[OTA] Meanwhile, On a Greek Island

I get the feeling the general theory is that alcohol improves bowling scores.

[Yes, Saturday night in Santorini is being spent at a rooftop bowling alley. There are warm breezes, stars, flowing alcohol, and five twentysomethings armed with bowling balls. There's no way this could go badly. Threadjacking is encouraged, as is taking the above sentence as a text message. She's glued to her phone anyway.]

THREADJACK OF LOVE

Sooooooophie. ((Did you mention his name? Ouzo gives him magical powers of telepathy, okay. Hugging her from behind is a go.)) I like your hair.

/YEAHHH MAN

"Nooo." He gives her a mournful look, pulling his latest glass close to his body. "S'a conspiracy with you'nd Cadogan."

"M'not gonna die." He sways a little, pulls away from Sophie to better protect his drink. "Bad things don't happen to good-lookin' people."

"Lies." He pouts at her. "Filthy, not true, lies."

He's at the point where he assumes the new drink is actually alcohol. Only after gulping it down does he realize- "Hey! That was-- that thing'n- water. You lied t'me."

[identity profile] black0and0white.livejournal.com 2012-05-20 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughs at that, finishing off the drink in his other hand. "Whateeeever you say, Zoe." And sad looks. "Only water now?"

"I'm gonna die, Zooooe. Of non-alcohol poisoning." Nyeh.

EEP!

[Sophie stumbles forward then back as she's pinned from behind. He has her arms. Her Arms! And Ohmygod.leggoleggoLEGGO! leaning if she kicks they'll both go down and so, so much worse. And then she notices a hand where it ought not to be.]

Adrien. That is not my arm.

Cloooose enough. ((But he shifts a little obligingly, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close.)) Ho-o-ow are... you?

Suffocating. [She tugs ineffectually on his hand, all training deserting her in her alcohol-fogged brain. At least he probably won't remember this tomorrow. Dear lord. Don't let him remember. Why is he still there? Hugging? Wait--]</small. Dancing. I'm going dancing. Let me go.

[identity profile] black0and0white.livejournal.com 2012-05-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Dancing? ((Gasp. And now excitement.)) Can I too? Pleeeeease. Pretty please. Pinky promise please?

[identity profile] onlytolerable.livejournal.com 2012-05-20 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I--[Anything if he lets go of her.] There was a room when we came in--other side of the bar--remember? [The place where the bone-shuddering bass reverb is coming from?] If you want....

[And he'd be distracted by a new shiny in no time and she could escape. A broad smile lifts Sophie's lips. Perfect.]

'nd I'll dance with you, Miss Sophie something something something Berthier. You, you, you. No one else. ((Good luck, Sophie. He's humming happily into your hair again, arms tight around you.))

[identity profile] onlytolerable.livejournal.com 2012-05-21 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, lord. She's created a monster. Honestly. How does she get herself into these situations? Sophie opens her mouth to protest, but starts laughing instead.]

Don't make me play the name game, EPA Fitzgerald. [She rests her hands over his.] You need to let go if we're going to dance.

Not for me, lady, oh no. I'm just Adrien. Like how Cher's just Cher. ((Thank goodness he doesn't strike a pose. He just clings tighter instead.)) I bet you we could dance together like this.

[identity profile] onlytolerable.livejournal.com 2012-05-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
{Careful with those hands, Ermingild.] Adrien...I don't think we're talking the same kind of dancing. Come on. Dance floor?

[identity profile] black0and0white.livejournal.com 2012-05-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
((He's being careful, gosh.)) Let's go, honey. ((He'll grab her hand, try to twirl her as he pulls her onto the dance floor behind him.))

[identity profile] onlytolerable.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sophie laughs--what other choice is there? And twirls for him--albeit a bit unsteadily. She's one over her limit.]

You are so going to regret this tomorrow.

[identity profile] black0and0white.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
No regrets, baby. Vis ta vie. ((He gives her a wide grin.

Yeah, he is going to regret this.))
