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 It's an outdated novelty that the rich club kids seek out in an innane effort to salute the ol' Studio 54.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.*

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

*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.

*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.

*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*

[mnt_raph]

Well, good. Cause, uh...I'd be piss poor father material.

Honestly, there was a while it really bothered me. The whole, "knowin we're it" thing. *shrugs* Just deal, I guess. Well, until someone uses it against you, then you pop'em one. *smirks* Been workin' good so far.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

well, you're very good lover material, so I'm just gonna take my pill and well... you know *grins*

but you are an amazing thing, could that really happen twice?

[mnt_raph]

*raises an eyebrow*
Might have myself an idea...

Guess that depends on who you talk to. An who ever it is, keep talkin' to them. Them I like.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

Raphael, this is not the time for ideas, this is the time for actions. *rolls over so she's facing him. kisses him firmly.*

I'm sure there are many who think you can't be duplicated. I don't just say that you're amazing, after all.

[mnt_raph]

*Raph has never been this warm. Not on the hottest day of the year, in the sun, on a roof top covered in tar paper*

*he pulls away just enough to respond. his voice is low*
an i'll bet all of them are glad for that.

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

Honey? What is it?

[mnt_raph]

*looks at her with mischief in his eyes. He tucks a stray curl behind her ear and then kisses her neck*

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*closes her eyes, letting out a small noise*

[mnt_raph]

*He chuckles against her skin*

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

*the whimper still very much in her voice*
Well, where'd you come from?

[mnt_raph]

*kisses her right beneath her ear*
Pet store in the Bronx.
