A/N: I hope ya'll are enjoying this, because I love writing this.
Roger stood in Fi's living room astonished. No woman, or man for that matter, had stood up to him as astoundingly strong as she just had. After a few moments of staring at her bedroom door, Roger slowly turned around and opened the door, with a last glance at her closed door, he walked out silently. She took the breath from his words, and yet he was not angered for that. He was beginning to admire her more and more, and even in her rage, she was beautiful, yet he continued to screw things up. "Roger, you are a complete idiot." He muttered to himself while tapping his forehead in disgust. He opened the loft door to darkness. "Good, no one is home yet." He said to an empty loft, and he walked over to his bedroom and sat on his bed. Then laid back on his back, staring at the ceiling. He studied every crack trying hard not to picture Fi's face. It was a face he knew would haunt his dreams tonight. After a few minutes, Roger closed his eyes and fell into a fitful sleep.
"Knock Knock." Mark said to the sleeping form of Roger on the bed. He was given no response. He walked over to the bed and poked Roger's shoulder. "Roger, wake up. Roger...ROGER!"
"Huh what?" Roger yelled, startled. He turned to Mark, "Oh, it's just you."
"Thanks." Mark said rubbing his jaw; Roger had smacked him on his way up.
"Sorry Mark." Roger said, sheepishly.
"It's alright, I need to remember not to startle you awake. Hey can we talk."
"About what?"
"Fi."
"Oh, um, sure." Roger replied a little uncomfortable.
"She likes you Rog."
"How do you know?"
"I just do, and just to let you know, she broke it off tonight."
"Oh Mark, I'm sorry."
"It's alright, I'll survive, but she is an amazing person Rog, I hope you don't plan to do anything stupid."
"I already have."
"What do you mean?"
"We basically had a large fight when she got home."
"Roger you always do this."
"Do what?"
"Fight. When something doesn't go your way, you try to make someone feel worthless. Fi isn't the girl to take that."
"Okay, I already know that, and what is this Shrink Roger to a diminutive size day? 'Cause its working."
Mark sighed, "No Roger, but I'd like Fi to feel welcome around here."
"If she doesn't, it isn't my fault."
"Roger..."
"Okay, yeah it would be, I'll apologize to her tomorrow."
"You aren't just doing it for my sake are you?"
"No Mark, believe it or not, I had already planned to do so."
"Really? Why?"
"Because there is something about her that won't leave me alone, no matter how hard I try to make it to."
"Okay, well I'm glad you're finally learning to grow up."
"Thank you Mark, you raised me well."
Mark beamed then patted his head in a motherly way, "Well dear, it's time for you to go to bed, you brushed your teeth right? Good boy. Good night."
"Shut up Mark," Roger laughed while smacking him with a pillow. Roger then sighed and looked over to his neglected guitar, he got out of bed and walked over to it, he realized as he touched the neck of the guitar that for once he had not retreated into his music. Maybe he was changing. With that refreshing thought he crawled back into bed and fell back into a slumber.
~*~
The next morning Roger woke up to the smell of coffee, he groped his way out of bed and walked out into the living area into the kitchen while rubbing his eyes. Scrambling through the cupboard he found a semi-dusty coffee mug. He looked into it, shrugged, and poured the coffee into the mug. He then walked over to the old, over-stuffed couch, and sat. He reached over for the remote to the old TV and while rubbing one hand through his tangled hair, he flipped the channels until he found a TV station of his choice, as he was about to lean back and enjoy the show when someone knocked at the door. He groaned as he got up, gave a longing glance to the couch, and walked over to the door. "Hello." He said gruffly.
"Morning glory." It was Fi.
"Fi?" He asked incredulously, "What are you doing here?"
"Honestly, I don't know, Aaron told me I needed to come talk to you; apparently he heard from Mark about what happened last night. Do you make it a habit to tell your roommates everything that happens in your life?"
"Seeing as how Mark is like my brother, he pretty much guessed what happened. Look, I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have gone off on you, and you were right, we aren't even dating, I don't know what got into me."
"Its fine I guess. But listen I just don't particularly care for being attacked by people. It's just how I am."
"I'm okay with that."
"What?"
"I said, I'm okay with that. I don't want what happened last night to possibly affect what could happen tomorrow."
Fi smiled, "Me neither."
"So we're good?"
"As long as you don't pull another stunt like that again we are." Fi winked.
Roger laughed, "Yes ma'am."
"So what's for breakfast?"
"Um, Coco puffs?"
Fi laughed, "Sounds good."
~*~
Meanwhile, back at Fi and Aaron's apartment, Aaron was lounging around, finishing up some work he had to do for the most recent exhibit at the MET before it opened. He was scrolling through the computer when someone knocked.
"It's open."
The stranger knocked again. Aaron sighed and walked over to the door, "I said it was open."
"Now Aaron, that's no way to treat a long-lost friend."
"Genevieve?"
"That's me!" Genevieve said grinning broadly.
"Oh my god!" Aaron said laughing and pulling Genevieve into a tight hug. "How are you? Why are you here? I thought you weren't getting back for another month!"
"Woah, slow down fella. I'm good, because I wanted to see you, and I lied about when I was coming back because I wanted to surprise you two."
"Fi will be so ecstatic to see you!"
"Ha! I know. Where is she?"
"Upstairs at the moment."
"Ah, well can I come in?"
"Yes, of course of course."
"Aaron?" Collins' tired deep baritone voice came from a back bedroom.
"In here." Aaron called back to Collins.
"What's going on?" Collins said, his clothes all disheveled and his face drowned in fatigue.
"An old friend is back in town. Genevieve, this is Collins, my boyfriend, Collins this is Genevieve, she is Fi's little sister." Aaron said with an emphasis on little.
"I'm not that little, only a year and a half. Nice to meet you Collins." She said while sticking out her hand.
Collins immediately liked this girl, "Nice to meet you too."
"Okay fellas, let's go upstairs so I can annoy the shit out of Fi."
"Can I help?" Aaron asked.
"Of course!"
The three walked up the stairs, and Genevieve pushed Aaron in front, "You go first."
"Fine." Aaron said in mock annoyance.
"Hello, Hello." Aaron said while walking into the loft. He found Fi and Roger sitting on the couch eating Coco puffs and watching the morning cartoons, "Aw, isn't this a sight to behold. Collins, come here! These two are getting along again!"
"Really?" Collins asked, intrigued by Aarons statement, "Well it looks as if they are, congratulations you guys, you may have the beginnings of a relationship."
"Shut up Collins." Roger said grinning as he put his arm around Fi.
Just then Mark walked in wearing a white t-shirt and flannel boxers. Both Aaron and Collins whistled.
"Oh, I didn't realize I had an audience, and good, you two guys are actually getting along." Mark said, referring to Fi and Roger.
"Yeah they are. Oh, the reason we came up here, Fi I have a little surprise for you." Aaron said.
"Is it a puppy?" Fi asked eagerly.
"No, but it could be."
"Hey!" Genevieve said bounding into the loft. "That was uncalled for."
Aaron grinned, "Sorry Gen, but you have to admit you did act like a puppy following me and Fi around when we were kids."
"That was so before you told me you were gay." Genevieve said blushing.
Fi coughed letting the two know she was present. Genevieve then turned her attention back to Fi. "Hey!"
Fi laughed, "Hey Gen, what are you doing here, you weren't due back for another month."
"I lied."
"Why?"
"'Cause I wanted to surprise you. Did it work?"
"You know it did."
"Plan to introduce me to your friends?"
"Ha. Sure. Gen, this is Roger, Roger this is my little sister Gen." Again there was an obvious emphasis on the word "little".
"For the last time, I am only a year and a half younger than you, I do not think that qualifies for the emphasis on little. By the way he's cute. Roger, you're cute."
Roger blushed and Fi said, "Yeah he is, sorry, but he's mine."
"Ouch. Oh well, I'll somehow survive. By the by, who's that?" Genevieve asked pointing to Mark.
"Oh sorry, Gen that's Mark, Mark this is my little-"
"Sister, I heard." Mark said grinning. "Nice to meet you Genevieve."
"Call me Gen, and you're cute as well." She turned to Fi, "Is he yours as well?"
There was an awkward silence before Mark recovered, "Nope, I'm all free."
"Did I miss something here?" Gen asked, confused.
"Nope, so tell me, how was Africa?" Fi asked.
"Oh wow, it was so amazing, I can't wait to return."
"When do you go back?"
"In about six months or so, I came back to get my medical tests and so such."
"Wow, you went to Africa?" Mark asked, intrigued.
"Yeah." Gen laughed, "I think we covered that one."
"Right, sorry. Why did you go?"
"Missionary work."
"Oh yeah, forgot to mention to you guys, but Gen's a Christian."
A collective "oh" came from everyone in the room. Gen spoke up, "Don't worry, I won't shove a Bible down your throats."
They all laughed.
Mark spoke again, "So um, what did you do?"
"I worked at the clinic there. I'm a general doctor as well as a physical therapist. Came quite handy while I was over there, being of both professions and all."
"You're a doctor?" Roger asked a little uneasy.
"Yeah, what's with you guys and repeating stuff I've already said?" Gen laughed.
Collins decided to speak up, "Don't worry about Mark and Roger, often they hibernate into their own worlds, and block out the real world."
Gen nodded, "I know how that goes. Alright who wants to go out to breakfast? My treat!" All four guys shouted, "ME!" and Fi and Gen just laughed. Alright let's go.
All six of them walked downstairs and Mark, Roger, and Collins started going in another direction than what Fi, Gen, and Aaron were headed. Gen yelled out, "Hey guys! Car is right here." She said pointing to her silver SUV. The guys looked at each other and just shrugged, they all piled into the car. Roger and Fi in the very back, Aaron and Collins in the next row, and Gen in the driver's seat and Mark in the passenger seat. "So, where's a good place to eat?"
Mark shrugged and said, "We don't go out for breakfast, so your guess is as good as mine."
Gen looked at him for a moment, shook her head and said, "Alright guys, we're going on an adventure, first person to pick out a breakfast buffet gets a shiny new penny!" Every one in the back laughed, but Mark just looked out his window.
'Okay, maybe he isn't the socializing type' Gen thought to herself as she pulled out onto the busy street.
"There!" Roger said.
"There what?"
"There, it says IHOP."
"Okay hold on", Gen said as she made a fast turn into the restaurant parking lot, "and because you chose IHOP, you get two new pennies."
Roger laughed, "Thanks." The group got out of the car and walked inside.
"How many?" A girl with a twangy voice said.
"Um...six." Gen said.
"Smoking or non?"
"Non."
"Follow me." She said as she gathered up the menus and took them to a cleaner section. They all slide into the booth, Gen sitting next to Fi and Roger, and Mark sitting next to Aaron and Collins.
Roger asked, "So what's good here?"
"I would say...the pancakes. I think something with the whole International House of Pancakes gives that away."
"Are you always such a bitch?" Mark asked suddenly. The table got quiet.
"Excuse me?" Gen asked.
"I said, are you always such a bitch?"
"I heard you, but why do you think I'm a bitch?"
"Your shitty sarcasm for one..."
"Okay, no I'm not a bitch, but I am sarcastic." Gen said ending the conversation. Just then a waiter walked up.
"What can I get for all of you today?"
Roger said he wanted the chocolate-chip pancakes, Fi wanted an omelet, Aaron and Collins decided upon the Five-star breakfast, Gen wanted the Belgium waffles, and Mark refused to eat. Collins was the first to start a discussion. "So Gen, how was it working with the people in Africa?"
"It was so incredible. I mean all of the people that I worked with were so kind, and my patients were better than my patients here."
Fi turned to her sister and asked about the scenery, and pretty soon the table was in deep discussion of Gen's trip to Africa. Fi then asked her sister about her return, "I know you said you came back for medical tests, why?"
"Oh they just want to make sure I haven't contracted anything over there."
"Like what?"
"Just some viruses, and since I'm direct contact with HIV/AIDS patients all day, they want to make sure I haven't contracted that."
"So you plan to go back."
"Of course, my heart belongs there with the people, you know?"
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
Aaron took the liberty to say, "By the way Roger, if you haven't realized, their whole family is very...deep. They think on a different level than the rest of us losers."
Fi kicked Aaron, "Shut up."
"Ouch, sorry, didn't mean offense."
"I'm not offended."
"You're a bad liar."
"I know."
Gen just laughed and shook her head. When their food arrived, Gen immediately started on hers.
"Woah there girl, hungry much?" Roger asked Fi.
"Yeah." Gen smiled sheepishly.
Throughout the entire discussion, Mark remained distant and cold; he kept sending glances over Gen's way, but only when she was involved with another discussion. He was attracted to her, but after last night, he knew he would never admit it. The only thing was, that when Mark wasn't paying attention, Gen glanced at him too.
A/N: Okay so I added yet another character, but I can't leave Marky out in the dust! I hope this was okay, please review, they mean so much to me! Oh and I apologize for any errors, my computer is simply not reading them as errors.
