What if.........Rachel wasn't a massive slut.

"Well, to be fair, some of them are probably right, but... probably not as shallowly as most people would expect?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:33 am

"I didn't think that it was because you were shallow."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 1:20 am

Ryan smirked. "So just wanting a roll in the hay with you isn't shallow?" he teased.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:25 am

"I didn't think so." Rachel said "it was more that I couldn't understand....it didn't make sense that you'd want anything else from me."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 11:42 pm

Ryan pulled her over to sit with him so he could relax on the couch (which he needed to do, sadly). "Why?" he asked, completely baffled at this latest revelation. "And how does it not make me look shallow if you can't fathom me wanting a girl for more than sex?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 11:52 pm

"Not wanting 'a girl' for more than that, wanting me for more than that." Rachel clarified.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:00 am

Ryan blinked. "Oh hell... It was the kissing, wasn't it. I shouldn't have done it that soon. Look, I'm sorry, Rachel, if I had any idea I was making you feel like that, I'd have made sure to fix it," he said, wincing.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:20 am

"The kissing was good." Rachel said "It just...when you kissed me, it made sense. You liked me, and well, I"m not a superhero, or from Genosha, or famous or talented or anything you'd want."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:24 am

"So we come back to the 'how doesn't that make me shallow' question?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:31 am

"Because, you deserve someone wonderful." Rachel said "You could have any girl you want, so why would you settle?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:36 am

He shrugged. "You're right, I should. So I'm not settling."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:04 am

"I thought you said that you wanted to date me." Rachel said.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:45 pm

"Ah... yeah, I did," Ryan said, not understanding where the communication breakdown was happening.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:05 am

"Well, that means that you want to settle."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:07 am

"How is dating settling?" he asked, still obviously confused.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:51 pm

Rachel thought for a moment, trying to sort out her confusion "Ah, ok." she said "I see what you mean."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:11 pm

"Well maybe it's the blood loss, but I'm still not getting where the confusion's coming in, so can you help me out here?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:30 pm

"You want to date, and have fun, and you think that I'm the right girl to date." Rachel said "It'll be fun."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 12:15 am

"I... think that we're having a breakdown of communication here somewhere," Ryan said. "Can you elaborate what you just said a little more? Just humor the poor slow blood-loss victim."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 1:32 am

"Well, you aren't shallow." Rachel said "And you want more than just sex, so you decided to go out with me, because you want...a friend. Someone to go on dates with and have fun, not just someone to get naked with. It makes sense." she smiled "And you need to get into bed."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 1:38 am

Ryan rubbed his temples. "I... yeah, hard to think while I'm getting dizzy," he admitted. "Laying down should help." He walked over to the bed to lay down, clearly indicating for her to join him.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 1:48 am

Rachel, still wearing her bathrobe, lay down beside him. "Are you comfortable?" she asked.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 1:52 am

Ryan nodded, wrapping his arm over her before he draped his wing over them. It was, as he'd told her, pretty hot in there with a bathrobe on. "Is the problem," he asked quietly, "That I haven't used the word 'girlfriend' yet? Because I've just gotten it nailed into my head that throwing that word around is kind of presumptuous and rude and that girls don't like it and was going under that assumption."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:04 am

"Wait." Rachel said "You're saying that you thought I'd have a problem with being your girlfriend?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:06 am

"Well, with me just assuming that you wanted to be, at least. I mean, it hasn't been that long, and... well, most girls don't. I've just been hoping I could bring you around to it."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:24 am

"Of course I want to be your girlfriend." Rachel said "Why would you even think that I wouldn't want to?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:26 am

"Because I'm supposed to be some womanizing prettyboy who's more trouble than he's worth?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:30 am

"If anyone told you that, they are nuts." Rachel said "You are pretty, and well, you do have a reputation for chasing girls.....but that isn't a problem. And I tihnk you are worth quite a bit of trouble."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:33 am

""Well, since you obviously didn't think I'd want more than something casual with a girl, I have to wonder about that," he pointed out.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 12:15 pm

"No, I didn't think that you wanted more than something casual with me."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:00 pm

Ryan rolled his eyes. "Right, because there's something that would make you any less worth it than... oh shit, that's exactly what you're saying, isn't it."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:11 am

"Yeah, pretty much." Rachel said "I mean, don't get me wrong this is...everything that I've dreamed about but...It doesn't seem quite real."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:28 am

Ryan chuckled. "Careful what you say with 'all you dreamed of.' I'm not all that great," Ryan said, sliding his hand down along her back through the bathrobe.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:29 pm

"Please." Rachel said "I have a hot, shirtless guy in my bed, with his wings wrapped around me. This is total win."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:38 pm

"And that guy's completely tanked everything resembling a relationship that he's ever been in, so let's not get carried away here," he said, reaching up an brushing his fingers along her cheek.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:28 pm

"Yes, it's doomed to end in tears and misery." Rachel teased "So lets enjoy it while it lasts."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:32 pm

"I'll have you know that you'd have to work extremely hard to make me cry," he teased back.

"...Why do you take it like that? I'd expect you to be having guys lining up to try to get you to go out with them."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:42 pm

"A lot of dates, but no one who I really clicked with." Rachel replied "Lots of 'its not you, its me' conversations."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 12:22 am

Ryan smiled at that. Then he slowly (and somewhat tiredly, since he was) leaned in and kissed her. And didn't seem to be inclined to hurry through it.

"Want to know something?" he asked quietly. "I think that I believe them. It was them."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 1:01 am

"And for the first time, I think that might be right."
