laney evans, march 2011

Who: Laney and Alfie
What: late night sneaking around
When: tonight! around 1ish
Where: outside the Tibbits house
Rated: TBD but can't be too high cause they're young'ns, except for language maybe

Laney had a plan. She'd been formulating it all night in her room. A bag was packed, her bed was made-- something of a 'fuck you' to mom and dad if they ever caught her-- and she'd already changed into some of her bigger clothes. All she had to do was wait until her parents went to bed. They were pretty routinely, so Laney figured around one or so, she'd be good to leave.

The clock seemed to take hours to pass midnight, and she used the last minutes of her time to quietly and slowly open her window. The screen was removed long ago, and the crate she'd strategically placed under her sill was, thankfully, still there. The only thing she could foresee as an issue was the cold outside, but she'd rolled up a towel and placed it on the bottom of her bedroom door to prevent the draft from spreading throughout the house. She was a thinker, Laney. It was just too bad she used her brains for misdeeds, rather than things like school and homework.

By the time the clock said 1:01, Laney was hopping down on the crate looking twenty years old. Slowly, she shut the window half way and proceeded in the directly towards Alfie's house. She figured if she looked older, no one would stop her to ask her why she was out so late. Older people didn't have to answer to anyone. And it was definitely suspicious for a fourteen year old to be prancing down the street with a backpack past midnight.

She reached Alfie's house around half past one, and hid in the bushes to age down and change her clothes. She figured Alfie would want to see her changed self, but knew if his mom woke up and came outside, it'd look awfully suspicious. She hated to think about consequences, but this was Alfie and she didn't want to get him in trouble. Once back to normal, she left her bag where she changed and bent down to pick up a few tiny pebbles. Aiming for Alfie's window, she threw one, two and then three at the glass. Hopefully, he'd wake up.

Alfie was a sound sleeper when he actually got down to it. Sleep was very important to him, as he didn't get to enjoy it as often as he liked given all his school work and sports. Still, tonight he had been up playing his DS for a while. Since the death of one of his controllers at his own hand, Alfie had to stick to playing on the DS mostly so that his parents wouldn't see him on the Xbox. It was difficult not crushing the tiny game console in his powerful hands, but Alfie liked to think of it as an exercise in restraint.

Yeah, that sounded pretty good.

It had only been minutes since Alfie had shut off the DS and decided to turn in for the night. Good thing too, considering that if he'd been sound asleep, he wouldn't have heard the pebbles tap tapping on his window. Though, when he did, he opened an eye and looked around, unsure of what that was exactly. Roaches? Oh man, if it was warm enough for roaches to come around, they were in such deep shit. Alfie was afraid of smashing one and consequently smashing a hole right through the damn floor! Hell.

Laney bit her lip and waited. No light came on, no one came to the window. What the hell? How soundly did Alfie sleep? She picked up a few more pebbles, bigger ones this time -but still not big enough to break anything- and tossed them. They hit the window in quick succession, making quite a racket. She paused again and waited.

This time, she was a little nervous. Those last ones had been loud. What if his mother woke up? Fuck. She didn't have any excuse as to why she was there, and she was positive that Mrs. Tibbits wouldn't believe that Laney just wanted the homework assignment.

"Come on, Alfie," she whispered out loud. "Wake up."

Alfie popped his head up from his covers. His eyes darted toward the window. He was sure this time that the sound was coming from the window, and he pulled off his covers to rush over there. Sure enough, he spotted Laney down by the front yard. And Alfie couldn't help but smile. He waved and pushed open his window easily. He wasn't sure if that was the type of window that could open, but it really made no difference now.

And then.... he just stood there. Well, what else was he supposed to do? He didn't know if she wanted to come in or if she wanted him to go out. He figured it would probably be nicer if she came in. Something about rolling around with a girl in grass and earthworms didn't appeal to Alfie. He looked around before waving her over. His parents and sister were sound asleep. If they could hear this, they had super sonic hearing then.

Finally! She watched as he opened the window and then waved back at him. The remaining pebbles dropped from her hand and she moved towards the house. Did he want her to come in? Or was he going to come out? She hadn't really planned much after waking him up. "Hey. Were you sleeping?" She smiled sheepishly and shoved her hands in her sweatshirt pockets.

Laney always forgot that Alfie wasn't naturally wired to rebel like she was. She knew he was usually up for breaking rules if she asked, but he didn't seem like the type to disobey his parents on his own. It didn't bother her, though. She liked that he was a little more straight laced than she was. She liked that he was probably in bed while she was creeping around the neighborhood. Don't ask her why, though, because she probably wouldn't be able to give a straight reason.

"Do you want me to come in or do you want to come out?" She had no preference either way, but he was going to have to pull her up if she was coming in.

"No," he said with a shake of his head, "not yet." He waved to her though so that she could come inside. He wasn't going out there in his pajamas so that grass and earthworms could stick to his pants like goosebumps. "I'll help you up," he said, grinning at her. Pulling her up would be easy for him. He could lift more than twice her weight if he had to. The tricky thing was not getting her hurt in the process. The trick was using his strength to get her up and not squish her wrists as he was pulling her.

Somehow though, he managed to do that just fine, and before he knew it, he had a Laney Evans in his bedroom way past midnight with all the lights off and nothing but the sounds of the night to accompany them. "Hey," he said again, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her properly. "What are you doing here? I mean, I'm happy to see you, but it's like three in the morning." Okay, he liked to exaggerate a little bit. Just a little bit.

She let him pull her up into his room, marveling at how easy it seemed for him. Really, she didn't know anyone who could lift her just like that, especially from a low, awkward angle. But Alfie did it effortlessly. It impressed her to no end, and she couldn't help but smile when her feet touched his carpet and she was still in one piece.

"I wanted to," she paused, wrapping her arms around him and returning his embrace. She wasn't sure how to finish her sentence. 'See you' sounded awfully desperate and girly, and Laney was neither of those things. "Hang out," she ended lamely. "And it's like one thirty or something." But it was cute the way he exaggerated. "Is your mom in bed?" She pulled away slightly to look at him.

Alfie lightly kissed her forehead when she pulled up to look at him. He wasn't sure what had prompted him to do such a thing, though it felt very natural to him. He chuckled a little at her answer before letting his hand drop to find hers. Gentle as butterfly, he thought to himself so as to not crush her hand in his. It sucked that he always had to be thinking gay stuff like that, but he didn't really want to hurt anyone, especially not Laney. "Then hang out, we will."

His impersonation of the Yoda voice was a little too high-pitched, but it worked well over all. He tugged lightly at her hand, so that they could walk over to his bed. Taking a seat, he motioned for her to sit next to him and then shrugged at her question. "Yeah I guess. All the lights are off, so they all must be in bed."

She blinked when he kissed her forehead. It wasn't something that he'd done before. She didn't hate it, but it seemed so...romantic. She hadn't known Alfie to be romantic before. She hadn't thought of herself as any kind of girly girl who liked that sort of thing, either. However... she kind of liked what he'd just done. Not that she'd ever admit it. Never. But she wouldn't stop him if he did it again.

The corners of her mouth tugged upward at his impersonation. He always knew just how to make her smile. "Shut up," she laughed, pushing him away from her lightly, but then she followed his lead and sat down next to him. He was right, though. All the lights were off. She hadn't noticed before just how dark it was in the room. "Hmm. What do you want to do? Play video games or something?" She really should have come over with a plan. She almost felt like she was intruding without something to do.

Alfie smirked at her as she pushed him. They were always ribbing each other, sometimes more literally than others. It was just the way their relationship worked. They could be serious at times and completely playful at others. Right now though, Alfie was feeling a bit serious. Perhaps it was the time of the night or perhaps it was the darkness of the room and his house. He felt like it wasn't really a time to play... at least not video games.

It felt awkward verbalizing what exactly he wanted to do with her, considering the last time they had done something other than play video games they had nearly given his father a heart attack. He was pretty sure that to this day, his father couldn't look him straight in the eye, and vice versa. So, given that there was no easy way to say what he was thinking, Alfie simply leaned over to her and with a grin said, "How about this?"

And he kissed her lips softly, his fingers tipping her chin up a tiny bit.
