Week Eighteen: Tuesday
Who: Kim and Xael
When: Tuesday Afternoon
Where: House of Fire

It was different without his family in the school. Xael would be the first to admit that fact. There wasn't the worry about getting grounded at the same time as getting some crazy supernatural form of detention. There wasn't the little brother running around enjoying messing with Xael's stuff and there wasn't his mom who knew way too much sometimes. But mostly it was just... kind of empty now. Yeah, he could admit it. He loved his family and even though they were just somewhere else on the island there was a small chance he missed having them around.

It had him in a funk for the first week or so. Xael knew that he'd been quiet, holed up in his room for a while. Rocking a lot of xbox. The covenant aliens didn't know what had hit them. But a week later, it was gone and Xael was ready to emerge again. That and his right hand was a little tired of keeping him company. He might not have been a full fledged incubus like some he-whores around the school but there was some of that blood floating through his veins not to mention he just enjoyed the company of women as much as the next guy. Well not the next homosexual guy but you get it.

Xael's eye was currently on prize in particular. A nice leggy one. Taking said leggy brunette out before a full moon had been a great idea even if it was Kat's b-day and Xael was well aware that for some reason Kat and other girls didn't seem to play nice. Thankfully though, there was no such problem on Friday. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that there was drinking involved and Kat had a werelion glued to her? Might have factored in...

But taking a girl out when they were all ramped up for the full moon was a little on the cheap side and given the fact that he just plain enjoyed hanging out with Kim, Xael managed to remove his thoughts from the gutter completely and decided to get some shit together for a post-full moon chill session. In Xael's book the only things needed for this moment in time were... donuts (a hell of a lot of donuts) and some choice movies. Oh yeah and the willingness to go get more of whatever was required. He admitted it, he wasn't a chick and his body didn't change forms every month. He didn't exactly know what was key to the day after other than sleep and being bitchy. That had worked for his old roomie.

Box filled with glazed goodness and a bag with movies slung over his shoulder, Xael covertly (HAH) made his way to the girls side of the house of fire. He worked his way down the hall until he was pretty damn sure he was at the right door. Knocking, he waited rocking back on his heels. Here was to hoping her roommate was already gone... his room was passable but uh... he was a guy. No shame in that.

Friday night at the Garage Tavern had been fun. She was glad Xael had “claimed” her for the party. And while most people in the school seemed to have a problem with Kat, Kim didn’t. At least she didn’t have a reason to. She didn’t really know her or even talk to her so Kim was just fine being around her. Yeah, drinking probably did help with that and it also helped that Nat was the one behind the bar, feeding her drinks like there was no tomorrow. In the long run, it wasn’t such a great idea because of Kim’s low tolerance coupled with her petite frame. Xael practically had to carry her back to the school, but luckily there was none of that getting sick business. Thank you were genes!

Since the full moon fell on a Monday this time around, all the weres were excused from class the next day for some much needed rest. So in Kim’s case, she had a nice two day vacation after the full since the whole school had off on Wednesday for Lammas or whatever the hell that holiday was. Sweet deal. She could catch up on her sleep. Or do something productive. Her bet was on the catching up on sleep unless something better came along.

It was Tuesday afternoon and Kim’s eyes were just beginning to flutter open. Moving her hair out of her face, she groaned slightly as she flopped her arm back on the bed. She turned her head toward the clock on her night table which read 12:32 and noticed a note lying next to it. Reaching over, she picked it up and read it. It was a note from Nat saying that she was at the hot tub if she needed her. Ooh, that sounded so good to her achy muscles right now. At that same moment, she heard a knock at her door. Pulling the covers over her half naked form, she hoped the door was unlocked because she had no desire to stand up right now. “Come in.”

Patience had never been Xael's strong suit. Was it any chaos demons? Probably not all things considered. But with that trait in his blood mere moments could feel like ages. Thankfully he didn't have to wait too long after his rap on the wood paneling of Kim's door. It didn't open as he'd expected it would though. Nope, just a groggy voice gave him permission to open the door. Well crap he hoped it wasn't too early. Not like he was an early morning person either, but looking at a clock always escaped his mind. "And what if I'm some serial killer huh?" Xael asked as he reached for handle and turned it. Score. "Can I still come in?" His head poked into the opening he'd created, smiling all the while.

And he sure as fuck didn't stop smiling. The fact that he clearly was going to owe Kim's roommate did register though. He was going to owe her something damn good. Okay so maybe that was being a bit presumptive but no... the very fact that Xael was getting the chance to walk into a half naked girls room deserved some form of thanks on his part to the roomie who had abandoned her half of the room. It took his brain a minute or two to pull away from the way the sheets just barely covered all of her. Wait was it slipping on the right there. Please, please... damn. Focus.

"I come bearing gifts of the glazed variety." The box of donuts was presented as he stepped inside and closed the door behind him. "Still feel like a bus hit you or think you'll be able to make a comeback for a few chocolate covered donuts and an apple fritter?" Xael could attest to the healing property of a donut if need be. What he didn't bring was coffee though. Shit. Stuff tasted like shit strained through motoroil to him but he was aware other people liked it, but like a lot of other stuff it didn't always filter through his brain when it should.

Kim turned her head toward the door and smiled when his head popped in. “Well, if you’re a serial killer then no. Not unless you’re bringing breakfast.” Yep, Kim could smell the food. Her senses were still pretty heightened even the day after the full. She couldn’t tell what kinda food it was though, but she was definitely hoping it was some breakfast type.

She went to sit up but remembered her half naked state and stayed put. Crap. And apparently he noticed said state as well because he was staring pretty hard at one of the corners of the sheets. Looking down at the sheets, she realized he could still see some skin so she promptly pulled the entire comforter over herself. He wasn’t gonna be getting a free show today. Well, at least not unless he earned one. Heh.

“Ooh.” Kim’s eyes lit up as he showed her the box of donuts. Score. “Still a little sore but I’m sure I can be revived by some pastries.” She smiled and sat up slowly, making sure to not let the comforter slip off. Way too tired to look for or even put any pajamas on this morning, she had just taken off her t-shirt, bra and jeans and left them on the floor next to her bed before climbing in and passing out. So really, the only layers separating her nakedness from him were her underwear and covers. Xael really was a lucky bastard.

“So what brings you around these parts? Besides, of course, the fact that you probably asked my roommate not to be around for a while..” She smirked knowingly as she tried to stifle a yawn. Yeah, she was kinda suspicious but it was a good suspicion of course. It was just way too much of a coincidence that her roommate left her a note telling her where she’d gone off to if she needed her and then not a second later Xael showed up. Nat almost always slept in and lounged around later than Kim the day after a full moon.

"Note to self... mass murders go over better with pastries." Xael replied with a grin covering his features. Hey, you never knew when that kind of information could come in handy. If anything it could be uh.. helpful for trivial pursuit or something. Stepping inside it really did remind him of what it was like when he had a roommate not so long ago. The day after the full was way worse then the day after some big blow out. Except for the random guy with a penis drawn on his cheek passed out somewhere and that sort of thing. But it was noon and it was probably way too early for Kim to be up.

Of course, if the benefit of that was her holding a sheet... well damn now a comforter over her and not much else. Who was Xael to complain. Wasn't exactly good form of him to be caught staring but at least it was plainly clear that he was appreciating what he was looking at, that was a compliment in it's own way right? Yeah. "Figured that donuts might have some medical properties. Should have at least." He said as he crossed over and comfortably took a seat on the edge of her bed, not really worrying about the fact that she was nearly naked (or maybe entirely naked) underneath the covers. He was actually probably enjoying that fact. The box of donuts was set in his lap and he snagged one, leaving the lid open for second, thirds, fourths whatever.

"Whmfah?" Xael asked, mouthful of glazed goodness, eyes taken on an entirely innocent expression. He chewed some more and swallowed before beginning again. "I didn't ask Natalia to go anywhere, I just must be a lucky son of a bitch. Though my mom's really not a bitch. Swear." He said holding out his pinky. No signs of the cross for this guy. "But you know I might have to do something to thank her for some well timed... whatever the hell she's doing. Should I make a card or something?" He asked with a laugh. "Thanks for leaving your roommate alone and scantily clad? I don't know if Hallmark sells those."

Trivial Pursuit? Really? Kim just kinda laughed as she watched him walk in. The day after the full wasn’t that bad for her. Years and years of practice got it to where it was just laziness and a few sore muscles the next day. And yeah, noon was kinda early for her today, but present company and the breakfast in bed deal were making her not regret it. Very nice.

As flattered as she was that he liked what he was seeing, she still didn’t want to be half naked while she was having breakfast. Too bad for him. “Can you pass me my clothes?” She would’ve done it herself but it required getting up and grabbing them from their spot on the floor and yeah.. that wasn’t such a good idea right now because of said scantily clad state and the fact she was sore and didn’t feel like reaching very far for anything.

Kim grabbed a donut from the box and just shook her head at his innocent look. “You didn’t? Hm. Maybe you are a pretty lucky son of a bitch.” She took a bite of the donut and licked off the glaze that had been left behind on her lips. Laughing at his remarks, she shook her head slightly. “Yeah, I don’t think they make cards like that. Guess this one’s gonna have to be home made.” She was kinda glad that Nat had decided to head out earlier than usual. It was nice just being able to chill, especially with Xael and some donuts.

Popping the rest of the donut into her mouth, her eyes moved over to the bag he still had over his shoulder. "What's in the bag?" Naturally curious girl that she was, she couldn't help but ask.

Clearly Xael didn't play trivial pursuit. He'd be the first to admit that game went well over his head in the smarts department. He wasn't stupid but books smart... that was not Xael. If he had to pick a game he was definitely more a twister or operation sort of guy. heh.

Xael was more than comfortable taking up a spot on her bed. Hell he would have been happy enough staying right there, but then Kim had to go and make that request for clothes. He swung a look over at her, brow arched. "You want me to give you what? I might need a good reason for helping you out in that department because really I see nothing wrong with this situation. If it makes you feel better I'll lose my top too?" He offered, reaching one clawed hand for the hem of his shirt, smirk etched into his features.

There was a definite shake of his head in the negative, through bites of his own donut. "Nope. Cross my heart hope to whatever," he spoke, his finger make the gesture over his chest. He really was just a lucky bastard. Okay so maybe had had listened in on a conversation between her roomie's friend and uh... figured that she might be headed out to hot tubs today. But that was totally besides the point. "Shit.. i really suck at homemade stuff. Last time I ended up gluing my fingers together." No joke on that one.

"Stuff." Xael immediately answered as he grinned and pushed the bag out of the way with his foot. "You know, the usual. My mass murdering stuff that goes with the donuts. Or movies. whatever."

Shaking her head, Kim laughed, knowing that it wasn’t gonna be that easy to get her clothes. “Why did I have a feeling you weren’t gonna make this easy?” She should have known better than to think he was just gonna hand over her clothes like it was no big deal. And of course he saw nothing wrong with her current state. She’d start to wonder about him if he did. “Well I wouldn’t complain at all if you decided to go topless, but I still want my clothes cuz I’m starting to get cold.” She smirked and held out her hand for her clothes, wondering if he was gonna cave in or keep insisting. Knowing him, her money was on the latter.

“Oh yeah, I heard about that little incident. Pretty funny. Never learned how to use a glue stick when you were little?” She tried to hold back the smile she felt forming, but it just didn’t work. “Trying to type in the condition was kinda priceless. Wish I had been there to see it.” That definitely had to be interesting. How exactly he got into that mess in the first place, she didn’t know. And why that scene from American Pie 2 with the mistaken tube of lube popped into her head, she didn’t know either. Funny scene but it seemed hella painful.

Kim sat up a little more, peeking over the side of her bed to get a better look at the bag. “Movies? Ah, so you intended on staying past the eating of the donuts, huh?” She looked back up at him and smirked. Giving him a hard time was fun. Made for all the witty banter and such.

Not a hard assumption to make that Xael had absolutely no intention of just handing over missing clothes to a hot girl. He probably would eventually but... it was just too tempting to hold out for a while. "Cold eh? That's the problem well in that case..." Xael leaned forward and conjured up a small flame in the palm of his hand. "Can always just huddle around a fire eh? Works for me." His free hand grabbed up the clothes that she had requested. "Though since I don't want your sheets catching on fire... I guess I can give you these." Xael finally relented and handed over the clothes, snuffing out the flame with a curl of his hand.

"We're not going to talk about that particular moment of mine." Xael said with a laugh. It really hadn't been his proudest moment but it had been pretty freakin hilarious. Even he could admit that. "I had to get help somehow though. A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do." And in reality, the computer had been easier to work than his cell phone. And oh man that particular movie scene was all sorts of painful looking. Nightmare inducing.

"Burn Kim, Burn!" Xael said with a laugh as he snapped the lid shut on the box of donuts. "Maybe the donuts and I should pack up and leave, nurse our wounded feelings in another room. And by nurse I mean just get eaten by me." Because clearly Xael wouldn't be able to keep the lid closed on the donuts for very long as illustrated by the fact that he already had a hand sneaking into the box now to snag a pastry.

Foot snagging the bag he kicked it toward Kim. "Pick one, your choice since it's your morning after." That was said with a smirk to match hers.

“I don’t think a fire that small is gonna help.” She didn’t think he was gonna give in that quickly so when he did, she was kind of surprised. “How very kind..” Taking her clothes, she gave him a little smirk before she turned away and put her bra and t-shirt on. As for the jeans, that wasn’t exactly the most comfortable thing she could be wearing right now. Since she at least had boy short undies on before, she was safe to get up and walk over to her dresser to find a pair of comfy shorts to put on.

Settling back in the bed, she looked over at him. “Aw, come on. Why not?” she laughed as she nudged him with her leg. “How’d you finally manage to get your hands unstuck? And, come to think of it, how’d your hands get stuck in the first place?” That was really the question that she was wondering about. He didn’t really seem like the arts and craftsy type so she assumed he had to be up to something mischievous. Either that or his roommate played a trick on him or something.

Kim just laughed and shook her head. “Oh, I don’t think you wanna do that. I know deep down you love to share and play nice.” She saw his hand sneak into the box and took the opportunity to sneak hers in too. Pulling a donut out, she held it up for him to see. “See? You’re good at sharing.” She smiled and took a bite out of the donut. Mmm, glazed goodness. Great idea on his part for a post-full moon breakfast.

Pulling the bag over to her, Kim unzipped it and looked inside. Pretty good choices that he had brought; a combination of movies that she had either already seen or wanted to see. Spotting a particular movie, she pulled it out of the bag. “Good thing you brought Happy Gilmore.. I still haven’t seen it.”
