when I left you were fast asleep...

Nov 18, 2007 22:51

When one Robert Chase drug himself out of bed, he chanced a look at the calendar hanging on his wall. There were two names, written largely in red ink that, when realization struck, made him feel absolutely sick.The names'Rowan' and 'Kayla' were so carelessly scrawled upon it, and he tried taking it down, only to find it would be back in it's spot ( Read more... )

"Hey."

Ben plops down in a chair next to Chase, puts his elbow on the table, and leans toward him. He can tell that there's something different about him, and not a good different, but he's smart enough not to ask.

He doesn't push people into talking, that's JD's thing.

"Beer?" He thinks one up and tilts it toward the man.

Blinking, the blond looks up at Ben and offers a smile that's probably amongst the most genuine he's managed all day.

"You know me too well, eh?" He attempts at a light jest, taking up the beer tilted in his direction.

"How've you been?" Well, better than last he saw him, obviously. He didn't look like he'd come from a Tarzan movie this time around.

Well, not that that had been a terrible time, either...

Ben thinks up a bottle of his own and smirks a little, opening it with a satisfying click sound.

"I've been good. Missed you of course." He says, reaching over and ruffling Chase's hair. "How about yourself, Aussie? Haven't seen you since..." His smirk widens into a smile. "Halloween."

intensivistmd November 19 2007, 05:42:34 UTC

Wrinkling his nose and failing to duck away from the other's hand ruffling his hair, swatting at it lightly. "Hey now," Goodness knows his bedhead was just made even worse!

Not that Chase' hair was ever particularly neat.

"I'm all right." He mutters, but can't help but return the smile he sees spread out on the other's face. "Where's that camera of yours, hm? I haven't seen it flashing about lately." A smirk given before he nudges the other's leg with his foot.

kingofgaychickn November 19 2007, 05:47:16 UTC

It's one of Ben's missions in life to worsen the bedhead of others.

Mission accomplished.

Ben takes a gulp of his beer, wiping his mouth and smirking back at Chase, nudging Chase's foot with his own. Grown men playing footsie, how adorable.

"It's upstairs, enjoying a well deserved break. Haven't felt very... inspired as of late."

intensivistmd November 19 2007, 05:52:06 UTC

Chase takes a good drink of his own beer as well, letting out a soft, satisfied sigh afterwards. The red names from the calendar are still nagging at the back of his mind, but Ben seems to make that fade quite a bit.

"I understand completely."

He gives Ben's foot a nudge back, merely because he can. That and perhaps to divert the other's attention from Chase's own channel of inspiration.

Not many people know he plays the violin.

kingofgaychickn November 19 2007, 06:03:50 UTC

"Do you?" Ben asks with a smile as he leans in toward Chase, wrapping his leg around the other's with a very satisfied grin. "Do tell."

Nice try in the diverting of Ben's attention, but he saw that move before it happened and counteracted. Hi-ya!

intensivistmd November 19 2007, 06:11:51 UTC

Oh, Chase knows he's caught, and there's the faintest twinge of pink to his cheeks. "I dunno what you're talkin' 'bout," the Aussie replied stubbornly.

Taking a large gulp of his beer again, he set it down and fidgeted with it lightly, "'M a doctor, s'not like there's a whole lot of inspiration for that part, anyway."

He's still foolishly trying to avoid it, he is.

kingofgaychickn November 19 2007, 06:16:02 UTC

Ben doesn't even bother with his own beer as he pulls himself and chair with him, closer to Chase and raises his eyebrows at him.

"Exactly my point. What is it that you do that requires inspiration, huh? Inquiring minds want... no, need to know." He smirks and tilts his head to the side slightly. "You're blushing. Aw. Okay, now you've really got to tell me your dirty, little secret. I won't take no for an answer. You should know that by now."

intensivistmd November 19 2007, 06:23:07 UTC

"I am not blushing." Chase states, an air of defiance hiding in his voice. But even as the photographer moves closer and inquires farther, he lets out a sigh.

"Y'really don't have to know." He tries to reason, but decides it's probably better to give up.

"I play the violin." His parents had made him learn it. Well, before his mother drank herself to death and his father ran off, but he thought it a skill worth continuing.

kingofgaychickn November 19 2007, 14:14:29 UTC

"Really?" This makes Ben smile, wide, there's a glint in his eyes of awe. He shakes his head. "Man, I could never get that music stuff. Just looked like a bunch of weird scratches and stuff. I did play the drums once, but not an actual instrument... "

He slides his leg back from Chase's and gives him a devilish look. "You realize this means you have to play for me now, right?"

intensivistmd November 19 2007, 19:39:42 UTC

"Drums are very much actual instruments. You can't have a decent piece of music without a rhythm, you know." Chase gives a sheepish smile because, well, he keeps these little things to himself.

Giving a sigh and running a hand back through his hair, he could only roll his eyes at the man's expression. "Again, I don't have to..."

But he knew he would not be able to get out of this one, either.

And thus, he thinks up the violin, looking it over momentarily, as though he was considering it.

kingofgaychickn November 21 2007, 21:06:18 UTC

Ben smiles brightly when he sees the violin appear.

"You don't have to, no, but if you don't I might just tell JD of your special talent and he'll have you playing at his wedding." He says with a laugh, nudging him lightly. "Besides, you know you want to entertain me. It's only right."

intensivistmd November 22 2007, 02:19:26 UTC

"So, in other words, I do have to play for you." Chase laughed lightly, shaking his head. "And JD is getting married? Good to know things worked out for that kid." A smile. Chase hadn't talked to the younger doctor in a while, so it was all news to him.

Standing up from his seat, he positioned the instrument at his shoulder and chin. Lifting the bow, he looked over to the other man. "Any requests?"

kingofgaychickn November 22 2007, 04:50:54 UTC

"Yes, married to April, having a baby. The kid's growing up." Ben says with an exaggerated sniff and a wipe at his eyes.

He smiles, moving his chair so that he can watch Chase, directly.

"Nah, play whatever you want. I'm just happy to listen."

Yes, Chase looks rather sexy holding that violin.

intensivistmd November 23 2007, 23:43:19 UTC

"If I can remember anythin' anyway..." Chase chews absently on his bottom lip, trying to recall anything that might be slightly worth a listen. He knew a variety of modern pieces, but he had the feeling to play something classical.

"Lessee..." Adjusting his fingers and the bow, he began to play one part of a rather upbeat piece. It was really meant for a double violin performance, but it would just have to work.

Closing his eyes and allowing the music control him for a moment in time, he seemed to forget that Ben was even there watching.
