Workout Surprise
GK came up the steps from his tiny basement apartment into the little yardspace behind. He was in his workout clothes and carrying his stick. Sometimes, a guy just needed to run through his fencing forms, and there certainly wasn't enough room inside.
He unsheathed the sword from the stick and was just about ready to start when he looked up at the tree and froze.

	Eli is totally not stalking GK in an Edward Cullen kind of way. Not at all. He's just watching the place feeling horribly stupid, and a bit hung over and not sure what to say to anyone. But he knows GK likes him and isn't going to try and hurt him. So he came over to be near him. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	GK sheathes his sword and grins up into the trees. "Hi, gorgeous. You okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-05 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey," he says back, looking down, still hunched over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK sets his stick down and steps closer to the tree. "Have you had breakfast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-05 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	"What is this breakfast you speak of?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Juice and bacon and toast with unhealthy amounts of butter? You may recall I make a great pain perdu, too. I mean, unless you were just being polite..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"French toast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but Uncle Jed always calls it that. He says the toast in France is just toast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 12:39 am UTC (link)
	"What does he call French Fries then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"Just fries, unless he does them English style, and then they're chips. Come down, please? When you're out of reach, I can't intrude on your personal space." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"How do you know if they're done in English style or not?" He doesn't move from the tree however. He's not quite wanting the physical contact right then. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Big thick wedgy-types instead of the little strips. And in Britain? They use vinegar instead of ketchup." GK's expression fades a little when he sees Eli's got little interest in coming down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"Ugh. Vinegar. That's disgusting." He does look vaguely apologetic about not coming down. He also looks like he needs a hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And then there's the very creatively named brown sauce, but that's a long story.... if I try to climb the tree, will you be mad at me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 01:29 am UTC (link)
	"No. I won't. Just don't feel like being on the ground right now," he explains. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." And GK starts climbing up the tree. He gets as close as he safely can and snuggles against a wing. "I missed you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"Was i gone that long?" He asks. He doesn't remember,honestly. Bad short term memory. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I'm not trying to complain, but it's been a little while, and I really like seeing you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry. I've just been..." he tries to think of a word that doesn't include 'drunken bender' or 'plotting genocide'. "Well busy. With the Titans. There's stuff been going on like mad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"S'okay. Not your fault. I'm just really glad to have you here. How long can you stay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 02:36 am UTC (link)
	"Until something blows up again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 02:39 am UTC (link)
	And there's this wonderful little hope in his eyes. "Could you? Stay with me until there's an emergency? I've got the next few days off..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 02:51 am UTC (link)
	He thinks about this for a moment. He does want to, it's written pretty clearly on his face. He's just hesitant about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-06-06 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"I'd really appreciate it," GK says quietly. "And I've got plenty of food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-06-06 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"Well... okay. Sure." he doesn't say this reluctantly, but shyly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
