Assistants' Lounge, Wed 18

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

With only one class to worry about, Angel had plenty of time to hang out and do nothing pay close attention to his studies.

Currently he was curled up on the couch and reading a large, old, dusty book.

For fun.

Weirdo.

Sean, possessed of a better sense of fun than his dad, was chasing a ball around on the floor.

There was fresh coffee brewing.

[Lounge is for TAs, library/clinic helpers, yadda, yadda, yadda...]

"John told me I could shove fruit up my... well, you get the idea." Angel looked downcast.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Ouch," Cameron winced. "I haven't even spoken to John since then. Well, I did for one second, but that really wasn't on my mind at the time."

"We might've come to an accord," Angel said. "'course that doesn't mean I'm leaving my hair gel out where he can find it."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Probably a good idea," Cameron nodded. "Maybe there's a way we can make up for it? Uh, one that doesn't involve buying stuff. I'm still broke."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I've got some money," Angel said. "'course everything's really expensive and in my day you could buy a gun for... um. Nevermind."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"You're gonna buy a gun?" Cameron blinked.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Maybe? For Aeryn?" Angel shrugged. "Still not sure if that's a smart idea or just encouraging her to try to hurt me."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Trust me, she doesn't need a gun if she wants to hurt you, man." Cameron stifled another yawn.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I do not doubt that," Angel agreed. He sighed. "This was such a good idea in theory."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"It was," Cameron nodded sadly. "Your drawings were good too and the books were great. It would have worked if Aeryn hadn't walked in. Maybe." He frowned. "Okay, maybe not. I'm thinking of never giving sex advice again."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I was going to try avoiding talking altogether."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"That's probably because you're smarter than me," Cameron leaned his head back against the couch and closed his eyes. "How about we make them dinner?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel thought about it. "That... could actually work. Whatcha got in mind?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron turned his head and cracked open an eye so he could look at Angel. "Something romantic, you know? We make them something delicious, set up the room to give it some atmosphere and then make ourselves scarce so they can have a quiet even to themselves? Uh, if you have somewhere else to go, that is."

"I've got a date with Callisto coming up," Angel said. "If we did it that night I'd at least be busy for a few hours while they had the room."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"That would work out. When's the date?" Deciding that keeping one eye open cost too much energy, he closed it again.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"End of this week," Angel said "Friday or Saturday depending on confirming something with some other players"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"There are kinda plans for Saturday going on, but I'll have to check if they're exclusive or not. Alright, do you know any recipes beisde omelettes?" Cameron asked.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm gonna be a little busy this weekend too, probably Saturday but I have to double check I can do some basic stuff," Angel said. "If it involves throwing meat in an oven or onto a hot surface I've got it covered."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Is spaghetti too simple?" Cameron asked. "It is kinda romantic if we get some red wine and I totally know the best dessert ever..."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No, no, I think that's romantic," Angel said. "Just - uh - don't ask me to help with the garlic bread."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Uh, so garlic isn't a myth?" Cameron asked. "I could ask my..." He trailed off and realised that really wasn't something to bother her about. "I'll see if I can find a good recipe. Shouldn't be too hard."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"It won't kill me but it doesn't attract me either," Angel said. "What about dessert? Maybe get a cake from that bakery in town?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Well no, but it stinks. It hardly attracts anyone," Cameron considered the cake. "I was kinda more thinking of Chocolate is my life. I made it for Aeryn once and she liked it."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What's in that?"
