Thursday Doesn't Even Start.
No work today. Zoe was busy, and no one worth hitting was out in the Triangle.

After a while of staring in the mirror and seeing Joey written across it, he knew he had to get out somewhere. And not to the Outsiders. Not unless he wanted to end up pleading about how he could make such a hot chick and not be of interest once he turned out to be a boy -- they were the same lips and same legs either way. And that would be humiliating for all parties.

So he'd made a day trip, to Coast City. Uncle Jed had done a little work there once. Said it was an interesting place to visit.

	"I grew up with them. My dad was in the Justice League." He's very proud of himself for not letting his voice crack at mentioning that. His dad was part of the league but isn't now because he's dead. At least in his time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Completely out of nowhere, for GK at least, Eli bursts out laughing. He manages to stop after about a minute to say, "No! My dad's Zauriel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, the angelly guy. I think I saw him in the papers once. Cool. Really cool. My mom's... a writer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Social history stuff. America in the '50s, History of Sitcoms. Her latest one's called Screwing Between Chapters: Sex and the Early Twentieth Century Novel. All kinds of stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He giggles. "My mom did nothing that interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 01:09 am UTC (link)
	GK smiles. "She's great. And my uncle's a photographer-slash-political activist. What was your mom into?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She was just a office worker type person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Ah." And once his burger is done, GK might just stare a little. And a little more. Man, the guy's hot. Until he starts to see Home and politely averts his eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 01:54 am UTC (link)
	He notices the sudden aversion and tilts his head. "What? Gone shy all of a sudden?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 01:56 am UTC (link)
	As GK never, ever talks about The World's Most Embarrassing Metagene, he just shrugs. "Shouldn't stare so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Oh come on, that's not how you were acting a moment ago," he says with a snort, before spreading his wings out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 02:37 am UTC (link)
	And the staring starts again. "...God damn, you're gorgeous." Pause. "Totally don't mind getting me to make a fool of myself, do you," he smiles just slightly under the lust-struck look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 02:40 am UTC (link)
	"My ego," he says confidentially, "Knows no bounds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"...You finished eating?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"Depends. Are you going to finish your fries?" Being a flighty creature - in the winged sense - required lots of food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"No. I don't like the ones that are too pointy. Feel free." And he hands them over. "So... we could go back to the shore and walk around a bit. How're you feeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 02:54 am UTC (link)
	NomNomNomNom. "That sounds like fun." He eyeballs GK a bit. "I bet I could carry you. How much do you weigh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"148 pounds," GK answered, his heart beating a little faster. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 03:14 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I can carry that easy." He flexes his wings again, barely missing over turning some fat guy's large super gulp soda. If he realizes what he's doing to GK he doesn't show it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 03:14 am UTC (link)
	"Then... I guess let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 03:26 am UTC (link)
	At that, Eli hops up onto the table and grabs GK under the arms. "Hold on, It'll feel weird when I take off, but you should get the hang of it and I won't drop you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-08 03:31 am UTC (link)
	GK clings, eyes wide. He's glad there were no more puzzling with arguments with, apparently, Kyle Rayner. But oh gosh, what had he gotten himself into. Throwing oneself at random hot guys was not the best way to get over a crush. ...or was it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
