Road trip meme- Pitstop
Harry had to remind himself why he'd agreed to a road trip instead of just teleporting there. But then again it'd been Jess who'd asked and wanted to go. And he was the type to not turn down anyone, let alone her. So when a girl he likes asks him on a road trip, just the two of them, there was no way he could say no. Besides, it was a good sign.

So yes, he had very good reason to be behind the wheel, driving down...whatever highway and trying to find somewhere to stop for the night. Actually, he had no idea where he was anymore. Jess had the map.

She had wanted to go to Texas so badly. She had also gotten a little tired of driving so Harry had taken over. She was checking the map with a glowing green light above her head.

"...Okay. There's a rest stop up ahead, in like another mile. If we want to rest it's that for the next 150 miles, apparently. Nothing else between us and the next gas station for a long time," Jess says after a moment.

	He's about to offer to teleport there but reminds himself again that that is not the point of a road trip, but he almost offers on impulse. Besides, it'd been fun getting here so far. Now as long as those clouds didn't turn to rain... "Really? Alright. I've never actually been to Texas," he admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well.... Texas is big. And unless you know an area it's hard to find out of the way rest stops," Jess explains as she sends him a small smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good thing you're here then?" He shoots her a shy smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She almost blushes under the comment. "Well I do read maps well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's still not used to the fact he can actually get someone to blush. It was usually the other way around. "Just that? That's a very specific talent," he tries teasing a little. It was easier now than it used to be, he was more comfortable around her and there's far less nervousness than there once was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That made her smile at him. "There are a few other things I'm good at... few other I wouldn't mind learin'" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...Well she was by far the better one at teasing. Harry looks at the road a tad wide-eyed now as it sounds awfully suggestive. "I'm sure you know a lot of things," he blushes. Oh dear, he hadn't meant that to sound suggestive... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-14 03:01 am UTC (link)
	"Well.... No more than you, probably." Right they were both blushing. And then? It starts to rain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucky for them it's not much longer before Harry pulls into the rest stop. "We can park here righ-" A giant drop lands right in between his eyes. Blinking it away he looks up at the roof. ...Oh no, leaking roof. How old was this car? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Son of a bitch!" Jess looks upset. "I just bought this thing!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-14 03:12 am UTC (link)
	He stops himself from asking for how much. Because it wouldn't be nice. "...Umm...do you really need a car?" Well, it was a nicer way of pointing out that this one wasn't doing a good job. Now he expected the engine to make odd noises later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So umm...what do you usually do in Chicago when we're not getting attacked by people?" He's trying to distract her from the leaking roof by asking questions and trying to hold tissues against the leak. She'd just bought the car, and he didn't want her to be in a bad mood over a bit of water. Even if it was landing on him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She puts up a barrier just for him. It takes no effort right now. "I go jogging a lot. Take in the sights, mostly. It's easy seeing as people don't freak out anymore over me being green." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-14 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," he gives her a small smile and slouches a little to make sure he doesn't have a chance of touching the barrier and inadvertently absorbing it. "That's good to hear. Makes going out better right?" He makes a mental note that he should try taking her out in Chicago next time. It'd be easier for her if people didn't mind her being green.

	"Yeah." She grins a touch. "It ain't so bad anymore.... Of course sometimes it's weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-14 04:32 am UTC (link)
	He gives her a slightly concerned look. "Why's that? I mean...other than the obvious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't like getting treated like a big hero," Jess grumbles looking a little embarrassed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-14 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Oh, that. He can't help but smile at that. "You are very good at helping people," he points out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-14 05:02 am UTC (link)
	She's going to start blushing again. "We just did what cops and firemen do every day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, but they think we're more colourful and therefore interesting," he tries to reason while he starts adjusting the seat, wondering if he can make it more comfortable to sleep in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At least the heavy downpour won't drown them. Jess figures out that she can sort of cuddle up to Harry fairly easily. Or at least put her head on his arm as she rests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-14 05:45 am UTC (link)
	He blinks a little when she does that, but doesn't say anything because it feels quite nice. He'll rest his head against hers and let it continue until he should mention that if she wants to sleep the backseat may be best. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-14 05:49 am UTC (link)
	But she wants to cuddle up with him. Back of the car says no to cuddling because she knows he won't lay back there with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
