Special
They'd been roommates for a couple of months now. Minnie hadn't received any word yet, but she paid her share of the bills with what she got for managing. Which had included all the bookings, ready and waiting, for the upcoming tour. They had a bus, enough venues to make it profitable, the right hotel reservations, and everything the band, particularly Pauline, needed to feel comfortable. Minnie had triple-checked obsessively and everything seemed to have come together, ready to set out next week. So they'd celebrated at the club tonight, at length in the DJ booth. And he'd promised, quite believably, that he wasn't done, so Minnie's very interested as they get home.

	He gets her as set up in bed as he can, then heads to the kitchen and makes her another drink, and keeps everything out to make more, figuring this may take a bit of doing. He returns with the drink in a larger glass several minutes later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie, not normally a heavy drinker at all, downs it very, very quickly. "Last time, it was three years," she said quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-11-09 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "Its only been a couple months. I'm sure it'll be alright." he offers quietly, taking her empty glass, and going back to refill it. He's back much quicker this time, having set things up on his last trip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And one more, downing it. This time, she just reaches her arms out to indicate he should get in the bed. "Thank you. I'm a lightweight, fortunately. And right, he's... there's no reason to think it'll take that long again." ...there's no reason to think taht it won't, either, she doesn't say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gets his shoes off, but otherwise stays dressed, crawling into bed with her and offering a shoulder. "Ok, let me know if you need anything else. And... I'm here for as long as you need me, Minnie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She lays her head on his shoulder. "Thank you. But I won't hold you to that if you get a girlfriend or something before he comes back and she wants me to move out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He shakes his head. "I don't think there's much chance you're going anywhere til you're ready. We go out together, the only girl I've brought home was the one you picked out... and bad as it may sound, I'm totally ok with this. We're just getting to the point where the music is making money, a real recording contract could mean a lot more. The show is doing well with the cross promotion... keeping things light with most of the girls I meet is really ok right now. And you're a great roommate."

	Minnie listens. "...Okay," she says softly. "Thank you. You are, too." The being overwhelmed with how sweet and thoughtful he is does not, apparently, happen any less when she's drunk, and she cuddles close. "Guess I got lucky. Never got lucky the other time. It... hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-11-09 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm still pretty sure I'm the lucky one." he replies, nestling in. "I'm sorry you got hurt last time, and I'll try and make sure you don't get hurt this time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-11-09 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Why are you sorry? Its not like its something you're leaving behind. This is a fill in time for both of us. We're good for each other... for right now. But... maybe we should find something to call one another that you're comfortable with, given how far into D &s this relationship has gone, to avoid anything coming up that might be an issue again?"

	"I can't leave it behind; he's everything. But I mean dwelling on the last time. I know it's not as bad; you won't ever let it get as bad. I trust you." Minnie shrugged thoughtfully. "I guess. Master and Dearest are Special, but I was never good with labels in general." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dinosaur_jr 2011-11-09 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	He nods, considering. "You've never had to be. But this is a little different, and it might get easier if there was something simple as a 'go to'. Any preferences on what I should call you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She touches his face wistfully, eyes still a tiny bit hazy. "No particualr preference, as long as it's not explicitly Yours...although..." if she could ever be possessed entirely by someone other than her sweet Master, it wtould be DJ, but she shake that out of her head now. It wouldn't do to start thinking of circumstances where you'd beg someone to lay claim to you if you don't ever want those circumstances to happen. Especially when you're tipsy. "You think of something, DJ"

"I hadn't really thought about it too much, and... it wouldn't be. I'd never try to lay claim to you." He'd love to, but he won't. "But still trying to think of something fitting. Once we find something though, any thoughts on getting you a new choker, with a suitable pendant with... whatever pet name we decide on engraved on it? Just as a temporary measure and reminder... its something you can always take off when the time comes, but you have a home tile then."

"I'm sure you wouldn't, well, unless the unthinkable happened and you needed to basically keep me alive. You know the problem with drinking to get stupid thoughts out of one's head is that they apparently get out through one's mouth." She shakes her head near violently, trying to dismiss that horrible thought.

"Sorry. Anyway, that sounds... really nice, actually, DJ."

	"I wasn't sure on that one. Collars can be kind of personal, but I thought it might help. So... what should your engraved pendant say? I'm still trying to think of something that fits... and you're the one who has been drinking, so you're bound to come up with something interesting." he teases, not even approaching that first thought.

"Yeah, it is, but... I can't wear this 'til he comes back," she says of the choker she was clutching, which she's set on the nightstand. "And.. it'd be good to have something solid." She smiles at the teasing. "Ah. I see. You're taking advantage of me. I don't know, DJ. I said I wasn't good with labels. I mean, I know what pet names are in general; it's nice when people get called Tesoruccia or Schatze and those are the same thing and I cannot for the life of me remember what the English word is right now oh yes Treasure hush I'm five foot two and had three of those things."

	He can't help but grin. "Yep, guilty. We have wild sex when you're sober, and I get you drunk to take advantage of your classical education." he agrees readily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, giving her a gentle squeeze. "Didn't say you were. Rolling it over in my head as a term of endearment. I kind of like it... just... wondering what it was you said before, the translation. Or reverse translation, I guess?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
