Las Vegas, Tuesday evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Knowing she'd be coming back from the weekend and facing exams bright and early Monday morning, Isabel was actually studying during study week.

Of course studying meant study breaks. Which explained why she was currently planing crops on her Facebook farm.

[Expecting a call but open for other interruptions.]

"Could share that shower," Wyatt offered.

"You've seen that shower. I'm not that limber." Not that they knew from experience or anything.

[blessed_twice]

"True," Wyatt mused. "I could dry you off instead?"

"There is that spot on my back I have a hard time reaching," she mused. "Sounds like a plan."

[blessed_twice]

"Give me two minutes," Wyatt said. It was actually more like 45 seconds before he orbed into Isabel's dorm room.

Isabel turned from where she'd been locking the door using her alien-fu. Sarah wasn't due back till the morning, but it didn't hurt to make sure they weren't going to be interrupted.

"You're just in time for Deadliest Catch," Isabel smiled. "A perfect snuggle opportunity."

Wyatt pulled her into a hug. "You, me, hardened fishermen, and crabs? I'm not sure how romantic that sounds."

"It's a different kind of romance. I'm just happy to be with you," she replied, leaning into him. "I'm looking forward to the weekend for that reason."

"Graduation weekend?" Wyatt said, nuzzling her neck. "Did you book a room yet? I haven't."

"I figured as much. So I did," Isabel answered. She purred lightly as Wyatt nuzzled her neck, enjoying the feeling. "Have you talked to Chris? Maybe he and Summer want to have dinner Friday night?"

[blessed_twice]

"No, I haven't," Wyatt said, shrugging. "Figured he'd be too busy getting ready for graduation and all that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exams were over last week. The only thing he needs to do to get ready for graduation now is to stock up on weapons," said the voice of someone who'd been to three Fandom graduations.

"What do you think is going to happen this year?" Wyatt asked. La la la, don't mind him redirecting the subject.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Ghouls maybe. But you're changing the subject." Isabel paused for a moment, then mentally shrugged and decided to forge ahead. "When was the last time you talked to him?"

[blessed_twice]

"His daughter with Johnny called not long ago," Wyatt pointed out.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I was there for that. It doesn't count." Pulling back a bit, Isabel studied Wyatt for a long moment. "How are you guys going to live together this summer if you won't talk to him?"

[blessed_twice]

"I don't think he wants to talk to me," Wyatt said with just a trace of bitterness. He shrugged again. "Whatever."

Stubborn, stubborn boys... "You haven't called him, so I take it you're suddenly psychic that you know this?"

[blessed_twice]

"He hasn't called me," Wyatt pointed out. "I get to hear about his escapades second hand."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Where's the rule that you have to keep score of who calls who first?" she asked. "Just pick up the damn phone."

[blessed_twice]

"He has issues," Wyatt said stubbornly. Pot, kettle.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel rolled her eyes. "You both have the exact same issues. I know you're both freaked out about all this alternate reality stuff. But ignoring it and ignoring each other isn't going to help things."

"My own brother thinks I'm going to turn evil," Wyatt said. "It's kinda hard to strike up a casual conversation when that's looming over you."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Then forget casual and have a serious conversation," she told him. "Tell him what happened when you got portal napped. Tell him what your grandfather said. Or are you not talking to him either?"

[blessed_twice]

"Of course I'm taking to him," Wyatt said, not quite hiding his irritation. Mostly because he knew Isabel was right, but he was stubborn.
