• It just so happened that she was fairly decent friends with his T.A. and had heard through the grapevine that he still had quite a few papers to grade. She had waited up for awhile to see if he would head home but she had figured out he probably wasn't that night and he usually didn't go to his place without calling and telling her. Being the sweetheart that she generally - unless her temper was riled - was, she knew she would feel bad about him being out grading papers while she was all snuggly in their bed so here she was in a pair of flannel pants and a hoodie, her hair tugged up in a ponytail. She ordered her own coffee before she slid in next to him, pulling a pen out of her pocket and smirking. "I brought my own red pen." (NT) -- Keila, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 3:25am PST

• He broke a slow grin when she joined him, and leaned over to kiss her jaw affectionately. "I was wondering if you would find me..." He had doubted that she would be sleeping, but hadn't wanted to risk calling her. He would have felt too bad if he woke her up. She had to work in the morning too. "I'm developing a new system, involving telekinesis. I don't even have to take the papers out of my bag. They practically grade themselves." He stated in all seriousness, and then just shrugged sheepishly and raised his coffee to his lips for a sip. "You don't like lit very much..." He reminded her with a warning tone to his voice and dropped his gaze pointedly to his still closed bag. If she was willing to help, he definitely wouldn't refuse, but felt she at least deserved to be cautioned about what she was getting herself into. (NT) -- Aiden, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 3:39am PST

• Remember she asked you...remember to breathe -- Keila, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 3:48am PST
  • "I noticed..." He promised, and then broke a sly grin, one brow raised. "But I'm not sure if that's more encouragement or distraction. I'll get back to you on that." At her prompting though, he dug into his bag and pulled out the stack of papers. It took him a moment to separate the graded from the not graded, and then he handed her a few - so he wasn't the most organized, but he had his way of doing things and it seemed to work just fine. "I looked for you after my last class but it went late and you'd already left... You have an okay day?" It was hard enough for him to keep his own schedule straight, sometimes he just couldn't remember hers, so most of the time he just strolled by the parking lot to see if her car was there or not. It worked just fine. (NT) -- Aiden, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 3:52am PST

• She shrugged a little, a smile on her face as she spoke. "It was non evantful, my class is going really well, the kids are really great." She grabbed a paper off the top of the pile and settled back into the chair, grumping a little. "You couldn't have picked a couch to sit in?" She teased lightly, sticking her tongue out playfully before she settled back into the chair again, yawning softly as she started reading over the paper, making marks here and there. Most of the kids in the higher level class were there because they were good students so it wasn't that bad it was just a lot of reading about subjects she wasn't really interested in. She was more interested in getting it done and going back home with him to cuddle in bed before they fell asleep. (NT) -- Keila, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 6:19pm PST

• "Couches are too relaxing. This is serious stuff." He stated with a small grin, but in all truth, though it hadn't been so much of a big decision - it just seemed like the logical choice to sit at one of these tables. She would survive. "These don't actually have to be done tomorrow..." He admitted part way through his second paper, pausing his readying to look up and shrug almost sheepishly - he wasn't sure if she knew that or not, but figured he should probably just check. Either way, he was thankful for her help - it would make his next day or two a little easier if she helped him get through some of these. He wasn't above conning her into helping him out, and she was always so willing. (NT) -- Aiden, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 9:23pm PST

• She ran her tongue slowly across her lips at that, bringing her eyes up to him as she cocked her head to the side, setting down the pen calmly. Her eyes evened on his after she looked up at the clock above his head. "You mean, we're sitting up at quarter to one in the morning in a slightly chilly, little to bright at the moment, uncomfortable chair having cafe to grade papers that don't have to be done by tomorrow morning?" She questioned seriously, her tone a little incredulous. She didn't aggravated by him very often but it did happen occasionally. (NT) -- Keila, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 9:58pm PST

• Sometimes he forgot how much she appreciated her sleep - and how little she enjoyed missing out on it for no real reason. He himself never cared much about going short on rest. At her question, he shifted a little uncomfortably, a sheepish grin lingering over his lips as he met her gaze slowly - almost a little reluctantly. "Yeah... No, no they don't... I just wasn't tired - thought I would get some work done." He admitted slowly, his gaze dropping to fiddle with his coffee mug - not unlike a guilty child awaiting his punishment. He hadn't really realized it was so late. One hand ran through his hair and twisted absently in the short messy strands as he watched her, almost grimacing.

• She sighed deeply, shaking her head and putting the cap back down onto her pen and then pushed his coffee to him. "You can have the rest of my coffee, I am going home and going to bed." She stood, pulling her purse over her shoulder and then digging out her keys. She looked down, not really angry so much as grumpy and a little disgruntled. "I'll see you in the morning?" She probably wouldn't wake up when he came in, she was pretty good about sleeping through anything, she really did enjoy her sleep. She had come out because she had thought the papers were due in the morning and she didn't want him stressing over it but now she was just agitated over her lack of proper sleep.

• "Keila.." He protested meekly, and then just nodded a little. It was good that she rarely got irritated with him, because he always reacted poorly to it. He tended to be overly sensitive when it came to her getting upset with him, and so never really knew what to do. "Might just sleep at my place... I'll see you tomorrow sometime." He really didn't see how this was such a big deal that she needed to be mad at him. It wasn't like he had been keeping her up or had asked her to come help him. She had just shown up on her own. He slowly reached for the stuff that she had been working on and just added it to his own pile to go through when he got around to it. (NT) -- Aiden, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 10:53pm PST

• She paused with her keys in her hand, looking down at him with a furrowed brow. "Thats silly.." She murmured, leaning down to press a kiss to his lips. "Just come home to me?" She requested softly, her head cocked to the side as she took a breath and waited for his reply. She had gotten to the point that she didn't like awaking in the morning without his arms around her and having their 'morning time' before work. She bit her lip, feeling a little self conscious about her need for him to be there so she just shrugged. "I mean, unless you don't want too." She stated, smiling a little sheepishly.

• He could never stay perturbed for long though, and so at her kissed followed by her timid request, he nodded a little and gave her fingers a gentle squeeze. "Sure... It's okay. I'll just finish up these couple and then be there." He assured her without hesitation, because when she asked nicely it was nearly impossible for him to deny her anything that she wanted and he could provide to her. He, of course, also much preferred spending the night with her in his arms, but he could be stubborn, unless she reacted like this - just simply asked him to join her at home.
