Houseguests Hanging Out
The prospect of going back to school has Josh a bit nervous. He's not worried about grades or anything like that, confident he can handle the material. It's all those people. But thankfully, he doesn't have to go yet.

Instead, Josh is staying at Henry's place while the Green Lantern is at school. And since he doesn't want to be a complete mooch, the healer's in the kitchen cleaning. He hums a little tune while he finishes the dishes. "There..." he trails off as he completes the task.

	Avalon feels like he is going to choke, his heart is so high up in his throat. He's quite unsure exactly what is happening either, but he's not fighting against it either. He shifts, sitting up a bit taller in the couch, and tilts his head to the side. Without saying much at all, Avalon leans in towards Josh, his lashes heavy over half-mast eyes...

	The front door opens. "Guys, I'm home," he calls out. He's just been out in Keystone, trying to work things out with Jai and Iris regarding Josh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh fells a bit odd as well, trying to make sense of what he's feeling from Ava and from himself. He starts to lean in to meet Ava and just as his lips brush the blue lantern's... INCOMING! With a startled 'eep!', Josh falls off the couch and likely takes Ava to the floor with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So one moment, Avalon's heart is in his throat and he's breathless and spinning... and the next he's sprawled on the floor. Groaning a bit, he rubs at his head, eyeing the doorway and Henry. "Hey Henry..." he says in a low tone. He then looks at Josh and offers him a bit of a smirking smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You guys okay?" Henry asks, moving towards where they are to offer them a hand up. "What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-24 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Josh blushes furiously and lets his healing powers get to work on Ava. No need to keep a bump to the had. "Hey, Henry," he greets. "We fell off the couch," he says, blinking. "Well...I fell and accidentally dragged Ava down with me..." he trails off, accepting the hand up after Avalon does. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-24 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm fine, really.." laughs Avalon as he tries to wave all the hands off, but eventually just gives up and lets Josh and Henry help him back to his feet. "We were watching Shaun of the Dead." he then announces to Henry, his smile wide. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-24 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	Henry shakes his head, chuckling. "I didn't think it'd scare you that much," he says. "And really, you should watch some classic zombie movies before you see the parody movies like this or Fido." Once they're up, he turns towards the kitchen. "I'm gonna start on dinner, guys. Any preferences?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh keeps a hand on Avalon until he's completely healed from the fall damages. He frowns slightly, looking the Blue Lantern over. "Well, I haven't seen a zombie movie since I was like eight..." he trails off, embarrassed. "Oh yeah. Your dad is home, Henry. And he wants to talk with you. He's upstairs."

	Avalon shoots Josh a softer smile, and raises a hand to cover the one that Josh keeps on him.. at least until Josh lets go. The mention of the elder Jordan makes Avalon nod his head, his lips pulling into another smile as he says "Your dad is really nice, Henry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-24 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, cool! Thanks!" He turns to head upstairs. "I did some more string-pulling after school today." Okay, so I cut school a little short, but it was after school. "I'll tell you a bit later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-24 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Josh blushes again at the contact from Avalon. "String pulling?" he asks, confused. "And yeah, your dad's a nice guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-24 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	As Henry takes off out of the room, Avalon lets out a sigh and then can't help but flush dark red, now that he's left with Josh. "Well. That could have been a lot worse." he then says with a bit of humor to his tone. He then shrugs a bit to the sting pulling, and says "I'm sure he'll tell us when he remembers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-24 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Josh flushes as well, watching Henry go. He swallows, not sure what to do. "Y-yeah. It could have," he agrees. "Okay. I hope he remembers soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The moment is obviously gone, and Avalon doesn't want to press anything on Josh. Instead, he reaches out and presses his palm to Josh's chest once more - he's done it enough that it must be a common gesture where he's from - and gives Josh a bright and wide smile. No words are needed though, at least to Avalon.

Stepping back, he heads for the kitchen and asks "Wanna share a soda? They're so sweet I can't finish a whole one."

	Josh glances down at the hand on his chest and reaches out to pull Ava in for a hug. "I hope he remembers to bring your wings back too," he says. "Sure. Sounds good to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Not expecting to be pulled into a hug, Avalon lets out a soft little laugh, and he returns the hug tightly. "Oh I'm sure he will. Once he remembers." Avalon is distracted from soda by Josh though, and he lingers near the taller boy, unwilling to move away.

"I don't know what the custom is, on this planet." Avalon then says so softly that it seemed he was almost whispering, "But.. I would very much like to hold you close when it comes time to sleep.." he nibbles at his lower lip a bit, and then smiles gently as he says "It's always nice to share warmth when sleeping."

	"That's good," Josh remarks. He notices Avalon sticking close but says nothing about it. He blinks a few times at the request and blushes furiously. "S-s-sure. I don't mind sharing a bed," he says with a smile. "Do you...want it really warm?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure that you are more than capable of making me more than simply warm." says Avalon with a secret little smirk. "Things are quite warm usually with my wings and all.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 12:18 am UTC (link)
	Josh continues to blush, looking like he might combust at any moment. "Are...are you sure you wouldn't rather have Henry warm the bed with you?" he asks. Dammit, Josh! What the hell? Retreat! Run! "Or..." ABORT! ABORT! Do not ask it! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"Henry doesn't feel that way about me." Avalon says in a sad little tone. He then sighs out a breath and plasters on a smile to Josh as he murmurs softly "You feel warm.. and safe in that regard. Henry doesn't see me the way that he sees you or any one else for that matter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"Are you sure?" Josh asks. "He's...got odd ways. Can't figure him out," he sighs. The healer's smile returns and he gives in to the idea in his head. Josh. You.Are.An.Idiot. "I'll come to bed with you. Why not invite Henry along as well? See what he says...or see if we can open his eyes and see you for how great you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 12:42 am UTC (link)
	For a moment, Avalon is speechless. He then draws in a slow, deep breath and pushes back a stab of hurt, and offers Josh a small smile. "If.. that's what you want, then.. that's fine. I just.. I don't know Josh. It seems like it's pressing the subject. I don't exist to him, and there's no reason to push it all up into his face." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 12:46 am UTC (link)
	Josh sighs, unsure and confused. "It's not about what I want, Ava," he says, smiling. "I want to know what you want. I mean..." Think...think... "I like you, Ava. A lot. And I really do wanna come to bed with you. Maybe finish what we were about to do before we fell," he blushes. "But...you really want...me?" he asks. Josh and his issues.

That question makes the stab of hurt show on Avalon's face that he feels in response, and he takes a step back from Josh. What a splash of cold water that was!

"Why wouldn't I want you?" he then asks, his expression confused and hurt. "We just.. spent all day, and then.." Oh boy. Now he was really confused.

Avalon drags in another breath and then forces his voice to not waver as he says "I.. guess I shouldn't have asked you that. I'm sorry that I.. assumed that.. that.." That you liked me too..
