We all mourn in our own ways
Rose had heard about Jake's death.

That had been several hours ago. She'd since lost count of how many beers she'd had. But she was slightly above what her healing factor could keep up with to keep her from being drunk.

They'd fought and bled for Cassidy. Tina had nearly died. She'd been pushed to the extreme limits of what she could heal back from. And how had he repaid them? By killing one of her only friends.

So she'd responded in the time tested manner of finding somewhere to hide and drinking as much as possible. And possibly by crying. Though that was expressly something she did not do.

	She shook her head, then regretted it, because it caused her head to swim and her to stumble. "Nuh-uh. Healin' factor usually patches me up before than can hit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Damn, I knew I should asked for a healing factor for Christmas last year." Joey quips.

"Hangovers are horrible, horrible things. I'm glad you won't need me to hold your hair while you're suffering through one, though. I mean, I'd do it, but seein' you all pitiful and unhappy while praying to the porcelain god isn't at the top of my 'Needs-to-Happen-In-This-Relationship' list." he says.

	"Well, maybe next year," she joked. "Ain't on mine either," she added. "But yer sweet to offer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, that's the Rose I lo---know." Joey says. "You're looking more and more sober every minute. Do you need anything? Water, somethin' to eat? Did eat anything before you started in on all that beer?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Either one'd be good," Rose replied, having caught--she thought--Joey's near slip up. "I, ah, just kinda pilfered some of Dad's stash and started drinkin', actually..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay." he says, as they get to her door. "You go inside and get comfy. I'll come back with some pasta from earlier. Someone made some damn good spaghetti earlier. I'll see if there's any left." he says.

"You think your old man will have a problem with that? Though, if he did, he probably wouldn't leave it where you could find it, huh? Never mind." Joey says, turning to go.

	Rose was a little wobbly still, but steadier as she plopped down on her bed. "Thanks, bub," she told him, a smallish smile gracing her lips. Her smile was a little more devilish. "He'll get over it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-12 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"See, that's my girl." Joey smiles. He goes downstairs, finds the remnants of the pasta and procures a couple of plates. He grabs the Parmesan Cheese and a couple of Root Beers, then takes them back up to Rose's room, knocking on the door. "Gallopin' Gourmet for the hottest girl at Xavier's! Might even do singin' telegrams if you're lucky." he jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You start singin', bub," Rose threatened, "and I might start gettin' stabby. Yer cute enough to get by without yer vocal cords." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-12 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"But if you get rid of my vocal chords, I can't sweet talk you anymore. Some things work well without words, but hand gestures don't always get it all. Besides, making words out of fire can get tiring after awhile." he says. "Can I come in? I've got food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-12 02:21 am UTC (link)
	She actually laughed at that. "Okay, you can come in," Rose said. "Seein' as how you were nice enough ta go get me food an' all." "That and I kinda like ya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-12 02:30 am UTC (link)
	"Only kinda? I mean, you really liked me the other night when..." Joey says, letting the sentence trail off to hand Rose the food. "Oh, and there was the sparring matches you won. Like, all six of them." Joey says. He also hands her a Root Beer. "It's not real beer, but it's still good beer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-12 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Rose took a sip of the root beer, after swallowing an overly large mouthful of food. She burped, noisily. "Well... better out than in, eh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-12 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"Any other girl could not have pulled that off and still be attractive." Joey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She swatted playfully at his shoulder. "See, I useta just think it, but now I know yer crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-12 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Started around the time I met this girl over barbecue. I knew she was totally into me, but I had to wait for her to figure it out." he says, looking at her playfully. "Since then, it's been sushi and a lot of other things I never saw comin'. But it's all been good." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose gave him The Look for a moment, but couldn't hold it before breaking into a smile. "You know what?" she asked. "It really has." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-12 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Comin' here was probably the best thing I've ever done. I didn't think it was last, or that it would work out like this, but it's been great." he says. "I have a lot of things I ain't never had before, since I've been here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-12 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. "I got you," she said, "and that's more than enough for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-13 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"And I got you. Some day, I'm gonna take you to Australia for camping. Oh, and to Club Med. You and a swimsuit." Joey says. "By the way...what do you want for your birthday?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-13 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"I'd like that," she said. "Like it a lot. Especially if it gets swimsuit optional." She quirked an eyebrow. "Huh. Guess that is almost gettin' here. I'd plum near forgotten." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-13 01:06 am UTC (link)
	"It's a date." he grins. "And yes, it's coming up. Now, you don't have to answer yet, but I should know before your birthday gets here. Otherwise...I might have to guess." Joey says. "But if you see somethin' you like between now and then, let me know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Could use a new leather jacket," she reflected. "But if you wanna use more imagination than that, you go right ahead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-07-13 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"Every bad-ass needs a leather jacket. It's a fact of life. I think we'll get to work on that jacket, but I'm gonna have to put some extra imagination into it." Joey says. "Yep...I think I've got an idea already." he grins enigmatically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-13 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Rose grinned. "Knowin' you, I'm gonna like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)
