Who: Hayden and Mark
What: Catching feels
Where: Murder House Attic
When: Feb 15th
Warning: Hayden is always her own warning.
Hayden McClaine had never been a texting and phone call kind of girl when it came to important conversations. When she had something to say, she preferred to say it to the person face to face. The fact that Mark wanted to have a talk about them on the internet? Nope, that wasn't going to fly for her. They were going to have that conversation in person or not at all. Currently incorporeal, she waited by the door with him to arrived with a little bit of annoyed energy around him. He couldn't have talked to her about this yesterday when he was over there for Valetine's Day? Ugh! Men.
---
A few minutes later, Mark finally arrived (complete with a bag of assorted candy, of course), dressed down a little in comparison to how he'd looked the night before. Today he just wore faded jeans, sneakers, and a Chicago Bulls t-shirt, and cleared his throat nervously as he knocked on the door. He hated that he just blurted that out on the network, but, as has been stated: despite his good looks, he was TERRIBLE with communicating with women, and horrible insecure.
---
As soon as he knocked, the door swung open as if by magic and the bag of candy was ripped out of his hands. It was clear that it was Hayden he was dealing with even though he wouldn't see anyone in front of him.
Still invisible, she grabbed his hand and began taking him upstairs to the attic. It was the one place she could think of that they would be able to get privacy to talk because only Beau resided up there and she could easily keep him entertained with his ball. The basement was another option because she didn't want Thaddeus tearing into Mark and harming him because she liked him alive and pretty.
Once they were in the attic, Hayden became a solid body to reveal she was in a dress that showed off all of the bruises still present from there the shovel hit her with her hair down along her shoulders. "You couldn't have said all of that to me yesterday?" She asked as she sat down on the floor and began going through the candy.
---
"I tried to tell you from the beginning how bad I am at this stuff." He grumbled, setting his head in his hands as he sat on a nearby chair. "And I thought.... I don't know. I thought that I was happy with just being whatever the hell it is we've been. But then earlier, the way you worded that, about making it worthwhile... I saw red. I don't want to share you with other people."
---
"I remember" She told him. glancing up a him for a moment before she looked back down at the candy. As she listened to him, she picked out a few pieces that she didn't like and she began tossing them in a dark corner of the room towards the bed. He probably wondered what she was doing what she wasn't going to explain because it wasn't important at the moment.
"You do know the only way for us to really be together is for you to die here, right?" She pointed out, grabbing her own piece of candy to eat. "Because face it, if you stay alive, you're going to be out there getting to have a life and growing older while I'm stuck here and forever twenty-two. We can only go out on dates once a year and we'll have people up our asses every time you come over to see me. Is that a life you really want to live? Think on that. I mean really think on it"
---
"Hayden." He said, sighing as he closed his eyes. "Nothing in this entire world is supposed to exist. We have superheroes and ghosts and Jedi and wizards... in a world like this, you don't think someone, SOMEHOW, can find a way to help us? And while no, I'd rather not die in here... there are other ways to make sure I don't grow old. Think about who I work for."
---
"What like make me alive again or break the curse on this place so I can roam free all the time?" She asked, her voice dripping with disbelief as she popped a piece of candy in her mouth. Yeah this place was full of incredible things but she wasn't convinced that anyone could help her. This house was just too powerful and had too much of a hold on her. She narrowedher eyes at him a little bit before she scoffed some. "You work for a porn company. What's that got to do with anything?"
---
"Your pal? My boss? Lia? She's a vampire, Hayden. All I meant was... I'd do anything if that's what it took to stay with you." He said, still always a little on edge around her, as her moods could be... unpredictable to say the least.
---
The last little statement seemed to make Hayden soften again and she signed, gesturing at him. "Get down here with me" Why were they sitting apart anyway? Once he was on the floor with her, she pushed the candy away and moved to sit in his arms. "I've done everything in my power to keep people here from killing you because you deserve to stay alive. I like you alive. You're so warm. Don't become a vampire for me and do that to yourself"
---
"Then... we can figure SOMETHING out. There has to be a way. And even if there's not..." He sighed, taking a deep breath before finishing, "Then wouldn't you rather enjoy however much time we have than not have any at all?"
---
"I'm willing to explore options that involve you staying warm blooded" She replied, wrapping his arms tighter around her so she could feel his warmth on her cold arms. At his question, she nodded her head as she rested her head back on his shoulder. "You're the only man that's made me feel like I matter in years. You wanna be exclusive? I'm yours. That means no more complimenting other girls, you got it?" She asked, rolling her head to look over at him.
---
"Ok. I can agree to that." He winced, almost afraid to bring the next question up. "What about my job?"
---
Lifting her head up, she shrugged as she reached up to move some hair out of her face. "I can ignore it 'cause I'm not there to see it happening but if I see anyone talking about what's mine?" She reached down and brushed her hand along the front of his jeans. "Then we're gonna have a problem and I'm not talking about you and me"
---
"Ok... so we're good with the job, but I might have to be willing defuse a situation now and then. Got it." He grinned, feeling himself growing hard from her touch and words. "And I promise... outside of work? It's ALL yours."
---
"Mmm" She agreed with a hmm as she leaned in and kissed him. She would have done that when he first got there but they had business to take care of first and she'd been a little annoyed at him. She wasn't so much anymore so now kissing would happen.
---
"If you had any idea how you make me feel..." He started to say, before suddenly she was kissing him, quickly finding himself growing even harder beneath her hand. He was falling so hard for her, but wasn't sure if telling her would be a good thing or not.
---
She kissed him a few more times when she pulled away and began kissing down his neck. "Go on. Use your words" She encouraged as she felt a bell hit her leg. "Beau this isn't the time. Go away and eat your candy" She sassed, reaching out to hurl the ball backwards towards the shadow without looking to see where it was going.
