Third Floor Common Room, Friday night

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

As it turned out, Johnny did, in fact, know how to throw a party for someone 1) on his own and 2) without just stealing rum from squirrels and claiming that made it a party (what the hell, amnesiac him?).

There was food, there was space for presents, there were non-alcoholic drinks, there was music, and there was no porn in the DVD player, he checked because he did not want any surprises.

With all that set up, the quick sign he put up explained it all: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARA." Whether he didn't know or didn't care that he neglected where a comma should be was up for debate.

"I just didn't want to be accidentally making someone angry," Mara said.

Making them angry on purpose was a whole other thing.

"You're fine," Flick told her, shaking his head. "No one's gonna be mad. Relax."

Mara quirked her lips up. "Is that true or are you just trying to be nice at my party?"

"I'm always nice," Flick told her, smirking. "You'll learn that soon enough."

"You're not always nice," Mara said firmly, "but you're always yourself and that's better."

"I'm flattered," Flick told her, snickering. "I'm gonna go get out of the way and let you enjoy other people. Come find me if you get bored though. I'll be around."

Mara smiled at him. "I will. Thanks, Flick."
