OOC;; This is for epitome of amazingness, Vivian Richards, only.

The bell rung. Ah, a welcome relief for the Slater boy, as he stood up, and giving a salute towards the teacher as a method for saying goodbye, he dashed up to the dorms. The Mihael door swung open upon himself giving the password, and as he took two steps at a time, he reached the Boy Dorms easily. He discarded his textbooks, because knowing that if he had tried sending them to his dorms, well, it would have gotten lost in transmission indeed. And heaven knows that Brendan showed no intent in wanting to lose his notes there.

As he left the common room, this time not with books but rather with food; he minimized them, reducing their size, and stored them in his pocket, ready to resize when he got to the Muggle Electronics Room. A smile appeared on his face at the thought of where they were going, he was going in fact. Possibly the closest place he would be able to go to where he could be at his element. He was Muggleborn through and through, in the city of New York. Hogwarts, being an enchanted place, prevented most of his muggle devices, including his cell and iPod from working anywhere. That is, till the MER appeared. A place for Muggleborn students to feel at home - that be the true purpose of the place. As he waited outside for Viv, he guessed that she probably was taking time to do "girl" things.

You know, what girls usually did and all.

[vivian]

As Vivian got ready in her dorm room, she wondered what was going to happen in the MER with Brendan. She really did like him, and she could only hope that he felt the same. At one point in time, she had thought that he had a crush on Kamy, but she was now dating Carter Brody. Brendan was...awesome...In fact, he was the epitome of awesomeness. A small smile curved the corners of Vivian's pale pink lips upward as she ran her fingers through her long ebony hair. Yes, she was finally finished getting ready. She had to admit that she looked really pretty. She was dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans, a light pink tank top, and her favorite pair of black ballet flats. Her dark eyes had been perfectly lined with noir liner and she had applied a bit of clear gloss to her pink lips.

She darted out of her dorm room and ran to the MER, simply because she knew that she was running late. She hadn't meant to spend that much time on her appearance, but she just had to look absolutely perfect for Brendan. Once she reached the corridor that the MER was located, she slowed down to a walk and fixed her hair and straightened her clothes the best that she could. Her breathing soon returned to normal, and the red flush that was on her cheeks vanished. When she reached Brendan, her smile widened and she locked eyes with him. "Good evening, Brendan." she said softly, her voice barely above the hum of a whispering.

[brendan]

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

He hummed softly, lyrics escaping his mouth as he did. Collide, by Howie Day, was perhaps one of the nicest songs he had heard in a while. Old, but nice. He tapped a finger against the door of the MER, waiting for the arrival of Vivian Richards. She sure took her time, and he could only pray she arrived soon.

Thank the heavens that his prayers didn't go unheard. As a soft Good evening, Brendan was heard, he turned his head, and let a smile grace his lips. 'Good evening to you too.' Well, he was gonna downright forgive her for taking so damn long, because she looked right gorgeous. Smiling, he kissed her on the cheek, just like how any friend would do. It didn't look suspiscious, right? He hoped not, because the last thing he wanted was for her to know that he liked her. More than a friend. A small tug at the heart, since he first met her. Perhaps cause of how the two clicked rather fast, and rather easily.

'You look... amazing.' He scoffed at the use of his words. The epitome of amazingness would definitely look amazing, no? He frowned at the choice of his words, but quickly replaced the expression with a smile. He tended to frown when he thought, which made most people think he was sad about something, or annoyed. 'So, you ready to go?' He asked Viv, as he pointed towards the door. They could watch a movie and all, but he would let her decide. They hadn't hung for a real long time, and he was partially at blame for that too. Perhaps if he had made more of an effort to meet up with her, the small gap wouldn't have happened. Ah well.

OOC;; Oh Viv love, who's your celeb?

[vivian]

She blushed when she felt his lips on her cheek. She knew that it was only a friendly gesture, but she wished that it was something more than that. She really did like him, but she had no idea as to whether or not he liked her as well. She smiled once again at his words. "Thank you. You look...awesome." she said, laughing softly. He was the epitome of awesomeness, after all. She nodded her head lightly in response to his question before grabbing his hand and pulling him into the Muggle Electronics Room. It had been a while since she had been in here, but she was still pretty fond of it. She remembered the last time that she had been there, and how much fun it had been. Her smile widened to show her brilliant white teeth as she dragged him over to the couch. She sat down and pulled him down next to her. She had a feeling that he wouldn't protest to it, but she was being rather forceful, wasn't she?

"So, Bren Bren, what would you like to do?" she asked him, raising her right eyebrow at him in curiousity. She honestly didn't care what they did, just so long as she was with him. She wondered if he could tell that she liked him, but then again she was never too obvious when she had a crush on someone. "Do you want to watch a movie, listen to music, jump up and down on the couch, or just talk?" she asked him. There were several more suggestions that had popped into her mind such as exploding Diet Coke with Mentos and running around covered in white sheets pretending to be ghosts, but she decided not to list those.

OoC; B_E from Vampirefreaks.

[brendan]

As she blushed, he grinned again. 'Amazingness love, are you blushing?' He looked at her incredulously, as he stifled a small grin, and smirked when she complimented him. 'Thanks, although it's pretty much the same as what I wore to class, except underneath the robes.' He didn't bother to change, except remove his robes, and unless she had been looking beneath his robes [ tsktsk ], she wouldn't know. Right after he had asked, he was forcefully pulled into the MER. He barely caught his breath, although his brown eyes caught sight of everything. Whoa, deja-vu. It was just like in the Muggle world, and he appreciated that. It made him feel at home. As he was dragged to the couch, he held back any protests, lest she hit him for it. He didn't want a hitting Vivian of any sorts. She would hurt, no? And he would hate to be hit by her, because it meant that she hated him. That would be bad.

He winced at the nickname, and said in a monotone, 'You're lucky I don't kill you for the use of such a name. You're probably the only one allowed to call me that. And no, do not call me grasshopper.' He noted the fact that in DADA she had proposed grasshopper as a name. No way, that wouldn't do at all. He was glad that Viv had actually bothered to come and spend time with him. That meant something right? No, he wasn't going to delude himself that she liked him. It could be possible, but Bren was sure a slow idiot at that. He laughed at her suggestions, and said, 'How about you choose? I chose the venue, you do the programme.' He nodded, welcoming anything she was going to plan. Take it as a "punishment" for not spending enough time with his bestie.

:]

[vivian]

"Yes, I'm blushing. You just have that effect on me, Brendan." she explained. "Well, I don't bother to take a peek underneath your robes. I'm not that type of girl." she said, smiling at him. She had worn something entirely different underneath her robes to class. In fact, she hadn't been really trying to impress anyone with her previous outfit. But since it was just her and Bren Bren, she had decided to look her best for him. After all, she did sort of have a crush on him :]]. She was pleased that he didn't try to protest as she dragged him over to the couch and forced him to sit down next to her. However, she had known all along that he wouldn't mind. He was too nice of a person to speak up when something was bothering him...At least, that's the way that Vivian perceived him. In fact, he was the nicest person that she had met ever.

"Well, that makes me feel special." she said, giggling softly. She patted Brendan softly on the head before sticking her tongue out at him playfully. When he said that she couldn't call him grasshopper, her smile faded and transformed into a frown. She gave him puppy dog eyes before speaking. "But...I love that name. It just suits you so much." she said. She was joking around, of course. "Just kidding, Babycakes." she whispered...Oh, not another dreaded nickname!!! It seemed that Vivian would never run out of embarassing nicknames for Brendan. "Hmm...how about we watch a movie? I'm in the mood for something scary...As for the horror movie, I'll let you choose which one." she told him. She didn't really care what movie they watched, as long as it had her hiding her face with a pillow.

[/color][/size][/font]

[brendan]

He smiled at her, and taking her hand, he whispered into her ear very lightly, 'Well, I'm pleased to know that I do have that effect on you.' Hell no was he going to tell her that everytime he did see her, his heart did somersaults and his stomach had butterflies. No, he wouldn't tell her. That would be embarrasing, so he felt. Smiling as she retorted to his comment, he laughed, a small chuckle, but nontheless a laugh. 'I hope not.' She did look amazing though, forgive the pun. Probably because he thought she looked good in anything. One of his best friends, he cared for her, and whilst it may be more than what an ordinary friend should do, still. He didn't mind at all that she had made him sit next to her. He liked the idea that he got to sit next to Vivian, and without the normal space and everything such as the classroom. In the classroom, they were segregated by a table's length, so that the teacher could walk between them. The last time he had been so close to Viv, was probably in the Hogwarts train, when she had come and licked his face. He grinned at the memory, as he let Vivian talk.

His eyes widened, as he asked rather boredly, 'In what way am I a grasshopper? Why not Praying Mantis or something like that?' He frowned, as he chewed on his bottom lip, showing that he was thinking again. 'And if I get called Grasshopper, you're gonna be Ladybug.' Well, partly cause she was a lady, and she was a little bugger. But he liked her for being her, so he couldn't complain now could he? He coughed at the next name. Would she ever run out of nicknames? Schooling a straight face on himself, he continued, 'Well dollface, in what way do I look like Babycakes?' He smirked, as he stood up, herself saying that she could choose any movie, including a horror movie. 'Mmhmm.' He nodded, as he walked over to the TV, and retrieved the DVD in one of the shelves. Jeepers Creepers, 2. It was a rather horrific movie, but then again, guys like gore. ;] 'Okay, wait for it to start...' He said with a small grin, as he slipped into the seat beside her, and looped his arm around hers. 'You can always squish me real bad if you get afraid. I'll take responsibility for choosing a scary movie.' He nodded, as he pressed play on the controller.

[vivian]

"Now that you know that you have that effect on me...It's only fair that you tell me what kind of effect I have on you." she said, winking playfully at him. It may have seemed that she was joking, but she actually really wanted to know what effect she had on him. She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed softly before allowing her eyes to flutter closed for a few seconds. When she re-opened her eyes, she stole a glance at Brendan and giggled softly. "You're so adorable, Bren Bren." she commented. When she realized the words that had slipped from her lips, her eyes widened and she cleared her throat softly from embarassment. "Erm...sorry." she whispered. It only took a few short moments for her to regain her composure, and she relaxed and uncrossed her arms from over her chest and instead rested her hands in her lap. "Nooo...you're a Grasshopper. It sounds much cooler." she said, although she had no idea how it sounded 'cooler'. It just fit him better than Praying Mantis did. "It's like...I don't know...I guess it's because you're really skinny and your legs remind me of a Grasshopper's." That may have sounded like an insult, but she meant it in the nicest way possible.

"But...Why am I Ladybug?" she asked, completely oblivious to the reasons. "Ladybugs are cute." she gushed. "But so are grasshoppers." The answer was nope, of course not. Vivian would never run out of nicknames for Brendan. Her noggin was filled to the brim with embarassing nicknames for the Mihael boy. "Because...babies are cute, and cake tastes good." she said. "And you taste good..." she explained, giggling softly once again. She remembered clearly the day on the train when she had licked him. He had tasted delicious :]]. She watched him as he stood up and walked over to the movies. She wondered which horror movie he was going to choose, and she hoped that it wouldn't be too horrific. Vivian was easily frightened by movies, though, so she already knew that she would be hiding her face through the majority, if not all, of the movie. She caught a glimpse of the cover and recognized the movie as Jeepers Creepers 2. She had never seen the movie, nor had she seen the first one, but she had heard her friend's talking about how scary it was. When he sat down beside her and looped his arm around hers, her breath caught in her throat and her stomach filled with butterflies. She cleared her throat softly before entwining her fingers with his and smiling at him. "You better take the responsibility, because I already know that I'm going to be really frightened." she said.

[/color][/font][/size]

[brendan]

He frowned at her, when she asked what effect she had on him. Um, well...' He started off, unsure on how to continue. 'Let's see. Um, when I see you, I have this odd tendency to laugh. A lot.' He stopped, worried on whether he should continue. At this very moment he could just downright tell her he liked her, but that would be stupid, wouldn't it? So he choked on his words a little. He grinned when she said he was adorable. 'Aww shucks. Thank you.' He whispered, before kissing her on the cheek, again. Yes, Bren did like her, but he could only stick to kissing cheeks. He frowned at her choice of nickname once again. Not Grasshopper! As she talked about his legs, he bent down to look at them. 'Pfft. Fine. Grasshopper, and we lose the Babycakes, deal? And I'm calling you Ladybug.'

Why Ladybug? 'Cause you're a lady. And that's probably the only insect with Lady in there. And well, um, they're cute? Like you? So get with the nickname Ladybug.' He teased her, as she talked about Babycakes. Brendan Slater sure hell was not Babycakes! They had to lose the nickname. And maybe find a way to stop Vivian from coming up with a million names for him. Embarrassing. He noted that she was scared of the movie, and as she entwined her fingers with his, he held them tightly. Naw, he wasn't gonna let Vivian get scared, cause he would be worried. As he watched her, he decided that they already looked pretty much a couple, although they weren't yet. He would tell her, but then... Would it be right? Sighing, he watched the movie start. It was rather foreboding already, so he tightened his grip on her hand, just in case.

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/font]

[vivian]

"Awww..." she cooed, smiling at him. "I'm so happy that I can make you laugh." she said. One of her main joys in life was making her friends laugh. She loved being able to cheer up her friends whenever they were feeling upset. "No problem, Brendan. I was only being honest." she responded, with a light shrug of her shoulders. Vivian had a tendency to be too honest, but luckily she hadn't confessed her true feelings for him. She didn't know how he felt about her, and she didn't want to damage or jeopardize their amazing friendship by telling him that she liked him. That definitely wouldn't be good now, would it? "Babycakes is such an adorable nickname, though..." she pouted. A few seconds later, she smiled at him once again before poking her tongue out at him playfully and flirtatiously. "Fine, no Babycakes." she finally agreed, giggling softly.

When he said that she was cute, she blushed and bit her lower lip, attempting to force the pink that tainted her cheeks to vanish. "Thank you..." she replied, smiling some. She stole a glance at him and cleared her throat a bit, because it had suddenly became very dry, "I have decided to allow you to call me Ladybug." she said, tilting her head to the side and winking at him. "And we shall be best friends forever, because ladybugs and grasshoppers are the best of friends. Everyone knows that." As soon as the movie began, she was scared. She tensed up, her breath catching in her throat. But when she felt Brendan tightening his grip on her hand, she relaxed and looked at him once again. She wanted to kiss him, but she decided against it. Besides, she didn't know whether he would pull away or kiss her back, and she didn't want to risk getting rejected.

OoC;; I love love love the siggy :]]

[/color][/font][/size]

[brendan]

Licking his bottom lip, Bren in turn chewed on it; an unhealthy habit he himself had asked Kami to get rid of, but still. At her reponse, I'm so happy that I can make you laugh, he replied smoothly with a 'Well, you're probably one of the few. Darcy's another.' His sister Darcy, the one person he cared about beside his mother, and possibly Vivian too. She was his closest friend, and they were bonded by blood; whenever he had problems he could always find her. Funny but true. Some people hated their siblings - clearly Brendan was the exact opposite. No problem, Brendan. I was only being honest. Honest? Well, Bren was pretty honest too, except when it came to telling Vivian that he really liked her. Yep. Probably his biggest undiscovered secret yet, since he pretty much told everyone everything. But he would tell her today. That much he was pretty sure about. He grinned when she said she would lay off the Babycakes. Good. Fine, no Babycakes. Grasshopper he could live with, but Babycakes? Heavens no.

I have decided to allow you to call me Ladybug - at her proclamation, Brendan grinned. 'Good for you Ladybug.' Darn, already using her new nickname. Well on the double plus triple side, it was good that it stuck on so quickly. He would tolerate Grasshopper for Ladybug. And we shall be best friends forever, because ladybugs and grasshoppers are the best of friends. Everyone knows that. Yep. He smiled at what she said. course they would be best friends forever. BFFL. Or whatever it was that girls called it. Best friends were fine, and maybe he shouldn't tell her about what he felt. He felt her tense up, and he turned his head and smiled at her, before releasing her hand, and placing an arm around her. Made her feel safer, or so he thought. Ah well.

[/blockquote][/font]

[vivian]

She had no idea who Darcy was, because he had never mentioned her to Vivian. So, naturally, the Mihael girl decided to voice her curiousity. "Who is Darcy?" she asked, a hint of curiousity in her naturally soft-toned voice. Vivian didn't have any siblings of her own, but she had heard a few of her friends talking about how siblings, no matter if they were older or younger, were nuisances. But, the way Brendan talked about Darcy, it was obvious that he adored his sister. When he placed his arm around her, she snuggled into him, allowing her eyes to close for a few seconds before re-opening them. She sighed softly, before tilting her head up so that she could see him better and smiling at him.

OoC;; Sorry it's short and late, I've been busy with school

[/color][/font][/size]

[brendan]

WARNING. Very bad post ): I gonna fast foward haha!

She asked who Darcy was, and Bren let an amused smile pass his face. 'Why, suspect I have a girlfriend?' Waggling his eyebrows in an amused way, he continued. 'My sister. Darcy Adrienne Slater. You should meet her one of these fine days.' He grinned. Darcy and Vivian would get on just about fine. He smirked as Vivian snuggled into his arm, and raised an eyebrow. 'Comfy Miss Richards?' He asked, as the movie was as good as mostly ignored, now already halfway through. Gory, but if you weren't paying attention, well.

Hehe.

[vivian]

"Well, I don't really care if you have a girlfriend..." she lied. It was pretty obvious that she was lying. Since she hardly ever lied, she wasn't very good at it. She breathed a sigh of relief when he told her that Darcy was his sister, instead of his girlfriend. Good. One less thing to worry about :]]. "But do you think Darcy and I would get along?" she asked him. She smiled when he asked her if she was 'comfy'. "Actually, I am." she said, grinning at him. She really wanted to tell him how she felt about him, but she didn't know if this was the right time. Well, it was as good a time of any. She didn't want to keep waiting for what she believed was the 'perfect' time, and him have a girlfriend by the time she got around to telling him. "I really like you, Brendan..." she whispered.

[/font][/color][/size]

[brendan]

He raised an eyebrow, as he stared at his feet. Oh, so she didn't care that he would have a girlfriend. So... maybe she didn't like him in the way he liked her after all. Yeah, that probably was it. The sixteen year old stared at his feet, a little dejected in a way. He nodded as she asked whether she and Darcy would get along. 'Well, I love both of you, so I suppose so, don't you think?' At his words, he clasped a finger onto his lips. He hadn't just said what he had said, had he? Oh, he had. Cursing mentally, he framed a smile. 'I mean, you know...' At her next sentence, he smirked. 'Oh well. Don't get used to it. I plan to move soon enough.' He fidgeted a little, before stopping as she said that she liked him. What type of like? He looked at her, before deciding to reply with a 'Well, I like you too. And uh. Perhaps more.' Oh crap. What had possesed him to say that? As Brendan frowned at what he had done, he cast a glance at Vivian, waiting for a reaction.

[/font][/size]

[vivian]

She could tell that he had believed her words. She looked away from him, gently biting her lip. "I was joking when I said that I didn't care if you had a girlfriend..." she whispered, finally looking back up at him. "The truth is, I actually care a lot." she said. When he said he loved her, her eyes widened and she cleared her throat softly. Wait...what? What kind of love was he talking about? It was friendly love, she was sure of it. "Yeah, I guess." she said, with a light shrug of her shoulders. "No, you can't move." she said, pouting at him. "I'm too comfortable for you to move...Unless, of course, you're uncomfortable." She waited with bated breath to see what his response would be to hearing that she liked him. She realized that she hadn't really made herself clear about it, but she hoped that he knew that she liked him as in she wanted to be his girlfriend. She smiled at his words and leaned in, giving him a soft kiss on his cheek. "That's good to know." she whispered, before resting her head on his shoulder once again.

[brendan]

[ You're online! ]

Ho. She did care. As he stifled a small cough and cleared his throat subsequently, he smiled. 'Well, I would care to if you had a boyfriend. Probably be jealous of the lucky guy.' He waggled his eyebrows at her, as he let a smile shine through. Well, he probably wasn't the best looking of all the guys, so he pretty much usually wondered why Vivian hung with him. He thought he looked rather plain, truth to be told. His brown eyes twinkled with amusement, as she said that he shouldn't move. Pfft. 'If your highness Ladybug desires it so, Sir Grasshopper can't exactly deny your wishes.' He grinned, before settling himself down so he wouldn't move. He wasn't uncomfortable, exactly. She kissed him on the cheek, and before she could pull away, he placed his long fingers on her cheek. Well, as good as a time as ever. 'Viv, don't... hate me for this.' And he kissed her on the lips. A bold move, but he couldn't help it. Hey, he liked her. Call it a rush or anything, but he did like her.

Badly at that.

[/font]

[vivian]

"Well, I don't have a boyfriend." she said. Not yet, anyways...

[/b] she thought. She giggled softly when he waggled his eyebrows at her; it was incredibly adorable and amusing. She thought that he was the cutest guy that she had seen at the school. He had an amazing personality and it just shone through and added to his already amazing appearance. "I desire it." she replied, giggling once again. At his words, her brow furrowed together, wondering what he was about to do. She couldn't think of a single reason why she would hate him. When she felt his lips being pressed against hers, her arms immediately snaked around his neck and brought him closer to her. She kissed him back softly, her eyes fluttering closed.[/blockquote][/font][/color][/size]

[brendan]

Oh bloody hell. Sweet temptation this was. And as his lips met hers, he practically felt... like he was floating. He never felt this way with the other girls he had dated. Mind you, he was sixteen, and he had dated. But with Vivian, it was... different. You know? Like suddenly you're falling in love for the first time. His hands slunk around her waist, as he pulled her closer. If they would even get any closer. And then... he pulled apart. Gods, it wasn't right. She probably would hate him for it or something. As he tore away, he stared at his own legs, although his hands didn't move from her waist. Great. Moment of truth. 'Viv...'

Courage failed him, as a stagnant pause occured. In which, he chewed on his lips rather badly. And then, he spoke again. 'I... like you. A lot. Way more than a friend.'

[/font]

[vivian]

Vivian felt as if she had just ridden a roller coaster and was still enjoying the after effects of the drop. Even when the kiss ended and they pulled away from each other, she continued smiling at him. Even though he was staring at his own legs, she couldn't take her eyes off of him. When he muttered her name, she gave a light nod of her head to encourage him to continue. When he didn't continue, she parted her lips to speak. "Yes..." she said. She sort of had a feeling of what he was going to say, but she wanted to hear the words slip from his mouth. When he finally finished his sentence, her smile widened and she leaned forward and gently kissed him on the cheek.

"I like you, too. A lot more than a friend." she said. She remembered that she had told him earlier that she liked him, but she hadn't been very specific. "So...What now?" she asked him. Were they going to remain friends, or allow their relationship to progress?
