Subs and Shots

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Casper did tell Lucy that he was not going to bother her anymore and he planned to stick to that for the most part. However; he recalled that he didn't actually get to do something with her that he wanted to observe from her. That was how she was when she was drinking and if his guess about the kind of drinker she was right or not. In order to find that out they had to have some drinks together and just with one another. He could have invited her out for drinks at the bar but then he recalled that he didn't actually have her number.

So he had gone out and orders two subs, both simple and figured if she wanted something else on it then she could add stuff from her own stock. If she didn't want to eat it, that was fine because he could eat both of the subs if he really wanted to. In the third bag was actually a bottle of Jack Daniel's that he had...'borrowed' from some place. Details were not needed and he was already at Lucy's room and knocking at her door. He knew she was here but he didn't know if she was going to actually answer the door or not. "Lucy, I brought you something." Casper spoke up after he gave the door a hard knock.

He was not allowed to actually have alcohol so that was why he was hiding it in the sub bag. That and he originally had three subs, but his brother had eaten one of them before he headed out to go see Lucy. He of course told his brother where he was going and Jasper didn't agree but he didn't stop him, which meant that he was probably not too far away and on standby just in case.

[Lucy James]

The voice and the knock had the brunette's gaze moving towards the door. She recognized the voice and the sensation of the nearby power. Sighing, the brunette pushed herself from her seated position in the bed. A hand came up to run through her hair as she made her way towards the door. Lucy then reached for the handle, twisted it and let the door swing open. She didn't offer the boy a glance before she turned around again and started moving back towards the bed to sit down. Once she had though, she looked at him with a curious tilt to her head. Her feet was crossed over one another and her hands rested idly in her lap.

She was wearing a large, gray t-shirt that said 'come back to bed', and a pair of PJ shorts, red and gray in color. "I though you were going to leave me alone," she noted, pushing her chin forward; there was some hint of amusement in her expression. Obviously, she didn't mind all that much that he was around, or that he'd opted to seek her out once again, for whatever reason.

No, Casper was hardly the most annoying person she could have hanging around and for whatever it was worth, he was a nice tool to keep around in case her brother decided to throw another fit. She knew all too well how much Artie loathed the fact that she hung around this boy, which of course only meant that she had a reason to. "What can I help you with?"

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The door opened, without Lucy even bothering to give him a look as she headed back towards her bedroom. Casper didn't mind that he didn't get any kind of greeting; she knew he was by his voice and likely she had picked up on his power. There was no need for pleasantness between the two of them when Lucy was not really the kind of girl that liked them. He followed behind her, not hiding the fact that he was checking her out and making some notes as to what she was wearing. The overall outfit of course had to be her pjs and they were slightly tempting in terms of the thought that crossed his mind and what he wanted to do instead of eat and drink.

He was not Jasper; however, so his focus quickly went back to why he was here in the first place as he walked into her room and grabbed himself a seat on her floor. He of course looked around her room a little bit, having not been in it before, and it was a great source of information for him to collect about how the girl kept her room. "I was. I am. I just recalled that we never shared a drink or a meal together. The drink part being the most important." Casper informed her as he pulled out the bottle of Jack Daniel's from out of the sub bag wrapping and placed it on the floor in front of him.

"So, are you in a good enough mood to tolerate my company to have at least a few shots with me and maybe a sub?" Casper asked as he held out the other wrapped sub to her after setting out the two shot glasses he also had hidden within the sub bag. He thought it was a brilliant way to carry around alcohol when you were not allowed to have it. No matter what she said, he had already made himself comfortable on her floor and planned on at least having a bite of his sub and one shot before he would leave her be if she wanted him gone.

[Lucy James]

Lucy's eyes narrowed as he explained why he was here. Her first instinct was to laugh; he almost made it sound like this was some kind of sad attempt to take her out on a date, but she of course, knew better than that. He wanted something; information, probably, but Lucy never said no to free alcohol. "Ah," she replied, nodding as her eyes dropped to the bottle of Jack Daniels. "Good choice," she mused; it wasn't her favorite, but Jack Daniels wasn't the worst stuff you could get your hands on. The boy could have brought much, much worse stuff. She figured she could at least give him that much in terms of credit, as she offered him very little overall.

"I never say no to a free drink," she said as a weak smirk formed on her lips. She accepted the sub and pulled it in. Wrapping it up, she kept her blue eyes entirely on the boy sitting before her, her eyebrow quirking a little. "What's your game plan here, Casper? What do you want?" She looked at the sub then and pulled the paper aside as her slender fingers ran over the bread before ripping off a small piece and lifting it to her mouth.

She chewed on the food absentmindedly as she let her eyes wander. First, she looked over the room, then down at the food, then at the shot glasses, to the Jack Daniels bottle until finally, her gaze returned to the boy sitting in front of her; this felt oddly surreal.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

He could understand how someone would think this was a date, but he knew that if he was going to take someone on a date it was going to be better than this. While the brothers didn't fully understand the whole dating aspect, they knew how the whole courting operation worked. Both the brothers knew how to 'sweep someone off their feet', be the 'bad boys', 'the dirt bags', and even 'the sweet hearts' if they really wanted to be. So if they were actually going to try something they were going to put forth effort and skill for it.

This was not a date so there was not really any effort or skill in it, other than the little bit involving why he was doing it. That and he did actually enjoy being in Lucy's company if be it for the fact that she didn't really seem to like being in anyone's company. In that regard, he felt like he was slightly better than the other boys she dealt with because while he was bothering her, she didn't always seemed put off right away when he showed up. "I'm happy you liked it. I didn't actually know what you liked to drink and while I was tempted to ask what you normally got at the night club you go to, I didn't want to be too much of a stalker." Casper said in a teasing voice but that was actually a bit true.

He did collect information on the girl and that was why he knew a little bit about these other guys that were around her a lot. Was he jealous? Perhaps in the way that he didn't like that others were getting to observe her in different situations and he was missing out on the chance to see her reaction to said situations. Past that? He would not say yes but he honestly didn't know, food was the only thing that matter, and that was clear by the fact that he was already taking a large bit into his sandwich. He munched away at his large bite as she spoke up about not turning down a free drink.

A sly smirk spread across his lips as she asked the question at what he was playing at, which was a fair question. Clearly Lucy understood the kind of guy he was and knew that he was up to something with why he was here and what he was doing. "I want to enjoy these subs and some Jack Daniel’s with you." Casper responded, keeping his smirk and taking another bite. He didn't want to give it all away right off the bat, that was no fun. "Is the sandwich okay?" Casper asked, since that was something that was important.

[Lucy James]

"Yet you made yourself sound like one anyways," she pointed out. She hardly cared though. He could watch and study her as much as he pleased and it wouldn't phase her. At this rate, with the people that hung around her, she figured she just had to get used to it, because there wasn't any end to it as far as she could see. People - for whatever reason - seemed unable to leave her alone. At first, she'd thrown a fit, but now, three months later, it was more like a habit than anything. Almost something she'd come to expect; clearly all these people were stupid as all hell.

Lifting another piece of the sub to her mouth, Lucy sighed. It was obvious that she didn't at all buy what he was dishing out. Chewing the food, she didn't speak until after she'd swallowed it. "Or you can stop talking about the food and give me the real reason you're here."

With that, Lucy put the sub onto her bedside table and brushed her hands off on her t-shirt. She moved to sit on the edge of her bed and leaned forward so that she and the boy was approximately the same height. "Why are you here, Casper?" Her eyes narrowed as she spoke, but it was clear that she wasn't about to back down.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Only a little bit." Casper said as he just gave her a wink. He knew that he and his brother could be a bit on the stalker side, but it was only when they were interested with someone to a certain point. Past that, well they didn't really care enough about people to learn everything about them because then when they learned all that they wanted they had no reason to bother someone. Unless that someone provided them with a form of entertainment. Casper had thought he had reached that point with Lucy but there were some small things here and there that he still wanted to figure out about the girl.

He munched away, already half way done with his sub and wanted something to drink by now so set it down to open the bottle her brought. He took a moment to enjoy the slight aroma of it before rubbing his eyes and filling up both the shot glasses. He didn't know why he ever risked smelling something when it always bothered his eyes a little bit and made them water, it was just an odd habit when it came to alcoholic drinks. Perhaps he wanted to smell the potentially drunkenness that was going to come from consuming the beverage. "Not cool with us just sitting in silence while we eat?" Casper asked, still smirking.

She was putting her food down however and looking right at him, making it clear that she was not going to drop this right away. No fun. He let out a sigh as he reached for the shot glass but figured he would talk a little before tossing it back. "I just want to see how you are when it comes to eating and drinking. Specifically if you trust me enough to eat and drink something that I brought you." Casper pointed out. Now it messed up his test on if she would drink something but at least he knew she would eat something he brought her. "It's just more observations, nothing too bad...maybe." Casper said as he tossed back the shot glass.

[Lucy James]

Lucy's eyebrow arched at Casper's admission; seriously, that was it? Did she look like the type of girl who feared such things? What, was she supposed to be afraid he'd poison her? Snorting, Lucy leaned back against the wall and rolled her eyes. "Why wouldn't I? I doubt you're stupid enough to drug a fellow student, and what would you possibly gain from that?" Besides, he already knew that if he wanted sex, all he had to do was aim for it. That was one of those things Lucy didn't at all mind dishing out, for all its intents and purposes.

As if to prove that she didn't worry, Lucy reached for one of the shot glasses, filled it and placed it against her lips. Her eyes didn't leave the other boy as she dipped both the glass and her head slightly back. She could feel the liquid pour into her mouth and then her throat. The burning sensation filled her entire being, as most alcohol did.

Wiping her lips with the back of her hand, Lucy put the shot glass onto her bedside table as well and looked at Casper. For a few seconds, she remained quiet, simply observing him. Then however, her head tilted. "Now what?" He'd gotten what he came here for, right? Was that really all there was to his visit? Simply observing and seeing if she'd really eat or drink something he brought? She wondered then, what was he planning on doing with that information?

Surely, he had to have a plan, right?

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

That was part of why he was here and it was the only part Lucy was going to get out of him for the time being. It made it no fun if he gave everything away right away and it could get in the way of the outcomes he desired or predicted. Casper just smirked at her as she let out a snort and commented on how she didn’t think he would do anything so stupid. That and a question on what he could gain from doing such a thing. He didn’t say anything and instead went back to eating his sub, looking at Lucy every so often until she was basically staring at him.

She seemed to want to prove her point as to why she had no need to worry, and in part she was right not to worry that Casper was going to do something to her food. “How is it?” Casper asked when she tossed back the shot, no doubt feeling the burn. He enjoyed the burn; the small level of ‘pain’ that it caused his throat was also an interesting result of drinking such a beverage. He went back to focusing on eating, until he felt the eyes upon him. Looking up, he wiped his mouth with his shirt sleeve and looked back at her.

It was always odd to be stared at by someone and made him wonder what she was thinking and why she was curious as to what he was playing at. That just added to his interest in the girl for the moment which just made the smirk on his face widen. “You are going to end up ruining all my fun with all of your questions. What happened to you mostly ignoring what I did?” Casper asked, and then slide the last bite of his sandwich into his mouth, followed by tossing back another shot. “You should keep in mind that before I told you that you are an interesting person to be around.” Casper pointed out after enjoying the burn in his throat from the drink for a moment.

[Lucy James]

"It's alcohol; how do you expect it to be?" she fired back, rolling her eyes. She didn't really know what else to tell him. Alcohol was alcohol, and with shots, the intent wasn't for it to taste good. It was to get drunk. If you wanted something that tasted good, you'd bring a damn drink. Simple as that. Of course, Lucy wasn't actually going to bother telling the boy. She didn't really care much for wasting the breath it would take.

Rolling her eyes again, Lucy shook her head. "Do I really strike you as the kind of person who cares about your fun?" She ran a hand through her hair then as she moved out of her bed. "Don't forget that you're the one who came to me; I have every right to ask questions about that." The simple fact was that Lucy didn't particularly enjoy being someone's 'test subject'. Heck, she didn't care much for being around people, but whatever game this kid was playing, it was starting to grow old.

"So why don't you cut the pretentious crap and stop pretending like some cartoon villain running around thinking he has some major plot going on, because honestly, this shit is getting old." With that, Lucy walked towards the door and opened it. "And I have better things to do than sit around being someone's zoo animal." She opened the door then, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Your choice."

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Well you might not have liked this particular brand, so I was asking for the sake of knowing if I needed to pick better for a possible next time." Casper said as he chuckled a little. She was so direct with things and didn't think about the other possibility that he was asking the question for. Like simply just trying to make conversation with the girl, which he did know by now was a bit on the difficult side of things. Didn't make things less interesting, just a bit more of a pain but that was what happened when you wanted to figured someone out with Lucy's personality type.

He shook his head no when she asked the question about if she was the type to care about his fun or not. It was obvious she didn't, it was obvious since day one, but she was still currently killing his fun now. "Fair." Casper responded back when she pointed out that it was in every right for her to ask a question of him since he came to her. He wanted to eat with her and he was currently in her room so she did have every right to ask questions of him. He still also had every right to not answer them if he so desired. He could not help but to laugh at her next bit of words about him and how he was reacting. He was at least pleased that she had lasted long enough that he had been able to finish his sub.

"All of it is just for a reaction, Lucy. That is all." Casper said as he still smirked at her a little. Still there was that open door and he doubted she would simple believe him that, that was all there was to it. So he put his trash away in his one sub bag while he closed the bottle and slide it away back into the bag he had carried it in here, along with the cups. Making sure he had everything and of course leaving the sub he brought for Lucy alone. "I'll leave then if that is what you want. I just wanted to see a few reactions out of you and actually just enjoy a few shots and the subs I got together. That is all." Casper said as he got up and headed over to her since she was standing near the door.

He looked at her, still smirking, and waiting for what she wanted him to do, pretty much sure she was going to tell him to leave. Other than getting a reaction out of her, he just wanted to be in her company, because again she was a beautiful girl and she was interesting. He liked to be around the interesting toys, boring ones were just not worth his time.

[Lucy James]

"Again; I have better things to do than being someone's zoo animal. If you want to study people and figure out their reactions, you're on the wrong side of the campus." Although she wasn't wrong, and she doubted anyone liked being someone's study case, Lucy's reaction was a little deeper rooted than that; she didn't trust the boy. She didn't trust anyone. But when he openly admitted to wanting to "study" her and her reactions, alarm bells set off inside her head.

You didn't want to study someone without a deeper purpose. Whatever his reasons were, Lucy didn't care. He wanted to study her for something, be that wanting to figure her out, or something else entirely. It didn't matter.

Lucy didn't care.

"You should probably consider finding yourself someone new to study, because I don't want to be a part of that." It didn't help that the boy was still smirking either. It made her feel oddly backed into a corner and that was not a position the brunette found herself enjoying being in. Maybe she was overreacting and maybe she was being too defensive. What did it matter? She felt uneasy, and that was all she needed to know.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"It's more than just studying you. I just don't know how to explain it in a way other than me wanting to figure you out and observe you." Casper admitted as he just could not help but to smirk about the whole matter. She didn't get it and at the same time he still didn't get it. It was not really he or his brother's area of expertise so nothing more or less should have been expected. Still, he already knew what the heart of it all was. Not that it mattered. He already seen what he had expected to see and as such he really didn't have a reason to bother her anymore.

He set the sub bag with the alcohol in it on the ground, planning now to leave it in her room because he didn't really think it would be smart for him to take it back. He and his brother would consume it and he would likely reveal things that he didn't want his brother to know. Jasper would figure it out at any rate, so in the end he supposed it didn't matter if it was because of alcohol or by his own words. "I'm drawn to you. I'm not sure why but there is just something about you that makes me not want to leave you alone, despite already knowing the outcome. Perhaps it’s because you don't want me, perhaps it’s because a small part of you does want me, maybe it’s even because I just want to have sex with you again. But what I think is that all of it is because of that wall of yours." Casper then started to say.

Casper stepped closer to her, invading her personal space so he could make eye contact with her, and well again be in her personal space. He wanted to see every bit of detail on her face for this moment but again he didn't plan on bothering her again. "I wanted to be the one to break that wall and to see the look in your beautiful blue eyes when I did it." Casper was serious about that, which was why he was smirking again, but backing off. "Perhaps if I was more like my brother and just tried a physical approach, then...perhaps." Casper said, nodding a few times but with that he was already turning and leaving. He would go back to his room and prepare to be bothered by his brother and his million questions on the matter.

[Lucy James]

Lucy remained perfectly still - and quiet as the boy spoke. He was drawn to her. She could understand the feeling of that, she supposed. It wasn't new. He was hardly the first. That didn't mean Lucy understood it. He didn't seem to know exactly why he was drawn to her and Lucy didn't care enough to press the subject. The last few words however had the brunette's jaw clenching. Her eyes narrowed somewhat as her hands came up to cross over her chest.

This was not at all a situation the brunette found herself comfortable in.

He then stepped closer, which had Lucy's body tensing. Her gaze grew cautious, but her eyes did lift to meet his.

"I wanted to be the one to break that wall and to see the look in your beautiful blue eyes when I did it."

The words had her expression turning into a dark scowl. She then realized that this was nothing more than some stupid game - and although she didn't mind that. In fact, she much preferred that over some stupid as deep-rooted meaning, but what she didn't like was the fact that this boy was actively trying to break her down emotionally, and he was openly admitting to it as well.

Had he tried a more physical approach, he would have been met with something akin in return, and in a way, maybe Lucy would have preferred that. At least then she'd know exactly how to react. But instead, she felt backed against a corner without any knowledge of how to react; heck, how did you even react to someone claiming they wanted to break you down piece by piece? As the boy left, Lucy made no movement to stop him. Nor did she have anything to say. What was there to say, anyways?
