Room 406, Sunday morning

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel woke up, warm and comfortable. Yesterday had been fun. There was cheerleader bonding in Buffy's room before the game. The basketball game was a lot of fun. Then there was the after party. Afterwards she and Greg had come back up to her room to watch some downloaded episodes of Mr. What, during which they'd apparently fallen asleep.

She sighed with contentment and waited for Greg to wake up.

"Mrphnfivemoreminutes," Greg mumbled, curling closer and tightening his arm around her a little.

Isabel kissed his chin, smiled and snuggled closer.

Greg cracked an eyelid.

"Morning," he mumbled, kissing her temple.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Morning," she said. "Looks like we fell asleep."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Either that, or Mr. What took a turn for the dark in their episodes. Dark as in 'the insides of my eyelids' dark," Greg replied, raising a brow sleepily.

"We had a long day yesterday, falling asleep was a natural response to all the energy we put out. We needed to rebuild our strength," she said, making absolutely no attempt to use any of that rebuilt strength by moving.

"Well, yes. And I don't know about you, but I had quite a bit of coffee and sugar. So we crashed. It's a completely natural biochemical reaction," he said, stretching languidly and also not moving to get up.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Same here," Isabel admitted. "Too many cookies. I'm glad you crashed here though. It was nice." She grinned then, and moved just enough to prop her head up on her hand. "I love it when you talk science to me."

Greg blushed. "Really? The geekiness isn't annoying?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's adorable," she assured him. "And it's part of who you are. So how could I not?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg smiled, blushing darker as he reached over to move a little hair off her face.

And since he couldn't think of anything useful to say, he kissed her.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel smiled as his lips met hers. Her free hand drifted up to the back of his neck as she lightly ran her fingers through his hair.

Greg smiled against her mouth, and let one hand drift to rest on her waist as he kissed her.

He pulled back a little, bumping his nose to hers. "I like waking up like this," he noted quietly.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I do to," she admitted just as quietly, staying close to him. "It's nice."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Well, and you're much cuter to wake up with than Peter," Greg noted. "But don't tell him I said that. Don't want to hurt his feelings."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

That made her laugh. "Never," Isabel replied in between giggles. "He has such delicate feelings. I'd never want to do anything that might hurt them. Besides, it's against the best friend code."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

He paused. "Don't tell Zero, either. She sounds fiesty and might get upset with me on his behalf."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"She would," Isabel said seriously. "And fiesty might be an understatement. Just ask anyone who had an overdue library book. But I'd protect you from mallet wielding punk singers," she promised. "If you want me to that is."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg asked the natural question.

"...mallet?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"A croquet mallet," Isabel stated. "It was her way of getting around the weapons ban. I think she intended to use it against gremlins back when we had a gremlin problem. I don't know if she had an opportunity to use it."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'll be sure to keep from providing her with one," Greg decided, cuddling a little closer and nuzzling her neck.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Good idea," she said a little breathlessly. She shivered when Greg found a particularly sensitive spot and decided to repay the feeling by nibbling gently on his earlobe.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg smiled as he kissed a trail from her where her shoulder met her neck up to her mouth.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel met his lips briefly before deciding that turnabout was fair play. With a smile she began to kiss a path over to his ear and then down his neck.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"...yep, definitely in favor of waking up this way," Greg murmured, running a hand through her hair.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It could be a Saturday night thing," she offered quietly, tipping her head up to look at him. "It' not like I have a roommate that would mind."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

He looked at her and smiled. "I'd like that," he said quietly. "I'd offer up 313 for such an occasion, but I think it might be weird with my roommate around, BFF or no."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's officially a thing then," Isabel smiled, reaching up with her hand to brush her fingertips over his lips. "And here is definitely better. If we were in your room, I wouldn't be able to do this." She demonstrated by looping her arms around his neck and kissing him once more.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Well, you could, but we'd get stared at," Greg murmured against her lips before deepening the kiss a little.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel agreed with Greg so instead of replying, she concentrated on the kiss, sighing happily against his lips.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg smiled a little and nipped at her lower lip, tangling idle fingers in her hair.

Greg might kind of have a thing about hair.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She'd never admit to purring. But Isabel did make a noise that was suspiciously purr-like. She pulled back for a minute and rested her forehead against his. "So, have any plans for the day?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking of rearranging my sock drawer," he said seriously. "But otherwise, no."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"The sock drawer can wait," Isabel smiled. "Because I don't plan on getting up anytime soon and company would be nice." She leaned around to nip at his earlobe again. "Of course if it's utterly dire that the drawer gets rearranged right now. You can leave. I'll survive."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"It can wait," he decided, turning to kiss her again. "There are much, much more pressing matters to attend to."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Good priorities," she murmured against his lips as she ran her fingers through his hair.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Prioritizing is 'mportant," he mumbled, pulling her a little closer as we fade to black, yays."
