Who: Tony and Katie
Where: A bakery in Downtown Disney.
When: After this.
What: Katie has something to tell Tony, Tony has a present for Katie
Warnings: TBD

Tony sat at the same table he had when Katie sent the message. He wasn't quite sure what she had to talk to him about, but it didn't matter that much, did it? He just wanted to see her.

He had her present wrapped up, leaning against the legs of his chair. He hoped she liked it. Because he'd seen the same beauty in the portrait that he saw in her.

He had also picked out a few cookies he knew she'd like. A tall chilled decanter of milk in the middle of the table.

	She'd been running through what, exactly, to tell Tony, ever since she'd messaged him. She had to tell him, but she couldn't figure out exactly how to phrase it. Upon arrival, though, her guilt only seemed to grow. He looked so happy and innocent and...that was a large package for a present. "Hey," Katie greeted, moving forward. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	His smile instantly brightened at the sound of her voice. Turning toward the door, being a gentleman he took the seat closest to the door, he slowly stood. Going around to the other side of the table he pulled out her chair. "Hi." He offered cheerfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She had to smile a bit as he pulled out the chair, even if her stomach flip-flopped a bit. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting long." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, not at all." He'd wait for her forever. He carefully tucked the chair beneath her as she sat. Going back around to his side he offered the wrapped package to her. "Merry Christmas." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Katie couldn't open that present, not yet. But she took it with a soft smile. "Thank you," she answered, though the present was set back down. "...could we talk first?" She needed to get things off her chest and fill Tony in before he stumbled across Channel 7 or Morgan's post himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay something was up. He wasn't that oblivious. "Of course." Closing his hands together he gave her his best serious face. "What's up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She took a deep breath, then, eyes lowering for a moment. "Apparently there are hidden cameras all over, recording different things...and broadcasting them for the entire resort to see. I..." She risked a look up for a brief moment.

"Morgan's posting about everything and I needed to tell you before you stumbled across it. I was hanging out with Aiden...we had an ice cream fight."

	He wasn't sure he liked where this was going. He went completely still. If he stumbled across it... He knew it had to be bad. "Okay. An Ice cream fight isn't so bad." He admitted. Afraid to go to far as the lump in his stomach grew. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hoods_girl 2011-12-27 05:58 am UTC (link)
	If only that were all that it was. And she hated having to tell Tony about this, when he was being so sweet. "The fight itself wasn't," she agreed. "But...he kissed me." She did look up, then, her own stomach twisting as she waited for a response. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_big_d 2011-12-27 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	He had to take a moment to let that bit sink in. As he did his hands slowly slipped from the table top. "So he kissed you?" Did that mean she didn't kiss him back? Or... He had an urge to sweep everything off the table, but he didn't. In stead he stood up. Slowly. Stalking over to one of the walls he set his forehead against the cool surface.

	Her heart sank as he stood. For a moment, she thought he was going to leave the restaurant entirely, and she twisted in her chair, watching him as he moved to the wall, not sure that touching him right now would be the best idea. "Just once," she answered. "He apologized afterward." But that didn't exactly answer how Katie felt about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_big_d 2011-12-28 01:10 am UTC (link)
	He'd been tempted to just leave. But... Something kept him there. Call him a glutton for punishment. Turning around he leaned against the wall. "Okay..." Tony wasn't quite sure what to say... Well he knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't feel right doing it. Especially in anger. "So, what now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hoods_girl 2011-12-28 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know." She was honest. "I like you...a lot, Tony." But... Arms wound around herself, head ducking. "And Aiden and I have been inseparable since we were babies. I don't know what I think right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_big_d 2011-12-28 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"You feel stronger toward him than you do me." It was a statement rather than a question. Aiden had been around before he had. While he, himself, wasn't shy about his feelings for Katie. He wasn't sure he could say it was love. Not yet. And he'd known her all his life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hoods_girl 2011-12-28 02:22 am UTC (link)
	She couldn't look at him, then. He was right, to a certain extent. She'd known Aiden, had been playing with him long before Tony was even on her radar. "I don't know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_big_d 2011-12-28 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"You know." There wasn't a time that Katie didn't know what she wanted, how she felt. At least not that he'd ever noticed. "Katie... I like you, I've known you all my life and all I can say is I like you, a lot. What can he say?" He could hardly believe his own ears. He was bowing out. But better now than later when he got deep enough to be hurt by it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was a first time for everything. And this was one of those times. Startled, she looked up, eyes confused. Was he saying...was he stepping back? He'd been so happy when she came in, and she had to ruin everything. Without noticing, her eyes wee filling with tears. "Tony..." He had to know how badly she felt about all of this.

	the_big_d 2011-12-28 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"Hey... hey." He noticed those tears before even one traveled from her eyes, he moved away from the wall to kneel beside her chair. Taking her face into his hands he met her gaze. "Don't cry... Please don't cry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hoods_girl 2011-12-28 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"Easier said than done," she managed to say, unable to stop the tears from escaping. "I'm so sorry, Tony. I like you a lot." And she really didn't want to hurt him, especially after all that he had gone through with Grace. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_big_d 2011-12-28 03:40 am UTC (link)
	He wiped one, then another. "But you love him." He supplied. In some ways he was stronger than his sister. "You just keep me in mind if he ever screws up. I'll kick his ass, then scoop you up." He'd rather hurt than have her hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hoods_girl 2011-12-28 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"You're such a good guy," she informed him, leaning in to hug him. "And you deserve someone wonderful." Better than her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_big_d 2011-12-28 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"I try." He admitted. Wrapping his arms around her tight. Even if he didn't want anyone but her. Hadn't wanted anyone but her for a while. But if she loved Aiden... If Aiden loved her... Who was he to stand in the way? Pulling back just a little, he pressed a light kiss to her lips. He had to have one more. One last one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hoods_girl 2011-12-28 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	She let him have the kiss, returned it even, before it ended and she buried her face in his shoulder for a moment, trying to compose herself before pulling back all the way. Even so, she couldn't help cupping his cheek for a moment before she slid away, head ducking. She had to get out of there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He lay his hands over hers as they cupped his face, but he didn't stop her from sliding away when she needed too. His hands caught the top of the table once she was gone. Steadying himself.

It took a moment or two, but once he was composed, he stood. And noticed that she had forgotten his... With a soft sigh he lifted the present and settled it down in the chair she emptied. If she wanted it... she could come get it.
