Characters: Julian Keller, you.
Setting: The mansion's den.
Content: The most boring movie in the world is being watched. By Julian Keller.
Status: Open and Incomplete.


[After trying to read Jane Eyre, then trying to read Jane Slayre (only marginally better), then trying to read the CliffNotes and feeling a tad pathetic about giving up so completely, Julian is now watching the movie Jane Eyre on the couch in the den. No one else is around, because it's almost one in the morning on a Tuesday.

But Julian Keller does what he has to do okay. And right now that thing is trying not to fall asleep watching this movie. Look at his face. He... hates this movie so much.]

You do know that there are always changes between the book and the movie, right sugah?

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[Shit, he's been caught. But surprise, surprise, Julian doesn't even care. He looks up with pretty much spaced eyes, shaken from the horridness that is plain Jane. When he registers it's Rogue and she's snarking at him, he instantly breaks out into a sarcastic smile.]

Of course I know that, sugar. Maybe I was just watching the movie because I enjoyed reading the book so much.

[canstillkickass.livejournal.com]

Really.



So what did you think of the part where she finds her mother?

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, Rogue. Why are you asking him such hard questions? He just gives her a "seriously? no, seriously?" look. And siiiighs.]

Isn't her mom dead or something?

[canstillkickass.livejournal.com]

So you got to page three at least.



You know I'm not going to help you with your essay unless you actually read the book, yeah?

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[As opposed to...? Listen Julian's feeling quite irritable too, so this'll be fun. He's only been doing nothing but trying to muddle through two books to find some semblance of sense in them. For little Miss Irritable. His tone is slightly teasing, but also quite weary.]

You know, I resent that. I read the book, sugar. I didn't get about 90% of it, but I read the book. It's the only thing I've been doing since you told me to read the thing, sweetheart. [And he finishes this off with a humorless "yeah I'm a smart cookie" smile.]

[canstillkickass.livejournal.com]

Just as long as you be somewhat intelligent when you write about it.

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[Of course she just said that. He just raises his brow as her and then looks back at the screen blindly as she passes and is just... so goddamn annoyed at how bitchy she can get.

And then because he's Julian Keller, he lets out an aggravated sigh and gets off the couch to follow her into the kitchen.]

Excuse me, sweetheart.

[Yeah, he's smiling like a cocky bastard and knowing how much he's irritating her with his presence. That's why he makes sure to invade her personal space when he reaches over the stove for a glass from the cabinet. He's thirsty.]

[canstillkickass.livejournal.com]

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[WHAT THE FUCK. He grunts and steps back with very much a WHAT THE FUCK face. But he recovers from the overall pain and surprise, because he's a real man.]

Now what the hell was that for?

[canstillkickass.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm sorry-- were you there?

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[KSJFHK;ASDJG OH GOD WHAT A--Julian just stands there, glaring at her, looking like he either wants to yell obscenities or fuck her brains out, and then quite vindictively reaches for the cabinet again and pulls out a glass.

Then he just hovers there right over her and just... glares down at her smart-ass little face.]

Now you're in my way. [And he... gestures to the sink behind her.]

[canstillkickass.livejournal.com]

[kickasstelekine.livejournal.com]

[He just stands there, way too close for comfortable, and pointedly watches her impatiently until she finally scoots out of the way.]

Thank you.

[And then he slips by her to the sink to get his water.]
