Isabel's sitting on her bed reading. If anyone asks, she's reading court cases for Government. But if they look closely they might notice the copy of People she's trying to hide under the papers.

[Door's open!]

Bridge is wandering up on the fourth floor, in the vicinity of 406 for... no reason at all. None. Nope.

He knocks on the doorframe and peers in. "Hey, Isabel,"

"Hey Bridge!" Isabel replied. "What's up?"

"Not, um... not much. I was here and I saw the door was open and uh," he runs a hand through his hair "thought hey, haven't really talked to you in a while. Well, there was game night but then there was-"

he breaks off, blushing a little as he realises he's rambling.

"That's the reason the door's open," Isabel smiled. "It encourages people to stop by. Of course you have to worry about wandering bunnies with hug fetishes but it's a small price to pay. Did you have fun at Game Night?"

"I heard about the bunnies; didn't actually see any today, though." Bridge says. "And I did!" his smile... may have gotten slightly goofier. "Ended up with a third of the world and everything."

"I saw some dancing with Sam earlier today," Isabel laughed. "They hugged my feet. It was cute."

The goofy smile? Was adorable. "RISK was fun, we'll have to do it again one night. Hopefully my luck will be just a little better."

I wonder if they'll still be around tomorrow," Bridge muses. "And we totally should! I'll be there for sure. And um, I'll *try* not to start off the game with cheating next time. Which I totally did not do on purpose- I just, um-" he breaks off, waving a hand vaguely.

"Was distracted by the staring?" Isabel asked innocently. "I have no idea what was up with Xander. All those twinkies must be catching up with him."

Bridge's eyes go wide.

And he suddenly finds his feet pretty interesting.

"Maybe, yeah," he says, and look, there's the goofy grin again.

Isabel has a feeling she's going to hell, but she can't help herself. Because Bridge is suddenly reminding her of how Max would act whenever they would stop in the Crashdown for dinner and Liz would wait on their table in the days before the shooting. "Xander went down to the Perk for coffee. I hope he brings me a muffin back for breakfast."

Bridge looks back up.

"Um. Is he going to be back soon, do you think?" He can totally feel his cheeks getting redder. Because... it's one thing to talk to the guy you maybe admitted to having a crush on fairly recently when there's lots of people around. This? Would be totally different. Yeah.

"I don't know," she said. "We didn't really get a chance to talk much. Do you want to leave him a note or have me give him a message?"

"No, no, that's okay, I'm-" he stops. "...acting like a total goof, aren't I?"

"Just a bit," she said with a small laugh. After sliding some of her books and papers out of the way, she pulled her feet up and crossed them, leaving plenty of space at the foot of the bed. Isabel waved at the space, "Sit down, and spill. What's going on?"

Bridge sits on the bed and looks over at Isabel. "So, yeah. There's kind of- I kind of- I have a thing. For Xander."

It's... actually kind of nice to be able tell someone else that. Huh.

"I can understand why. He's a great guy," she said, looking down and studying her hands. "He was there for me when I needed a friend." She looked up at Bridge, "Have you told him?"

Date: 2006-04-07 04:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com
"Sort of?" Bridge says. "I mean, there was this thing, with kissing, and then things were all awkward, and then there was talking, and more awkward, and talking again." He looks down at *his* hands, idly fiddling with his gloves for a moment. "Well, that's the condensed version anyway."

There was kissing? Now that was news to Isabel. But it does sort of explain some things. Now she just has to figure out how to give advice and not have things wind up even more awkward. "Awkward is understandable," she said quietly. "I don't think he's ever really considered...." Her voice trailed off and she shrugged. "But there's no reason why he shouldn't."

"You think so?" Bridge tilts his head at her.

Date: 2006-04-07 04:59 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com
"I know so," she smiled. "You're a great guy, Bridge. And I'm sure I could pull anyone in out of the common room and they'd agree with me."

Bridge grins a little sheepishly. "Well, um... thanks." He runs a hand through his hair. "That's a lot of talking about me, though. What have you been up to? Other than seeing dancing bunnies, I mean."

"There's nothing to thank me for. It's the truth. As for what I've been up to?" She patted the papers next to her. "Homework. Lots and lots of homework. This week it's supreme court cases. Last week it was writing bills for Government and a take-home quiz for Westen Lit. I need to have some fun soon or I'm going to be leading the bunnies in the Macarena soon."

"That is totally making my head spin just thinking about it, dude. But... the sooner you get that stuff done, the sooner there will be time for fun, right?" he says, standing up.

"God, I hope so. I figure if I read enough of this stuff now, I can have my weekend to myself," she said. "That's if I can manage to stay awake. It's pretty dry."

"I should let you get back to that, then," Bridge says. "Thanks for listening to me babble at you."

"I don't want to, but it'll be worth it Saturday night when I can hang out." Isabel reached out and grabbed the stack of case summaries she'd printed out, "You know you can babble to me anytime, right? And for what it's worth? I hope it works out."

"That's the spirit," Bridge says with a grin. "I'll... well, I'll keep that in mind. Talk to you later!" He adds, and heads out with a wave.
