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.

	He...suspected as much. "That's...okay. You don't need to..." He squirms a little since he had no idea what to say to make her feel better. So he'll opt for putting the seat up and giving her a quick kiss. He was trying to be less nervous and shy. Besides, that she got caught up in.. the moment was kind of...flattering. Not that he'd say it out loud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not here. Somewhere nicer.... When we're not on our way to see my family." Oh that had her relax and almost snuggle into him again. Somehow he made her feel better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh I didn't mean-! I meant you don't need to apologize-but it's not like I don't-I mean..." He sighs and cuts himself off to stop before he gets even more muddled. Her snuggling into him helps with that too. "Okay, sorry I...okay." He snuggles back and let's himself relax. At least he'd stopped before he got into his nervous apologizing groove.

	"I'm..... Interested. I just don't think in my car is a good idea," she clarifies. Is that a bad idea? Possibly. They may make each other blush and stammer. "And I'm assuming you might be. But.... car. Bad idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry just quietly and nervously nods in agreement. He doesn't trust his ability to speak and not ramble right about now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At least she hasn't gotten frisky again in the past fifteen seconds. And bonus: she hasn't tried fleeing either. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He certainly doesn't want the second. But he feels awkward so he makes a desperate attempt to change the subject. "Um wasn't there someplace you wanted to go today?" There might have been, he's not sure, but hopefully it works. This was a completely normal conversation to have with her on his lap in the cramped front seat of a leaky car right?

	"Oh right." They really weren't that far off at this point. "My grandparents farm." She flashes him a shy grin. "It ain't that much further. Just a couple of hours but.... Think it'd be a big deal if we stopped fer food somewhere? I bet you're hungry." See? Successful subject change. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They were that close already? Wow, he hadn't realized. "Good idea. But...don't grandmas usually try to full you with food? That's what I've heard," he tries to joke. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's still gonna be a few hours," she points out. "It doesn't make sense to drive on an empty stomach... ain't ya hungry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Kinda actually. I'll drive? You did most yesterday." On a random note he notices that she smells nice. Why was he noticing this now? Focus. "Any place on the way that's good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-06-21 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	"All right," she agrees as she slowly extracts herself from his lap. "Don't really know. Been a while since I drove this way to Gran's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry nods and let's her find her way back to her seat before starting the car again. "So, umm...what are your grandparents like?" He does his best to ask this casually and not show his nervousness. He really wanted to know what he'd be dealing with and didn't want to leave a bad impression. They were her relatives, he wanted them to like him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well I think they're sweet. Grandad is still working on the farm, mostly. He respects people who are honest so I wouldn't lie to him about anything just.... try to be polite."

She smiles fondly. "Grandma is just.... well. She's a doll. She has a soft spot for animals so they'll have all kinds of creatures around the farm she's nursing back to full health. She's a trained vet so she knows what she's doing."

	Harry nods while he starts driving. Be polite? He could do that, he was always polite. And he'd answer all the questions he got honestly, but that probably also meant no avoiding questions. That might be difficult. "They sound nice. Do they know about....?" The superpowers, the team, all that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They know about me." She gently squeezes his forearms. "You don't have to say anything you don't want to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-22 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"Just you? Not the team or superpowers?" He wants to know so he doesn't tell them anything she hadn't, in case. At the arm squeeze he gives her a reassuring smile to show he was alright. "It's okay. I just don't want to tell them anything you didn't want them knowing." He'd understand about that, since nobody but the team really knew about this power thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well they know a little bit," she admits. "I think they might have seen the news or Dad called 'em." She smiles a little. "My family has been.... good. About all this. They worry about me but they know I'm strong enough to handle this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-06-23 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, I won't say anything until they bring it up." He gives her a big smile, "That's great. It's better for you that way." He was genuinely happy for Jess and that she had a great family. It didn't matter that he didn't have the same, as long as she did it was good enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)
