Daisy Chains// [Romance] no longer accepting.

Tamesis bit his tongue as her fingers brushed his palm. He felt strange, his heart beating faster and harder than usual. He ate the rest of the popcorn, a smile playing on his lips. Still aware of his arm behind her on the top of the sofa, he focused his mind fully on the film. Glad that he wasn't alone, the film was one of the freakiest he had seen. Freddie Krueger flashed before them.

Alexis listened to it, raising her eyebrows. At the last answer, she blushed slightly and looked down, biting her bottom lip. Her eyes flickered up a smile played on her lips before she looked away again. She almost felt like saying "Well that's a first." But she held it in. Only just though.

Raquel jumped visibly at another particularly freaky part, then blushed, biting her bottom lip and sinking further into the couch, her arms tightening around the pillow by her stomach. This was second only to Quarantine in her mind; it was a pretty freaky, bloody movie. She winced at the following murder, then took a sip of her Coke, also glad that she wasn't alone. And particularly happy that it was Tamesis she was with.

Damon arched an eyebrow at her blush and when she looked down, and crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes flickering over her highlighted blue eyes and the light pink on her cheeks. "Were you expecting a different answer?" he asked curiously, humor hinting in his pale green eyes.

[Aғтɛя Ɩ Ғαℓℓ]

"Actually yes. I was." Alex said but she didn't bother saying what; she would just let him guess. The one answer she was thinking was "I don't know." but he might have been thinking differently. Her blue eyes twinkling now in the moonlight, Alexis sighed and propped herself up ontop of the railing, now actually able to look him directly in the eyes. Either he was tall or she was short.

He turned his head away from the movie and grinned at her. He found that his arm had moved and his hand was on her shoulder reassuringly when she had jumped. His thumb rubbed the skin between her shoulder and her neck absent mindedly before something jolted in his mind and he took his arm away and brought it back to his chest, using it to grab his drink. Foolish, stupid. He was being cruel, leading her on. Well, maybe she didn't even like him that way. Yes, that must be it. Otherwise she wouldn't be here...right?

[Harpy•]

Raquel smirked sheepishly at his grin, but she stiffened slightly when his hand moved to her shoulder. She froze completely when his thumb rubbed between her shoulder and neck. Heat flushed the back of her neck and the high parts of her cheeks, making her bite her bottom lip and look down at her hands when he took his hand away. She pulled in a slightly shaky breath, watching him intently out of the corner of her eyes, then reluctantly tore them away, flickering them to the movie screen. She hated this slight awkwardness. Did he like her? Why else would he do that? She blushed again at the thought of what happened, then bit her bottom lip without even knowing she was doing it.

~*~

Damon grinned at her, then tsked his tongue and shook his head, watching her when she hopped up onto the side railing. Her face was illuminated beautifully in the moonlight, making her blue eyes stand out, sparkling now. "So you're gonna make me wonder what answer you were expecting?" he asked, putting mock hurt into his tone.

[Aғтɛя Ɩ Ғαℓℓ]

Alex could just pick the mock tone in his voice. Smiling slightly, she bit her bottom lip and nodded.
"Pretty much." She laughed, smirking slightly. Lifting her hand up, Alexis swiped a strand of hair out of her eyes and then raised her eyebrows.

Although staring intenty at the screen, he caught her face out of the corner of his eye. "Sorry" he said, turning his head slightly to face her, "it's a habit. My sister loved horror films, thoigh she would get terrified. What I just did helped her calm down and not get so worked up." He smiled apologetically at her. "Again, sorry" he said, grabbing another piece of popcorn. It was a true story, but that was it, a story. He told it well.

[Harpy•]

Raquel looked at him, her eyes flickering over his face, lingering slightly on his deep green eyes. "It's okay," she murmured in reply, her eyes moving to his hand when it reached for more popcorn. "It did kinda help, actually." She smiled at him, then reluctantly moved her eyes back to the screen, having to tear her eyes away from him. Yeah, it had helped. It had distracted her from the movie, that was for sure.

~*~

Damon grinned at her, keeping his arms crossed as he leaned across the wall from her railing. "I don't think I will." He arched his eyebrows at her in return, a smile tugging at his lips when he made his face grow serious. His eyes flickered to catch the movement of her hand, the effortless way it brushed her hair from her eyes.

[Aғтɛя Ɩ Ғαℓℓ]

"Right. Anyway, so am I just gonna stand out here and bleed to death or what?" She said holding up her other arm which had a long, slightly deep cut from her elbow to wrist. Having only just noticed it before, Alex thought she would make it clear that she did end up getting injured from the fall. Otherwise, she had a feeling if she didn't tell him and he found out, he might go off his head.
