Thanks for reading and reviewing! =)
Seven
Prentiss lets herself into her apartment and sniffs appreciatively. "Okay, you may have to cook every night, Will," she grins.
He laughs. "Yeah, I can order pizza like a champ. I got a Supreme and a Cheese with extra cheese…" He pauses.
She smiles. "Perfect. Did you get breadsticks?"
"Of course," he motions to the container of breadsticks on the coffee table. "There's your Diet Coke on the table, and a plate for you, and The Incredible Hulk is in the DVD player."
Prentiss sinks down onto the couch with a smirk. "Excellent… except…"
"Except what?" Will asks worriedly.
Prentiss sighs. "Except… how are we gonna get him out?"
Will snorts and rolls his eyes. "Without making him angrier? Can't be done." He pulls a slice of pizza onto his plate. "But maybe we could try the Eject button."
Emily gasps. "We have one of those? That's handy. Maybe we should watch the movie first, though."
He shrugs. "We could give it a shot. See what happens."
"Good idea," she nods, picking up her Diet Coke can. She holds it up and clears her throat. "To a great temporary roommate, and to him having a successful Doctor's appointment tomorrow."
"To crutches!" Will raises his Coke can, and they tap their drinks together.
Prentiss sips her soda, then leans back in her seat as the previews begin to play. "Are you sure you won't stay here until you find an apartment? It doesn't make sense for you to pay for a hotel room when you already have a place to stay. I mean, even if you find an apartment, you might not be able to move into it for weeks, and that'll get expensive."
He shakes his head. "I've imposed long enough. Why, you gonna miss me?"
"I'll miss having human companionship," she admits, sticking her foot out to rub against Sergio as he passes. "Not that there's anything wrong with Sergio. He's just not the best conversationalist I've ever been around."
Will chuckles. "Well, we can still hang out. We can make lunch plans every once in a while, and I hate to ask you for more, but I'll need help moving and furniture shopping. I don't think I'll get anything but my clothes and a few CDs from JJ's house."
She smiles. "I'm excellent at picking out furniture. I can definitely help you do that."
"And I'll need someone to take me apartment hunting, too, since I don't have a car or a license," he comments.
"You're so helpless," she sighs.
He shakes his head. "I know it."
"Hey… Won't you need rides to work, too?" Prentiss hits the play button, and the movie begins.
He frowns at her. "Yeah, but I can take the subway. You don't need to do that."
She shrugs. "Well, if you're on my way, I might as well swing by and pick you up. I pass the police station every day on my way to work anyways. Just something to think about. Okay, the movie's starting."
An hour into the movie, the pizzas are mostly demolished and Prentiss and Will are slumped down on the couch, Will's feet up on the coffee table with a pillow under his injured leg and Prentiss' feet resting on his lap. "I don't get The Hulk. What's his deal?" Prentiss chews on the crust of her pizza as the Hulk roars and smashes his way across the screen.
"Well, he's really angry," Will takes a sip of his Coke.
She shoots him a look. "Thanks. I meant why do people root for him? I mean, whenever he's not the science guy, he's a menace to society. He's—" She glances over at him and stops when she notices his expression. "What?"
He chuckles and shakes his head. "Nothing. Just thinking."
She grins uneasily. "Okay… Well let's just watch the movie then, alright?"
Will smiles and pats her foot. "Alright."
