Just Like in the Movies

[Beau LaRoux]

Beau grunted as Liz poked his stomach. he shifted only when she started moving, getting her music hooked up. Thankfully, they both agreed on several types of music; which made it at least somewhat easier to take. So long as she didn't play anything too awful, they were gonna be just fine. Her mention of the hour made Beau yawn, at first as a sort of joke, though it soon turned into a real one, complete with his clenched fist coming up to block it. That kept happening to him: the whole exhausted thing. He kept buckling down on his training, plus his studies, plus his music, plus having a life. Left a guy exhausted at times.

Liz climbed back up; Beau adjusted, not really thinking about it. He didn't think about the fact that she'd pretty much cuddled up against him. He didn't think about the fact that he could feel her heat seeping through their clothes. He didn't think about the fact that, as a general rule, this is what couples did, not friends. Beau just moved because that was what felt right; he just put his arm around her because it felt right...

and he nodded, adding a "Sure thing," 'cuz that's what felt right.

[Elizabeth Edison]

Beau's response elicited a small smile from Elizabeth and naturally she turned her body into his, clutching at his arm.

They spent the next half an hour just talking about either the stupid movie, the song they were currently listening to and just random things. They would sing along to some of the music and then laugh at some other things.

Elizabeth didn't even realise how many times she yawned before her eyes started to droop and within seconds, she was out like a light, her arms wound around his and somehow she got her leg tangled with his.

Her abilities were kept at bay even as she slept.
