Takes place after this:
http://movetheearth.livejournal.com/6561.html Martini: *Knew Ric didn't despise him as much as he pretended.*
Ric: *Is saying nothing.*
Martini: *Just going to be over here in the corner with a smug grin on his face.*
Ric: *Mouths* Fuck off looking so smug. *Smiles sweetly*
Martini: *Grins while flipping him off.*
Ric: I'll take the watch back
Martini: *O.o* No!!! I take it back!
Ric: Much better!
Martini: *Starts playing around with the watch, said unknowingly.* I love it.
Ric: *Was watching TV but is now staring at Martini with an odd mildly panicked look*
Martini: *Completely oblivious, looks up.* What?
Ric: Did you just say something?
Martini: *Looks puzzled.* Did I?
Ric: Yes you did. You used the L word *Curious if Martini really is oblivious to what he said*
Martini: I did? *Looks somewhere between puzzled and worried.*
Ric: ... forget it. I probably misheard you anyway *looking back at the TV now and avoiding eye contact*
Martini: *Goes back to fiddling around with the watch.*
Ric: *Watches TV in silence for a bit* ..... *still staring at the TV when he speaks* You actually love it?
Martini: *Again unknowingly.* Uh-huh.
Ric: *grins* What else do you love?
Martini: *Finally snaps his head up.* Now, why would I tell you that?
Ric: *Staring at the TV screen, though clearly isn't paying attention* I was curious to see if you'd admit you love Stryker...
Martini: *Snorts.* Out of everyone in this camp, he is far down on the list of people who I'd be attracted to. Heck, he ain't even on the list.
Ric: You have a list? *Now he's paying attention!*
Martini: Maaaybe.
Ric: Oh seriously you can't leave a guy hanging. Who's on your list? Who is bottom and who is top?
Martini: You first. *Hears the last part.* Well, I prefer top mostly.
Ric: Hang on why me first?! I asked you first! *raises an eyebrow* Oh really? I took you for a bottom kinda guy *grins*
Martini: Because all that will do is give you ammunition! *Smirks.* You thought wrong, vato.
Ric: We'll take it in turns alright? My person right at the bottom of the list has to be.... well Stryker doesn't even make it.... Fred. You Loco?
Martini: Hmm, probably the same. Poor fellah, he gets no love.
Ric: Yeah well it can't be helped, I don't do the doughnut boy as a rule. Okay my top three then... in third place has to be for guys Wade and for girls would be Dom. You?
Martini: Guys would be Scion, girls lessee... probably Ophelia.
Ric: Second place for girls would be Ophelia obvious but then I got to say that there are quite a few attractive women in camp now
Martini: Yep. That one that just showed up, Des, is quite a looker.
Ric: For guys... well see if I could genuinely have Victor he'd be first place but I know it would never happen even if I had one wish granted so he has to go to second place
Martini: *Shakes his head.* You've got a death wish coming there. He'd kill you good, or at the very least rip your balls off.
Ric: I know but it would be the best 30 seconds ever. So who is your number two?
Martini: 30 seconds huh? That's all you last? Hmm...Wade or John maybe. Zero if he wasn't such a goddamn prick.
Ric: Funny. Real funny asshole. *rolls eyes* Really? Actually I see your point... Wade I can understand as long as he was gagged and all sharp things out of reach. John I bet would want something romantic and Zero would just be in control. He wouldn't want a messy bed *grins* So number one then?
Martini: I try. *Fiddles around with his watches.* For girls, it'd be Yuriko. God, those eyes. They could hypnotize a guy.
Ric: Emma, not a doubt for me. And let me guess your guy would be that new silent broody type X-13 huh? *Slight tone of annoyance at the thought*
Martini: I already put him as my number three, pay attention Ric! He's a bit too frozen for my number one pick. What about you? *Seems more interested now.*
Ric: What, he has a real name? What the hell is a name like Scion? Sounds like a type of razor! *Back-tracking a little now* Well, I mean my number one could change each day really depending on who is in camp and my mood and the weather... really.... ummm
Martini: I thought it was a car, truth be told. *Raises his left eyebrow.* So, who is it today?
Ric: *Mutters something whilst looking the other way*
Martini: What was that? *Is genuinely curious.*
Ric: .......Well.... you....
Martini: *This possibly the first time he's been surprised in a very long time.* You're shittin' me. Really?
Ric: No, I thought I'd lie for the sheer hell of it! *Glare* Like I'm going to say something like that just for kicks
Martini: I...I didn't mean it like that. *Softly.* I'm not the type of guy anyone ever says that about.
Ric: *Awkward silence* Yeah well just don't go telling Victor he got bumped down the list by you
Martini: *Grins.* I won't. Y'know, I never told you my top pick.
Ric: Go on then... though I reckon it'll be Bradley because obviously you'd go for someone peculiar to match you.
Martini: Well, I was going to say it was you, but now I've changed my mind!
Ric: Hah you're just trying to get a response out of me! I was right it was Bradley huh.
Martini: I am being serious! *Evil eye.* Fine, believe what you want!
Ric: Really? *Impressed with himself and preening his ego now* So what is it that you like then huh?
Martini: Yeah. *Wonders if this was a good idea.* Well...you may annoy me and drive me crazier than I already am, but you also make me feel better whenever I'm feeling low. And I don't see Them around you. I look at you, and I feel...I feel like I'm okay for once.
Ric: *Ponders over what he has just been told. Unlike Martini he is unphased by these kind of confessions. If anything he kind of enjoys them* Could be because really I am one of them... *Laughs a little* Ditto, Loco, apart from the Things thing
Martini: So you're my own personal Snuffleupagus, huh? *Likes that idea.* Ditto? You sound like Patrick Swayze in Ghost.
Ric: You ever call me that again and I'll Snuffleupagus you for real alright? *Doesn't want to admit he has watched Ghost* Yeah, but I'm probably more attractive right?
Martini: Hey, don't knock Snuffy. He was my favorite character. Well...*Pretends to think about it.* Just barely.
Ric: Barely? What do you mean barely!? *Huffs* I was always a fan of Ernie and Bernie. I got to say I kinda thought the Cookie Monster rocked as well
Martini: Aw, don't be like that. *Moves closer to Ric.* Patrick Swayze was hot back in the day. Plus, dude could dance and throw a punch without seeming fruity. How often does that happen?
Ric: *Glances at Martini and grins* You reckon? I mean that maybe Patrick was hot and therefore I'm kinda hot.... hang on I've thrown a fair few punches at you and I... well okay so I can't dance but one out of two ain't bad
Martini: *Smiles.* Neither can I. *Leans closer to Ric.* But I prefer a guy who can fight rather than do a West Side Story routine.
Ric: Oh? *Smiles and leans in closer* You know what I prefer in a guy?
Martini: *They're very close now. He likes this.* What? Although my first guess would be insanity, since you seem to like me plenty.
Ric: Someone who knows when to shut up. *He leans in closing the gap and kissing Martini, he isn't bothered if he pulls away as he isn't sure if this is too much.*
Martini: *It isn't, although once again Ric has managed to surprise him. He leans into the kiss, running a hand through Ric's hair.*
Ric: *Pulls Martini closer using the material on his army issue shirt to do so and smiles a little as he kisses him.*
Martini: *He shuts his eyes as Ric kissed him again, keeping one hand on the back of Ric's head as he felt their lips touch again.*
Ric: *Pulls away after a few moments. Kinda has a lopsided smile on his face but still is holding Martini close which is helped by the hand tangled in his hair* So you do shut up sometimes huh?
