so he made himself comfortable in the common room, with some munchies, and turned on the tv. Tonight was the season finale of The Amazing Race and even if no one else showed, he'd have a nice relaxing night unwinding and seeing who won.

Raven had been on her way up to the roof to meditate when she felt a familiar emotional presence, and gladly postponed said meditation to hurry down to the third floor. He was going to have to deal with a little bit of clinginess for a few moments more because he was getting a happy hug.

Girlfriend hugs were totally not clingy at all in Andy's book. "Hey," he said happily, hugging her back.

[trigons_child]

"How was your weekend?" Raven asked, settling beside him. "Is your brother well?"

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"He's fine," Andy said, not really wanting to talk about Webber just then. "How about you? Picnic good yesterday?"

[trigons_child]

"I did not mingle much," Raven admitted. "Crowds are difficult for me with all the emotions. I did meet a boy named Jason who is from a world that is like mine, for it had the city of Gotham."

"Yeah? Same one? Or a slightly different one?"

[trigons_child]

"I do not know yet," Raven said, shaking her head. "We did not speak at great length, but perhaps we will find out in the future."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"I can't imagine anyone not wanting to talk more to you," Andy told her earnestly.

[trigons_child]

Raven blushed, then smiled and lay her head against his shoulder. "It was a very hectic day," she said. "I am certain we will encounter each other again, when it is calmer and a better time to speak."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"There usually is. And the picnic can be really overwhelming for new people too," Andy said, as put an arm around her.

[trigons_child]

"I am much better at shielding myself now," Raven said, snuggling into Andy's side. "But when the new students arrive, they are so full of excitement and anxiety, and it is harder to block them out. But at least I am not as overwhelmed as I was a year ago, when I first arrived here." She could hardly believe it had been a year now.

"Time flies when you're having fun, huh?" Andy observed with a smile.

[trigons_child]

"They have been more fun since I met you," Raven said happily.

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"Likewise," Andy said smiling. "I still sometimes have trouble believing that someone as beautiful as you would go out with me."

[trigons_child]

"Why would I not?" Raven said, slipping her hand into his. "You are sweet and fun and I think you are very handsome."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"You've had your eyes checked lately, right?" Andy joked.

[trigons_child]

"My eyes are fine," Raven insisted. "I am a healer. I would know if there was something wrong with them." She peered at him. "But perhaps I should check yours?"

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"I know I'm just average," Andy said with a shrug. "I mean I'm not scaring any dogs or small children or anything, but compared to guys like Chuck or Sam, I'm... average."

[trigons_child]

"Different people have different ideas of beauty," Raven said. "You are not like Chuck or Sam, but I like you just the way you are. In fact, I am very glad you are not like Chuck."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"Then I guess I'm happy I'm average," Andy said, smiling.

[trigons_child]

Raven tilted her head up to give him a quick kiss. "I would not change anything about you," she said.

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"Nothing?" Andy teased, after stealing another kiss. "Nothing at all?"

[trigons_child]

Raven thought for a moment. "Perhaps I would have you be here on the island more often on weekends," she said, "but I know you want to spend time with your brother, and I do not begrudge you that."

Robin had spent the weekend with family as well, albeit of a less clingy kind. With several brothers and sisters and cousins around, it was easier to let one kid stay most of his time either with his uncle or in Fandom.

But still, his parents had somewhat guilted him into coming home for Mother's Day weekend. It had been a good time, but he was sad he'd missed the picnic.

"Hi Andy!" he waved. "Where's all the new kids?"

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"Not here," Andy replied. "I assume they're around somewhere, unless nobody new enrolled or they all got scared off already."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"That would be depressing." Robin said. "Hopefully they're just elsewhere. We should try to lure them in here somehow."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"I've got tv and munchies," Andy pointed out. "That usually works around here."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Hmm, Robin wasn't sure what else to do. "Maybe we just need to start the tv and munchies earlier in the evening."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"They'll come eventually. Might just be resting up after the picnic yesterday."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I'm so mad I missed it." Robin said. "Well maybe not mad, I had a great time back home. But still, the picnic is fun." Except when people freaked out so bad upon meeting him that they screamed and ran.

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"I missed it too. Sorry I did." He sighed. "Family obligations."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"You too huh?"
