Up on the roof

[mnt_raph]

*The wander lust is calling again, the trapped feeling has returned, but this time the only direction Raph is moving, is closer to Penny. He spent a good portion of yesterday trying to explain himself. Raph isn't exactly gifted when it comes to words, unless they're of the 4 letter variety. Through out it all she listened, and didn't appear to outwardly judge.

Two things stick in his mind as he replays the conversation forwards and backwards in his mind. One, how quickly she went from intent listener to affectionate ... girlfriend? He's not sure if that was some sort of defense mechanism kicking in, or if she was just trying to oust him from his own personal ick. "Qualudes and Champagne" is the other. Raph's heard of the drug only in passing. It's an outdated novelty that the rich club kids seek out in an innane effort to salute the ol' Studio 54.

Raph holds her close. Seems he's not the only one who needs someone to protect them from themselves.*

*nuzzles into him*

[mnt_raph]

you 'wake?

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*yawns and stretches against him*
Yeah

[mnt_raph]

*chuckles*

*in a near perfect Michaelangelo impression, (high tenor voice with no accent)...*
You're so cute I could just pinch you.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

[ooc: I have to die now, no impressions of Michaelangelo should ever be made, I just have to die]

Never did understand that phrase, if someone is really cute, unless you're jealous, why are you gonna pinch them?

*rolls over and looks at him*

I could just eat you up makes more sense than I could pinch you.

[mnt_raph]

[ooc: hey at least it's 'movievoice!mike' and not 'cartoonsurferdude!mike'. consider yourself lucky]

*smirking obviously very amused*
You've put a lot of thought into this. I can tell.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*grins*
actually no, I just came up with it now, cute people don't want to be pinched.

*gets out of the bed* I jut remembered I need to do something

*grabs her purse from where it is with the rest of her stuf all folded and neat, goes and lays back down on the bed, starts rummaging through the purse*

[mnt_raph]

Yeah well, what we want and what we need are sometimes two very different things.

*props himself up on his elbows watching her rummaging with interest*
If you need to streetside, lemme know. Don't wanna keep you if you got stuff to do.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't need to be pinched.

No, I just needed to...

*finds a little container*

There they are.

*takes a pill out of the container and swallows it*

[mnt_raph]

*He just stares. It's not that he's shocked by the pills. I mean, April used to take them. It's what the pills represent that just floors him.*

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

Once a day whether I need 'em or not. *grins*
I'm sorry, I should have went to the bathroom, but I though you might think... I didn't want you thinking I...

[mnt_raph]

*shakes himself out of it*
No no no. It's cool. Just a ... small shock I don't think I could explain right if I tried.

*gently puts a finger over her mouth*
I don't. So don't worry about it. Kay?

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*shakes her head talks around his finger* It was a one time thing and it went too far.

[mnt_raph]

*pulls hand back*
Feel free to tell me to fuck off, but can I ask why?

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

ok, I was touring with this band cause I was determined that if I gave full attention to the guitarist...

We were bandaids, no sex, just blowjobs, and I thought if I gave it all to this guitarist he'd stop settling and be as good as he could, ok that was the plan but it turned into me falling in love and him going back to his wife...

Nearly all my friends left me alone in our hotel in New York. So There Saphirre's pills were, I didn't do that stuff, but it was better than how I was feeling... William, my friend, found me. That's all I remember. They pumped my stomach, I guess. Not a happy story

[mnt_raph]

*opens his arms in a gesture very similar to the one she used on him yesterday*
Come'ere.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*moves over into his arms*
Look at you being the good boyfriend?

[mnt_raph]

Yeah well, what can I say? Got myself a good tutor.

*he rests his chin on her shoulder*

Out of curiousity, any chance I can find this guy and break his legs?
*big smile*

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

No, Russell's harmless. *grins*

So, from now on Penny is gonna take her pill in the bathroom so you won't panic. You handled my story better than me taking my pill *giggles*

[mnt_raph]

*shrugs*
You say you're alright, and I'm gonna hold ya' to that. I trust you.

Yeah well, your story is somethin' I'm used to. Shit runs downhill and there ain't no place lower than where I used to live. Pill, on the otherhand ... way outta my circle of knowledge.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*turns her head and kisses his cheek* I could get used to this

Just a precaution I got very used to. When you did the line of work I did, well birthcontrol just goes along with it. Its not a big deal. Its like taking a vitamin or something

[mnt_raph]

*smiles*
good. ain't everyday I find people willin' to put up wit' me.

It ain't so much the pill. That I'm used to. April uses the stuff. It's uh...guess the idea that ... uh. Well, it's an endangered species thing that I don't think I... *he blushes* yeah.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*eyebrows up* you want to stop taking it?

[mnt_raph]

Not a snowballs chance in hell, thanks.
Okay, this conversation is real unnervin'.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I will not stop taking it, I understand endangered species must have a problem with humans picking and choosing but I'd rather be misunderstood. *grins*
