craftylildoodlepumpkinIt's midnight when someone starts pounding at her door.
Jules was wearing pink bunny pyjamas and some cold cream, and had been having a dream about being a gold medal gymnast in the Olympics when she wrenched herself up out of bed to answer the door.
With a gun in her hand.
She has a feeling she knows who it is, but you can never be too sure.

He'd at least have called first.
As it is, he's basically on the brink of Flail.

"Shawn!"

He waves a hand vaguely to indicate the whole general situation.
"Can I come in?"

Date: 2011-06-24 07:04 am (UTC)He flops down onto the sofa, clinging to one of her throw pillows for comfort.
Yes, he really is this pathetic.

Date: 2011-06-24 07:07 am (UTC)"Come here," she tells him, sitting down beside him. She has a feeling she's going to be his substitute My Buddy doll for awhile.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-24 07:11 am (UTC)He takes a deep breath. Now would be a good time for hugs.
"And tonight I got to thinking... if I'm this lonely when he hasn't even been gone a whole day, what if something did happen?"
Which it WON'T. But what if...
no subject
Date: 2011-06-24 07:14 am (UTC)"Nothing's going to happen to Gus. Not until you're both old and grey and confusing Lassiter by hiding his false teeth."
She has to kind of grab him over by his shoulder to get a hug in, and the throw pillow is digging into her breast, but it's a half-hug.

Date: 2011-06-24 07:17 am (UTC)"I get that here..." he taps his temple. "Doesn't really help much,"
he returns the awkward hug gratefully.

Date: 2011-06-25 04:40 am (UTC)"I'm gonna go after him."

Date: 2011-06-26 01:41 am (UTC)He leans back against her. Platonic snuggles are nice.
"I'm not really used to people getting on board with my plans so quickly."

Date: 2011-06-26 01:51 am (UTC)"The worst thing that could happen is a broken heart this time. It's not like you'll accidentally shoot each other or be eaten by werewolves."
no subject
Date: 2011-06-26 02:32 am (UTC)Admit it - being eaten by a werewolf would be a pretty bitchin' way to die.

Date: 2011-06-26 02:52 am (UTC)He leans back reluctantly.
"I should go now."
There's a last-minute flight to book.

Date: 2011-06-26 02:57 am (UTC)Pause.
"I may need you to take me to the airport, though."
no subject
Date: 2011-06-26 02:59 am (UTC)She nods, eyebrow up. "I'll take you when you're ready." She's also thinking about her nice bed getting colder at this point, too.

Date: 2011-06-26 03:02 am (UTC)"Thanks. I owe you big time."
