Penny arrives
WHO: Penny and Billy, CLOSED
WHAT: Penny arrives
WHEN: Evening
WHERE: Around the city
RATING: G

Penny walked away from the library she'd somehow ended up in. She had no idea where she was or how she'd ended up here. The guards had not been helpful as they brought her out of the library, but they were clearly just doing their job.

She'd been given a PDA. She'd never seen one before. It wasn't the type of thing she could afford or was interested it. It didn't help a starving child or give a person a warm bed to sleep.

She'd also been given $100 to spend. It was more money than she'd ever had to spend on herself. Maybe this was a better place. She wasn't sure.

She wandered along the streets, trying to find the building the PDA had told her she was staying, maybe she'd get some answers there.

	"I'm alright," she said. "Still trying to wrap my head around this. It's nice to see a familiar face though," she said, smiling at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Uh, a couple of weeks," he said. It was really hard to concentrate when she was smiling at him like that. She had such a great smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It must have been hard, being here and not knowing anyone," she said, rubbing his arm gently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was rubbing his arm. She was rubbing his arm. He swallowed and blinked. "Uh, yeah, kinda," he said. "I have a roommate but I haven't met him yet. But - uh - people seem nice here," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His stomach did a weird sort of flip when she smiled at him like that. He smiled back, cheeks flushing a little. He glanced down at his feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She looked back at the street, taking in the buildings around her. "I've never seen so much snow. The place looks sort of magical. I hope there aren't people who have to sleep outside though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2009-12-21 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	He looked up. "Yeah, it looks great," he said. "Uh, I don't know," he admitted. "Everyone who gets brought here gets given a room and money," he said. "But, uh, I don't know if everyone here was brought here the same way..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lostnlonely 2009-12-21 02:06 pm UTC (link)
	She looked at him and nodded. "I just hate to think of some poor soul sleeping outside in the freezing cold, or sleeping outside at all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2009-12-21 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled, she cared so much about other people. "I think that's great," he said. "Uh - no, I mean, not people sleeping outside, that's awful. I mean, that you care so much, and want to help and all," he rambled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled at him. "I just want to bring people hope. Dreams are easy to achieve when hope is all I'm hoping to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2009-12-21 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled. "You do bring hope," he said. "I mean, I'd say you do. I can't imagine you not bringing hope. I mean, to people you're helping..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks Billy. You're sweet," she said, smiling widely at him. He was being so nice to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovetheair 2009-12-21 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	Sweet. She thought he was sweet. He smiled widely, trying not to seem too insanely happy that she'd said something like that about him. His cheeks felt warm again and he glanced down at his feet. "Uh, thanks. I mean, you're welcome," he mumbled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She slid her fingers under his chin lifted his head to meet his eyes. "You're welcome too," she said, smiling warmly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Her fingers felt cool against his skin, but he knew that wasn't the reason he shivered. He looked back at her, right into her eyes. They were so pretty up this close. he smiled softly.

His throat felt all tight, he could barely breathe, but it felt so perfect he didn't care.

He swallowed and blinked, looking ahead because he didn't want to trip over something which would be typical him.

He was equally relieved and disappointed to see the building ahead of them. Walking with her like this was amazing but he didn't know how long he could do this without making a complete idiot of himself. He was dangerously close to hyperventilating.

"Uh, there's building C," he said, pointing down the street.

	She smiled at him. "Thank you," she said. She took off his coat and handed it to him. "Thank you for letting me borrow this," she said. She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "It was really nice talking to you," she said, before she stepping away and walked down the street and inside the building. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He took back his coat, smiling and blushing even more.

"Oh, it was nothing," he said, trying his best to go for cool and calm.

She moved closer again, and he thought she was going to hug him again and was just steeling himself for that when her lips brushed against his cheek.

His breath hitched and he felt his skin burn.

"You-" he started, but he had to clear his throat before he could finish because his voice sounded kind of squeaky. "Uh, you too," he said, smiling at her.

She walked away and he stood, frozen to the spot on the pavement. She walked into the building and he took a giant gulp of air. His head spun from the sudden rush of oxygen. His hands gripped his coat and he turned and leaned back against the wall for support.

Penny. Here. And she'd talked to him and smiled at him and - she'd kissed him.

He grinned and let his head fall back against the cold brick. Wow.

He didn't know how long he stood there, dazed, before he realised he was cold and standing in the street like - well, like an idiot.

He shook himself, pushing away from the wall and slipping his coat back on. He paused, just a couple of steps down the street, and sniffed.

His coat smelled like her. He grinned even wider, wrapping the coat around his body as he walked down the street, towards building D.
