My Flower Boy (1x1)

[iMeisaki]

She came out with the clothes in her hands and started walking towards the laundry room. He wasn't there so she came out and looked at the bathroom. 'Probably in there..' She thought.


She knocked on the door. "Elliot..I have the clothes so do you want me to come in or..you take them from me?" She asked not knowing what to do. She was cautious in the question.

 

[lassassin]

"Hm?" He asks and turned around to the door.


"Oh," he sees the door opened a little, "just give me it through there."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Okay, here." She handed him the clothes. She was blushing and hoped he wouldn't see her. She turned around and headed in the kitchen, she sat down at the table and looked at the mail. She went through it and saw the letter saying that the house would go up for auction if she didn't pay the money due in three months.

 

[lassassin]

Elliot took the clothes and tried them out, the pants were a bit to long and the shirt was perfect fit on him. He got out and put his pants also in the washing machine. He went quietly behind her and read the letter.


"You owe?"

 

[iMeisaki]

Her eyes widened as she didn't realize he was behind her. She rested her head on her fist. "About $2,500..." She sighed knowing she'd have to find another job. "Hopefully something good happens with my..furniture. Oh shoot, I left it outside!" She ran outside and quickly brought in the two tables she made earlier. "At least they aren't ruined." She said as she dried it off.

 

[lassassin]

"You made these?" Elliot approaches one of the table. gliding a palm over it. "It's amazing. You have a gift." He looks at her with a new perspective.


"I can give you some money. The nurse told me you paid for my medical and I can pay you back."

 

[iMeisaki]

"No! You saved me so I paid you back, we're even. Thanks though, I took after my mom, she made furniture too." She smiled.


Her hair was dripping and her shirt got wet and her shoulders were damp from the rain. She smiled at him complimenting her work.

 

[lassassin]

Elliot is quiet, thinking on what to say next.


"Life shouldn't be repaid by money..." He pauses and mumbles, "You could pay me back by a kiss."


He rakes a hand through his hair and watches the puddle still on the table. He then looks up. "What if I bought your furniture? We'd both benefit. I get to pay you and I get, in return, an amazing original piece of furniture."


His attention goes to her glistening wet hair, noticing how wet it really is. "Uh shouldn't you change also?"

 

[iMeisaki]

Ava looked up at him when he offered the deal.


"Hmm..If you really like it, I can sell it to you. But for now, I could give you one of the tables because I need to give it to my friend so she can sell one online so people could see it and maybe it could get me a job. But I can give you this one." She paused.


When Elliot had told her about her hair she finally noticed by touching her hair. She sighed in being clueless about it.


"Yea, I'll be right back."


She went in her room and changed her shirt and put her hair up in a ponytail because she didn't feel like drying it. She came out with a towel and dried the top of the table noticing the puddle.

 

[lassassin]

He watches her disappear and come back in a few minutes. 'She should put her hair up more often, she has such a pretty face and neck.' He looks down at the table, to cover the small blush. "This one? That's fair, how much?"

 

[iMeisaki]

She squinted her eyes trying to think of a reasonable price. "It's um...about...250. Yea! 250 dollars." She finally thought of a good price and smiled while looking down.

 

[lassassin]

"$250? Alright." He reaches into his borrowed pants and takes out his checkbook, having transferred everything from his pants to the ones he has now. He writes the check for her and rips it out, handing it to her.

 

[iMeisaki]

She took the check and smiled. "Thank you, really it means a lot." She smiled at him. "Can I help you bring it back to your place when the rain stops?" She asked politely.

 

[lassassin]

Elliot thinks about it. "If that'll be alright with you." He smiles back. 'Her smile is infectious.'

 

[iMeisaki]

"Well I think it's alright. I'll check the weather to see how long this rain will last." She headed towards her laptop and looked at the weather report. Her hand rested under her chin.


"Well..if it's 1:20 now...it should stop in another hour." She leaned back in the seat not knowing what they wanted to do for a whole hour.

 

[lassassin]

"That's a long time from now. What are we going to do?" He looked out the window and saw a flash of light.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Hmmm I don't really know, we can do whatever you want. I don't have company over a lot." She laughed to herself. Then she looked over at him. "Did you see something?" She asked.

 

[lassassin]

"Yeah, I think I saw," before he could finish the power goes out. "Lightning." Elliot sighs and puts his hands up and moves to Ava. "You got candles?"

 

[iMeisaki]

She yelped when there was a loud boom sound and then the lights when out. "Yea, I have candles." She sighed in relief that nothing worse happened.

 

[lassassin]

"Where are they?" He asked politely. "You okay? You kind of screamed."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Yea I'm okay, kinda afraid of thunder.." She confessed. "I'll get them, they are in the drawer in the kitchen." She got up and took out a few candles and matches and lit the candles putting two on the table and others around the house.

 

[lassassin]

"I'll take care of you." He smiles warmly and helps out in putting the candles up.

 

[iMeisaki]

She laughed to herself and thought at what he said: I'll take care of you. She heard those words from Joseph before when they were together. She forced a smile towards him and went in the bathroom to put in another candle when a two tears went down her cheek. She squinted her eyes and quickly wiped them away and went back out in the main room trying to make it seem like everything was okay.

 

[lassassin]

Elliot was putting four candle on the entertainment center when Ava comes out. He turns around, surveys their work and flashes a grin.


"This is a good look for the house." He comments and sits on the couch. 'Especially on you.' Elliot tilts his head up, watching the light dance around the ceiling. The scents from the candles already circulating through the house, relaxing him even more into the couch.

 

[iMeisaki]

She smiled at his comment. "My dad made this house actually, a little before I was born." She sat next to him on the couch and looked around her house seeing the pictures of her father but none of her mother. She looked back at Elliot and glanced at him. 'I wonder how he could change into Joseph' She thought to herself.
