thirty-two detention slips

[delincuente]

Who: Alex delincuente and Sirius heirofficium
What: Valentine's Day date
When: February 14th, 7:00 PM
Where: Outside the castle
Rating: PG+ for dumb dating teens


[It's been forever since Alex went on a first date, and she's got to admit - it's a bit more daunting than it used to be. She gets to the front of the castle at 6:58, already wishing that she'd worn shoes more suited to the snow (she's an NYC girl, what was she thinking when she put on suede??), and sits down on the steps to wait. While she waits, she absently draws little designs in the snow built up on the stone.

Jeez, it's been forever since she went on one of these things. Almost two years, she counts, since the beginning of her relationship with Mason. But as long as Sirius doesn't turn into a wolf and run off with a vampire, he's already one step ahead.]

[ Sirius smiles to himself as he heads through the lobby, wished-up bouquet in hand, eyes locked on the large doors in front of him. It's only been about 5 months or so since Sirius was last on a first date- but let's be honest, he's had a lot of them, and not even in a bad way.

As he pushes the doors open, he gives a confident grin when he sees Alex sitting on the stairs, even lovelier than she usually looks. ]

You haven't been sitting there long, have you?

[delincuente]

Long enough to freeze my butt halfway off.

[She smiles, though, and pulls herself to her feet. When she sees the flowers, she puts on her best faux-bashful grin.]

Aww, you shouldn't have.

wow i suck, i'm so sorry!!! if you still want to do this i don't mind backtagging ;;;;

[heirofficium]

Aw, poor thing. I'm so sorry, doll.

[ He grins back, handing them to her gently. ]

Ahh, even if I shouldn't have, it's the nice thing to do, am I wrong?

[ He offers his arm for her. ] Shall we, then?

no big deal at all! :) i will backtag into oblivion

[delincuente]

[She takes the flowers and sniffs them, a bit gracelessly. But that's what you're supposed to do, right? When a guy gives you flowers that aren't plastic?]

Hey, I'm not complaining!

[All this and an arm too?? What a gentleman. Alex puts on her best dramatically impressed face before laughing and taking his arm.]

We shall, indeed!

yaaaaaaay oblivion tagging.

[heirofficium]

[ He chuckles a little as he watches her sniff the flowers. ]

Never said you were!

[ He gives her an odd look- it's her bad impression again- but lets out that barklike laugh of his as they set off toward town. ]

Onward and dateward, lass.

[delincuente]

[For the look and the laugh, she sticks her tongue out at him.]

You laugh like a dog.

[It's meant to be an insult - not a strangely accurate observation.]

backtagging = A+

[heirofficium]

[ He chuckles and casts a surreptitious glance her way as the snow crunches under their feet, a wry smile starting to curl his mouth. ]

That's only fitting, I suppose.

[delincuente]

Yeah?

[She looks over at him, remembering clearly the note he sent her several weeks ago, signed only with a pawprint.]

What's with you and dogs, anyway? Are you a werewolf, too?
