A/N this chapter has been brought to you from a over active imagination after looking at picture of Elyes Gabel getting ready for a photo shoot with Getty Images. Different clothes though.

"Nope nope nope" Paige declared "you sit down. You aren't going out like that"

"What am I a teenage girl? You aren't my dad" Walter replied grinning.

"Uh oh he's joking. He must be nervous" Slyvester whispered to Cabe who chuckled in response. Walter rolled his eyes and sat down as his girlfriend rushed up stairs. Thomas grinned and Cabe snorted as Conner made the sound of a whip.

When she come downstairs Walter paled. "No. You know I hate that." Everyone leaned forward interested in what was in the bag she was carrying.

"Like it or not you're a celebrity now. A Los Angeles celebrity at that. A certain look is exspected of you at these things." Cabe clicked on to what they were talking about and nodded "She's right kid. It's the price of your fame. You remember what the media reported the last time you didn't do it. The people there are going to exspect you to put extra effort into your appearence tonight" He said. Walter muttered unintelligibly ending it with "Traiter" towards Cabe who shrugged and sat back.

Conner snorted with laughter "This dickhead famous? Since when?" He laughed. Walter glared darkly at Cabe and Paige "Too long" he replied crossing his arms. "Don't crease your jacket" warned Paige. Walter threw his hands up in the arm in a huff "So many rules!" He exclaimed. "Fine. Pass me the bloody bag"

He said finally giving in.

Paige held the bag closer to herself. "No way you're too aggressive with it. Just open your legs and I'll kneel down and do it from the floor". She replied not realising how unintentionally dirty that sounded. Louise smacked Sean's arm and glared at him as he choked on his tea a little laughing at Paige's comment. "Get your minds out of the gutter" Louise hissed at Sean, Thomas and Conner who were all laughing.

"Just be happy you don't have to wear all this at work everyday" Paige said getting down on the floor and rustling through the bag while Walter still muttered to himself childishly. "Where are you going anyway?" Louise asked intrigued "A fancy Art Gala in Dublin" Walter replied "I don't see why it's important. Art is pointless".

Paige rolled her eyes at him. "Walter we spoke about this. Art has meaning to many people. You're going to have to fake interest when we are there if you want this evening to go well. There will be several potential clients there that want to discuss Scorpion's work. I can't do all the talking for you." She chided. "Now hold still"

"Oh my god. Oh my god" Thomas exclaimed excitedly almost bouncing on his seat slapping his brother on the arm. "She's putting makeup on him like a fucking girl!" Conners eyes widened as he realised he and Thomas now had new ammunition to tease Walter. Their laughter was cut short however with a glare from Cabe.

"There done" Paige finally announced standing up and admiring her work. "Thank god" Walter replied relieved "That was hell". Paige shook her head giggling at Walter's exaggeration.

Conner made a concentrated effort to look away. The natural looking makeup had just enhanced Walter's already good looks. He'd been attracted to his former neighbour since he'd returned to Ireland recently and this new look teamed with his exspensive looking suit was NOT helping.

He subtly licked his lips hoping that no one was watching. Though he'd dated girls in the past he never felt anything for them one way or the other but he'd never had feelings sexual or otherwise for another man.

This whole visit confused him. The second Walter had arrived his cock had twitched at the sight of the younger man. He'd inwardly rejoiced when he realised the woman that arrived with him was with the other man, even though he knew he'd never be able to make a move on him. When Walter had shaken his hand in greeting he had reverted back to that same bully Walter had known years before to cover the fact that he'd been so close to breathing in the smell of him. He mentally sighed realising for the first time that the one person he was physically attracted to was out of his reach and always would be. When Louise insisted on taking photos of Walter and his girlfriend together he excused himself feigning tiredness.

He'd stay at home until Walter returned to America. It was safer that way.

"This whole ensemble seems highly unnecessary. $6000 for a suit that I will rarely wear seems highly wasteful" Walter complained to Paige as they walked towards the car. "I disagree. I'm going to have real difficulty keeping my hands off you" Paige purred groping his bum. "You'll be lucky if I don't drag you into a closet to have my wicked way with you" Walter's heart raced at the thought and the feeling of her wandering hands "I dunno" he smirked as he helped her into the car "that sounds pretty lucky to me".

He'd been looking forward to their first dance as a couple- something he'd wanted to do with her again ever since Labeux's Charity Gala. It wouldve been the only part of the evening with any merit in his opinion. But now he hopefully had something else to look forward to as well as that.

He almost drooled at the thought.
