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.

	"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)

	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)

	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."

	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..

"Because I'm? I don't know," Josh sighs, moving to find back down. "I'm...I really don't know. I'm not used to the idea of...someone actually...liking me," he says, putting his head in his hands.

"Okay...wait..." he takes a deep breath. "I need to stop thinking myself in circles. I really like you Ava. And unless I'm reading things wrong...and please tell me I'm not...you like me too, right?" he looks up at Ava. "I...think I deserve a slap upside the head for worrying about things too much again."

	"I don't know.." whispers back Avalon, looking distressed. "I.. I've never felt like this before and had my belly feel all unsettled such as it has been... I thought it was just me, I didn't realize it was both of us.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Josh nods and swallows. He looks down a moment. Okay...think. Can't believe I'm gonna say...think...this but what would Henry do? Eventually Josh gets an idea. He stands back up and walks over to Ava. The healer offers a nervous smile before leaning down and kissing the Blue Lantern. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, at least things had switched up onto their head again and Avalon was so confused he didn't know which way was up. Or why Josh was suddenly kissing him.

Avalon was starting to believe that humans were very, very confusing creatures. It was starting to make him rather vexed that he couldn't seem to be able to figure them out. It was a lot easier to just concentrate on kissing Josh back.

	Josh is rather confused with himself and people is general. He decides to just focus on the kiss as well. The healer slips his arms around Avalon and starts to walk them back to walk them back towards the couch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry steps down the stairs, having talked to his father and caught up with him. "So... what did you guys want for din..ner?" Henry asks, coming around the corner, then pausing as he sees Avalon and Josh making out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Crap! is all that Avalon can think, before he turns a bright red and gently tries to pull himself back a bit from Josh's lips. "Uhm.. I.. uh..." he stammers, before the boy then takes on a rather anxious expression. Avalon has no idea what to say! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Josh goes red as well. He curses himself for not paying more attention to his life sense. The healer offers no resistance to Ava pulling away. He just looks over with wide eyes and a deep blush. He tries to speak but just gets a little 'eep'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-25 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Henry merely raises his eyebrows. "Spaghetti?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Avalon is the first to speak, and takes a big deep breath and nods to Henry. "Yea. That sounds great." he then says, before he drags in a breath and asks "Would you let my wings free now, please?" Wow. That wasn't as bad as he expected. Avalon looks to Josh, giving the taller boy an encouraging smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
