Skeleton Keys

[Ricia]

Sage stared and he put the plate way above her head. She then through her hands up in defense, "No take backsies!" Sage told Sanz. She took several steps back, away from Sanz. Her hands remained out and open so he couldn't make her take the plate back. She turned quickly to grab a fork. "You'll need this too!" She said almost excited.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz let out a sigh and shook his head.


"Now, tell me how am I supposed to use that fork when I only have one good arm?"


He put the plate beratingly on Sage's head with a short *dink*

 

[Ricia]

Sanz had a point.... So when he tapped her head with the plate, Sage took both her hands and lifted up her shirt about to her first rib, stopping at the top of her stomach. She was rather pale, she obviously didn't get out in the sun much, "You can eat it off my body with your mouth, then you don't need a plate or a fork."

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz immediately let go of the plate, forcing Sage to balance it on top of his head


"Or, I could not do that. In fact, I could do absolutely anything that wasn't that."


Sanz couldn't help but notice the complete lack of muscle on Sage's torso. Beyond that of a male who didn't work out, it was much smoother . . .

 

[Ricia]

Sage immediately froze and balanced the plate on her head. She didn't move before trying to hand the fork in her hand to Sanz. "Eaaat... it plllease." Sage begged. She now lightly wiggled the fork in her hand while balancing he plate on her head.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz crossed his arms and took a step back. That half-smirk that had graced his face for a second when Sage last spoke to him in front of school could barely be seen again


"You know . . . I think I may just stand here for a little while."

 

[Ricia]

Sage froze and kind of let the plate balance there for a bit. Only because Sanz seem to think it was funny. Tormenting her seemed to be on a list of things he thought were great. Like leaving a giant dog to eat her alive. Maybe if she stood there long enough... he'd eat it out of pity.

 

[Ixidor92]

(Oh he doesn't enjoy tormenting her . . . much :3)


Sanz tilted his head to the side as Sage stood motionless, as if expecting him to do something about it


"You know, this is the most quiet you've been since I've met you. Maybe I should always have a plate to put on top of your head."

 

[Ricia]

"Talking.... moves... plate..." Sage said still holding the balancing pause. She was pretty still too since she hadn't really reached up to grab the plate, her hand still slightly outstretched with the fork to Sanz.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz reached in and put one finger, just one finger, against the center of Sage's chest


"Hmm . . . that doesn't make it any less of an attractive idea. Now I could remove the plate, if you promise to stop pestering me. Alternatively I could--"


He gave just the gentlest push against Sage, not enough to really move him at all, but enough for him to feel pressure on his chest

 

[Ricia]

Sage rolled her eyes and reached up to take the plate from her head before he pushed her lightly. She didn't want to chance the plate spilling food. "You really think that was a bargain?" Sage said rolling her eyes. She retreated for now however, because she did need to finish preparations for her mother tomorrow.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz let out a sigh


"I had hoped."


He shook his head and started to walk out of the kitchen


"Where should I go to sleep? We need to wake up in about three hours."

 

[Ricia]

"Three..." Sage said almost flabbergasted raising an eyebrow, "Where is the fire? Is someone dying?"

 

[Ixidor92]

"There's no fire. We need to get to my place tomorrow morning, and it needs to be before most people are awake. It's currently 2:30, so if we wake up at 5:30 we can be out of here and at my place before 7."


Sanz ran his good hand through his hair as he spoke


"This isn't a request. It needs to be done."

 

[Ricia]

Sage sighed before turning to finished putting things into her fridge. She had prepared several small meals. "My mom needs breakfast you know.."

 

[Ixidor92]

"I assume your mother also needs you healthy and in one Sage-sized piece."


Sanz glared at Sage, not angry, but deadly serious


"If so. You're coming with me tomorrow morning. You're free to head back as soon as our business is concluded."

 

[Ricia]

Sage let out a long sigh, "Fine... You can sleep in my room." Sage said politely. They didn't have a guest room.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz, for once, actually looked shocked.


"Um . . . really, I can just sleep on a couch or something, it's fine."

 

[Ricia]

"Hmm, we don't really have a guest room. Plus on the couch with that arm when the pain killers wear out... it's going to be really uncomfortable." Sage said before reaching to wash her hands. "I'll be ok on the couch. My arm isn't broken, i'm just sore all over."

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz walked over and grabbed Sage by the back of his collar, as if he was about to drag the boy behind him


"No. I'm not kicking you out of your own room in your own house."

 

[Ricia]

Sage gasped lightly, "Ah what... what are you doing?" She asked before turning her hand and flicking her wet hand's into Sanz's face. "Down boy, chill out. It's just for the night... and you're the guest..." Sage complained.

 

[Ixidor92]

"No."


Sanz shook his head firmly


"I have certain things that I will and will not do, and I will not force someone else out of their bed."


Truth be told, he hadn't been able to sleep anywhere else besides his own bed reliably for the past several years. It made him too uneasy

 

[Ricia]

(Now I totally had the crazy few days. It was a full moon for the site too haha.)


"Ok, we can share the bed then!" Sage said clasping her fist into her hand.

 

[Ixidor92]

(it's cool. I had a crazy time studying for a midterm I definitely bombed. I forgot my calculator . . . and it was a stats exam)


Sanz shook Sage. Violently


"No. Never in a million years if my very survival depended on it."


Sharing a bed with just about anyone was out of the question. With this scamp? Never.

 

[Ricia]

(Oh hell that sucks.... its ok. I bombed mine too. My life is now teetering on a 70 average.... need to assure a win the next few tests....)


Sage felt herself get violently shook, mostly violently treated in general by Sanz. "I wasn't expecting such a violent reaction.... aww come on, I don't molest the unwilling." Sage sounded like she was promising him this.
