Room 406, all day

It hadn't been a bad last week in Fandom. Between being social, seals, presents, and reality TV, it was certainly memorable. Even if the good-byes weren't so much fun.

There wasn't much left to pack. But Isabel was taking her time doing it.

The door was open.

[OOC: Good-bye post. *sniffles* Assume handwavey phone calls. ETA: Random bouts of SP for the rest of the afternoon due to RL.]

"You," she smiled, zipping up her bag and setting it aside. "How are you?"

He shrugged a shouler, going for nonchalance. "Can't complain. But how are you?"

"Hanging in there. Just trying to finish up packing," Isabel replied, holding out her hand. "But I could use a break."

Johnny stepped in and took her hand, his warm. "I'm not good at this sort of thing, not by a long shot."

"And you think I am?" she asked, squeezing his hand. "I'm just pretty good at faking it."

His other hand wrapped over hers, so that he cupped her small hand between his. "I can't believe this day is here."

"It could be worse," Isabel said, leaning into him. "I'm only going to school. Last year, when I left to go back to our planet, it was a lot harder. Because I didn't think I'd be coming back."

"And you'll be coming back here, to visit? You'll write? Call? Won't forget the ass I've totally been?"

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Might be easier if you come visit me," she told him. "And it's Vegas. So we could have fun. But I promise, I'll call. And write. And come back and thwap you if you need it."

He chuckled. "Vegas. I can totally do Vegas." Johnny gave her a serious look. "You can thwap me anytime I need it. Which? Was just last week."

"We'll go dancing."

Isabel shook her head and lightly punched his shoulder with her free hand. "You still do. You and Savannah need to talk."

[identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dancing? I maybe can do that. If it's slow."

He covered his shoulder after she punched him. "Ow," he feigned hurt. "I... know."

"Baby," she teased gently. "Good. And listen as well. That's just as important."

[identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"What? Come on, I listen." Just when he felt like it.

"I'm going to miss you."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Really listen," Isabel said before hugging him tightly. "I'm going to miss you to. Most of all I think."

[identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Johnny hugged her, tight, closing his eyes and sighing deeply. Her words managed to close up his throat.

"You're speechless?" she teased, trying to keep herself from tearing up.

Pulling back, he held his hands upon her upper arms, and stared down into her beautiful face. "Maybe a little," he whispered. "Take care of yourself, sweetheart."

"I'm going to do my best. I've already had enough trouble to last a lifetime," Isabel admitted.

"You and me both. I'm going to head off now. You call me," he said going in for one more hug before he turned to head towards the door. There was so much he would have liked to say. She was one of the first girls he liked when he came here. None of it was appropriate to mention, but he was thinking it.

Not only would he get a hug, but a soft kiss as well. It wasn't as if she didn't have some of the same thoughts as well. But more importantly he'd been fun and a friend when she needed a distraction. Everything else that came after was just icing on the proverbial cake.

"Love you," she said quietly.

[identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Love you," he returned, his voice just as quiet as he reached a hand to caress her cheek gently. Then Johnny smiled and slipped out of her room.

Isabel watched him leave before putting her head down and rubbing her eyes. That one hurt.
