I'm baaack! And so in the mood to update, yay for you guys!
Thank you for those who reviewed…and I'm going to be answering reviews pretty soon. After I get a couple more, I guess…
But for now…on with the fic! Yay!
"So…" Jean began, lighting his cigarette with his lighter and sitting down, "Tell me about this dickhead you like so much…" Cain blinked at him.
"He's…not…a bad person…" he suddenly looked down, "I mean…he's just been really busy…and…yeah…." He was admiring the carpet on the floor a bit too much.
"I see…but he's oblivious either way, huh?" Cain nodded, "That's too bad…I'm sorry to hear that…" There was a brief moment where Cain wanted to walk over and smack him, but it quickly passed and he sat on the floor, comfy. He needed to change the subject, and fast…but there wasn't really much to talk about that he could think of that wouldn't upset Jean or make himself look stupid. A whimper from the kennel gave him his break,
"So…how long have you had him?" he asked, looking over at the puppy who was pawing at the lock on the kennel. Jean followed his gaze and took a drag from his cigarette,
"Oh…" he let the smoke flow out slowly, thinking, "About two weeks or so…" Cain looked over to Jean again,
"Where did you find him?"
"He found me…and then wouldn't leave me alone…"
"Aw…" he looked back over to Oreo, who was looking over at the two, his tail wagging very slowly. "How long does he have to stay in there?" Cain wanted to run over and let him out, just to hug him, "And why the name Oreo?" Jean chuckled,
"Well…a few more minutes ought to get the point across…and as far as the name goes…well…" he thought for a second and then grinned. "When I brought him home, he didn't have a name at all…and the first thing he destroyed was a package of Oreos…so it just fit…" Cain nodded,
"Puppy tend to destroy a lot when they are just getting to know a place…" Jean nodded,
"Yeah…but they don't have to clean it up…" he walked over and undid the lock, Oreo bursting out of the cage before he had a chance to open the door all the way. He thumped his way over to Cain and hopped up in his lap, lying down and enjoying being petted.
"He's so cute!"
"Yeah…say that when he's eating through all of you're furniture…and disturbing the neighbors while you're at work…" Cain looked up at him, a bit sad,
"He's just a puppy, he'll learn…" Jean gave up right there; he wasn't going to argue with a face like that, nope. An odd silence filled the room for a few minutes, as Jean watched Cain play with the puppy, trying to think of something to talk about. Thank God he had the dog, or else Cain would be bored out of his mind. He wasn't used to getting visitors. As he was thinking, Cain suddenly stood up.
"Well…I'm going to start heading home…" he said, a bit sadly. Jean raised a brow,
"Already? I thought there was something you wanted to talk about?"
"I forgot…" he said quickly, getting an odd look from Jean,
"O…k…then I guess I'll see you off for a bit, ne?" Jean stood up. Cain nodded, not sure what to do at that moment. Jean walked over and opened the door, and pushed Cain out, and then leapt out, shutting the door fast behind him. "Sorry…Oreo tends to try and slip out of you don't zip out like that…" he apologized, making Cain smile,
"Oh, I see…"
"Well then…let's go…" Jean grinned and started out.
They were at Cain's dorm door when it happened. That spark…that troublesome spark that makes everything so confusing. It's never planned, and it can never be stopped. It snuck up on them and the zapped them both.
It happened when Cain had turned to Jean to say goodnight. He looked up at him with a thankful smile,
"Good…" and he stopped. Their eyes locked, and Cain suddenly felt dizzy. He noticed that for once there wasn't a cigarette in Jean's mouth, and his mind stopped. "Night…" it was almost a whisper…he felt so fluffy standing there.
Jean felt it too…and it freaked him out a bit. He wasn't sure why he had the sudden urge to touch him…it came out of nowhere. It worried him, and he gave Cain a nod, suddenly aware of the dreamy look that Cain was giving him,
"Goodnight…I'll see you tomorrow…" he watched Cain snap out of it, and for a moment there was disappointment in his eyes.
"Um…yeah…see you…" and then Jean left. He had to…he had to go home and think…he had to think over this one hard…
