Characters: Kevin, Bobby
Setting: The kitchen of the mansion
Content: Bobby suddenly gets an impromptu idea about his and Kevin's powers
Status: Incomplete, and I say "semi"-closed. Characters could tag in after the interactions w/ Bobby and Kevin if you so desire! - Iris

[Band practice just finished, and even though Dazzler's rehearsal area doesn't have the intolerably hot lights of a real stage, Kevin's pretty sweaty and really needs to hydrate. Clad in a black wifebeater with his gloves sticking out of his back pocket and jacket slung over his shoulder (he probably looks something like this), he dashes into the kitchen confident he won't be bumping into anybody in the large space there. It is a mansion, after all!

With the pantry doors clattering noisily he runs the faucet and throws open the freezer. The ice cube tray cracks as he sprays ice cubes everywhere, most of them landing into his cup of water. The noise has attracted somebody to the kitchen, and -- oh, nope. It's Bobby. He's not here to tell Kevin to shut up; he's here to eat more ice cream.]

Oops, sorry. Hey, hold on a second. Let me put my gloves and jacket on.

[Kevin holds his arm out in a "be careful!" motion while pulling on his gloves.]

[Bobby shrugs and reaches around him to grab his ice cream, being careful not to touch Kevin's skin.]

It's okay man, I'll just be careful. I got used to it.

[He's referring to the time he spent with Rogue, pre-Cure, because - yeah. Not touching another dude's skin is way easier than not touching your own girlfriend's skin.]

Oh, right. Man, I forgot you'd totally get that. Thanks for reminding me.

I'll put this on anyway.

[Bobby looks thoughtfully at the ice cubes - Kevin touched them with his bare hands and nothing happened to them.]

Hey - do you think if I was in my ice form... you could touch me?

I think we should probably not perform that experiment. You're not exactly just plain ice.

Maybe not, but I'm pretty sure I could put myself together again if it doesn't work out... Worse comes to worst, we'll just get Josh.

[He raises an eyebrow at Kevin.]

You wanted to learn how to use your power better, didn't you?

Yeah, I've been practicing. But that's definitely no reason for you to be offering yourself up to experimentation! Especially when the answer to "What's the worst that could happen?" is death!

[To be honest, Bobby finds Kevin's dramatics kind of wearying. He fights the urge to roll his eyes.]

Seriously, man. It's okay. If you only touch me for a couple of seconds, it won't be enough to kill me, especially if you're controlling it. Just give it a go.

[He changes his arm to ice and holds it out, palm facing upwards.]

If you say so... I mean, water and ice don't decay.

Nothing's happening.

[To be honest, Bobby is a little surprised himself - he hadn't expected anything particularly bad to happen, but he hadn't expected absolutely nothing either.]

Good sign, right?

Good sign!

Awesome! Hey, and if you're practicing in ice form, that's one less person I have to worry about killing to death in training!

[Seeing Kevin grinning is actually kind of a rare sight, and it's contagious. Bobby smiles as he switches back to his normal form and digs his spoon into his ice cream.]

Well, seeing as I'm almost always in ice form in the DR, you can definitely count that as a win.

Yeah, for sure. I mean, I'll still be careful, of course, don't worry about that -- but it's nice to know there's like an extra layer of protection.

Glad to help you out with some peace of mind.

[Bobby raises his spoon in a pseudo toast and smiled.]

Thanks, Bobby. I appreciate it. I have to say that I never really thought about the fact that you would probably understand me better than... a lot of others.

[He shrugs a little and his smile takes on a slightly sad tinge.]

I wouldn't say I totally understand... but yeah. I get the frustration.

I guess I'd be a terrible person for saying that it's nice that some people do get it. Misery loves company, and all. But I guess, just, I'm glad you kind of know where I'm coming from.

No, I get that. And... yeah. If you ever need a sympathetic ear...

[He leaves the offer unfinished, and shovels more ice cream into his mouth.]

I think I'd like that.

[Bobby smiles. He thinks maybe he doesn't give Kevin enough credit. Seems like the guy needs some good friends.]

Anytime, man. You know where to find me.

[He grins and indicates the kitchen, because... yeah. He's always in here.]

Yeah, you really go through the stuff...

[Bobby laughs.]

Yeah, it's a good thing I'm in the DR every day, or this stuff would definitely be taking its toll!

[He takes another bite and swallows before going on.]

Hey, I'm not sure if I told you this, but the gig in London was awesome. You guys are great.

Yeah? Thanks! It was too much fun. As soon as we were done we were already thinking about what we're going to play next. You get a free wristband again, of course.

Yeah, keep putting me on the VIP lists. I'm looking forward to the day I get to say "I went to school with those guys."

[The trademark crooked smile is back!]

And the X-Men, too! Don't forget!

As if I ever could. It's our whole lives.

[Bobby smirks and polishes off the rest of the ice cream.]

a. you are SUCH a spoilerfest LOL
b. Killed to death is reserved for people hwo call him Kev-Kev, Kevvie, or Kevvie'wevvie. GET THIS STRIAGHT.
c. I love this whole thread. Carry on. :D

a. haha sorry, I don't think it's a big deal here though, since a few of us already talked about it in the dinner thread?

gosh I will never EVER forgive you ;P
You know I'm just kidding!
