Fluff is good!

[ Lys has foregone the bar tonight. It doesn't feel right to be down there flirting, and she really doesn't know what to do with herself otherwise.

So she scurried off to Owen's apartment, and is curled on the couch with her ipod and a book, just reading. At one point, she starts to drift off, but she wants to stay awake to see Owen when he's done with work.

It doesn't work, and eventually she falls asleep, book open across her chest. ]

[Oh, he noticed she was gone. Part of him was grateful. Less likely she'd hookup with someone again. Because that was just dangerous for her. That's all.]

[After Last Call winds down, and the cleanup finishes, he saunters his way back upstairs, and ends up digging in the fridge for a very late dinner. He's trying to be quiet though.]

[ She's kind of past the point of wanting to hook up with anyone, really. Anyone who wasn't him.

The noise is enough to make her stir a little, which is enough to knock the book onto the floor. That's what really wakes her. ]

Mmf. Owen?

[Instead of a hand poking out of the kitchen doorway, it's half a grilled cheese sandwich. In a hand.]

Aloha.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

[ She looks down at her ipod. Wow, she was asleep for longer than she thought. She gets up and wanders over to the kitchen ]

Is that supposed to be dinner?

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

[He looks down at the sandwich. And then back up at her.]

Since Dominoes closed a couple hours ago, yeeep.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

Do you have enough for another?

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

Probably. Gotta eat this bread sometime.

[He shrugs, and pushes the plate at her.]

Some kiwi in the fridge too.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

Kiwi and grilled cheese.

... Well, why not?

[ MAKIN' DINNER 8D she is a pro at grilled cheese sandwiches ]

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

Dinner of champions. Second only to the cheerios with banana.

[And he will just go and cut up some kiwi fruit!]

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

Pfft, nah. Put banana in Rice Krispies.

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

No, you put marshmallows in Rice Krispies.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

What are you, eight?

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

... Maaaaaaaaaaybe.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

[ that gets a laugh out of her, and she smiles ]

Thanks, by the way.

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

For what? The kiwis?

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

For everything.

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

...

[He shrugs.]

No problem. Don't mention it.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

I mean it. I don't know where I'd be without you.

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

I'm here now, so... why bother thinking about that kinda thing?

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

... I don't know. I just... do, I guess.

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

[He reaches over... and pops a piece of kiwi in her mouth.]

Cut it out.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

[ for a second she goes very still, unsure of what he's going to do.

She makes a face, sticking out her tongue once she's eaten the kiwi ]

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

[He just laughs.]

Your sandwich is burning.

[youotterknow.livejournal.com]

Shit!

[ noooo, save the sandwich! ]

[nalo-ahi.livejournal.com]

[Excuse him while he just leans against the counter, and grins.]
