Gray slapped himself in the forehead "Snap-dragons. I get it now." He let his head rest in his palm, knowing that the bout of nervous laughter that was welling up in his chest would only make everything worse.

"I am really sorry," He offered pitifully from behind his hand. Glancing up, he noticed Hunter's dad and paled a little.

"...Is that your dad? Do you think I should start running now?" He asked her under his breath.

"Only if you're afraid of Just For Men dye," Hunter murmured back, smirking a little. There was, in her opinion, nothing threatening about her father. He was a pompous hack. Of course, not that she had really told Gray this. Perhaps it would have been wiser to inform him on what he'd be walking into before he got here.

But where was the fun in that?

Taking advantage of her family's preoccupation with Elizabeth's injury, Hunter turned a bit to face him better. "Ya still up for that quickie? I'm in a way better mood now," she grinned, keeping her voice down.

Gray watched Hunter's family dote over her little sister. He was starting to get why she hated her sister as much as she did. Though it was hard for him to relate to. Being the youngest of three siblings; he was the baby, he was the spoiled one.

Though Hunter's point of conversation suddenly made family the last thing on his mind. He glanced over at her, almost startled. "Really? Now? ...You are messed up." He smirked slowly. "That's so hot."

"Would I be with your ass if I wasn't just a little bit messed up?" Hunter replied, smirking right back at him. "We got like half an hour till dinner, sounds like time to kill to me," she added, moving past him and heading for the stairs again.

She was amused, but watching her family for too long was never something she indulged in. Just seeming the three of them huddled together like that always left her feeling empty, like an outsider staring in at the family of somebody else. It was moments like those that always made her miss Ben more than ever; if he had been there, things would be different. Or so she hoped.

"...Yes?" Gray said, despite knowing that she'd meant the answer to be rhetorical. He nearly raced after her, but he did his best no to look too eager-- for the sake of not raising suspicion and to keep his cool around Hunter.

"Half an hour sounds like plen--sounds kinda short, doesn't it?" He questioned, following her up the stairs. Very smooth, Gray.

Hunter laughed a little, glancing back at him as they made their way upstairs. "Ain't that why it's called a quickie?"

When they reached the top, this time without any interruptions, Hunter led the way to her bedroom. She cracked the door open, peering inside briefly as if expecting something to jump out, before heading inside. She held the door for Gray, closing it once he was in.

It looked a lot less lived in than her room at school, but the mess was generally the same. There were still bits and pieces that showed definite signs of Hunter, but they were few. Dirty clothes were kicked into a pile by the end of her bed, and sprawled out in the pile of filthy laundry was a large german shepherd.

"Someone my dad invited down there is allergic, they got her locked up here all day," the blonde said sympathetically, crouching down a bit as the dog hopped up and made her way over to meet her. "Only difference between me and her is that I have to come down and eat at the table, right Bella?"

"I didn't know you had a dog..." Gray said, still standing near the door. Maybe she told him, but he didn't really remember... or really care. Sorry Bella. He'd never really owned a dog, so once again-- he didn't get it.

He made a weird face, "Babe... You don't really want to have sex in front of the dog, do you?"

"Had a dog forever," Hunter replied without looking back at him, seeming more focused on scruffing up the dog's head, scratching her ears and all the like. When he asked about the sex, she did glance back at him momentarily, making a face right back.

"Uh, why not? She'll just go sleep on the floor. It's just a dog."

"Won't she think like, that I'm hurting you? I had a dog try to bite me for just kissing a girl once-- like it thought I was trying to eat her face off." Gray frowned down at the German shepherd.

"No way, I can't do it. It's too weird." This coming from the guy who could have sex with other people in the room.

Hunter's expression was purely deadpan. "What d'you mean you can't do it?! You're bein' retarded! It's just a dog!"

She had almost said stupid dog; she might even had, if it were any dog by Bella. They went pretty far back, after all, and building an affinity with an animal like that was almost unavoidable. At least in Hunter's opinion.

"You're weird," she added with some finality, scowling at him.

"What?" Gray snapped back, just a tad defensive. "You're the one who wants to have sex in front of a fucking dog-- that's like... bestiality or something."
