Her feet moved to the music filtering through the compound from the jukebox. She turned, her skirt billowing out and ringing with the sound of the tiny bells she had sewn on to it. Moving her hips she raised her hands in the air as the twins chirped happily at the sight of their mother dancing and smiling in front of them. Clapping her hands she

Comments

Stephen sat as far away from the chaos as he could get while still being near enough to the food to eat like a starving man. The only reason he didn't comment on the Obviously Not English song was because he didn't want to call attention to himself.

Since he usually lived for attention, this was still an odd thing. But Del's craziness overrode the need for validation, some days.

"Stephen!" Delirium said spotting Stephen and moved across the kitchen. Smiling happily she climbed onto his lap, pushing and pinching and elbowing him as she made herself comfortable. Patting his hair and snuggling his chest, Delirium was being more affectionate of Stephen than she normally did. However she was only being more affectionate because she planned to get him out of his clothes and then bedazzle them. "Hi Stephen. Favourite Stephen. Precious Stephen. Can I take your jacket?"

[colbert_bump]

Well, that plan sure went to Hell fast. It always did around her, not that that kept Stephen from trying.

"What? No! No you can not take my jacket!" It was difficult, but he managed to close said jacket more tightly around himself as if it would protect both him and it. "I need it!"

[endlessdel]

"I'll bring it back," Delirium said smiling sweetly as she played with his tie. Delirium was in a fantastic mood and even Stephen's high pitched squeak of indignation could bring her down. "It's hot, you don't need it if it's hot."

[colbert_bump]

"Ah, that's where you're wrong. I do need it when it's hot. Especially when it's hot."

Because that made sense.

[endlessdel]

"I suppose I could do it to you whilst your wearing it. It might hurt though," Del said smiling as she slid her hand down the lapel of his jacket and tugged. "And I don't think you'd want me doing it in the public. It's a very intimate thing."

[colbert_bump]

Okay, so now Stephen was starting to get a little worried.

"Just what are you planning to do?!" he asked, pushing at her hand.

[endlessdel]

"I'm going to bedazzle it so it has red and white and blue all over like the flag!" Delirium said brightly, grinning at him as he looked at her all Stephen like. Stephen was so easy to drive insane and so fun too.

[colbert_bump]

Stephen stared. That was...actually less horrifying than he was imagining, but it was still pretty stupid sounding.

"Why? And why this suit?! This is one of my best ones!"

[endlessdel]

"Exactly it will show off your handsome body and American pride all in one," Delirium said as she began to unbutton his jacket and slip her hands inside. Stephen had a nice warm body and at least he was not sleeping with a bald man. That would make her sad... wait. "You're not sleeping with the Baldman are you?"

[colbert_bump]

"Well, I--" Stephen stopped and gave her a puzzled look. "I am married! And straight! And I don't know who you're even talking about!"

Which wasn't exactly a new thing.

[endlessdel]

"Baldman... Vecchio, my arch nemesis." Delirium said, snuggling Stephen and hugging him tightly. Maybe she should start being nicer to him if Asher was going to have sex with Baldman. "I don't like him, he makes me sad and when I'm sad... I like to have fun. So, you should make me happy or else I'll have fun with you."

[colbert_bump]

That name sounded familiar... Oh, right. The cop.

"He's kind of annoying," Stephen commented, but it came out a little strained because of her ridiculously tight grip around him. "And of course I'm not sleeping with him!"

There. That should apparently make her happy.

[endlessdel]

"Oh, oh Stephen you are the bestest. You always know how to make me happy happy happy," Delirium said sighing happily as she curled her fingers in his shirt. "He's very annoying. He's always threatening to arrest me. And he's a liberal... or Canadian. Or both. You should put him on a list. A naughty list."

[colbert_bump]

How he always made her happy, Stephen had no idea, but this was one area he actually didn't feel like arguing about.

"A liberal??" he repeated, surprised even though he probably shouldn't have been. Of course everyone around was a liberal. But a cop? That didn't make any sense; if there were liberal cops, who did all the tasering?

[endlessdel]

"Yes, he pretends he's not but he is. He has secret liberal meetings and they plot to take over the island with their gun control and their other things you don't like... bears." Delirium said rambling away as she undid a shirt button.
