Outcast 1x1 with the_kiiwii

[Piera]

"You didn't cause this fight, my brother would of said anything to set me off." He had no idea what went down with Avalons dad but he doubted that the harpy caused that fight either.

"Eh I'm fine. Nothing I can't handle." Penn offered a confident smile, slightly obscured by the rag he held against his nose. In all honesty, his wings being wet is what annoyed him the most. He could handle a bloody nose.

"If you uh..really wanna give me a hand, you could help dry my wings? I could pull it off if I had both hands free." Penn chuckled. He hoped Avalon wasn't just being polite by offering, that would be embarrassing.

It seemed like Penn's brother would truly do anything to get under his siblings skin. However that seemed like how most siblings act, they annoy the hell out of each other but in the end they are still family and love each other. Avalon was glad to know it wasn't exclusively his fault. After all, he had been the cause of far to many quarrels. If he wasn't the way he was then... Well, if he didn't like who he likes and didn't act the way he did then his father would be fine with him. Avalon always blamed himself for the fights between him and his father. If he was just able to fix who he was then everything would be fine. But, it didn't seem to work because he couldn't just stop being who he was.

Avalon nodded. It sure seemed like Penn would need help but he couldn't force Penn to accept his offer so he would just let him know he was willing to help out. So he was very surprised when Penn ended up asking Avalon to help dry off his wings.

Avalon gulped. He simply said yes and took the towel from Penn. Avalon wasn't really sure how he was supposed to dry the boy's feathers, so he took the towel and rubbed the top of Penn's wings. He was doing his best not to mess up the angels feathers so he was being gentle. It was much easier to dry his own feathers because he could tell when he was being to rough but he wasn't sure because it was someone else's wings.

Penn kept his rag to his nose while Avalon dried his wings, occasionally shifting them a little once in a while some the harpy boy wouldn't focus on one spot too much. It was surprisingly gentle how Avalon was, Penn wasn't even that gentle with his own wings.

Penn closed his eyes for a minute to relax. What a crazy day. Especially for Avalon. He hoped his family and himself hadn't weirded him out. Not like the harpy could just leave and find a new place to stay if he was uncomfortable, to Penn, right now he seemed fine.

"Thanks for the help." He said, offering a smile. "If you're, uh..feeling extra helpful, think you could bring some dinner? If I see Tyler I can't guarantee I won't kick his ass again." Penn asked sheepishly. He didn't want to use Avalon as a little slave but it was true, he would go after hus brother again, given the chance.

[the_kiiwii]

Avalon just focused in drying Penn's wings instead of thinking about earlier. He was glad that Penn would occasionally move his wings because Avalon would sort of space out and spend to long on a specific spot. It took a while but didn't feel long. It was surprisingly relaxing to just sit there. Besides, it helped take his mind off of his father and their fight.

When he was done and Penn's wings were mostly dry Avalon backed up a bit and just set the wet towel in his own lap. "No problem." he responded. Avalon really didn't mind helping. plus it was an excuse to get close to Penn. "Oh um sure! I can, no problem." he agreed. Avalon set the towel down and headed out of his room and to the kitchen.

He scrounged around for two plates and silverware. Avalon avoided eye contact with Tyler as he loaded up Penn's plate and then put some on his own. He barely manged to avoid dropping a plate as he finished getting food then brought it to the angel

[Piera]

Once Avalon had left his room, Penn gave his wings a few good flaps to get any water left out. The harpy had done a pretty good job. Better than Penn could have done on his own. He chuckled to himself, imagining the mess Tyler had to clean up. Serves him right. Penn mumbled and boasted to himself about beating his brother the short time Avalon was out of the room.

When the harpy boy came back, Penn perked up at seeing his food. "Aw cheers Av, you're the best!" he beamed and took a plate, totally ignoring the silverware as he began to eat with his hands. Who needs manners? They're both dudes. Penn got comfy on his bed as he continued to shovel food in his mouth.

"Wanna watch a movie?" He managed to mutter through his food. Sitting together to queitly eat wasn't Penns idea of a fun time. Atleast a movie would be some background noise.

[the_kiiwii]

Avalon handed Penn the plate of food and plopped down on the side of Penn's bed. Th-thanks," he stuttered. Even such a few little, empty words made Avalon's heart skip a beat. He had a serious issue. The harpy wasn't even sure why he liked Penn so much but his feelings were just getting stronger.

He began to slowly eat his dinner as Penn scarfed down his own food. His parents had drilled propped manners into him, just in case one his dad's rich friends came over or his mother's co-workers came over and they needed to impress them. Despite his mother not being as strict, both his parents wanted to keep up a good respectable reputation. So that meant Avalon had to learn manners, appropriate greetings, how to dress himself well (even though he normally just wore hoodies and jeans) how to address others and so much more. Though he usually only ever used what he had been taught when he needed to, Avalon still tried to show some manners.

Avalon nodded in response to Penn's question. "Yeah, that's sounds like a good idea." it definitely beat sitting there listening to the sound of food being chewed. "What do you want to watch?" he asked. Avalon assumed that Penn had a lot of movies since his video game collection was pretty large.

((I was thinking maybe Penn should realize Avalons feelings pretty soon. It doesn't necessarily have to be within this day if you don't want. If that sounds good with you.))

[Piera]

"We've got plently of movies of all types. What do you wanna watch?" Penn gestured vaguely towards his tv that had cases of dvds all mixed up around it. "It's a bit of a mess. I don't usually put them back in the right cases. There might even be games in there."

Penn left Avalon to pick out whatever movie he wanted. He was the guest after all. He secretly hoped Avalon picked a scary movie and not some smultzy boring one.

(Yeah sounds good, I dont mind if its this day.)

[the_kiiwii]

Avalon moved towards the TV and soon began to shuffle through CD cases. He had watched almost all of the movies Penn had. He noticed how many horror or all around creepy movies had. The majority of the collection was horror. Avalon was also a fan of scary movies, though he often got scared. Avalon wasn't really sure why he watched them but he did. After a minute of rumaging through disks be found the case for the Conjuring, why not. Though, like Penn had suggested the movie wasn't in its own case. He found it after another minute or two of searching. The harpy boy didn't particularly like the mess so he puts few movies in their proper cases as he looked. Avalon handed Penn the disc. "This one okay?" he asked the angel.

Avalon sat back down on the bed. He moved a bit closer to Penn then before. He hoped that Penn wouldn't notice his unease when they watched the movie.

[Piera]

Penn watched Avalon dig through his mess of dvds, noticing him put a few back in their proper case. Penn was never much of a clean freak about his room or the house but he didn't want the hapry to think he was a pig. Though he had just shovled his dinner down right infront of Avalon, it was a little to late to act like he had manners.

When Avalon handed him a movie and asked if it was alright, Penn was more than thrilled it was a scary movie. "Yeah man, this is good." Penn climbed off his bed and put the movie on, swapping out whatever was in there before and putting it in a random case. He started it before climbing back on the bed and parked himself next to Avalon, he laid down and streched out a little. He felt he'd probably fall asleep during the movie. He usually passed out after eating alot, he hoped Avalon didn't mind.

[the_kiiwii]

Penn seemed surprisingly relaxed. Avalon was excited but also nervous and the movie was just beggining. He just really didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Penn. He already did that all the time anyway. Avalon sat still as the movie played he watched the screen and no paying attention to Penn much.

He had moved a bit closer to the angel with each scare. Avalon hadn't realized that they were so close until he bumped arms with Penn. He looked down to apologize and was shocked to see Penn asleep. How could he sleep through this movie!? Avalon stared longer then he should have. Penn seemed so at peace, especially compared to how he looked earlier. Penn looked especially handsome that moment, though Avalon thought Penn always looked handsome, it was just he couldn't stop staring. It's not like he could gawk like this when Penn was awake so Avalon took the opportunity. He moved even closer studying the angel, completely forgetting about the movie happening behind him.
