Name, Shname [Tinksy!]

[Tanner O'Brien]

-damn-
-late again-
-ah well-
-wasn't his fault Shaun of the Dead came on-
-and he had to hit the slopes a little longer than planned-
-Jules would understand that-
-inner grin-
-tucks a joint behind his ear-
-safer keeping and all-
-pulls his black beanie down tighter over his head-
-hands in his pockets-
-crunches through the snow-
-and jogs up the stairs-

-grins and wave to a few girls who shout his name-
-before opening the door-
-and heading inside-

-makes his way past some familiar faces-
-and heads towards the large fireplace crackling-
-stands before it-
-rubbing his hands together to warm them-
-and somehow-
-Tanner ends up debating politics with a completely random old man sitting on a couch-

"None of that even makes sense, Son. You can't fight a battle without sending troops!"

-small grin-
-loves riling old people up-
-and this guy reminds him of his pap-
-so it's all the more amusing-

"If we weren't so monetarily confined we wouldn't be so adiment about this war in the first place now would we?"
-raises his eyebrows-
-chuckles-

"You're trying to rile me up aren't you?"
-laughs as the older man grins-

"You got me."
-grins-

"What're you standing around inside, Son? Shouldn't you be out...wrecking into trees and flipping around like a flying walonzo with the rest of your friends?"

-bursts out laughing-
-has to remember that one-
-flying walonzo-

"I live just outside of here...waiting on my girl."
-grins at the thought of Jules-

[Jules Maxton]

-the arcade had been booming today-
-everyone was rushing in from the cold-
-and running there straight away-
-and to be honest, Jules couldn't blame them-
-it was roasting in there-
-and the games were amazing-
-she often stayed after the place was closed and just played them for hours-
-of course, she always brought Tanner in as well-
-she'd never leave him out of something like that-
-today was different though-
-she was finishing up early and meeting up with him-

-of course, she was a teensy bit late-
-not like her-
-but what could she do?-
-some kid had challenged her to a Dead Or Alive tournament-
-and of course, she won-
-oh yes-
-she pwns at Dead Or Alive-
-in fact, pwns at most video games-
-Tanner had been surprised at that at first-
-but naturally was happy with it after it sunk in-
-he had a girlfriend who was good at video games-
-not just good, but loved them too-

"I'll see you all tomorrow!"

-gives a wave to one or two people-
-walks out of the arcade-
-jacket thrown over one arm-
-time to head down to the entrance-
-she was meeting Tanner there-
-no doubt he'd be at the fire place-
-warming himself up-
-gives a light smile at the thought-
-reaches the entrance-
-glances towards the fire place-
-and she was right-
-gives a shake of her head with a light inaudible laugh-
-he was riling up some old guy-

-walks up behind him-
-pokes him in the sides-
-gives a laugh-

"Tanner, what have I told you about harrassing strangers?"

-gives another laugh-
-and a smile to the old guy-
-glances up at Tanner-
-big smile on her lips now-

"Sorry I'm a bit late"

[Tanner O'Brien]

-still being amused by the old man-
-loves old people-
-they're so set in their ways-
-which is why it's so easy to rile them-

"What your generation doesn't realise are consequences!"

-lifts his brows-
-shifts his stance in front of the fireplace-
-to warm his left side now-

"We realise them! We just don't care."
-grins-
-and laughs at the next rant the man goes on-
-is about to reply-
-when he's poked-

-jumps a little-
-and beams upon seeing Jules-
"There you are."

-pulls her over to him with his arm around her shoulder-
-lifts his brows-
"Me? Harrass someone?"
-grins-
"Perish the thought."
-winks-

"No more than I was him, Sweetheart."

-laughs-
"See you around old timer!"
-grins and turns to lead himself and Jules out-
-places a kiss to the side of her head-

"Well hello Beautiful."
-grins-
-gives her a little squeeze-
"Busy day?"
-lifts his brows-

[Jules Maxton]

-gives a laugh-
-oh, he loved riling them up-
-especially with stuff like this-
-obviously politics-
-what with the old man going on about consequences-
-Tanner had the perfect answer-
-can't help but smile-
-glances up at Tanner with the same smile on her lips-
-shakes her head slightly-
-with a laugh-

"Oh no, you'd never harrass someone. Far too innocent"

-gives a cheeky grin-
-glances back to the old man-
-gives another smile-
-is pulled closer to him-
-beams up at him-
-gives a smile to the old man as she's steered away-
-feels him plant a kiss at the side of her head-
-even bigger smile now-

"Hello to you too Gorgeous"

-glancing up at him now-
-returns the squeeze-
-gives a nod-
-and a laugh at his question-
-busy day-
-well...-

"You could say that. It was all going well until some kid challenged me to a Dead Or Alive tournament."

-gives a light sigh-
-cheeky smirk on her lips now-
-tilts her head-

"Needless to say Kasumi pulled through for me once again"

-beams now-
-she was delighted she won-
-even though the kid was much younger-
-she didn't care-
-it was a challenge and she had won-

"How was your day?"

-reaches up on her tippy toes-
-places a kiss on his lips-
-not giving him a chance to answer-

[Tanner O'Brien]

-lifts his eyebrows at the mention of the game-
-and laughs-
-shaking his head slightly-
"Thought he actually had a shot at winning, did he?"
-grins-

-had been about to answer-
-though prefers what he's doing now much more-
-wraps his arms tight around her-
-pulls her up a little-
-because she's smaller than him-
-and he loves doing that-
-deepens his kiss-
-and pulls back-
-slow down cowboy-
-sets her back down-
-and kisses her forehead-

"Pretty damn boring in comparrision with that."
-winks-
-and drops his arm around her shoulder again-
"I had that Economics presentation in class this morning...came home, passed out...hit the slopes a bit..."
-grins-
"My usual."
-laughs a little-

-pushes the door open and holds it for her-
-places his hand at the small of her back to lead her through-
-before resuming his position at her side-
"Hey do you mind swinging by my mum's..."
-grins-
"Need to pick up my laundry."
-dear old mum-

[Jules Maxton]

-smiles a bit beneath the kiss-
-seeing as she was just lifted up a bit-
-he always did that-
-just because she was a good bit smaller than he was-
-brings arms up around his neck-
-could definitely just forget where they were-
-but won't-
-pulls away just as he does-
-gives a smile-
-and a nod of her head at his remark before they kissed-
-raises her eyebrows-

"Oh really?"

-gives a slight laugh as he continues talking-
-typical Tanner-
-finishes college-
-and then goes home to just pass out-
-no doubt there was something on the tv-
-he probably fell asleep to that-
-after a joint-
-she knew him all too well-
-his arm around her shoulder now-
-and her arm around his side-
-gives a smile-

"Well, that sounds eventful. That tournament was the only exciting part of my day"

-gives a nod-
-with a slight laugh-
-working in an arcade...-
-not exactly the most exciting of things-
-but it definitely passed the time-
-and it wasn't the worst job in the world-
-how could it be?-
-all you did all day was sit around, make sure people weren't killing the games and give people change-
-simple-
-walks through the door-
-big smile on her lips now-

"I don't mind, haven't seen Maureen in a while, about time I popped in to say hello"

-places arm around his side again-
-tilts head as she looks up-

"Will she be in? Oh, and you do realise that theres a laundrette just down the road from your place, right?"

-gives a slight laugh-
-shakes her head a bit-
-suddenly remembers something-

"Oh, I think I might hit the slopes later. It's been a little while since I went out on them"

-yes, she wasn't much of a boarder-
-she was more; sit around and watch-
-but the odd time she went out-
-and yes, she would fall a few times-
-but she wasn't the worst-

[Tanner O'Brien]

-laughs-
-yes she did know him inside and out-
-there wasn't really anything Tanner didn't let her in on-
-ok one thing-
-his "sales" career-
-but that was only because he didn't want to risk her knowing that if he ever did get caught-
-why put the girl he loved in unneccesary danger?-

-chuckles-
-always been relieved Jules and his mother got along-
-but then again-
-there weren't many people who couldn't get along with Maureen O'Brien-

-gives her another little squeeze-
-kisses the side of her head-
-and nods-
"She's there...and if I can recall correctly, she's baking banana bread or something."
-laughs-
-his mum was always baking-
-and with holidays coming up it had tripled-

"Pffft. Like I'm remotely capabale of figuring out what colours to wash with what and what water temperature to use for which."
-grins-

-pulls out his keys as they approach his Jeep-
-it's possibly the most obnoxious vehicle around-
-bright bumble bee yellow-
-and usually loaded down on top with boards-

-unlocks the passenger door-
-and holds it open for Jules-
"Your chariot, M'lady."
-does a mock bow-
-and grins up at her wiggling his eyebrows a wee bit-
-cheeky isn't he?-

[Jules Maxton]

-leans into him a bit-
-freezing outside-
-well, she'd just steal Tanner's warmth-
-inner snick-
-beams at the kiss at the side of her head-
-and then at the remark about Maureen being in-
-she'd always got along with her-
-ever since she'd first met her-
-the women was just an absolute saint-
-how could anyone not like her?-
-and her cooking...-
-to die for-
-perks up at the sound of baking-
-she loved it when Maureen got into cooking mode-

"Oh god, I'm praying she has it cooked"

-gives a light laugh-
-she could do with something to eat-
-not to mention a cup of tea-
-which Maureen would make as soon as Jules walked through the door-
-she was always so sweet to her-
-so accepting right away-
-which she loved-
-they always had little chats with cups of tea-
-and of course, the odd photograph of Tanner when he was younger-
-Maureen just couldn't help herself-
-many a time Tanner had walked in on their little chats-

-hears his comment about the colours-
-and water temperatures-
-wait...-
-what?-
-light frown-
-looks up-

"Theres water temperatures involved with washing?"

-yes, so she barely did her own washing either-
-she usually made sure one of the other girls was going too-
-and she'd just ask what mode to put the washing machine onto-
-and that would be that-
-gives a smile-
-he'd find that amusing anyways-
-spots his jeep-
-how could you not?-
-bright yellow-
-and she loved it-
-sits herself into the passenger side-
-gives a laugh at his chariot remark-
-tilts her head slightly-

"Does she know we're coming over? Or will it be one of your surprise visits?"

-gives a slight laugh again-
-waits for him to get into the car-
-pops on the radio-
-all out of complete habit-

[Tanner O'Brien]

-laughs at her remark about his mother-
"I'm willing to beat she's got that and like...a bunch of random pies or something as well."
-grins-
-Maureen O'Brien was all about her food-
-no one left her house hungry-
-nor did they leave without a huge pile of take home-
-and like...a scarf or something random-

-bursts out laughing at her question-
-and kisses her head again-
"Hell, Baby even my stoned ass knew that."
-grins and winks at her-

-closes the car door as she slides in-
-and walks around to his side-
-hops in-
-starts his Jeep-
-which was thankfully still warm-
-glances down as she starts the radio-
-nods his approval-
-and grins-

"Surprise."
-laughs-
"Not that she'll mind."
-when did she ever?-
-usually anytime Tanner walked in the door his mum was all over him with hugs and yelling at him for not eating properly-
-and when he had Jules along, it was twice as bad-
-but he loved that-

"She knows I need to get my clothes though."
-laughs-
"Otherwise I'll be running 'round in my knickers..."
-wiggles his eyebrows up and down-
-and winks at her-

-pulls out from the lodge-
-and heads towards the road-
-glancing around before he rams the Jeep into gear and tears down the road-
-yeah-
-he's a bit of fast driver-
-potentially wreckless-
-but not with Jules in the car-

[Jules Maxton]

"Ah, shush, you're making me hungry"

-gives a slight laugh-
-yes, she was hungry-
-but anybody would be just thinking about Maureen's cooking-
-absolutely to die for-
-how could anyone resist?-
-the answer was; they couldn't-
-Jules just couldn't understand why Tanner wasn't a heck of a lot heavier-
-that woman liked to feed armies with her food-
-the armies being Jules and Tanner of course-
-whenever they came in she always bombarded them with food-
-not to mention hugs and kisses-

-gives another laugh to his other remark-
-oh well, she didn't know it-
-but he did-
-well there was a surprise-
-thankfully she had his nod of approval for the radio-
-turns to look at him as he speaks-
-so, surprising Maureen-
-she'd get the shock of her life...-
-well not really-
-but she'd be screeching and grabbing them like mad-
-and then she'd give out for them not calling in more often-
-she really was the sweetest women alive-
-she really did just love her to pieces-

-raises her eyebrows-
-tilts her head to the side-
-gives a cheeky smirk at his next remark-
-bites at her bottom lip-
-still smirking ever so slightly-

"Well then, I don't think we should pick up your clothes"

-gives a light laugh-
-he knew she was teasing-
-but no doubt he'd bring it up later-
-used to his driving by now-
-first time she was in the car she got a bit of a fright-
-but thankfully he wasn't as bad with her in the car-
-yes, he still drove slightly fast-
-nothing that she wasn't used to by now though-
-tilts her head so she's looking at him-
-smirk on her lips-

"So, what are we doing later?"

-he would know what she was talking about-
-she had that look on her face-
-her eyes glinting slightly-
-and her lips curled into a cheeky grin-
