I was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows they learned to swim (Lena)
Tim did the one thing most people do when they didn't want to think; he threw himself into his work. He spent the past week in his lab working on projects. When he was working he wasn't thinking about things like feelings and whatnot. Life was better that way.

	"My lips are sealed," she said with a very serious face, even making the 'zipping lips' motion. Then Lena broke into a grin. "I'm excited to see this now, if I had the time I'd totally camp outside your lab waiting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim laughed. "I'll let you know when it happens so you don't have to camp outside the lab. If you do, I can't promise your safety." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-23 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh? What happens to my safety if I were, hypothetically, to do that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because you'll be the target of practical jokes. Some involve permanent markers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pffft. Tim, that assumes I sleep, and we both know that isn't the case. Tsk tsk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-25 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	"We all sleep sometime," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-02 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"Oh you sweet innocent thing," she teased and patted his shoulder. "Naps are the most you're going to get from me. Don't tell me you actually sleep Tim? What's your secret?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It happens once in awhile," he said. "On that thing people call vacation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-02 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"A vacation? Fascinating concept. Do tell me more of this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's that thing that I take when I go rock climbing or scuba diving," he explained. "If you don't know what one is then it's well past time to take one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-02 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"So that's what it's called? Well, good to know. I think I'll avoid your ice climbing adventures thank you very much. Speaking of which, were you taking one soon?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-02 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"Soon," he said. "About in two weeks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-02 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Good. You've been working really hard lately, even for you. Any reason?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-03 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"Big project and looking forward to vacation." He wasn't going to say he was trying to forget Sammy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She sips her drink and just raises an eyebrow at him in a 'you really think that's gonna fly' sort of way. "Tim. You've been in that situation before and haven't holed yourself up like this. So, come on, you need to get it off your shoulders a little, and you know I'm good with discretion. So drink your beer and tell me what's bothering you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-03 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Tim was quiet for a bit and sipped his beer. Eventually he would answer. "Sammy's dating someone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-03 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah. Jack right?" She'd suspected this was the issue but, poor Tim. Lena shoots him a sympathetic look and reaches over to put her hand over his and give it a comforting squeeze. "It's harder when someone is trying to take her off the market huh? Have you talked to her at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-03 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, Jack" Tim said and returned the squeeze. "No, I didn't talk to her. I'm too scared." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-04 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"Very understandable Tim. What would you tell her if you could? Maybe it'll help to get it out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-04 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"If I were brave or drunk enough, I would tell her that I've loved her from the moment I met her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-04 08:40 am UTC (link)
	"That's sweet Tim. You've loved her that long?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-04 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nodded and took a long drink from his beer. "Yeah. We met when we were three." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-06 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"That's a long time to stay quiet Tim. You think she knows that dating Jack is affecting you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-01-06 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"No. She sees me as a brother and nothing else. So of course her seeing Power won't affect me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-06 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"Do you have any intention of ever telling her how you feel one day?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
