Football night counts as date date
This had just sort of happened. She wasn't sure how exactly but Harry was a nice guy. A nice guy who liked football too apparently.

So she had figured out when a game would be on. She had then asked if he wanted to watch it with her. Then when he said yes she went and made a metric ton of Buffalo wings so they'd have something to pick at through out the game. It's slightly sad to her that she can make meat very well but pies and green beans turn into burnt bricks if she attempts them.

She also had some beer for the game. She wasn't sure she'd drink any of it but it was around just in case. She had no idea if Harry drank beer. She just knew that while she wasn't technically old enough to have beer legally she still managed to get it whenever she wanted it. If she got nervous during this date she might need it to settle her nerves a bit. Harry did after all seem like the kind of guy she would really like and that could make this go either really well or extra awkward.

	"Well they are awesome." She glances at his arms finally. Then very carefully touches one of his arms not wanting him to jump or flee from shock. "You don't have to worry. Your markings don't bug me and I don't bite without permission." Why did she say that last bit? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Harry flinches a little at first in reflex but stays very still after. He gulps and answers, "Sorry I'm just not used to...people always think they're weird tattoos and I'm some thug. It's just uncomfortable." He's very careful not to move away because, while still blushing, he's kind of enjoying it.

The bite comment causes his eyes to go wide while he bites his lip. She might notice that he's also gotten at least two shades redder.

	"Harry." She turns a little more green. Which might be funny to note for anyone looking at her. "You're defiantly not a thug. Trust me. I woulda noticed if ya were. And ya wouldn't be so interesting to be around if ye were a thug." And she's sure she'll burst into flames now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks." He gives her a shy smile. "People just think large tattoos must mean I'm a thug. I once had a woman at work who accidentally saw them congratulate me on getting out of gang life." Oh if one of them is going to spontaneously combust it's him. He can practically feel the heat radiating off his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait. She thought you were once a gang member?" Look at her face. She is shocked. "But yer so nice! Who would think that!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well it was hot at work so I took off my jacket and I had short sleeves under. That and it was after one of our training sessions and I had absorbed a lot so they were up to here." He indicates a point on his upper forearm and continues. "So I guess she thought that if I had almost tattoo sleeves and I was working in a community center with kids that I must be reformed. She hadn't actually talked to me before..."

Still blushing. "Thanks, I'm glad you think that."

	She tucks her hair back away from her face again. She still can't get over how green she is. "I'd be so mad if I were in your shoes. I mean it ain't yer fault you get those markings." She shrugs her shoulders then takes a sip from the coke he opened up for her earlier. "Well.... Yer a nice guy Harry. If I'm good at anything, it's readin' people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Harry just gives a good natured smile. "Nah, I can't get mad that easily. I just learned to wear long sleeves at all times."

"And making wings!" He takes another bite out of one before continuing. "You're one of the nicest people I've met too you know. And the bravest." He means that in the best way, just because he doesn't fight doesn't mean he can't appreciate someone who can look danger in the eye and just charge through.

	"I ain't brave, just stubborn as all heck. Don't like loosing or being held back either." She is blushing heavily now. She doesn't know how to say that he just paid her a huge compliment and she was feeling pretty flattered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It doesn't register to Harry that she's blushing, mostly because in any social situation with a girl it's him who's doing the blushing. "I still think you're brave. I wish I could be a bit more like that." He's finished his coke and gestures to the rest of the pack. "Did you want another?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2011-11-28 03:38 am UTC (link)
	"I..." He has her feeling tongue tied. Oh man she has no clue how to act around a guy like him. "Naw I'm good." Her eyes snap back to the TV and she can't help but jump up. "Aw hell yeah! Keep running, Lefountain!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather was passing by on her way to her room, and paused, as she couldn't help but stare. She'd never be a Cupid or a real Star Sapphire, but with a shard of the Predator inside her, well, she noticed things. "That the big game?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2011-11-29 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Heather's unexpected comment causes Harry to almost jump out of his seat. He freezes and turns a little red (what? It's a date he's in the middle of, interruptions kill him). "Ummm yep I think. I...don't know what teams people like so..." What are the rules for these situations?! He figures he'll let Jess handle the talking now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2011-11-29 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"The Keystoners versus the Giants if that helps," Jess says smiling. She doesn't notice it but one of her hands is resting on Harry now. She's kind of staking her claim. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm more of a fan of the Corsairs," Heather admitted, "but that's hockey. Football, I usually end up rooting for Metropolis or Gotham." Yeah, even without the hand thing, she could see what was going on here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2011-11-29 12:39 am UTC (link)
	He's frozen in place, Jess's hand keeping him from jumping any more but it just makes him more jittery...and about 2 shades redder. "Keystone is good too! They're winning by a lot here!" Yeah, he can pipe up to defend a home team but really that's about the extent of what he can pull off in terms of conversation right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2011-11-29 12:44 am UTC (link)
	"Only because the Giants are playing for crap. I mean you saw what that butterfingers did," Jess gripes. But she's clearly not bothered at all. Plus she just can't stop smiling even just a little right now. Also she's a Bears fan. She can't help it she was raised that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Keystone's got a good team," Heather admitted. "We took a family trip there once, to see their hockey team play the Corsairs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2011-11-29 01:05 am UTC (link)
	He's still looking unnaturally red. "Oh! Who...who won?" He only follows hockey slightly really. He feels like he's missing something...should he offer her a coke? Wings? Fries? Try not to get too nervous Harry... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2011-11-29 01:08 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah?" She glances over then looks back at Harry. "Hey Heather. Wanna sit down?" She figures she shouldn't chase her off. Heather is nice. And it's not like this is obviously a date. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2011-11-29 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"The Corsairs, of course," Heather said, managing a grin. "Um, sure," she told Jess. "If, um, I'm not interrupting anything..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2011-11-29 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"Well congrats then!" He's not one to get worked up over team rivalries. Wow, he's forgetting his manners today. "Oh! Did you want a coke? I brought the glass kind," he points towards the rest of the pack. Best to let Jess answer all questions since he'd be pretty useless at it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're just watching a game." If she planned on making out with Harry he might run away from blushing too much. "Come on and join us!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2011-11-29 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Heather took a seat, somewhat carefully, even though Cindy had made sure all the furniture was reinforced. She waved off the drink. "Thanks, Harry, but, ah, I'm good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Okay not only has he forgotten his manners, he's forgotten basic sensitivity. This is what so much blushing does to him...

"Sorry." What else could he do? He's really off right now, too much blushing in a short time period and he's still red. "Umm...what have you been up to? I saw some of your sculptures. They look really good." He's being honest, the ones he saw looked good.
