030: Shhh!

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Today I'm just having a quiet day working in the Library. Anyone I talked to yesterday about coming to visit or who wants to is more than welcome. I think after work I may go sit up on the roof for a while. I like being high up.

Mohinder, if you want me to come clean today, just let me know!

"You should see Thom do it. He's far better at it than I am." He laughed as he held them out for her. "Want me to teach you a couple tricks?"

She reached out for them, then pulled her hands back. "Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't be any good."

"You should have seen me when I first tried. I was bloody terrible. Come on, I'll show you." He nodded for her to take the three he was holding out for her.

She looked at him searchingly, then slowly took them. "All right."

Getting up, he moved behind her and placed a hand on either of hers. "We'll start slow so you can get used to it." He took one of the three and put it on her lap. "Ready?"

She stiffened when he touched her, surrounding her from behind, then forced herself to relax. "I guess, yes."

"It's alright. I won't hurt you. I give my word." He didn't know if she was accidentally listening again but he never went back on his word once he gave it. Moving her hands with his, he helped her get the two balls moving around in a slow circle.

She liked the feel of him there, warm against her back, and she knew he wouldn't hurt her, sensed it there. And felt safe.

Which let her relax enough to juggle the balls. She wasn't nearly as uncoordinated as she feared.

He took his hands away then to let her keep juggling them on her own. But, he didn't move from behind her.

"There. You've got it now."

She grinned, focusing on the balls. "This is fun!"

"You're doing well. Would you like to try three now?" He smiled over her shoulder when he caught sight of her smiling.

"All right," she said, "but they will probably all go flying!"

He laughed and put his hands on hers again to help her start all over. "Ready, Rain?"

Rain closed her eyes for a moment when he touched her, feeling a strange... something... that she didn't remember ever feeling before. "Yes, yes, I think so."

"Alright." Slowly, he started her off. Juggling three was trickier than two but he was doing his best to help her keep them going.

She kept them going for a bit, then one went skittering off somewhere and she was laughing with delight and just for the sheer joy of it all.

He laughed with her as he watched them fly. "That was bloody good for your first time. Not bad at all."

Re: Action!

She turned, still half in the circle of his arms and beamed up at him. "Thank you, Mat. Oh, that was wonderful!"

Re: Action!

He grinned back at her. "You're welcome, Rain. I'm glad you liked that."

Re: Action!

[identity profile] bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
He laughed again. "Well, good. I like it when pretty girls like you enjoy themselves."

She blushed and stood to go collect the wayward balls, not certain how to answer that.

Shaking his head, he stood to go get the one closest to him. Pocketing it, he looked over at her. "Rain? Have you ever gone dancing before?"

Re: Action!

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
She turned to look at him. "Dancing?" she said, as if it was some bizarre foreign thing. "Me? No. Of course not."

Re: Action!

[identity profile] bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded and walked over to her. "I'd like to take you sometime. If you don't know how, I'll teach you."
