Room 302, Wednesday Night

[not_a_moonie]

Alana had been paralyzed by too many unfamiliar choices when she tried to pick a movie to watch with Raleigh. In the end, she'd blindly picked one with high ratings that sounded sort of sexy, but not in a crazy nympho kind of way.

Which was how she ended up jiggling the mouse on her laptop, trying to get Messy Mambo to finish downloading before Raleigh showed up. She'd pulled her hair into a stubby ponytail and was dressed in a cute t-shirt with cutouts for her wings and a pair of yoga pants. That seemed about right for a low-key movie date.

"I have a feeling I'm going to get some warped ideas if I keep hanging out with you," Alana teased.

Not that she sounded like she minded.

"You can always return the favor," he pointed out.

[not_a_moonie]

"I should make you watch some stuff from the Robot Kingdom," Alana mused. "They have the trashiest soap operas in the galaxy."

"You're picking the food for that one." Because he also needed to try her cuisine.

[not_a_moonie]

"It might be tacos again," Alana said -- and then shushed, because the movie was getting dramatic.

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

With the disapproving family and the socio-economic divides!

Raleigh grinned, turning his attention to the movie as well. "The fall break to Europe was a little like this sort of resort."

[not_a_moonie]

"Italy was prettier," Alana answered. "But it didn't have ridiculous staff parties. Or at least, none I got invited to. So. Fair trade?"

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

"Maybe our school is too weird for them to invite." That was a distinct possibility.

[not_a_moonie]

"Then it's their loss," Alana decided, snuggling in a tiny bit closer. "Maybe they were afraid we'd be better dancers, and couldn't stand to be upstaged."

This ... was nto so much a distinct possibility.

"Can you dance?" he asked, totally cool with the snuggling. See how cool with it he was? "I can't."

[not_a_moonie]

"I took lessons before my mom left," Alana shrugged. "Not exactly girly enough to get that good at it, though."

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

"It's not girly," Raleigh replied, watching the dancing in the movie. "It's a little like fighting. Real fighting."

[not_a_moonie]

"It's girly when it's a bunch of little girls twirling around in dresses," Alana answered, then gestured to the screen. "But yeah, what he's doing? Not girly at all. More like fighting."

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

"With a lot more lifting." That was important. And a reason to work out more.

[not_a_moonie]

"And a lot sexier," Alana noted. Which was also important to her.

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

There are two types of people!

"Duly noted."

[not_a_moonie]

Alana side-eyed him. "What does that mean?"

She wasn't going to jump him right that second or anything, but she really wasn't in this dating thing to be a nun. So if he had issues around sexiness...

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

"That I should learn to dance." A beat. "As long as I don't have to wear tights for it."

[not_a_moonie]

Good boy.

"Absolutely no tights," Alana said, then -- to tease him -- added, "Got an opinion on pants like his?"

Her own was in favor.

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

"...circulation cutting." And oh god, he wanted to cover his crotch out of sympathy for the torture.

[not_a_moonie]

"You'd learn to cope," Alana said trainquilly.

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

"I'll stick to jeans," Raleigh replied. "I am not made for fashion."

[not_a_moonie]

"Jeans are fine," Alana decided. "I'm happy as long as I can move. I can't stand clothes that get in my way."
