looking for some trouble tonight

[taijiya]

Date & Time: August 31st, before Ella's part.
Location: Um. An apartment. Probably Sango's.
Characters: Sango (taijiya) and Blaine (strategic_guile)
Summary: What are odd friends who occasionally make innuendos at you for, except to braid your hair and quiz you on guns and drag you to parties?
Warnings: Probably none, unless Blaine gets his own.

Straightening up the kitchen and digging in the pantry was proving a fruitless distraction, and not a very good excuse. She really did need to keep better track of where the groceries were going--but with the recent random flux of roommates coming and going and her own often busy schedule, she'd been eating out far too often and little in between.

"Alright, point taken," Sango noted finally with a sigh, a delayed response to Blaine's earlier statement that there would be food at the party he'd mentioned. It'd been a subject that kept cropping up today almost organically, even while at the shooting range. Some party that a girl Sango didn't know was throwing, open to anybody. It didn't seem to make much of a difference to Blaine that she had no idea how 'modern' parties worked, didn't know anyone but him that was going, and had precious little knowledge of the social etiquette presumably required for such a situation.

She quit rummaging and crossed her arms, uncertain. "But I hope you know I've got no idea how this works."

Comments

[taijiya]

She blushes faintly with the compliment. But it's not like she can really deny it. "I'm just a plain old human, I promise."

[strategic_guile]

Blaine laughs. "Human, maybe, but not plain." He reached up to to sweep his bangs behind his ear.

[taijiya]

"Blaine, please! You're making me blush." True to her complaint, she is pretty much bright red at this point.

[strategic_guile]

Blaine definitely had to lean forward and partially around so he could see the proof of her blushing. His grin was wide as he said, "Oh, you so are~ You can handle the strange but a compliment makes you bright red."

[taijiya]

"There's a difference between a compliment and flattery, you know," she accuses. "I think you're doing this on purpose. But, ah, thank you anyway."

[strategic_guile]

Blaine laughs softly as he leans back, giving her some space. He runs his fingers through the small portion of her hair he hadn't gotten to yet. He was sectioning out another group of strands while he shakes his head.

Of course he was doing it on purpose, but that was neither here nor there. "Are you saying I'm lying about how attractive I find you?"
