Guy Talk
Unicorn Princess
Disclamer: Mutant X doesn't belong to me I think it belongs to Marvel this is a campanion story to Girl Talk
Jesse Killmartin glanced up at Brennan Mulwray as the other put a large Pizza and two beers on the table. "Dinner is served." The two of them were the only ones at home. Adam was meeting with some old colleague and the girls had gone clubbing refusing to let either of the guys come with.
"Girls night out." Shalimar had informed them.
Jesse grinned and took a slice of Pizza it was no secret among the members of Mutant X that the young molecular would live on Pizza if he could. Brennan settled in a cross from him taking his own slice. "Heaven." Jesse muttered.
"No Heaven is a pretty girl." Brennan informed him taking a bite.
"You mean like Shalimar?" Jesse asked and then laughed as his friend choked on the pizza he'd had in his mouth.
"No I do not!" Brennan snarled taking a drink of his beer.
Jesse laughed harder. "Brennan, Brennan, Brennan." He shook his head taking a drink of his own beer. Ignoring Brennan's glare he went on. "I see the way you look at her man why don't you do something about it."
Brennan didn't answer he simply chewed slowly staring off into space. Why didn't he do something about it? That was a very good question. A question Brennan didn't have an answer. For. And it bothered him that his feelings for his teammate were so transparent.
Oh he knew Emma Delauro probably knew, but then Emma knew a lot of things that she never let on. Secrets that the she kept quiet about respecting privacy as she called it. But to have Jesse lay his secret on the table.
"Maybe I'm being cautious." Brennan reached for another slice of pizza. "Maybe I'm not ready to get serious with anyone. And maybe I'm unsure of myself."
Jesse didn't buy that for a second. If there was one thing about Brennan Mulwray it was that he was always sure of himself. The guy radiated self-confidence. "Or maybe you're unsure of her."
Brennan smiled in agreement as he reached for the last slice of Pizza. It was amazing how fast Jesse could put it away. In fact Brennan had once asked him if he phased the food out of him when he was finished. Jesse could eat Shalimar under the table and with her feral genes Shalimar ate enough to feed an army.
He had managed to polish of nearly all of the pizza in front of them in less than fifteen minutes. Brennan was still wondering this when Shalimar and Emma strode in followed by a haggard looking Adam. "So. What have the two of you been up to?" Shalimar asked as she sat down next to Jesse.
Brennan smiled at her remembering a few weeks earlier when he'd asked her and Emma the same thing. "Just Guy talk."
