"You are such a pussy," Aarch noted, disapproval dripping from his tone.
"Shut up."
The answer was slurred but Norata congratulated himself for still sounding as authoritative and curt as usual and took another swig of his bottle of beer in felicitation. It didn't discourage the blue-eyed immensely irritated goof sitting across from him though.
"No, you shut up," Aarch pointed a finger into his face, "You've been lusting after this girl for months! Months! You dragged each one of us to some show she was in; you've been practically stalking her like a creeper! I've gone to a musical for you! And you –as I've tried to explain since day one- are a star! You don't need this; she should be the one crawling, trying to get into your bed!"
Norata didn't dignify that with an answer, he merely drank some more glaring daggers at his brother over his bottle.
"Or," the idiot just did not know where to stop, "You could pick one of the girls that are trying to get into your bed! Back me up here Adium!"
The redhead looked across the room and at the captain with disdain:
"I think she is into you Norata," she said. "The flowers was a good idea, why did you back out?"
He mumbled something incomprehensible as Aarch went into another tirade on how he didn't fucking need flowers to get a girl to go to bed with him.
"Excuse me?" Adium inquired.
"It's the colour!" he declared suddenly, "There I was waiting for her to come out of the changing room and her friends came out and were all like," he adapted a high pitched voice no one would ever hear him speak with again, "'Woo coral roses! That means desire and passion, right? Who are they for?'" he looked at the stunned couple with mad eyes, "What was I supposed to do? Go, give the girl of my dreams flowers that practically sang anthems of how much I wanted to fuck her?"
There was a moment of silence and Aarch and Adium exchanged a look.
"So you just threw them at the security guard with a note to be given to Keira and ran away like a pussy?" Adium raised an eyebrow.
Norata growled and sank deep into his armchair, cuddling his bottle –his only trusted friend- to his chest.
"You do realize that security guard probably knew who you are and will tell her anyway, right?" Adium asked further, "Even if you said 'just a fan', when she asks..."
Aarch raised a hand to indicate for her to shut up and moved towards his brother somewhat solemnly, squatting to get to eye level with him:
"You do want to fuck her right?" he asked.
Norata made a meek sound.
Keira set the flowers in a vase and smiled to herself.
She had guessed who they were from before the confused security guy had started mumbling about a lunatic man that resembled a famous footballer.
She would have to return the gesture.
Prompt from GFSista: "young Norata and Keira and a bunch of flowers". Hope it's good :)
BTW: I know nothing of flowers, wikipedia says coral roses represent desire and passion. I think Norata doesn't know the sentiment side of the thing much either.
