for Roger

Mar 17, 2009 23:08

After Maureen left Mark's hut, she went for a long walk. She just needed to get away for a minute, try to get out of her own head. It didn't work. So finally she went back to her hut and threw some clothes in a bag. Then she walked to the compound and took a very long, hot shower ( Read more... )

God damn, Roger was tired. He was mainlining some Coke from the bar (not much, just enough to wake him back up) and trying to look alive enough that Dean didn't notice. He was actually taking bets with himself on how long it would be before Dean forced him onto a break long enough to nap. Maybe he'd even enlist Helen and doubleteam him. If only...

Maureen broke him out of his trance, and as soon as his eyes met her, he raised an eyebrow. "No slut makeup tonight? What's the matter? Is the tranny you were stealing all out of eyeshadow?" It was their usual repartee, and Roger was too distracted to look hard enough to know Maureen was in a bad way.

Maureen actually flinched a little at the word 'slut,' but she just said dryly, "Exactly, Roger. Sorry to disappoint. Now, where's that drink? I'm celebrating." She didn't really sound like she was celebrating.

No, she really didn't sound like she was celebrating. It did, however, seem like she was holding a pity party and was hand-delivering Roger's invitation.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked, brows knitted in defensive offense, but he was already reaching for the vodka.

"Nothing's wrong," she lied. She'd prefer talking about it after she'd gotten that vodka.

But she did concede, "I've got a new roommate." Pause. "And Mark's got a new boyfriend."

"What?" Roger fumbled the bottle. Had it really been that long since he and Mark had talked? That he'd moved on from Tosh - Christ, he'd been a wreck, Roger remembered - and found someone else entirely? His mouth curled into a smile, though, and he slid a glass of vodka and cranberry juice over to Maureen. "Well good for Markie. Do I know him?" Mark just worked better when he was in a relationship. That was classically true. And maybe Roger had worked better when he was in a relationship with Mark, but that didn't need to be explored. Ever.

"Oh, yeah." She took a sip from the glass. "See, that's the interesting part - it's the same person." She paused, then added, "Okay, actually, I guess I shouldn't assume boyfriend, as I don't think he actually used that term, but you know Mark, he doesn't really..."

He's not like you, Maureen?

"It's Prior," she finally finished. "Prior and Mark."

Had Roger actually shattered the glass, he figured he'd recieve a disapproving glance from Helen in a stern and sexy way, but luckily he caught it after the fumble, lips pressed closed for a moment.

"Holy shit," was all he said. He was surprised, that much was certain... and actually that was all that was certain at that moment.

"See, that was basically my reaction," Maureen said, and then knocked back a large amount of the drink he'd made for her. "Except, you know, quite a bit worse since I'd just accidentally walked on them in bed together."

Of course, not wanting to make it seem worse than it was, she added, "Sleeping."

Then not wanting to make it seem better than it was, she added, "Naked."
