Who: Ian Gallagher and Dawn Summers
What: Hanging out and making out
When: Monday afternoon
Where: Farmhouse
Warnings: I doubt it, but will update if necessary
Status: Closed, in progress

It had been a couple of days now and they were no closer to recovering their memories, but at least Ian had someone nice to hang out with while they were going through this difficult experience. They hadn't been able to figure out where Dawn lived, so she was staying with him at the Farm house (not in the same bed, he wasn't bold enough to suggest that to a girl he only remembered meeting two days ago, even if she was his girlfriend), so they had spent almost all their waking hours together and were quickly becoming really good friends despite the memory loss. They'd spent hours talking and playing video games and watching movies together. Since they didn't remember any of the movies or games everything was a new experience, and it was great that they got to experience it all together.

This afternoon they were watching one of the movies from the stack of DVDs in the living room. Something called Dirty Dancing, which sounded like it could be porn, but turned out to be a sappy love story instead. It wouldn't have been Ian's first choice, but they had already watched a couple of action moves and he had to admit this was pretty good as a change of pace. Since they were supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend he'd put his arm around Dawn while they sat on the couch together watching the movie. He certainly wasn't going to push for anything physical - given the memory loss that could be unfair or creepy, regardless of what their relationship was before - but he figured little things like this were fine, as long as Dawn didn't mind.

"That's right, you tell 'em Johnny! Nobody puts Baby in a corner." Ian said to the TV. He had a bad habit of talking to the TV sometimes when things got intense.

The past few days had been incredibly awkward. Dawn had no idea where she lived and since no one else in town seemed to have any memories, she'd been stuck staying with Ian at his place. Which was nice and all, but it was weird staying with a boy she couldn't remember, even if all signs pointed to them being a couple.

She certainly appreciated that he'd been so considerate. Obviously he was a really good boyfriend and they were managing to have some fun with video games and movies. Her hands seemed to remember how to operate the controller even though she wasn't sure if she'd actually played these games before.

"It's so romantic," she said. "He doesn't care what anyone thinks."

	Ian nodded. "And she doesn't either. She doesn't care that he's poor and her family hates him." It was silly movie, about rich people at some kind of weird summer camp, but it was romantic. "They've got some pretty sick dance moves too. Think I could manage that?" He said, as the couple on TV did the big lift at the end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We could try," Dawn said, nudging his ribs lightly with her elbow. The movie was definitely cheesy and old, but she was enjoying it, especially all the dancing. "If you want."

She wasn't sure if she trusted him to actually try the lift part with her though. It seemed kind of dangerous. But she knew well enough that Ian wouldn't do anything to intentionally hurt her.

Ian laughed and squirmed away when she nudged him in the ticklish spot under his ribs.

"Let's do it!" He said with a grin and stood up from the couch and moved a few feet away, so that they would have more room and would't break the coffee table.

"So do you think you can handle it?" Because, like Patrick Swayze had shown in the movie, it wasn't just about the guy's strength, but also the girl's balance and confidence.

Dawn grinned. "I can totally handle it," she said. At least she was going to give it a shot. It was kind of ridiculous, but since everything else was too, she figured there was no reason not to try. It had been three days since the woke up in that coffee shop with no memories and everyone in the town was dealing with the same thing. They may as well have some fun.

"Ready?" she checked, before running towards him.

	"Ready!" He said holding out his arms and preparing to lift her... ...and then he chickened out at the last second. He was too worried about dropping her, so he ended up just catching her in his arms and tumbling backward onto the loveseat. "Sorry, sorry, that was my fault," he laughed, still kind of holding her on his lap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was okay that he chickened out because so did Dawn which contributed to the falling over on the couch in a heap. She laughed with him. "Maybe we hold off on that for now," she said.

Especially since now that she was on his lap, she was kind of wondering what it would be like to kiss him. She figured they'd probably done it before, so she only hesitated for a moment before she leaned in and pressed her lips against his.

Ian really hadn't been expecting that! He almost pulled away, but then he remembered that they were supposedly dating, so he went with it and kissed her back. They'd probably done this a million times before, after all. He may not remember it, but his body did, or at least it remembered kissing somebody because he definitely knew how. He moved his lips against hers and reached one hand up behind her tangled his fingers in her hair.

	Kissing him definitely felt right and Dawn wrapped her arms around his neck loosely when his fingers tangled in her hair. When she eventually needed to stop to catch her breath, she leaned her forehead against his and smiled. "I hope you don't mind that I did that," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ian smiled back. "Did it seem like I minded?" He hadn't minded at all. Kissing her was...pleasant. He didn't feel any big jolt of desire or anything like that, but it wasn't bad at all.

"We've probably done it a million times, right?" Ian paused and blushed, realizing what he'd said. "This, I mean. We've probably done this a million times. Kissing. Not it."

For all he knew maybe they'd done it too. He'd found some condoms at the bottom of a drawer in his dresser. But he was not ready to do that now, when they barely knew who they were.

It was probably better if he just shut up now, so he leaned in and kissed her again.

Dawn blushed at the implication of his words too. As much as she liked kissing him, she didn't think that she was ready for anything more than that and she was glad when he leaned in to kiss her again instead of continuing to talk. It was a lot more fun than having an uncomfortable conversation and also a better distraction than watching another movie.

Of course, there was also the fact that he lived with a bunch of other people and any of them could come in at any time.

	Ian would much rather kiss her than talk about sex too. In fact, he was really uncomfortable with the whole idea for some reason. So he kept kissing her for a few minutes, until he had to come up for air. "Do you want to watch another movie?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, that sounds good," Dawn said. They probably shouldn't let the kissing thing get too out of hand since they were in his living room. "Maybe one of those animated movies." She was guessing those were geared more at families and kids so they were far less likely to have any embarrassing moments in them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
