If Looks Could Kill

Post by Sushi »

Darryn's face cracked lightly. Okay, so he wasn't particularly gutterbrained, but he could play ball.



"I think it would be more appropriate to ask if you are?"

ashleigh rose her eyebrow, ever so slightly.



" Not in the least, if I want it, I don't have to do it myself. .... Do it myself is only nice for eating..."

Darryn held up one finger.



"And oil changes. The cost of those things are ridiculous."

Ashleigh looked at him, eyes sparkling.



" Don't like changing your own oil?"

Darryn just looked at her with a small grin.



"It's easy to screw up if you don't know how to do it yourself."

Darryn stepped forward a couple paces.



"It's just a car. I can think of better things to do." -.-'

Ashleigh bit her tongue and shook her head, leaving that one alone.



" I think I need a shower."

Darryn nodded slightly. He did too, but he didn't want to mimic her words.



"I... think I'm going to go find another shirt to ruin."

Darryn smiled slightly.



"I like my personal space bubble to be obvious." Of course he was joking. Of course he had been intending to take a shower anyhow. Of course. Of course. He glanced around, sure that he would be able to find his way back this time.

Glancing to him, she shook her head and merely lead him without words this time, back to his room, then wondered off to her own.

Darryn found that, somehow or the other, all of the soaps in his bathroom had been exchanged. So, he stood there in the water for a good five minutes trying to decide which soap was more manly: rosebud or sweet pea.



This time he pulled out clothes from the very bottom of the closet, hoping that the musky mothball smell would give the rosebud a debonair sort of undertone... or at least cover it up.

Walking out, looking to Darryn as she finsihed up, and came downstairs, looking to him, and smiling lightly.

Darryn glanced down at the floral arrangement that he was carrying. It was actually rather pretty - roses and little white flowers spilling out of the sides of the basket.



"Oh, there you are. I wanted to tell you that I liked this, but I was afraid that if I walked away, I wouldn't be able to find it again." Lies.

" Place it in your room then... and.... you know as well as I do, I can tell where that smell is coming from, it's fine.... I'm just glad you didn't choose the sage under the counter."

Darryn sighed. Damn.



"Sage makes my skin crawl." He hung the flower basket off of a suit of armor.

"There were... I think Skye stole them. Unless you have any other pets that are mad at me?"

Darryn scratched at the shirt he had picked out. The turtleneck was actually rather itchy...



"Why doesn't that seem as reassuring as it should be?"

" ... Because skye pretty much runs the house when I'm absent."



She replied with a small smile, which grew wider as she walked over and took Darryn's shirt off.



" Looks like you did anger him though, itching powder in your clothes... I'd shower again."

Darryn looked down at the light red rash forming over his skin.



"Cracker jacks." The man turned around and stalked off. Steal the soap... {insert mystery word} the clothes... what next? This time in the shower he opted to grab the hand soap and wash with that. Scentless was nice. The man stood there staring at the clothes in the wardrobe. How could he even get in here? And what am I supposed to wear now...?

" You could always go naked... or wear these..."



ashleigh purred, having been standing in the door way the entire time... he thought waaaaaaay tooo loud.

Darryn turned around to look at what she was holding.



"Just as soon as I opted for al natural, I would have something walk up and bite me." he reached out for the fabric.

Darryn snapped his fingers as he pulled on the clothes.



"Ah, you kill me." Then he discovered a slight problem. This shirt was way too small. He could barely move his arms, nonetheless breathe.

" Not yet."



she laughed, noting he had the wrong shirt and tossing the proper one into the room.

"Details." Darryn looked at the shirt and then squirmed. He wiggled and writhed, but try as he might, he couldn't get the shirt to do more than slide up a couple inches at the bottom. Good grief.

Ashleigh heard hsi slight distress and turned and returned to the room, smirking as she walked up behind him and pulled the shirt from his body.

Darryn just sighed and filled his lungs up all the way the moment it was an option.



"Thanks..." He pulled on the properly sized shirt and waited. Surely he was about to get a good taunt.

" ... Your welcome."



ashleigh replied, refraining from the comment on the tip of her tongue, considering a few options.



" want normal food?"

Darryn looked up at her, his eyes wide with surprise. After a total of fifteen seconds he gave her a huge smile.



"What do you have tonight?"

Darryn's face lit up.



"Oh, I like steak." He moved towards her.

Darryn paused for a minute. This was a difficult thing to answer.



"A little of both? I normally just cook the outermost layer so that it absorbs the spices."

" Medium rare it is."

Darryn followed her as though he was practicing to be her shadow. He hovered just a pace or two behind her shoulder.



"I think I like you more now."
