Flight Club [Flight Shed]

It was Wednesday which meant Gavin was out at the flight shed, snacks and drinks set up, waiting for the rest of the club members to arrive so they could get started. Once everyone had filed in, he started talking.

"Afternoon, guys," he said, just a little on the tense side. Look. Things weren't working. He was allowed. "I had other plans for today but I lost the kriffing plans and they weren't ready anyway. So, today, we're going to fly weird stuff. Yes, weird stuff. Next week, though, we're going to be doing something different. One of our fellow club members," he said with a nod to Anemone, "showed me some blueprints for something new we're going to try out. I haven't had a chance to get Master Skywalker to set it up in the sim's database which is why we're not doing them today. So, today, just...go have fun and eat a lot of food. Or something."

Cranky, cranky.

"Go!"

Cranky.

. . .

Yeah, Tahiri was just going to be over here studying the flight shed and planning that whole roof-somersaulting thing, because no way was she going to confuse herself more by flying one of these things. She'd almost have rather had a coralskipper, really.

Those were at least, whether or not she liked it, familiar.

Ben wandered over, still rubbing his forehead every now and then. "People are giving me a headache," he complained.
weetuskenraider: (Um - Rubbing Neck)

"You too, huh?" asked Tahiri, who'd resorted to pinching the bridge of her nose frequently. "And you've probably got it worse than I do. Everyone's so . . . prickly."
momslilassassin: (Ben: looking up)

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2009-02-18 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded. "I've got my blocks up as high as they go and it's not working. It's like the entire island is annoyed, embarrassed about something, or just plain frustrated." He nudged her shoulder. "Make them stop it."
weetuskenraider: (Suspicious)

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-02-18 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, he'd just nudged her shoulder; she shouldn't be turning even a light shade of red just for that, and yet she was. "How am I supposed to stop it?" she asked, nudging him back.
momslilassassin: (Ben: hello down there)

"I don't know," he said, turning a lovely shade of pink himself. "Just make sure it doesn't involve yelling."
weetuskenraider: (Kinda Meepy)

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-02-18 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"No yelling," Tahiri agreed, suddenly finding out it was a lot less awkward if she didn't look straight at him. "I just want to crawl into bed and hide under the covers until it goes away."
momslilassassin: (Ben: not making eye contact)

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2009-02-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not sure being in bed necessarily helps things," he muttered.

"Probably not." Tahiri had the half-formed idea that if she looked at Ben right now her head might spontaneously combust. "I'm completely out of ideas short of knocking the entire island unconscious. Or just knocking myself unconscious."
momslilassassin: (Ben: focused)

"I would totally cop out and put myself in a healing trance except Leto's teaching me how to use his knives tomorrow," Ben said.

"Is that a good idea?" Tahiri asked. "I mean, if this keeps up tomorrow?"
momslilassassin: (Ben: i am far too wee to be smoldery)

"It'll be something to focus on that isn't everyone else," Ben said. "It helped when I was in the gym earlier today."
weetuskenraider: (Worky-Outy)

"Maybe I'll have to do that later," Tahiri said with a sigh. "Because this is really driving me crazy."w
momslilassassin: (Ben: bw staring)

"We could spar together?" Ben suggested.

That...would probably not help things, Ben, no.

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-02-18 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Tahiri looked up at him, just for a second, and her face turned even redder. "Maybe. I could use the practice."

It probably really, really wouldn't help.
momslilassassin: (Ben: hello down there)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2009-02-18 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Friday?" Ben suggested, swallowed hard heh.

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-02-18 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure." It was getting warm in here, wasn't it? "I'm supposed to spar with Dinah that day, too."
momslilassassin: (Ben: bw scruffy)

"I can stop by and watch, then we could go at it?" If he had any idea about innuendo at all, he'd be horrified with himself.
weetuskenraider: (Mostly Content)

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-02-18 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure," Tahiri agreed. "Could I watch, too? You and Leto, tomorrow, I mean?"

She had the vague idea that she could have phrased that better, but no real idea why. Otherwise she'd probably have been hiding by now.
momslilassassin: (Ben: tiny smile)

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2009-02-18 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben nodded. "I'll try not to cut off anything important," he said with a smile.

"You better not. I like all your parts where they are."

And just think, that could have been so much more awkward.
momslilassassin: (Ben: grin)

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2009-02-18 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Fortunate that they didn't think that way!

"I like them where they are, too," Ben said.
weetuskenraider: (Thinking)

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-02-18 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
She grinned at him, then rubbed the back of her neck. "What are we going to do if this keeps up?"
momslilassassin: (Ben: Ben says "um wtf")

Re: Flight Shed

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2009-02-18 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Move," Ben sighed.

"I like it better when we know what we're actually dealing with," Tahiri grumbled.
