Room 528, Wednesday Afternoon/Evening

[icecoldfrost]

Wednesdays were Emma's slow day. No classes, no homework, and she typically did all her Special Classes on Thursday before going to film studies.

She'd already talked to Jack and was bored again. So since Triela would be out part of the afternoon at Gun Club, she had the door open and her music up, and was reading a completely trashy magazine.

What? She knew what her roommate had been up to last night when she'd been out. Any teasing from certain other parties would result in teasing and potential blackmail. Unfortunately for Triela, telepaths either made the best or worst roommates ever, depending on their mood.

[Open door, open post, looking for two in particular.]

"Chinese is always a good option, isn't it?" Emma replied. "I like foods that are designed to share, I find it makes dining much more pleasurable."

She got up to grab a menu of her desk, leaning against the wall to look it over. "How spicy do you like it?" Totally dirty.

"Spicy," Peter said. "Not too crazy, like those habanero sauces, but something that most people might think is a little too much. The people that go off the deep end, there must be something wrong with their tastebuds."

[icecoldfrost]

"Luckily for you, habanero is Mexican, not Chinese," she teased, holding out the menu. "Come pick what suits your fancy."

"I knew that," Peter said with a little lopsided grin. "You do realize that's a pretty loaded question."

He walked over and took hold of the menu.

"I couldn't have said it if I didn't mean it, right?" Emma replied with a small grin of her own. "The perils of the island deciding to be perverse."

"It's a pretty cruel double-whammy," Peter said, looking over the menu. "I think the Mongolian beef will be my selection. I feel like conquering most of Asia."

That, at least, was a joke.

"So you have a thing for large tracts of land. Good to know," Emma deadpanned. "Maybe we should have a game of Risk while we eat."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"I'll have to hope my luck holds up," Peter said. "And we could always make it strip Risk."

[icecoldfrost]

"I'll take you up on that offer, and you'll find yourself on the losing end of the game," she replied, hitting one of the speed-dial on her phone and placing the order.

"They say it'll be forty-five minutes," she said upon hanging up. "What shall we do until then? Start the game early?"

"I'm all for it," Peter said, rubbing his hands together. "And if I lose, so be it. I think at that point I'm not sure being naked in your room is much of a real loss."

[icecoldfrost]

"Somehow I think if one of us ends up naked, the other one won't be dressed for long." Emma groaned and covered her eyes. "That would have sounded a lot more flirty on any other day."

"I think we both get a pass today," Peter said. "And at least with today being the way it is, you'll know I'm being honest when I say that weirdness or not, I'm just happy to be here with you."

[icecoldfrost]

A genuine, pleased smile crossed Emma's lips. "That's very sweet Peter," she said, leaning in to brush a kiss over his cheek. "Thank you."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"And I promise I don't get more saccharine than that," Peter added, grinning ear to ear. "I am not some little lost puppy looking for a home."

[icecoldfrost]

"Good. I've never had a pet, and I might forget to feed a puppy," she joked. "I've been told, however, that I am very good with people, when I want to be."

"Now that I look forward to testing myself," Peter said. "But I'm getting ahead of the game here." He rubbed his little scruffy chin with a hand. "Unless you really do want to skip straight to dessert."

[icecoldfrost]

"Well, we already ordered the food, so it would be a shame if we never ate it, but I'm not opposed to appetizers," Emma offered.

And if she hadn't moved back after giving him that kiss, well, it had only been a moment. She hadn't gotten around to it yet. Mostly.

"Well then, I would mind a little taste myself," Peter said, leaning over to try and kiss Emma. It seemed the right time.

[icecoldfrost]

It did, didn't it? Emma made a pleased sound and kissed him back, shifting to slide her hands up his back. It was about time, in her opinion.
