Room 407, Thursday Night

[thatsamilkshake]

What's worse than naked? Spandex. No, seriously. Spandex with no ice cream. Spandex with boys being weird. Spandex that won't come off and also is confusing and troubling and tiny and blonde and now there needs to be a boy. Right now.

What's better than naked? To be honest, as Merlin hurried her across the hall and into his room Francine was having a hard time coming up (dirty) with an answer to that. ...Or maybe Merlin was just happy to see her.

[OOC: Ahem. See mood.]

She'd be growling impatiently if she hadn't been totally brain-bustingly distracted by watching the scramble. Though she did manage to pull her other leg out of... well, they were a lampshade, now.

"Uh."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

That was going to serve as such a distraction if neither of them noticed until later. "...what does 'ribbed' mean?"

[thatsamilkshake]

"Uh." Oh so helpful. "On a sock it means ..." Like she could come up with a description. She did a thing with her fingers on an upside down hand that tried to indicate stretchy stripe-like things but may have come off as there's an octopus in that condom packet.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"..." Merlin was only more confused, so he did the smart thing and offered the pile to her.

[thatsamilkshake]

Green. See, like she said. Francine pulled out the packet and held it up. "Wait, that's kiwi."

Other green. "There!" She tried to hand it back to him.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Kiwi," Merlin echoed, dropping the rest of them on the bed next to them as he tried to open the one she gave him. It was being met with mixed results. It opened, but the condom went flying just a bit.

[thatsamilkshake]

And Francine dived for it. She tried to catch it, really she did.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god, no! Visions of a re-broken nose filled his head and Merlin did the first thing that came to mind and slowed everything down for a moment to catch the errant piece of rubber.

And then carefully protected his face before it was normal again.

[thatsamilkshake]

Plus side, face protected and condom caught. Minus side, there was now a naked girl in his lap. Well, kind of sprawled across it. But she had a condom, dammit!

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin stared. And then stared.

And proceeded to stare a bit more. Because... breasts. Lap.

Whimper.

[thatsamilkshake]

"Um. Hi."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Merlin managed to croak out. Really she ought to be pleased he could managed beyond 'warm' and 'soft'.

[thatsamilkshake]

Really he ought to be pleased she could manage to hold up the condom and not gibber, when she was sprawled across a place where only the warm part of that applied.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Yes.

That.

"Ithinkweshouldstartnow."

[thatsamilkshake]

"Holy heck, yes." This weekend might not be the best time to make that trip to church you promised God, Francie. "Do you. Um." No stalling out no stalling out no stalling out no stalling out.

And her hormones just laughed and laaaaaaaaaughed at her. Stupid hormones.

"Do you want me to?" With a single and possibly unfortunate-looking jerk of the condom-holding hand.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin was a bit busy trying to picture that when his brain sort of fizzled out. "You could..."

[thatsamilkshake]

In a few days, there'd be so much '...WHAT?' at herself that you might think she was someone else who liked to use that phrase when confronted with brain-breakage, but right now there was just I can do this I can do this really I can do this NOW please NOW.

She'd have to actually sit up to manage the NOW please NOW though. And then, you know. Look.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin swallowed, also looking down at the problem. "Have you--I mean, I did with a banana once..."

[thatsamilkshake]

Forgive her if there were staring issues. Not at his face. "...Well, no. I've seen someone do it with a banana..." That she had no idea what she'd just said shouldn't be a surprise by now. "Online. There was a video."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"You just, um." Merlin reached for the condom as well. "Roll it down, I believe."

[thatsamilkshake]

Wait, he wanted her to transfer a small, currently valuable item a couple of centimeters from one hand to another without something terrible happening to it? What planet was he on? She kept hold of it. "I...okay."

You had to kind of aim it, right? She held it between her fingers like a coin, and...aimed.

Using two hands might be better, Francine.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin bit his lip to keep from making any noises. Because--hello there hand. How are you?

He was fabulous now.

[thatsamilkshake]

Using two hands would really be better. Better enough that it actually occurred to her. And again with the later there would be WHAT?, but right now, she wrapped one hand around him and unrolled the condom with the other and failed at not saying, "That's...hot" out loud.

She meant temperature, but you know. Apply it any way you like.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin whimpered again. And she was very lucky that was how he took it.

"I--uh--your hand is too."

[thatsamilkshake]

"My everything is." Seriously, every inch of her felt like he looked on the cruise, like she'd been out baking in the sun for hours.
