At seventeen they all hated her and me

Where: Matt's room
What: Matt tries to convince Maxxie to completely chick out with him.
Status: Closed, Incomplete

He opened the door to her knock, slightly surprised - he didn't remember anyone even knocking on the door before - but took the offered note calmly. As he read it, one eyebrow rose, and he looked up at her. "Come on in, then, princess."

He completely assumed, turning away to let her in, that she would follow; it never even occurred to him that she wouldn't, nor that she might be at all disturbed when he carefully set his cigarette into an ashtray and pulled his shirt off. "You can't just, like, look in the closet," he added, his voice slightly muffled. "Dresses are worn." But hey, she'd been in gymnastics for-fucking-ever, and TKD or whatever the hell else she did, she'd seen skin.

"As for the rest of it," he added, toeing his shoes off and using the opportunity to take a drag, "I haven't called a meeting because that's rather a statement of being the fucking leader, and I'm not even convinced I want to stay in this fucking country. I mean, that's not a fucking threat, I told you that already, it's just that going from christ I don't want this to yay, I will lead us all, is just a bit fucking weird, you know?"

That was about the fiftieth time she'd ducked him. He hadn't given up yet, but he had to admit, he was going to have to figure out a more subtle way to get anything back from her.

But he didn't say that; instead, he smiled and said, "No, I've got more words. Like ... shit." The pause was deliberately exaggerated, his face parodying the search for a word. "Yeah. Shit. I can say that too. Or ... damn, I think I've heard that one used too."

Maxxie laughed out loud at that, grinning. "So you could practically make a sentence out of those. Like... damn that fuckin' shit's good..." She tailed off into a giggle, an honest sound.

"Oh, the news crews are going to eat you up."

It wasn't just that the conversation right now was safe, it was fun. And silly. And Matt could be a snark but also a bit of a goof, and she liked that.

	"More like run in fear," he said. "If they don't, I mean, I can show them my mad-dog face or something." He bared his teeth; unfortunately, it looked more like a really ridiculous smile than a threat. "Thee? Ike thith." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maxxie giggled. "So imposing. Growl like that and people are more likely to ruffle your hair and go awwww than run in fear. Maybe you need to add in a growl." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He kept his teeth bared for a moment longer, but let his face collapse into mock sadness. "Too cute to be a killer, that's me. Also, who doesn't like head scritches and feeding? Don't think I"d want to know someone who fucking didn't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Someone who doesn't like to be touched. But he seemed to be asking for it, and she was curious what he would do if she did, so she reached out to lightly scritch his head, behind his ear, down to the nape of his neck. "But I'm not going to feed you unless you start to purr." (Reply to this) (Parent)
