Room 213 - NFB [evening]

Aug 24, 2006 14:28

Rory was really, really, really warm.

And even if she hadn't escaped the threat of running back to the dorms naked, she was seriously tempted to just strip down. As it was, she had spent the afternoon in as few clothes as possible with a fan on her as she lounged on the bed, reading ( Read more... )

Anakin'd had a long day.

He let himself into the room, walked over to where Rory was sitting and wrapped her in a tight hug.

"...hi," Rory said to Anakin's neck, carefully wrapping her arms around him. "What's wrong?"

emo_padawan August 24 2006, 18:40:14 UTC

"Aeryn's in the clinic," Anakin said quietly, still holding on.

auroryborealis August 24 2006, 18:41:52 UTC

"What happened?" Rory asked, her voice going tight. "Is she okay?"

Anakin shook his head. "I'm fine," he said.

Temperature-wise, anyway. He was far from being actually fine.

"You don't want water or anything?" Rory asked worriedly, running her hand over his hair.

emo_padawan August 24 2006, 19:57:49 UTC

Anakin sighed. "Water sounds good," he said finally.

Rory went over to the fridge and fetched him a bottle of water. "What else can I do?" she asked, handing it to him and giving him a kiss.

Anakin leaned down and kissed the bruise. "It's been a long day," he repeated.

"Seriously, what do you need me to do?" Rory asked, biting her lip. "I work well with direction."

emo_padawan August 24 2006, 22:17:23 UTC

Anakin moved so that his head rested in Rory's lap. "Tell me another story," he said, closing his eyes.

"Once upon a time," she began softly, stroking his hair, "in a distant land called...Fandomtopia, there was a little peasant girl who lived alone with her stepfather because her mother was a very busy woman and went on a lot of business trips."

"Well, he kind of deserved then, huh?" Anakin said. "Not the servants, though."

"Maybe," Rory said, starting to rub his back. "Anyway, the only way to break the spell would be if he could learn to love and be loved in a certain amount of time. And see, it was complicated because part of his order of knights was that he wasn't allowed to love. So the girl didn't really care because she was still mad he was making her stay. The girl grew, over time, to really like the castle, though. She made friends with the coffeemaker and espresso machine, named Alex and Jake, and she'd have long talks with the television. Its name was Hamlet and it was very serious. She really preferred talking to all of them over the Ewok-dog man. She was stubborn that way."

"Well, he wasn't exactly being Mr. Personality," Anakin said. "He's kind of stupid."

auroryborealis August 24 2006, 23:55:10 UTC

"So the girl was kind of an idiot and tried to leave the castle, and she was shouting this sad speech over her shoulder at him, and a bunch of teal dear attacked her," Rory continued seriously.

Anakin paused. "I don't think so," he said. "We'd had a lot to drink."

auroryborealis August 25 2006, 00:55:22 UTC

Rory looked very, very sad.

emo_padawan August 25 2006, 00:57:21 UTC

"I'm sorry," Anakin said.

He wasn't entirely sure what he was sorry for, but it seemed like the thing to say.

auroryborealis August 25 2006, 01:03:00 UTC

Rory sighed. "You're forgiven. Maybe Jaye has pictures."
