Summary: "Uh no, I don't think so why?" Connor breathed, his eyes shot against the door when Stephen leaned over and pressed his mouth gently against his in a soft fleeting kiss. Special thanks to JIM for the idea :]
Let it all out!
"Abby, do you have a minute?" Stephen shouted down the hall watching as Abby's shoulders slumped and a sigh passed through her mouth.
"Not really, I'm kind of in the middle of heading for the shower, you know since I'm covered in god knows what." Abby sighed opening her arms to show the gunge covered shirt clinging tightly to her thin feminine frame before dropping them back down to her side with a loud thud.
"Yeah sorry, can I talk to you afterwards, it's about Connor." Stephen whispered softly, a smile pulled at the corners of her mouth when she nodded, Stephen grinned watching her again turn on her heels and push through into the girl's locker room.
Stephen sighed boredly fiddling with the large black beads of Cutters abacus sitting against the desk surface, his eyes dropped slowly resting his chin against the desk, watching the oval shaped counters slide easily over the large metal pole snapping against the others with a sharp sound.
"Come on then what do you want to talk about?" Abby smiled softly sitting herself in the chair opposite her hands ruffling the short damp strands of hair with the pale pink towel, playful blue eyes appeared more relaxed and friendly when Stephen looked away nervously.
Abby had noticed that over the past few weeks Stephen's personality had shifted from the arrogant monster hunting, sly man that she had met that night in the forest of dean into the kind, playful almost shy man that was sleeping with her best friend, she couldn't help but feel that maybe Connor was exactly what Stephen was waiting for, vice versa.
Even Connor seemed to have changed from the childish, nervous wreck to an almost confident, playful young man; he'd changed from the annoying clingy student that drooled each and every time she walked into the same room as him now however he was sensible, playful and more mature when she was around.
"It's about Connor, I know that I'm being a little impatient, I said that he could take as long as he needed but it's been a week now Abby and he hasn't breathed a word about it, I don't know what he thinks about any of this and I want to push things along a little. So I was wondering if you knew anything that I could do to show him that I really mean it." Stephen mumbled softly watching Abby's smile widen and a small laugh passed through his mouth.
"Stephen look, you and Connor ended up just hooking up after a one night stand, you never gave him a real date and he probably doesn't see you two as much as a couple because you haven't followed the step by step guide to a budding romance." Abby mumbled.
"So...I have to ask him on a date?" Stephen question a soft smile curled at the tip of his mouth.
"Exactly just make it something simple like a movie and something to eat, make him feel like he really means something to you. And throw him a few hints as to where you want things to go Stephen you can't just leave all of the hard choices on him, that's not fair, he needs your input as much as you need his."
"Thank-you Abby," Stephen grinned pushing himself out of the chair, leaving Abby in the office her finger's combing through the damp strands of blond hair. "Wait what would Connor actually want?" Stephen asked quickly furrowing his eyebrow when Abby rolled her eyes.
"Just take him somewhere nice to eat then go home and just cuddle with him for a while, I grantee he'll be putty in your hands Stephen." Abby smiled, again listening to Stephen thank her before walking away from the door leaving way for Claudia to step into Nick's office and drop the file onto his desk.
"What's up with him?" She asked arching her eyebrow when Stephen walked past the door in a hurry.
"I have no idea." Abby laughed.
(-X-)
Connor moaned softly pressing his forehead against the cold glass surface of his desk, the laptop hummed against the surface emitting low vibrations that tickled the skin of his forehead. This was impossible he couldn't even remember what had happened last night never mind what had happened four days ago, Cutter was volunteering him for the impossible.
"What are you doing?" Lester drawled stopping in the door way to watch Connor for a minute his eyebrow rose when the student lifted his eyes to acknowledge his boss before again falling back down to the table.
"I'm thinking," Connor mumbled, eyes fell to a slow relaxed closed.
"You're all in sane, you are I'm the only normal person in this place." Lester groaned walking away from the door just as Stephen pushed past him, his eyebrow cocked in confusion for a minute when his gaze landed against Connor, the student's head pressed against the glass surface of his desk, computer humming loudly and files scattered across the floor.
"Hey," Stephen greeted a grin snaked against his mouth when Connor's head shot up from the desk, one of the various pieces of paper attaching itself to skin; Connor groaned swatting the stray report from his body and smiling softly at Stephen who pushed himself against Connor's desk.
"Hey, whats up?" Connor mumbled softly snatching the stack of papers and tapping them against the table to make it appear as if he was working on something rather than being just sat there thinking about Stephen.
"I was wondering if you were busy tonight." Stephen asked his mouth still the bright grin that Connor admired briefly.
"Uh no, I don't think so why?" Connor breathed, his eyes shot against the door when Stephen leaned over and pressed his mouth gently against his in a soft fleeting kiss.
"Will you come out on a date with me then?" Stephen whispered his mouth inches away from Connor's half lidded eyes, his breath slowly tickling the soft skin of Connor's mouth, Connor blinked once before nodding his head and leaning forward to capture Stephen's mouth in another soft kiss.
"Then I shall pick you up at seven," Stephen whispered softly pushing himself away from the desk and leaving the room, a smile evident against his cheeks.
"I look forward to it." Connor grinned turning attention back to the empty word document a groan rolled away from his tongue and again his forehead pressed against the desk in a frustrated sigh.
(-X-)
"Stephen, I'm working!" Abby growled snapping the plastic of her gloves against her skin and rolling her eyes when Stephen grinned.
"Come on Abby help me out a little, I don't do romantic gesture's there just not me." He moaned dropping the smile on his face and watching her from across the room, his back pushed up against the door to avoid any unwanted personnel from wondering in.
"Well Connor's no Casanova himself so stop worrying about that, I don't know what you want to say Stephen just look nice and keep talking to each other, even if you don't care just listen to everything that he tells you. And ease yourself into the question don't just demand to know what he thinks of your relationship, you'll scare him and he'll keep it to himself for longer than a week. Just casually drop it in that you want to be with him and ask how he feels about that." Abby sighed tugging at the creature's insides; Stephen cringed shaking his head in hope of disposing of the smell.
"You're good at this romance stuff, I'm useless." Stephen admitted a soft smile snaked against Abby's mouth.
"That's because I'm a woman Stephen and you have always been more interested in the follow up of the date rather than the romantic part." Abby pointed out playfully.
"You know I'm not going that with Connor right? I'm not trying to get him back into bed with this, I really want to be with him Abby and I know that I shouldn't I mean the kid's almost different to me in every way and yet I can't help but want to spend all of my time listening to him tell about Starwars or the deleted scence from Startrek he found over the internet. It's not right Abby." Stephen mumbled a faint laugh passed his mouth, "I love him, so much."
"I know you do, look Stephen if you going to just stand there could you at least move the bin closer, I have another tip for you when you're finished tonight kiss him, but that's it don't go too far, show him that he means more than that." Abby smiled thanking him when Stephen nodded kicking the bin to rest against the side of her desk.
"Has Connor said anything to you about the way he's feeling?"
"Why do you want to know, Stephen, you said that you was going to ask him tonight, share with him how you feel about the situation and how you want things to go." Abby sighed wrinkling her nose before throwing the large pink intesting into the waste bin.
"Because I'm scared that he wants something different to what I want, if he tells me he just wants to be friends I can play along, but if I tell him that I want to be more than friends before he tells me he just wants to be friends, I can't play along with that Abby." Stephen mumbled dropping his eyes nervously to the floor.
"Stephen I wouldn't worry about it, just relax and think positive, don't look for the negatives that might not be there just go for it and prepare yourself for whatever happens next." Abby smiled reassuringly. "I'd give you a hug but... I'm kind of a little sticky at the minute and you're all clean."
"Thanks for being so considerate. I have one more question, where can I take him to eat?" Stephen asked a playful laugh sounded in his vocals.
"Take him to the Beauberry House, on Gallery Road, it's nice and relaxed in there you can just talk and have a nice time together." Abby smiled softly ripping off the gloves and shoving her hands under the running water, "I and a friend went there once, I think you'll like it."
"Thanks Abby I owe you one." Stephen smirked slipping back out of the room, a bright smile snaked against Abby's cheeks before turning off the tap and drying her hands on the clean pale towel sprawled across the sink.
