Over My Head
If someone were to ask Dinadan Palmer what his favorite part of the week was, he’d tell them Friday afternoon; specifically late Friday afternoon when the school week is over and he’s finished his weapons’ training for the day, and the weekend stretches out glorious and free ahead of him. It’s exactly that time now, and he feels at ease with his world.

He weaves a little as he walks to his bedroom, since he hasn’t quite mastered the art of walking and towel-drying his hair at the same time, but he doesn’t knock into anything or trip over his own feet (today), so it doesn’t really matter. He reaches his bedroom and tosses the towel into his laundry hamper, flicking on the radio for some music while he gets dressed and makes plans for his freedom.

This is ultimately why Dinadan is playing air-guitar in his underwear when Henry puts his plan into action.

Petra laughs a little sheepishly, not being able to even come up with a teasing comment for his reaction.

"I'm not one of those really passenger-friendly fliers. I can ice-slide when I need maneuverability, but really flying... I just kind of cannonball, faster than tends to be comfortable for anyone I'm carrying. Plus, I cover the most ground by making..." She thinks.

"Sub... Ah. Sub-orbital parabolic maneuvers. That's what they're called. Fast up, fast down, saves the most time, and cold doesn't bother me."

	"Ohh," Dinadan says. "Well, I guess I'd better wait for your call. I'm really not good at cold." The Amazon rain forest really doesn't do cold, and Dinadan tends to break out the winter clothes early in Ivy Town and put them away late. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra smirks and leans over a little, arms coming in together around her chest a bit. "If you insist.. I was pretty sure I could keep you warm." She gives him a peck on the cheek as she starts tensing the little synapse in the back of her mind that launches her into the air. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pockets pockets pockets pockets... He steps back to give her room to launch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra blows him a kiss, an ice-formed pair of lips appearing momentarily in mid-air, before falling to the ground. She'd taken off before they shattered. Not too long later, she calls the phone number he'd indicated. "Hey you, come on over. Just wait for me in the living room, and I'll join you after I slip into something more comfortable."

By the time she calls, he's changed into something a bit more comfortable too, as getting involved in any couch-capades with Petra while still wearing his nice clothes sounds like a recipe for disaster. They're still reasonably nice clothes, just more comfy.

Yes, his sweater does have elbow patches.

By the time he pops out of her telephone, Petra's already left the room. He delicately hangs the phone up and sits on the couch, fidgeting and hoping that 'more comfortable' really means more comfortable.

	Petra's in a sweater herself, pink wool, and a bit more snug than Din's, along with a matching pair of pajama pants. She sashays back from her bedroom, leaning on the doorframe and grinning at him. "Hey there cutie." She grins, licking her lips slowly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi," he says, feeling the blush creeping back up his neck again at her stare. At least she really did mean "more comfortable". And he knows for a fact that her father isn't likely to walk in on them and do something horrible to him. "Nice place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I get by. Daddy wanted to get me something nicer, but I wanted the real 'first apartment' experience. Well, a little nicer than that, but not plush."

She saunters over and joins him on the couch, leaning in and giving him just a simple kiss on the cheek, then resting her head on his shoulder.

"So... you're awfully sweet. I'd like to do this again sometime."

Dinadan sits up straighter to make her putting her head on his shoulder easier, even as he blinks in confusion. That...sounds like an end-of-date conversation starter. But he'd just gotten here, if she'd wanted to end the date, why bother having him come over and sit awkwardly on her couch and...

It occurs to him that he ought to respond favorably instead of sitting there in confused silence. "I would too. You're a really interesting girl, and I had fun tonight."

Petra spots the confusion on his face and chuckles, nuzzling along his neck as she pulls her legs up on the couch, leaning into him more.

"I can guess how that sounded. I was just trying to relax you. You're a sweetheart, and definitely getting a second date, Din."

She kisses his neck softly. "Although honestly, I'm still kind of curious about what's left of this one."

"Oh good, I'm glad. Because I had fun too."

Dinadan relaxes a little. Sort of. Well, it's less 'relaxing' and more like 'oh hey, neck. Girl. Neck. Yes,' and fidgeting in such a manner as to give her more access to that particular body part. He also pulls his arm out from between them and carefully puts it around her shoulders, something he's aware is only possible because she's hunkered down so that she can do -- whoa! -- things like that.

"M-Me too."

	Petra notices that her companion seems to be straining his neck to accommodate her and giggles. "Here, let's try it this way.." She sits up, then actually has him sit across her lap. This puts them at about eye level with one another, and lets her drape her arms around his waist, not being terribly shy about his ass. "Better?" She gives him a kiss on the mouth.

And there's another wave of blushing. At least with all the blood in his body located in his face, he won't have to worry about any other embarrassing reactions.

"Uh-huh," he says, kissing back. Being in a hot girl's lap is hardly a bad position to be in, even if it is kind of...damsel-y. But it's not like anyone but Petra's there to see it and tease him about it, so he should be okay...

He probably shouldn't be thinking this much while making out.

Don't worry Din, Petra will do enough not-thinking for the both of you for the next hour or so.

~~

One hour, one lost shirt, and a gradual move to a more horizontal occupation of the couch, and they're comfortably curled up together. Petra's got her head resting rather comfortably on Din's shoulder, stroking his chest.

"Mmm..." She stretches out. "Not a bad evening at all. Wouldn't you say?" She kisses his chest.

"Definitely not," Dinadan says, a little breathlessly. He is never, ever going to stop blushing, but he's kind of okay with that. Petra is warm and smells nice and apparently likes him enough to not be disappointed about not getting all the way to 'lucky', which is really lucky on his part. He just hopes that she won't get bored with him. And that her dad won't disapprove of him. And that...

...You know what? He's just going to snuggle with her and not think more. It seems to have served him well this past hour.

	"Suppose I'm a bad hostess. Didn't even give you the grand tour when you got here." She drags a nail gently over his skin, drawing little swirls over his chest, shifting her head enough to pepper kisses along his collarbone and neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonoftheatom 2010-04-09 06:18 am UTC (link)
	"Nnnno, you're not a bad hostess," Dinadan squeaks, wriggling a little under her fingernail and lips. Nff. Also: glurble. "I mean, uh, there was...conversaTION and, uh, stuff." Not his most eloquent speech ever, but he's lying on a couch with a hot girl touching him. He figures that he gets points for not having been reduced to pointing and grunting.

	gal_gardner 2010-04-09 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	She grins. "Yeah, there was definitely 'stuff'." She untangles herself and tugs him up from the couch. "At least let me show you the view. Come on, walk around a bit. It'll get some of the blood back to your brain and legs." She winks at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan lets her drag him to his feet and glances around to see if he can spot where his shirt and sweater have disappeared to. Not that he needs them right now, but if he needs to grab them in a hurry for some reason... He blushes again when she teases him about blood flow, and does a quick pants check, just in case.

Petra actually spots the clothes and steals them away with a smirk. She tosses them over a shoulder and moves out to the balcony, beckoning him to follow.

It's not exactly a picturesque view looking downwards, but she's got the sky, with nothing immediately blocking her view. She rests her arms on the rail and enjoys the updraft.

"Not exactly on Central Park, but not bad."

Dinadan chases after his shirt anyway and slips it on over his shoulders. It's still cold enough outside to make wandering around topless uncomfortable for him.

He follows her out onto the balcony and, after a brief check where he concludes that he could probably shrink down enough to make the fall survivable if he accidentally went over the rail, he follows her gaze up to the night sky.

Well, sort of. Light pollution makes it hard to see the stars.

"Definitely not bad," he agrees.

After a minute or two of that, she tugs him back inside. The living room had already been covered, so they make a quick pass by the kitchen, then to her bedroom.

It's surprisingly neat, done up mostly in black, red, and posters. A king-size bed dominates much of the space.

"Got another room like this, just a lot emptier. Still looking for a roommate."

She pauses, grinning as she approaches him, looping her arms around his waist. "You want it? I promise not to make you pay the rent with your body." She giggles.

	At least the offer to move in with her distracted his brain from obsessing over the fact that he was in the bedroom of a girl who wasn't Allanah. "We haven't even known each other for twenty-four hours yet!" he squeaked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gal_gardner 2010-04-15 01:05 am UTC (link)
	She shrugs. "You seem nice, and you like to bake I hear. No apparent hygiene problems, so you probably keep a clean bedroom too. I've taken bigger gambles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
