Drinks Are On Her

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn had told Cade she would have been game to hang out with the guy again. They still had to compare abs and what not. She had not been joking when she had brought up the whole idea of it, because in her mind it would have been a lot of fun. Plus she was trying to do everything possible that would distract her and to get herself out of the funk that she had been in for months. That meant making new friends, hanging out, and doing a few things she found fun. One of those big things she found fun was going to college parties off of the school grounds.

Sure there were college parties at BA, but she preferred to party with the non-mutants who didn't have to worry about the stress of their powers and lived a normal drama filled life. She figured to invite Cade to go with her on one such party seeing as she knew there would be smoking at the party and she didn't want Vera calling the fire department on her or anything. There was also Beau she could have invited but the girls would have been all over him and she didn't want him to have to deal with such an awkward thing when he had a girl he loved. Ellen was also on that list of invites but Ellen had been doing her own thing with other people and Devyn didn't want to get in the way.

So she figured out where Cade's dorm room was and went there, not that hard to find out where someone’s room was after all. "Yo, Cade! You in there? Or any of Cade's roommates in there?" Devyn asked as she gave the door a hard knock. If Cade was not here then she drag one of his roommates out but if none of them where here she go by herself. It was not big deal to her either way.

He dimly heard the knock and moaned, rolling over and waking up reluctantly. He'd needed a nap, and he'd taken one. He looked around the room. His room-mate wasn't there. Rolling out of bed, he looked down. Okay, he had remembered to put pants on. That was good enough to answer the door. Cade walked there and opened it, not realizing who it was until he saw. Devyn. His eyebrows raised.

"Uh...hi Devyn. What are you doing here?" There were so many comments he could make about a girl coming to a guy's room. He might have made them suggestively to any other girl, but he didn't really feel like saying those things to Devyn for some reason.

[Devyn Solway]

It was later on in the day, not yet at the curfew time for those that were eighteen years and older and Devyn was now eighteen years old. Score. Still, since she was on campus she was at least wearing half of the school uniform. She figured that at a certain time of night they didn't have to wear it; at least she normally stopped wearing it around six at the latest, but she kind of already dressed in half of the style that the school provided them to wear. She was stealing wearing the school uniform top, a button up shirt with a black tie. The tie hung loosely around her neck and she had on a pair of black jeans which could have passed as the schools pants but they were jeans instead of 'fancy pants' as Dev called them.

Cade ended up being the one coming to the door, making having come here to pick him up all the more easier for her. He seemed surprised that she was here, which made sense because she was showing up out of the blue. She did that sort of thing. "Yo. I said that we should hang out again sometime and I meant it. Got invited to this college party down in town and seeing as you are such a Casanova, I figured you want in. You in?" Devyn informed him and then asked. She thought it would be a good way for them to hang out again and plus he might score with one of the college kids not from the school. Double wins as far as Devyn was concerned.

Devyn of course noticed that he was without a top and her eyes did travel over his frame for a moment, appreciate the view. She did step forward, a little closer to him as she reached her hands out to touch his stomach; specifically his abs. "Not bad, not bad." Devyn said as she would try to feel them a little if he didn't shove her hand away. "You might want to put on a shirt however cause it is a little bit nippy and I don't think anyone has been able to just get into a party without a shirt on." Devyn said, but gave a small shrug. If it was a pool party, possibly but not this kind of party.

[Cade Carson]

Hanging out at a party? Wasn't usually his scene, but it was hanging out with Devyn. Cade nodded.

"Sounds like fun. And you did indeed promise to hang out." Plus, he might be able to score with a chick who was at the party. Nothing was ever going to happen with Devyn. He figured that. He would still hope, but holding his breath wasn't going to happen. When she reached out her hand to touch his abs, he froze. On the one hand, he wasn't sure how he'd react. And on the other hand, he really wanted that to happen. She mentioned about putting a shirt on and he nodded mutely. After a moment, he recovered.

"I was just taking a nap, and I get extra warm when I sleep so hence why I don't have a shirt on.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn't know it was not his thing, she just assumed he would have been the type that was up to parties if it meant getting to chat up ladies. Devyn knew she pretty much only went to parties to chat up the girls and the boys. She was not actually all that big in being where there was a large gathering of people, but if it meant she got to have some fun and possibly get lucky, then she was all for it. However, tonight she was not looking to get lucky or anything like that. Perhaps a little drunk but she mainly just wanted to get away and have a distraction.

"Cool, and I did. I keep my promises." Devyn pointed out. She was a person of her word and if she gave a promise then she was going to keep it. Unless she forgot that she promised something or something accrued that caused her not to keep it but generally she kept them. Her father always told her a person was worth someone’s time if they could not be honest. That was why Devyn tried to be or just not say anything that would make her a lie or what have you. Even if people seemed to think she was some dishonest and cheater, they just really didn't know her.

She didn't know that Cade was feeling anything towards her or was odd about the fact that she was touching his abs. She figured he was chill with her and that they could be pretty cool friends if he didn't mind how she was after he got to know her. She was kind of slow on knowing someone liked her unless they were obvious about like blushing and what not. "Ah, understandable. Probs have to like sleep in the nude on the hot summer days huh? Make sure you lock your door then in case any of your roommates sleep walks or something." Devyn teased and then gestured for Cade to go. She was waiting on him to at least put on a shirt so they could go.

[Cade Carson]

"You did indeed keep your promise." Cade was just going to relax and try to have fun. Just because it wasn't normally his scene didn't mean he couldn't have fun. He turned around and took a red t-shirt from his drawer, putting it on before throwing on his black leather jacket over it. Then he walked back to the door, running his fingers through his hair quickly to neaten it.

"So are we walking to this party, party animal?" He smiled.

"Cause if you'll recall, I'm as stranded as you are. As for the sleeping nude..." He reddened.

"I lock my door. But generally I just try to have air conditioning of some sort." This was weird. This was really really weird.

[Devyn Solway]

"Well not yet. I'm trying to but that involves you going to this party with me so we can in fact hang out." Devyn pointed out. Her promise was not yet fulfilled but it looked like it would be as soon as Cade put a shirt on and was ready to go. She waited outside his dorm room as he seemed to turn around and head back into his room and out of site for a moment. Normally she would walk into someone’s room and go exploring around through their things and what have you but she was trying to not do that as much.

It was difficult, but her green eyes traveled across the parts of the room she could see and satisfied half of her need to go around the common area of the dorm room. Cade came back with a red shirt and a black leather jacket and asked how they were getting to the party. "Well I have a motorcycle but I don't have a second helmet for you. So we can walk and be fashionably late, catch a cab, or borrow one of the vehicles from the school." Devyn suggested up their options and was willing to let him pick. She chuckled at his words about being standard but there was a small pain in her chest just thinking about that word.

That pain got covered up by the fact that she was now grinning like she was about to do something evil, but she was not. Seeing someone blush was always so amusing to her and seeing it on Cade didn't really change the level of amusement she had from it. "Why are you getting red Cade? Don't like talking about being in the nude?" Devyn teased as she turned to start leaving the college dorms. They had to leave the building and get to the parking lot no matter what means of transportation they decided to take.

[Cade Carson]

When he was ready, she talked about transportation and he shrugged.

"I don't think anyone really gets to a party late. Parties don't exactly have a set timeline. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, it won't start until we get there." He grinned. When Devyn mentioned his blushing, he ducked his head slightly, turning even redder.

"Talking about being nude isn't the problem. It's just...awkward." It was odd because normally he wouldn't have problems with talking about it with girls. But again, Devyn was a whole other ballgame. He acted way differently for some reason. Like he was a totally awkward teenager again.

[Devyn Solway]

"Well, if everyone at the party is passed out or being arrested, I'm pretty sure you are late to the party." Devyn pointed out, just wanting to contradict him. She had done it a lot the first time she had met him. It was purely just because she wanted him to see it from a different point of view. That and well it was just kind of fun to do on some small level. She did chuckle at his later statement about how the party was not actually starting until they got there. She liked that way of thinking of it but she was actually no wild party animal.

Admittedly, she was the kind of person that got pulled into things and just went along with it in order to have a fun time. He didn't provide her with an answer on which mode of transportation he wanted to take so she was going to decide for them. If she went to go rent a car from the school there would be a lot of questions she was going to have to deal with because of the time and also because of her current 'one strike and you’re done' status. So she pulled at her phone and scrolled through the numbers to find the number to call a cab.

Cade was turning even redder as they walked through the building, heading down some steps as he pointed out that talking about being nude was not the problem, but it was just awkward. What was awkward? If talking about being nude was not the problem there should not have been anything to feel awkward about. "That makes no sense, bro. But, I'll drop the topic then." Devyn said as she slides her hands into her pockets. Since she didn't know what else it could have been she just figured to stop talking about being nude would fix the problem. She quickly called up the cab then, not having anything else to talk about for the moment.

[Cade Carson]

"Well if you get there that late then you just pretend you're a fan of CSI. That you just like watching cops work and that's totally why you're there. Take out that old notebook and pen and take notes." He grinned. When she said it didn't make any sense, but she was dropping the topic, he gave a sigh of relief. He wasn't nervous about talking about being in the nude. He was nervous about talking about it around Devyn specifically. He was lucky this time she was willing to drop it. She started calling the cab and he just walked in silence for a bit while he waited for that to happen.

"So...what started you going to parties out of curiosity?"

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn rolled her eyes and shook her head at Cade's words about what to so when you showed up to a party that late. The bit about taking out a notebook and taking notes made he chuckle a little bit, how young did he think she was? Scratch that, did he not just get the feeling that she done a lot for someone her age? "Well duh, if you were stupid enough to stick around and act like you were supposed to be there it’s your own fault for getting arrested." Devyn said. She was a minor so being caught anywhere where there was alcohol was a bad time for her, but she tended to make sure to leave a place before things seemed like they were going to go bad.

After she finished call the cab she put her phone away and stayed in the silence as she walked to the parking lot. She did glance to make sure that Cade was still keeping up with her and seeing if he had gotten any redder. He seemed fine now and then after a moment of silence he spoke up and asked her a question. "Uh...well I have been going to parties since I was like fifteen years old. My first girlfriend seemed to like them and it was always a good learning experience back then. Now it’s just for the distraction." Devyn confessed as she gave a small shrug. That was the best answer she could give to that question.

They were outside then, waiting out in the parking lot for the cab to get there. It was a little chilly but Devyn was not bothered by it at all. "What about you? Hard core party boy?" Devyn asked as she looked over to him while they waited. It would not take long for the cab to show up and when it did Devyn so took shot gun and told the driver where to go. The drive would be pretty quick and they would be dropped off outside on of the college houses down in Kalispell, where it was pretty obvious a party was starting to kick in.

[Cade Carson]

"I'm old enough to pass for drinking age if I get caught. I'm only a year off being legal after all." He smiled. She mentioned her party past and he shrugged.

"Distractions work sometimes. They keep us from feeling the full brunt of our pain." He had figured that might be the reason she partied. It all seemed to go back to Devyn's last relationship. He desperately wanted to help, but Cade also knew that pushing her might do more harm than good. When she asked if he was a hardcore party boy, Cade shook his head.

"Far from it. I'm not usually part of the party scene. I'm going to this one because you are."

[Devyn Solway]

"Oh? Twenty years old? I guessed as much." Devyn said as she gave a few nods. That meant that Cade was about two or three years older than her. It all depended on when his birthday was and she didn't know his birthday so she could not say for sure. He was still in her whole age limit that she liked and she had fooled around even dated people his age and older. She had fun with those older then her, they were a lot more fun to hang out with, and relaxed. Sure there were some here and there that were not so fun and really boring but it worked out in the end.

He seemed to agree with distractions being a good thing, and something on it about pain. She knew for sure that distractions were great for keeping her from feeling the pain, but in the end they were just distractions. Distractions could only last for so long and when they were done then you would feel that pain again. She knew that the best way to get over something was to face it head on but her attempts to do just that had all backfired. Oh well, she was trying to not think about that now as they headed for the party.

"Well if you didn't really want to go, you could have said so. I could have gone alone. I just thought it was your thing and wanted you to have your fun with one of the college girl’s maybe. Unless you prefer the company of the college boys in secrete." Devyn teased as she stuck her tongue out him. When they arrived at the party she paid the cab driver and got out of the car. She wondered what Cade felt about having to ride in the backseat while she sat up front.

"Alright, try not to drink too much cause I might be too drunk myself to help you out." Devyn said as she headed for the building, giving a wave to a few of the people hanging outside and went in. There was music, drinks, and of course college kids hanging out and having fun.

[Cade Carson]

"I don't really care either way. Besides, it's better if you don't have to go alone. You're not invincible you know. Something could happen. Might be good to have a friend nearby. And I thought if you have fun, maybe I might too. So I'm willing to try it." He shrugged. She mentioned the college boys and he laughed.

"No. I'm straight. I'm sure of that. And...yeah. It might be nice to be around the college girls not from Bellefonte. The ones who don't try looking beyond the surface and realize I'm an overconfident jerk, even if I do have potential." He grinned, winking at her.

"As for drinking too much...I don't usually overdo it. Kind of had a wild phase a while back that put me off it."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn listened as Cade said that he didn't really care either way and that it was better then her going alone. Devyn could not help but to start to laugh at Cade's next words about how she was not invincible and something could have happened to her. Yeah, clearly Cade didn't know her if he was saying something like that. Dev was not faulting him for it, but she could not help but to laugh because she had found it truly funny. "Trust me, without using what makes me special I can take care of myself just fine. Unless its like two really tall buff guys, but I know when I'm outmatched and pretty good at getting away." Devyn informed Cade. She didn't want to be protected and was not the type to be protected.

She preferred it to be the other way around and was going to stick to that mindset for the rest of her life because thinking any other way would make her feel weak. "Well, my level of fun should not reflect how much fun you have, but I hope for your sake you are not completely bored." Devyn said as she headed inside, not bothering to wait for Cade if he was not going to get out of the cab and follow. She figured he would so she was not all that worried and headed in after waving to few people out front. "Just straight, huh?" Devyn asked as she tilted her head a little to the side. She didn't think anyone was completely straight, they just had to meet that right person.

That was why she always said that she was bi, because there was plenty to enjoy from both genders in her opinion. "Well, I'm pretty sure a lot of them will be drunk and not really care about your ego." Devyn said with a slight snicker. She already made her way through the home, going for where the drinks were and grabbing herself one of those standard red plastic cup and getting herself something to drink. "You are still on that?" Devyn teased as Cade brought up the whole potential thing. Yes, he had potential and he still did. "Wild phase? Do share." Devyn said as she took a sip from her drink and moved towards a couch, grabbing a seat and relaxing a little bit, enjoying the music.
