Post Type: RP

Character(s): Dean Thomas, Hannah Abbott
Location: Studio Dean apprentices at, London
Summary: Hannah comes to sit for Dean

Dean had found himself rushing through his usual Saturday activities as quickly as he could. His shopping had been done, he'd made a vague attempt at tidying the flat and he'd even stuck laundry in. By the time it was almost time for Hannah to arrive he'd been at the studio for an hour setting up chairs and backcloths and a mattress and setting up enough prepared materials for himself as well.

He'd also ducked into the little kitchen area and made sure there was tea, coffee and cake sitting ready for when they took a break. Now he was mostly just slightly anxious about how this would workout. He'd never worked with anyone brand new to modelling like this before, and never properly directed someone completely on his own. The fact it was someone he knew made it a little strange, but it wasn't as if he knew Hannah especially well, so it didn't matter so much.

Dean was sure he wouldn't find Hannah walking out on him for his confessions, but he didn't know what her reaction would be. When he heard her approaching he braced himself for the hug he would be sure was coming. He hadn't gone in a lot for physical contact for a long time, and certainly not with anyone he didn't feel totally comfortable with. But for once the contact felt okay. He closed his eyes against the wash of emotion, his arms even coming briefly around Hannah before she let go.

"You didn't ruin it, it was going well until it all got a bit, well depressing. Thanks for sharing, I feel privileged." He screwed a hand into the fabric of the sofa and sighed. "I just shut myself away and hide in art. I guess it can only work for so long, but it worked pretty damn well.

"As for sitting for me, that would be lovely. Another time though, if you don't mind. Right now it doesn't feel right," he said. "Thank you though."

Hannah wanted to give him a tighter squeeze when he finally hugged her back, but she resisted since it didn't seem like he was used to the physical contact. Giving a small chuckle, she smiled at him when he said the day hadn't been ruined.

"Don't shut yourself out, Dean. You have lots of friends who would be more than willing to help you," Hannah said. "And you can include me in that list of friends."

She understood why he didn't want her to sit for him more that day, but she was glad that he'd want to use her again. Leaning over she gave him a quick squeeze before standing.

"What are your thoughts on chocolate cake? Sylvia makes this German chocolate cake that is just beyond brilliant," Hannah said. "I'll bring some next time."

He gave Hannah a small smile and added that he knew he had friends. "I just kind of dealt with most of it by shutting myself away and it worked. Takes a while for me to get back to trusting people again." He brushed it off, even though it was something very big in most people's eyes. To him it seemed almost normal.

"That would be nice, I'll let you know when I could do with a model again. Look, do you mind letting yourself out when you're dressed? I'm really itching to draw some stuff," he said softly.

He rose to his feet as well, smiling at her in thanks.

"I understand that," she said softly. "But I hope that one day you'll trust me."

Hannah gave him a bright smile as she nodded. "Brilliant. I'll bring some for next time." After giving him another nod to let him know that she didn't mind letting herself out, she scampered to behind the dressing screen and changed.

Emerging from behind the screen, she watched as Dean went to his work for a moment before slipping out the door. While Hannah would have like to said good-bye, she didn't want to disrupt his work.
