Maybe you should wear clothes to breakfast...
Waking up in the morning was never his favourite thing, but why oh why did Cait have to have what must be the most comfortable bed. It just made getting out of bed even more needlessly difficult. How did she ever wake up with a bed like this?

Vlad was about to just give up, curl back into the covers to cuddle the pretty girl and doze off again, when he remembered he'd intended to give her a heads up on the birthday present early. Only about a third awake, he managed (through mostly-closed eyes and much yawning) to make it to the door, with boxers on. This was after a light kiss, "Be right back." (she was probably asleep though, he figured), and a very close call on just heading to his room wearing nothing. Luckily he'd remembered to at least put on something at last minute, so it'd taken two sleepy trips to the door to get something that simple right.

But he'd managed it mostly, and left the room, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, to head to the boys wing, not looking where he was going or registering who was around at all. Just autopilot.

	And Vlad would collide with Bobby, who was coming to see if his Little Princess wanted to get breakfast with him. Oh no. There was not a half naked boy walking out of his daughter's room. Bobby twitched noticeably. (Reply to this)(Thread)

He hadn't been looking where he was going, so when he bumped into someone, Vlad took a sleepy step back and mumbled an apology. "Sorry about that." He stopped rubbing his eyes and looked at who he'd run into. Now, it was morning and he wasn't exactly fully functional right now. So instead of realizing he'd just bumped into his girlfriend's dad, while in only his boxers and having just left her room....Vlad just gave a tired wave. "Morning Mr. Drake."

	Yes. Bobby is twitching so much right now. "Morning Vlad. You want to tell me why you're coming from daughter's room?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He blinked, first out of sleepiness then out of 'Oh...oh shit'. "I..." Yeah this looked bad. Talk about truly awful timing. "Went to go see if she wanted to get breakfast." Which...well not like he wore clothes to breakfast so it wasn't that weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh-huh...." Yeah. He doesn't believe you, Vlad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad shrugged awkwardly. "I was? It is breakfast time..." What else could he say? Best not to say 'you can go ask her' because well...he might, and he did not want to spring Cait's angry father on her. He then stood there awkwardly because...well what else was there to do? Wait for whatever freezing really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait heard voices in the hall outside her room and recognized both of them. One was Vlad, who had just left her room, and the other was....oh gods. Dad. Cait jumped out of bed and threw on a tee and some shorts. She opened the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bobby was maybe debating freezing Vlad when Cait opened the door. "Good morning, Princess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi Daddy," Cait said trying to keep as calm as possible. She really hoped he didn't see Vlad coming out of her room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2014-03-06 12:22 am UTC (link)
	Well this was more awkward if anything. And it could make this better...or much worse. Vlad kept quiet and tried to warn Cait with his eyes that yes, this was bad and her dad had seen him leaving the room. In only boxers. Not good. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Not a way to start a morning. At all. It had pretty much entirely derailed him for the day when he remembered the present thing. Okay so there may be an issue with it given her dad's likely low opinion of him now but...it shouldn't ruin a day, or birthday. So Vlad went to find Cait. Yes, he was dressed this time.

	Re: Sometime later under_the_skin 2014-03-03 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	He laughed at that. "Nope, sadly only a boring fully dressed one." He kissed her cheek and removed his hands from her eyes. "Got a minute?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"As long as you think so," he grinned. "Perfect. Was on my way to do this this morning but...uh unfortunate morning run-in that I'd like to take back derailed that. Your dad may really not like me right now, and there's always a chance some of the rest of your family might not either by proxy...but I already got this way before and breaking out of some ice encasings for you is nothing. So...question is, you free next weekend birthday girl?"

	"Lucky me then," he grinned and leaned down to return the kiss. "So does that mean you're free next weekend? ...Preferably all of next weekend?" Cue almost puppy eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled. "You, me, birthday road trip up to the great white north? My french is close to non-existent but...I got you a present" He grinned and pulled out a folded printout from his back pocket. "Night at their famous ice hotel. What do you say?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait launched herself at him, her arms wrapping around his neck. She gave him a deep passionate kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sure he'd hoped for a good reaction, but this was the best reaction. Vlad had the widest smile on as he caught her and spun her around while returning the kiss. It had definitely been worth saving up for this. After a long moment, "I'll take that as an 'I guess I can make time for it'?" Still the silliest of grins on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
