Fourth Floor Common Room | Afternoon | Sunday | May 8

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

Earlier today, Nathan had shoved all of his things into bags and piled them up near his bed. He'd left just a few things out for tomorrow (clothes, cigarettes, small bottle of alcohol, and wallet) but other than that, he was ready to go.

But, he wasn't leaving right yet. He still had a whole day to do nothing but kick his feet up in the common room and relax. He'd dug out a bag of chips that clearly wasn't his (or was it?) and was flipping quickly through various channels in the hopes of finding something halfway decent to watch. He didn't want to be preached to or bitched at or lectured. He just wanted something mindless but Sunday mornings were proving harder for that than he'd originally thought.

Eventually, he settled on some news program. The broadcaster was some older, distinguished lady wearing a see through top and Nathan was counting the number of times her chest pressed hard enough against that top and made it able for him (and everyone) to see things. He was up to four so far. Who knew news was so entertaining?

[It's an open CR and this might be the last time Nathan's out and about before he leaves. He's probably going to sneak out and not tell anyone and then go die. Oops. Anyway, yes, wide open.]

Comments

Ariel nodded, as gravely as one could with a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Oh, I'll miss you terribly."

But her head quirked with interest. "Where are you going?"

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"England," he told her, shrugging. "Back home. I've had my fill of this place and the siren song of toothless British girls is calling me back. I cannot deny their call."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Awww, for good?" asked Ariel, and now she really did frown.

Even if she had to ask, "Are they really toothless?"

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"For good, yep," he said and wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. "I kinda got a little fucked over here and made the decision when I was pissed at the world. I can't take it back now. And yeah, some of them really are toothless. Makes blowjobs fun, let me tell you."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel lifted a finger, opening her mouth as if to make a comment about that last part, but then she seemed to think better of it, or at least thing a little more on it, dropping her hand back into her lap and frowning.

And then her brain worked things into what back home also didn't have teeth, and, yeah, that was territory that no brain should have to willingly enter.

"What happened?" she asked, instead. "And, um...are you taking all your porn?"

There was something hopeful in the second question. Not so much that she wanted it for the content, of course, but just that she wanted it because she was a terrible and incurable hoarder, one who realized there wasn't enough porn in her collection, really.

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"What happened is that I got both fucked and screwed over," he said and clapped his hands together before rubbing them together. "Squished like a fucking bug and punched in the face because I'm a good bloke."

That was abstract and vague but it was the truth. "And I was planning on taking all my porn, yeah. Why?"

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I don't know," Ariel shrugged. "But maybe if you wanted to lighten up your load a little, I think I know someone who might want to take some of it on."

A good example of how she was mostly interested in having the porn just to have it was how she saw nothing wrong with the context of that statement.

Although perhaps not, if she was more concerned about Nathan now. "....Was it someone that both fucked and screwed you over?" she wondered. "Because that's...not cool, Nathan, at all. Who would do that to you?"

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeeeeeeep," Nathan said, putting some extra emphasis on that last sound. Nathan knew that the other person saw things differently but dammit, he thought he was fucking fight. And he had a lot of evidence to prove it.

"And sadly, the screwing and fucking that happened to me was not because I refused to give her some of my porn," he said, making a light joke. "Not that she asked but I wouldn't have given it to her anyway."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

There was a slight pause.

"Wait, we're talking about the bad kind of screwing and fucking, too, right?" she asked. "Not the good kind?"

She just wanted to make sure!

"And are there any girls that, if they asked, you'd give them some? Maybe to remember you by?"

Or maybe just because the collection demanded it, but that sounded a bit nicer.

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"The bad kind. If it was the good kind, I'd be using a lot more details."

And Nathan thought that said it all considering he was pretty partial to the good stuff so if it was bad, it was pretty fucking bad.

"And why the hell do you want some of my porn?" Nathan asked because, yeah, he'd picked up on the fact that she seemed stuck on this topic.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Because I don't really have enough," Ariel explained. "I mean, sure, I could just go and get some, but I'd rather spend that money on cute shoes."

Priorities, Nathan. Ariel has them.

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"And what makes you think I wanna part with my porn?" Nathan asked, frowning at her. "What am I supposed to use to drown my woe at leaving behind so many beautiful American girls? I'll need the porn just to help me even get it up!"

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but not all of it," Ariel reasoned. "I mean, you probably have a lot, and that's a lot to carry all that way. Besides, there's got to be some good looking girls in England, too. The boys couldn't have possibly gotten all the good looks."

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"Are you trying to kiss my ass in the hopes that I'll get all happy and shit and just hand over my porn?" Nathan asked, laughing. "It's gonna take more than that for me to part with some of that porn. That's high class shit, Ariel! That's professional level porn there. They make it look like amateur shit but with a professional level shine."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Well, maybe I was just thinking about Bod," Ariel smirked. "He's from England, too. But, either way, the fact that it's so good is all the more reason to help a girl out! How am I going to know what's good if I don't have someone here to guide me through it all, Nathan?"

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"I could just leave you a list of good titles," Nathan pointed out. "Or you could find someone else that owns porn and steal it from them. You think I'm the only bloke that watches porn in this dorm? Fuck no."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"But it just won't be the same if it's not from you, Nathan," Ariel informed him in a sing-song voice. "Your porn was my first porn; you never forget your first."

Well, technically, that class was the first, but if she wanted to associate porn with any curly haired person from England, it sure as heck wasn't going to be Sherlock Holmes.

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't shopping for your own porn be a more rewarding experience?" Nathan asked curiously. "It'd be like growing up and getting hair in all those secret places at once!"

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Not even close," Ariel said, shaking her head, and adopting a bit of a pout. "Because I know I'd be shopping for my own porn because I failed to get you to let me have more of yours."

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but you'd be using the skills you learned from me in what constitutes a good porn and putting them to use just like I know you can. I believe in you Ariel, I really," Nathan encouraged.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"But there isn't just...one...little thing you could leave for me to keep me inspired?"

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"It's a bit worrying how close you are to actually begging for my porn," Nathan remarked idly.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

See, but it wasn't even about the porn anymore. It was all about the victory.

Which was why Ariel summoned up all the power of those great big blue eyes, training their watery hopefulness on Nathan ask she shamelessly asked, "Pleeeeease?"

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

"I'm very attached to my porn," Nathan said, standing tall in the face of that look for the moment. "It's like my child, Ariel."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Ah, but, Nathan," said Ariel, "there comes a point in every father's life where he can't just hold his children down anymore. He has to let them go, let them be free to live their own lives without him. Think of it like a father giving his daughter away on her wedding, into the hands of someone who will care and cherish her forever."
