Elevator problems...bets are on a newbie's power fritz
Having just finished a work out in the danger room, Vlad waits for the elevator up while toweling off his hair. Luckily it had been pretty empty so he could put on the swashbuckling pirate program that was a favourite of Uncle Kurt's. What? It was still a good workout and tons of fun.

	"You made me Buttercup?" Cait asked and blushed at the same time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I needed one who could hold her own in a fight," he tries to explain while turning away to reach up and press a few buttons for no real reason other than to prevent her from seeing the slight blush on his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait climbed to her feet and kissed his cheek. "That's sweet. Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He doesn't know what to say to that and just tries not to blush anymore. "Of course a real one would be better than the program. And you'd have lots to work with on the ocean." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just let me know the next time you go in," she said. He was cute when he blushed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well he was a tad embarrassed he'd let the Buttercup thing slip so easily. He blamed the fact it was her asking. "Will do. Bring cookies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled up at him. "As you wish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He gets up and gives her a short bow. "Thank you, kind lady. I promise to share the cookies."

Now this was the part where he'd give her a quick kiss, smile, and casually turn to leave when the elevator doors opened. He does the first parts, and then turns to realize...oh yeah. Elevator stuck.

Well this was embarrassing. So to cover up slightly he ineffectually pushes the emergency button again. Obviously no response.

Man he had bad luck.

	Cait had to chuckle. "Didn't quite work out, did it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah...let me just drown in the embarrassment for a moment here..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's no need to be embarrassed," she told him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd argue against that..." He doesn't turn around and opts to focus on pushing that red emergency button again. Maybe eventually it would do something? At least it was a good distraction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait put a hand on his shoulder to turn him around. Once he did, she gave him a kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gave her a small smile. "So...not out of pity-the-guy-who-nearly-walked-into-an-elevator-door feelings?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course not," she said. "I...um...I really like you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The smile on his face says more than enough and this time the kiss he gives her is quite a bit longer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-03 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	Cait's toes curled and she returned the kiss. Her arms went up around his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His own hands go to her waist to pull her in closer. Maybe almost walking into an elevator door wasn't so bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-10-03 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Cait let herself be pulled closer and now she was pressing up against him. Maybe the power being out was a good thing. Of course at that moment the power came back on and the elevator rose to the next floor and the doors opened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
