clio, saint patrick

WHO: Patrick and Clio (Possibly Kellan?)
WHAT: Storm cuddles
WHEN: Monday, late night/Tuesday, early morning
WHERE: Patrick and George's
WARNINGS: Floooooof

Together they had watched as the weather outside their windows (the ones they hadn't boarded up) got steadily worse. Patrick found himself intensely glad that Clio was with him instead of at her own place. Instead of panicking about how she was doing, she was here and he could see she was safe.

They had had power most of the night, but eventually they lost it too. When the apartment went dark, Patrick found their LED lanterns and candles and soon the place was swathed in dim light. Then he retrieved the heavy blankets they had in case of emergency or guests and he wrapped one around himself before going to wrap one around Clio. "Here, for warmth."

She was a little worried about Ella, but she also knew she would be safe with her father. As a child of Zeus she rather enjoyed storms but this one was bad enough to see about other location.

When she felt the blanket she smiled and leaned into Patrick's touch. "Hey, thanks. This has gotten pretty bad." She looked back at him "I may be stealing your couch, don't feel like driving home in this."

	He smiled at her in the dim light and he leaned in to kiss her cheek. "I don't think driving home would be a good idea," he said, and it was honestly not just because he wanted her there overnight. "You can have the bed, this couch isn't terribly comfortable." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With a smile she leaned into the kiss, enjoying the fact she could. Despite the fact that the weather was terrible, she wasn't going to regret getting to spend time with Patrick. "Well I'm not going to deny a comfy bed." She grinned at him. "Sorry if you think I'm going to say no and be nice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Patrick snorted and he wrapped his arms around her. "If you did then we would be locked in an impasse with us both insisting." He didn't mind sleeping on the sofa or on the floor or even in with George for warmth. Of course- "If it's too cold though...I could join you, just to keep you warm. I am almost sure I could behave myself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At that she looked back at him and put as much heat into her eyes as she could. "Patrick", she used all the seduction in her voice at his name. "I couldn't." She raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Don't tempt me love. I can only be so strong for so long. Having you in the same bed is beyond me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Patrick puffed up his cheeks and then the air drained slowly as the deflated. Mostly it was done in effort to stem a very different response which could have been anywhere from 'LET'S GO THEN' to laughing and crying both at the same time. He was still flabberghasted anyone would want to actually sleep with him, especially when they weren't blackout drunk and when they were as gorgeous as Clio was.

He bit his lip then, the look in her eyes causing a very physical reaction. "R-right. Uhm. Got it." Suddenly he couldn't remember the point of waiting.

She knew she was pushing it, and she honestly wanted nothing more then to find a very fun way of getting warm and of passing the time. But something in her reminded her to be good. She didn't know what it was and wanted to bury it very much, but Patrick was still dear to her.

Having the regret of pushing too far, too soon, wasn't one she was willing to have. So she pretended not to notice anything and looked away from him. She curled herself in the blanket and was glad he couldn't read minds. With her train of thought she was pretty sure she might just kill him.

	Patrick crossed his legs and wrapped his arms around her, mostly for warmth. "Well George is just in there if we need a chaperone. Most likely he will be terrible and big brothery though. Or there's Kellan. Hey, are you hungry or anything?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	famedhistory 2012-10-30 10:55 am UTC (link)
	She was a terrible person, really. But for a Greek, not to mention one of Zeus', she figured she was showing admirable restraint. "Well you may not. I may." She looked to the cat who just looked back with interest. "He'd be the worst chaperone next to my father." But she took the topic change and nodded. "I could eat. Anything that doesn't require being made?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Patrick glanced at Kellan as well, wondering what he was thinking. "Yes. I made a mushroom pie yesterday, in case the power went out. They're delicious cold. Just a second."

Patrick leaned in to kiss her neck and then he left his blanket on the sofa and went to the kitchen to grab some pie for each of them. He trotted back to her on the sofa and handed her a plate. Then he looked back at his cat. "She thinks you would be a terrible chaperone, Kellan." To Clio he said, "I am fairly sure he has interrupted George and his girlfriend on a few occasions and ruined the mood for them."

She gave him a look after the kiss on her neck and smiled before sitting down. She gave Kellan a wary look, who was just looking at them with interest, before looking to Patrick. "Thank you and in my defense he walked in on me changing." Kellan looked a little smug at that. "My trust level around animals that aren't completely animals is a little low."

"So, you know, pretty sure he just wanted a closer look. Or he's just a jerk. Also I am Greek, really think a cat would stop me?" Smiling she nibbled on the food, "And this is good."

"I don't blame you for not trusting him," Patrick said, amused. He was watching Kellan carefully. "He's tricky. But he did convince me to actually talk to you instead of just being convinced you would laugh in my face." He avoided thinking about a cat not stopping her from sleeping with him because that just made him think they might as well do it. He wasn't ready yet, at least emotionally. Physically though, he was raring to go.

	She was happy to shift the conversation elsewhere, even though she gave Patrick admonishing look. "You know I'd never do that. Even if I hadn't felt the same." She set her hand on his and kissed his cheek, "okay?" She knew they would need to work on his confidence and she hoped she could help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, I know. I just overthink things." All the time every day. He leaned in and nuzzled her shoulder, forgetting all about his pie. "I'm sure I will figure out how not to eventually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know," she set her arm around him and threaded her fingers through his hair. "And I will help you. Right now just know that I have faith in you and that I believe in you. I'll get you to agree with me in time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If anyone could do it, you can," he said with a wide smile. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Smiling she kissed him, "no need to thank me for that. You would, and have, done the same for me." Then she curled closer to him, using the excuse for body heat, and gave a happy sigh. (Reply to this) (Parent)
