Room 322, Wednesday Morning

Didi had packed for the trip to New York (jeans, boots, tank tops, jackets, all in a color palette ranging from black to black -- really, did you expect anything different?) and sat on her bed by the zipped suitcase, waiting for Jaime to get back from his visit with his family.

There was a gaily-wrapped box sitting next to her. Jaime might have forgotten what he'd said the last time she'd asked about when he would wear a kilt -- which she did every so often, just to keep him on his toes -- but she hadn't. And the conditions he'd proposed were, while clearly meant sarcastically, entirely favorable in Didi's eyes.

She checked the wall clock and folded her hands in her lap, completely at peace with her thoughts for the moment.

[OOC: For the roommate, unless someone else needs to grab her before the trip.]

Jaime walked into the room lugging a some huge bags. He had clothes and stuff and also tons of Christmas loot.

"Hi, honey, I'm hooooome!" he called far too loudly for such a small room.
weldedtomyspine: (more than mildly amused)

"And have my dinner on the table," he agreed with a smirk as he heaved his bag onto his bed and let out a sigh of relief.

"Didja miss me?"
weldedtomyspine: (chortling)

"Ooooh, present!" Jaime grinned.

"And it was great. Home cooking, seeing Paco and Brenda. Made up for the chores, the sister, and the fact that my two best friends are dating and I feel all third-wheel-y." Most of the complaints were good-natured. Jaime rather liked the way his life was going.

"Probably saving for the newbies, yeah," Jaime grinned. Despite being a recent newbie himself.

Then he eyed the box. "You shouldn't have," he said without opening it. "In fact, you probably really</i< shouldn't have..." He eyed the box some more.

Oh, that was a very reassuring expression. Except for the part where it wasn't. He opened the box and looked inside.

"Oh, yeah, you definitely shouldn't have." He was actually rather amused, though. And glad that he'd taken the time to snag a little something for his roommate, too.

"Saturday?" Jaime asked, trying to sound innocent. He had no idea what she was talking about. Really!
weldedtomyspine: (a bit distracted)

[personal profile] weldedtomyspine 2009-12-31 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. You don't say!"

...

"And what does that have to do with the kilt?" Like he didn't know.
weldedtomyspine: (trying hard not to laugh)

[personal profile] weldedtomyspine 2009-12-31 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Um... are you sure?" She still had a chacne to let him off!
weldedtomyspine: (lost in thought)

[personal profile] weldedtomyspine 2009-12-31 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"How hard can it be?" Jaime asked with the sort of confidence that only those who had no clue could manage.

"But if you want to go out into the hall, take this with you." He dug around in his bag for a moment and tossed her a box.
weldedtomyspine: (lost in thought)

[personal profile] weldedtomyspine 2009-12-31 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Which left him to... figure this whole kilt thing out.

It wasn't that the mechanics were all that hard. But it just felt... like he was wearing it wrong.

Jaime glanced down at his kilt, which looked find no matter how wrong it felt.

"I don't know... I don't think it fits right." It fit just fine.
weldedtomyspine: (lost in thought)

... "I knew it," Jaime sighed. "I look like a complete and utter idiot."
weldedtomyspine: (trying hard not to laugh)

[personal profile] weldedtomyspine 2009-12-31 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Jaime admitted with a grin. "But you actually look pretty good in it."
weldedtomyspine: (sheepish)

[personal profile] weldedtomyspine 2009-12-31 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm..." Jaime thought about it. "if you want to? I mean, I think you could make it work. Though... it'd definitely take some getting used to."
weldedtomyspine: (lost in thought)

"I... actually don't know... I suspect my sanity would thank me for a break..."
weldedtomyspine: (LOL)

Jaime laughed. "Bring me back a souvenir or something." His bed looked soooo inviting, after all.
weldedtomyspine: (more than mildly amused)

"Have fun," he called after her.
