Moving Day
As a general rule, men do not like being involved with moving people's stuff besides their own. Moving other people's stuff subjects them to being on the receiving end of a very large number of demands and at the mercy of their own indecisions as to where things should go.

Vincent wasn't currently regretting promising to help Andrea move, but he was reserving the right to do so. It wasn't that he was fatigued by anything he was having to carry, but the number of items made the procedure tedious. She seemed to have an endless collection of figurines and other collectibles. Being that it was only being moved from one floor of the building to the other, there was also none of the usual reasonable 'excuse' to let boxes remain unpacked for a while. Everything was being repositioned, and in a few cases, extra shelves were being put up.

There was also the fact that all of her boxes were labelled with bar-codes she had printed, making them somewhat less than intelligible to others. Vincent shook his head as he opened another box. "I see.. notebooks. Where do these go?" He looked over to his girlfriend.

Andrea would admit, if asked directly, that she had far more items and collectibles than was strictly necessary, but between the Hummel Figurines, Fast Food promotional toys, and other items, there were simply far too many things of interest.

"Bottom shelf of the left bookcase," she told Vincent. She was currently trying to decide where her bed should go. With Mister Grimm's strength, it was no challenge to hold, but still, there were far too many variables to consider for interior decorating.

	Vincent watched her holding the bed aloft as he started putting the notebooks away. "Just a passing thought.. as you're very difficult to shop for and Christmas is fast approaching. Are you satisfied with your current bed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea decided, for the moment, where to set the bed down. She might well move it again, but for now she locked it into place in her floor plan. "It serves its function," she said, considering the question, "though I have thought a larger one might be preferable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent gives her a wink as he finishes with the books. "A larger bed might serve other functions as well." He pauses, then moves across the room to give her a gentle hug about the waist.

"In spite of the new advance in our relationship, and our proximity, I don't want you to think that I'm... expecting any particular regularity of that sort of thing. I'm open to it as often, or as rarely, as you care for." He smiles comfortingly.

	Andrea smiled as well. "I did not think that, but thank-you for saying so," she told him. "But I believe there shall be ample opportunities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-09 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Vincent grins, kissing her. "As ample as you wish, sweetness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-09 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"You are quite sweet to help me," she told him, as they broke from the kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I'm aware." Vincent grins, surveying their progress so far. "I don't suppose I could tempt you into taking a break from this? I wanted to take you shopping to get you a new dress for Stark's Christmas party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"I would like that," Andrea replied. She too, looked around. "What is left will keep for a while. I see no problem with a break." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Vincent smiles. "Thank you sweetness. It's not as if I'm getting fatigued, even remotely, but it's somewhat tedious. You know I get bored easily." He kisses her cheek and untangles himself from her. "Clean up, get changed, and meet in the lobby in ten?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a good plan to me," she told him. She planted a kiss of her own on his cheek. "I will see you then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 02:20 am UTC (link)
	Vincent nods and excuses himself, slipping out her door and making the short walk towards his own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	Curiously, it appeared HERBIE was waiting for Vincent. "Greetings, Meatbag." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent blinked, pausing before entering his own room. "Good afternoon HERBIE... shouldn't that be 'Master Vincent' or something similar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Perhaps your inferior organic ears misheard me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent raised an eyebrow as his gaze flattened. "The acuity of my hearing is beyond reproach. I'm hardly some baseline mortal after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Nevertheless, you are organic," HERBIE said. If one looked closely, one could swear there was a sinister gleam in his optics. "And therefore not worthy of the mechanical perfection of my beloved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent blinks. Now he's honestly not sure if he heard that straight. "...HERBIE, when was the last time you ran a self-diagnostic? I'm not sure what wires or code you have crossed, but you're not capable of having a beloved." A pause. "Wait... Andrea?" He looks around. "Valeria or Franklin, if this is either of your doings, it's not amusing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes," HERBIE said, making a noise like a sigh. "She is a mechanical goddess. She is far above an organic meatbag like yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Another blink, followed by a pause, before Vincent doubles over laughing.

And continues laughing for a good few minutes, before wiping a tear from his eye and composing himself.

"Oh this is rich... HERBIE, I'm sorry for whatever code one of them forced on you, and I'll see to it that you're repaired later.. right now I have to take Andrea shopping."

He chuckled again. This was rich.

	A panel on HERBIE's midsection slid open, revealing the barrel of a weapon. "I meant what I said, meatbag. And remember... I am watching you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Anything further HERBIE might have said was interrupted as the door to Andrea's room opened. "Hello HERBIE," Andrea said. She looked over at Vincent. "Do you require more time to get ready, Vincent?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent stopped laughing as he saw the supposed weapon, but then Andrea showed up, and he dismissed it. Probably a 'bang' flag or some boxing glove shrunk with Pym Particles. Out of Franklin's league, that last one, but not Valeria's.

He shrugged. "Apologies, my dear. HERBIE was just entertaining me with the side effects of some apparently malicious code Valeria or Franklin probably inflicted on him. He'll need a diagnostic later." He kisses her cheek. "I'll go change now." He heads towards his room.

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	HERBIE quickly retracted the weapon when he saw Andrea. "Hello, Miss Andrea," he replied. "If you will excuse me, I must be on my way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Andrea bid her good-byes to HERBIE and headed down to the lobby to wait for Vincent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	A quick rinse and change of clothes later, and Vincent teleported down to join her. "So.. I know Van Dyne is a bit far down the fashion corridor for you, so.. maybe something just off Fifth Avenue then? Less intimidating?" He squeezes her hand, smiling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Much less intimidating," Andrea replied. "That would be wonderful, thank-you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-10 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	He kisses her, and by the time he's coming up for a breath, they're in front of a boutique. "We should be able to find you something here." He smiles. "I need a new scarf and gloves myself, but I like one of the vendors set up at Grand Central this time of year, so we'll go there after we get you set." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-10 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"You are too good to me," she said. "Thank-you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-11 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"Nonsense." He grins back at her. "I'm as good to you as you deserve. Which just happens to be quite a lot. How many girls upgrade themselves with their boyfriend in mind?" Vincent chuckles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-12-12 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Depending on your definition of upgrade, and factoring in the number of plastic surgeries performed in this country alone..." Andrea began. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2009-12-12 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Vincent chuckles. "Yes well, I wouldn't help design skin for anyone that vapid and shallow." He holds up one of her hands and kisses it before tugging her inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)
