elspeth, niles

Niles and Elspeth, her apartment, Wednesday Night.
Niles was drunk. So drunk he could hardly stand up, and as always, he found himself at Elspeth's door.
He couldn't blame her for her - father. She didn't even know. She hadn't asked for any of this, and he knew that. But fuck, he was so ANGRY. Angry at their situation, angry at the hopelessness of it all, and maybe a little angry at her for making him love her enough to get into this mess.

He knocked on the door, his forehead resting against the wood and his hand sliding up and down the smooth surface as he waited.

	He hated this. Well, not this with her. But the outside stuff. The stuff that slowly turned him into a headcase. "It's just hard for me sometimes, that's all," he said after a moment, hands going to her waist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So you got drunk?" She smiled a very tiny bit. "Or was that just a coincidence?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-06 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"Coincidence. Both. I dunno. There was a party at the Lamb or something," he said and rested his forehead against hers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His hands went to her hips again, tugging her close. "How about you stay right here with me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't say anything, but didn't move away. She pressed closer to him, her head on his shoulder. She put her hand over his heart, beating in his chest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His hands slid down over her hips to her thighs and he lifted her. "You don't want to go anywhere else, do you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well...no..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then don't leave," he said softly. "And if you want to go, let me change your mind." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manorplayer_m 2010-05-06 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	she laughed softly. "I don't want to leave." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manorplayer_m 2010-05-06 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I love you, too." She pressed herself closer, still uncertain, still unsure, but hoping for the best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Am I still too drunk?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manorplayer_m 2010-05-06 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed again. "Apparently I'm not one to judge what is too drunk." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She looked at him. "It's just that my father drank. A lot." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-06 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	He looked at her with his lips slightly pursed. "I'm sorry. Is he still around?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manorplayer_m 2010-05-06 04:53 pm UTC (link)

	He moved to sit with her on the couch. "How did you come to the Manor?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's the best place to live in the City," she said, as though the answer should be clear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_j 2010-05-06 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	"So you grew up in the City?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manorplayer_m 2010-05-06 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	She gave him a funny look. "No, just outside. We drove out, remember? I told you about the lane...anyway, not in the City but close enough." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
