[OPEN POST] vivaaaaa las vegas

Characters: Julian Keller, you!
Setting: Your dorm room door.
Content: Look this is the start of an epic vacation. Get in line.
Status: Open and incomplete.
Thread-jacking: JACK AWAY.
NOTE: Those tagged are the doors he's knocking on. If your character is not tagged, you're free to throw them in the mix another way.


[Sometimes... Julian is impulsive, rash, and just plain extravagant for the sake of being extravagant. This doesn't necessarily explain why he's knocking on your door, but it's about to.]

IDK why I'm tagging during finals. Clearly I've gone bonkers. Again.

[Rogue's not really surprised that it's Julian knocking and she greets him with a smile as she opens her door.] Hey sugah, what's up?

Damn you for telling me about this post. :(

Oh? [She raises an eyebrow as she folds her arms across her chest; she knows that smirk.] I just might have an answer.

[The other eyebrow shoots up in surprise. She's not quite sure what she'd expected but this certainly wasn't it. There was a beat before she took a step or two backwards, an unspoken invitation for him to come in.] All of us? [There's an obvious question in her voice and it's not just for the one question she asked. Rogue's a girl who likes her questions and who really likes getting her answers. Don't judge.]

[Rogue nods, fairly sure that there's more to it but deciding to leave it be for the time being in favour an amused smile and light tone.] Ain't it a rule that the team's not allowed to take a break without trouble following? Actually, speakin' of which, where were you thinkin' of going?

[Oh hey. The raised eyebrow is back and her expression is torn between surprised and amused.]

Now I know you've definitely gone crazy, sugah.

Yeah, I know. [Her hands find his chest automatically as he pulls her towards him. Green eyes look off to the side, avoiding his as her teeth begin to tug at her bottom lip.] You sure there ain't more to this than just taking a break as a team?

[She doesn't say anything, her gaze shifting up to his for a brief moment before dropping again. The lip biting stops as she tries to simultaneously consider question at hand and also try to push away the rising tension within her. It's not exactly a successful effort on either front.]

[She moves back a minuscule distance, not even realising that she is. They've been avoiding the issue for at least a month now if not two and she's still no more eager to go into it now than she was before. It's a moment before she finally manages to flick her gaze up again, keeping it there this time.] So Vegas. Did you talk to anyone else yet? [It's an attempt to change the conversation and a really poor one at that. Nothing in her demeanor's changed and her tone is strained.]

[Rogue lets out the breath she didn't even realise that she'd been holding in a soft whoosh of air. Her hands leave his chest, one brushing against his on her hair before dropping. She shakes her head, shrugging just a little.]

I don't know.

[It's not so much a lie as it's an inability to even begin to try and put all of this mess into words. She shakes her head again, taking a few steps back and half turning away. Her tone is soft and unsure as she repeats herself.] I just don't know.

[identity profile] canstillkickass.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets her attention and her head snaps around to look at him.] What? No. No, you didn't. And I'm not.

[She drops down onto her bed, gloved hands starting to toy with each other in her lap.]

Touch? Make love? Be a normal couple? [There's a great deal more than just a touch of emotion in Rogue's voice. Some of it's tension, some of it's irritation, some of it's anger, and a lot of it is self loathing. She grits her teeth for a moment, hands curling into fists for a brief moment before flattening against her thighs.] Yeah. I know.

[identity profile] canstillkickass.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
There's another way to say it? [The words are sharp but the anger within them isn't directed at him. It never is when this particular issue comes up.]

We'll make sure not to break this rule ;) hehehe.
