Vaughan bolted upright on the couch, staring around the common room with wide, frantic eyes and hair standing on end. Stumbling quickly to the mantle of the fireplace, he resisted the urge to throw the alarm clock which had awaken him across the room (wouldn't do, as it was on loan), and also managed not to cry, though it was a close thing. Good Godric, it was early. Look at the windows, it was still dark outside. Oh wait, that was the point ( ... )

Deirdre gasped when she felt something drop onto her shoulders, but she quickly realised it was a blanket. She turned to look up, but Vaughan was already seating himself beside her. She beamed at him widely, snuggling into the blanket he'd tossed onto her shoulders, "Oh, good! You made it, and in plenty of time! Good morning!"

She turned to the basket and set about pulling out some mugs and things, swiftly pouring him a cup of coffee from the thermos. "Here you go! I'm sure that'll help, yes?" she beamed at him, holding the steaming mug out to him and trying very hard not to bounce with excitement. She was just so happy he'd actually not slept through it!

She wouldn't really have blamed him if he had; she'd had plenty of experience with Vaughan in the morning, and if his behaviour in Transfigs was any indication, she had been quite afraid he would not be able to make it this morning. It meant quite a bit to her that he had managed it. She just hoped he'd not regret it later. In an effort to ensure that he'd enjoy himself, she was ( ... )

Vaughan wondered vaguely exactly how much time he HAD made it in. It was entirely possible that Deirdre had gotten them out here with an hour to spare or sommat, not wanting him to miss anything. Not that it mattered, of course. Really he was doing this more for her than to see the sunrise, and so whatever she said went without question. It wasn't so bad, now! Though he remembered belatedly what he'd forgotten: pillows. Oh well ( ... )

Deirdre beamed at him happily, patiently waiting for him to wake up. She was glad she'd decided to get him out early, otherwise he might not be awake enough to even see the sunrise, which was entirely the point! He obviously needed a bit of time to wake up enough to appreciate it, so she felt a bit better about her decision ( ... )

"Thanks, Deir," Vaughan said gratefully as she put the food away, and settled into his blanket. He looked over to see his friend thoroughly enjoying her coffee without even tasting it, and grinned. "Smells good, yeh?" his voice was beginning to sound a bit more normal, and he followed her lead, holding the coffee under his nose to smell it, closing his eyes to better focus on the fragrant warmth wafting toward him ( ... )

Oh, yes, Deirdre knew that particular Look of Vaughan Kendall's all too well. In response, she simply grinned at him brightly, then continued to giggle. She kept leaning against him, her nose wrinkled and unable to stop laughing, even if she'd wanted to. Which, she decided, she did not. Silly, perhaps, but she was having fun.

She continued to lean against him, because they were obviously in the midst of a battle of who could lean longest or... something. She wasn't really sure, but it didn't matter, really, because it was an excuse to get closer, which meant warmer. It was also just plain fun to play along with him at just about anything. She pretended to put on a ponderous face, "Well... it shouldn't be too terribly long now. Like I said in the owl, the sun should rise sometime around 6:45." She beamed brightly, "Which is probably only thirty more minutes away," she paused, then added as an after thought, "Or probably less." She managed to blush only slightly at that one ( ... )

vaughanboy March 3 2007, 06:35:01 UTC

Her giggles were contagious, and Vaughan found himself laughing softly with Deirdre, though it sounded a bit creaky. It was probably the first time he'd laughed so early in the morning since...uhm. A long time ago ( ... )

deirdiary March 3 2007, 06:59:34 UTC

Deirdre's smile grew wider when she heard Vaughan laughing with her, creaky sounding or not. It made her feel she was doing rather well to hear him laughing, and so early in the morning! She must have been learning something over all these years about waking up Vaughan Kendall, after all.

When he grunted and shifted, she was worried that he wanted her to move and so she hesitated, biting her lip. She wondered if she ought to move away a bit or not, but she was rather comfortable against him and it was decidedly warmer leaning against him than not. However, he'd not actually made her move away, so she decided to settle against him anyway. She wasn't sure he'd stay awake if she didn't, anyway. Or at least, that's what she told herself. She laughed at his comment about her owl, somehow knowing that he was joking. It seemed that perhaps she was learning to pick up on his teasing, at least some of the time ( ... )

vaughanboy March 3 2007, 23:44:34 UTC

Aha. Things we have learned this morning, Vaughan thought: sleepy blinking is NOT like eyelash batting for boys and yes, Deirdre IS buying it. Perhaps a little too much. Well, the day was off to educational start, if nothing else. He repressed a sigh, but let out a soft noise of protest as she sat up and away from him, taking her body warmth with her.

A slow grin started to make its way lazily across his face when she began listing the things that were in it for him, not noticing there was any trouble till she claimed defeat and frowned. He tilted his head and tried to catch her eye, but before he could smile she was looking down, and quite miserable. Doh. For a moment there was silence, as Vaughan tried to think of what on Earth he was suppose to do now. He'd been perfectly content a moment ago, and teasing was what had brought them here, but he'd learned with Deirdre that it was better to help her catch on than be blunt and point out she'd not gotten it ( ... )

"Oh," Deirdre blinked, "Well, I suppose that, too," she agreed quietly, not really sure that she actually did agree that her company was a benefit or not. She did, however, feel a blush creeping into her cheeks. Definitely not helpful, that. She was so busy trying to stop the blushing that she barely noticed when he moved the basket into their laps.

However, as he started to riffle through the food, she slowly realised that he was likely to make a mess of it. She frowned, "Oh, stop! Here," she reached in and tried to get him to quit moving it every which direction. "What would you like first, then?" She quickly forgot her embarrassment, as the need to serve and keep the basket in proper order filled her mind.

"It looks like we've strudel... some bagels, sausage, muffins... probably in every flavour possible... toast, scones... Well, everything, really. What sounds good?" she gave up listing everything, instead marveling at how the elves had managed to cram so much food into one basket. She shook her head and pulled out some large ( ... )

vaughanboy March 10 2007, 04:17:29 UTC

"Yes," Vaughan said firmly, not looking at her "there is that, for sure." He was sure she was blushing and was just as sure that if he looked up he would blush as well and that was a vicious cycle he was not willing to be part of. He grinned at her, he hoped cutely, but she didn't look up ( ... )

deirdiary March 10 2007, 04:42:49 UTC

Deirdre swatted at his hands as he kept up with the disorderliness, though it was really far too gentle to be that discouraging. The fact that she was giggling as she fought wth him was probably also a sign that she wasn't really all that upset. Although, she was worried about things getting too messy; she'd feel awful if the blueberry muffins got smothered with sausage and bacon and ceased to taste of blueberries ( ... )

vaughanboy March 10 2007, 05:22:10 UTC

Vaughan didn't notice Deirdre's sigh; he was too busy trying to make up for being silly. He wasn't analyzing every little thing that happened, both because he assumed everything was fine and also because though he was awake it was still early and he wasn't at his most perceptive ( ... )

deirdiary March 10 2007, 05:36:57 UTC

Deirdre smiled at him expectantly, but when he answered with the nickname, she was soon blushing brightly. She quickly dropped her head to hide it, but there was also a rather large grin on her face, and she knew it was impossible to hide. He was clearly embarrassed, she could see that, but she found that she rather liked hearing him say it out loud. She'd thought it was quite wonderful in his letters, but it was even better when he said it, she suddenly decided.

She glanced up when she felt him move closer, trying desperately to force away the blush and not grin quiet so widely. However, when he leaned back and raised his eyebrows, the blush slowly crept back as the unspoken offer finally dawned her. She hesitated for a few seconds, then threw caution to the wind and leaned against him once more, just as she had been previously ( ... )

vaughanboy March 10 2007, 16:05:13 UTC

Vaughan frowned when Deirdre hesitated, immediately drawing the conclusion that she either did not want to share her body warmth or else she wasn't sure what he was asking. He was just trying to figure out what to do next when she finally leaned in, and he let out a soft sigh and relaxed.

Vaughan made sure all the blankets were tucked in closely around her and felt decidedly happier. It was much warmer this way, really. Brilliant idea. Resisting the urge to close his eyes (as he didn't want to tempt sleep), Vaughan then occupied himself with squinting into the distance, trying to figure out if it was getting lighter yet or not.

"Hmmm?" he was actually a bit startled when Deirdre suddenly spoke, and he missed her first question. "What? No, Deir, I'm fine." A small note of concern crept into his voice. "You alright?" he asked, but he was grinning down at her; considering the time this was actually wonderful. Pleasant and warm and not too bouncy or anything ( ... )

deirdiary March 10 2007, 16:21:04 UTC

Deirdre beamed up at him, pleased by just about everything. Things were turning out just perfect, after all, it seemed. "Mmmhmmm, I'm very good," she bent her head back down and snuggled against him for a split second, grinning to herself. From the smile on his face, she determined that he didn't mind being so close, either, and that made her quite happy.

When he spoke again, she turned her head and looked in the direction he meant. She was silent for a moment as she studied the sky, "Hmm, I think so, yes. Shouldn't be much longer at all!" her smile widened as she anticipated the sunrise. She did hope the sun would give a good show this morning! This was an especially important time for it, so far as Deirdre was concerned ( ... )
